Consumer Description

WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION, ON HIGHWAY OR ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME, THE CHECK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON DISPLAY SCREEN, WITH AN BEEPING ALARM, THEN THE BRAKES DROP TO FLOOR BARELY STOPPING THE VEHICLE WITH A GRUDGING NOISE. I WENT TO THE DEALER, THEY GAVE ME THE OPTION TO REPLACE THE ABS SYSTEM BUT WAS NOT SURE OF THE EXACT PROBLEM AND TRIED TO SELL ME A NEWER CAR. THIS COMPANY ALREADY HAS LOTS OF RECALLS AND HAS PUT MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER VEHICLES THE SAME AS MINE AND THEY ARE NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE.
