Consumer Description

I GET A BRAKE LIGHT AND A SLIP LIGHT SOMETIMES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. MAKES AN AWFUL NOISE AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKES FAIL TO OPERATE. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO RESET SOMETHING AND THEN ITS FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND COMES BACK. IT IS VERY SCARY. OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING. SAYING THEY THINK THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF PEOPLE CRASHING THEIR SUV BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS HAPPENS JUST WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I SEE THIS A LOT IN THE FORUMS AND WONDER WHY THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST 5 YEARS.
