Consumer Description

THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THIS CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE, AT APPROX. 3,000 MI. THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS "REPAIRED" UNDER WARRANTY. AT APPROX. 5,000 MI. THE ABS/BRAKE WARNING LIGHT BOTH CAME ON THE DEALER KEPT THE CAR FOR 2 1/2 DAYS "REPARING THE SYSTEM". THE ONLY PROBLEMS UP UNTILL NOW HAVE BEEN THE ABS/BRAKE WARNING LIGHT BOTH COMING ON AT THE SAME TIME, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON WOULD CLEAR THE LIGHTS AND SEEM TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. AT ABOUT 48,000 MI. THE PEDEL WOULD OCCASIONALY DROP VERY CLOSE TO THE FLOOR WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES(MORE SO UNDER LIGHT BRAKING). NOW THE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW AND STOP. AS OF TODAYS BRAKE INSPECTION, MY LOCAL MECHANIC TELLS ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THERE IS SOMTHING WRONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER/ABS MODULATOR. *AK
