Consumer Description

I AM AWARE OF 2 OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS SAME VEHICLE (YR. MAKE AND MODEL). ALL HAVE THE SAME PART THAT HAS GONE BAD IN THE LAST MONTH. THE 2 DEALERS I'VE CONTACTED SAY THAT THERE IS A LONG WAITING LIST FOR THIS PART! YOU'RE JUST SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THEY CAN GET IT (NOT KNOWING IF YOU HAVE ABS OR NOT I SUPPOSED)! ALSO ANOTHER DECEPTIVE/DANGEROUS PART OF THIS PROBLEM IS THAT THE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS ARE INCONSISTANT. ON SOME TRIPS IT COMES ON AND ON OTHERS IT DOESN'T. IT NEVER STAYS ON. YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IF YOU SHOULD PUMP THE BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY OR NOT!*AK
