Consumer Description
I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN A GRINDING/SPRINGY SOUND CAME OUT FROM UNDER AND THE :BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT WOULD NOT STOP, LUCKILY I WAS ON A FLAT ROAD SO IT DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES TO GET THERE. IF I WERE GOING AT A HIGH SPEED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. YOU CAN REPLACE A CAR, BUT YOU CAN'T REPLACE A PERSON. I HAVE AN 8 MONTH OLD BABY WHO NEEDS ME. MY BROTHER IN LAW IS A MECHANIC FOR ALL TYPES OF CARS AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, HE TOLD ME THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ARMADAS (04-07). MINE IS AN 06. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING OFF MY CAR AND BACK ON TO RESTART SOME COMPUTER? I AM NOT GOOD WITH CARS. IF THIS HAPPENS AT A HIGH SPEED AND I CAN'T STOP BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT IS ON YOUR HANDS.YOU KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM, YET DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS ARMADA IS A DEATHTRAP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY BROTHER IN LAW SUSPECTS IT IS THE ABS,VDC,BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I WAS SPEAKING TO SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR, AND ONCE WHEN A LIGHT TURN RED AND HE TRIED TO STOP HE COULDN'T AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?
