Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 30 MILES AN HOUR I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AND THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE CLOSED FOR A SECOND WHICH CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK TO THE LEFT. SINCE THAT FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 70 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DEALERS WHICH FOUND VARIOUS CODES. APPARENTLY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THE WIRING HARNESS BECAUSE BOTH DEALERS REROUTED THE HARNESS SEVERAL TIMES AND PUT A SHIELD ON IT EACH TIME. I HAD THE STEERING SENSOR REPLACED ONE TIME FOR $200 AND THE YAW SENSOR FOR $400. AFTER THE YAW SENSOR WAS CHANGED THE VEHICLE DID NOT GIVE ME ANY PROBLEM FOR A FULL YEAR. IT STARTED AGAIN SO THIS TIME I PULLED THE FUSE ON THE ABS BRAKES WHICH GIVES YOU STANDARD BRAKES AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MORE PROBLEMS. I NOW HAVE 120,000 MILES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM. IF I KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL I CAN REACT TO THE PROBLEM BUT I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VAN. I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE VAN SO I HATE TO GET RID OF IT. I HAVE DRIVEN CARS WITH OUT ABS BRAKES ALL MY LIFE SO I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY. I FEEL IT IS SAFER THIS WAY THAN LETTING THE BRAKE ENGAGE ON ITS ON. *TR
