Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED & NEED TO SUDDENLY STOP, THE VEHICLE BRAKES LOCK UP & DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME. BASICALLY, THE TIRES LOCK UP & THE CAR CONTINUES TO SKID & SCREECH. THIS IS ESPECIALLY AGGRAVATED WHEN THE VEHICLE DRIVES OVER A POTHOLE OR OTHER DEFECT IN THE ROADWAY WHILE BRAKING OR IN CONSTANT STOP-&-GO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAS NARROWLY MISSED CRASHING INTO OTHER VEHICLES OR STRUCTURES NUMEROUS TIMES. I NOTICED THE PROBLEMS WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE NEW 2011 CAR. IT FEELS VERY DANGEROUS & SCARY & I'M VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE IF THE CAR WILL RESPOND PROPERLY IN AN EMERGENCY. *TR
