Consumer Description

ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONLY LISTED THIS AS 1 INSTANCE OF FAILURE SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS POORLY DESIGNED (DANGEROUS) SOLUTION FINALLY COST ME GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS ABS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO LOOSE SLEEP AT NIGHT SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE VARIOUS TIMES IT HAS FAILED ME! IT SHOULDN'T TAKE AN EINSTEIN TO FIGURE OUT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH A BRAKE SYSTEM THAT FAILS WHEN YOU REALLY NEED IT TO WORK! NOT ONLY DOES IT FAIL THE BRAKES, BUT SINCE THE POWER STEERING IS USED TO (HYDROBOOST) POWER THE BRAKE SYSTEM, WHEN THE ABS UNIT DUMPS THE FLUID TO RELEASE THE BRAKE PRESSURE, YOU ALSO LOOSE STEERING ABILITY! I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THIS INADEQUATE DESIGN. I GUESS I SHOULD COUNT MYSELF LUCKY THAT I'M EVEN ABLE TO WRITE THIS, BUT THIS SYSTEM IS PLAINLY INADEQUATE AND FLAWED AT THE DESIGN LAYER. EITHER SOMEONE REQUIRES THIS TO BE CORRECTED OR EVERYONE THAT DRIVES A VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF SOLUTION BETTER TRIPLE THEIR LIFE INSURANCE AND QUADRUPLE THEIR LIABILITY INSURANCE AND ATTEND CHURCH SERVICES DAILY IN HOPES THAT THEY SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!! OH, MAYBE I'VE TOUCHED ON SOMETHING THERE. DO YOU THINK THE INSURANCE COMPANIES MIND THE PROSPECT OF HAVING EVERYONE HAVING TO INCREASE THEIR INSURANCE TO PREPARE FOR THE RESULTS? DT
