Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I just had the car in with 6600 miles for an oil change and they performed the 7500 mile check up and found nothing wrong with the car. that afternoon i first notice the brakes feel soft and not slow the car i shook it off thinking i felt it wrong. i noticed it 2 days later again and decided i should get it back to the dealer but before i could i lost the brakes as i was turning a corner and went over a curb through a sing before i got in control and turned out of the grass i was in. i had body work done and some front suspension components replaced but nothing done to brakes no one found anything wrong. my insurance company said they would have it inspected and i never heard anything from them. that was october of 2003 and the problem is happening again. i haven't had it back to dealer yet i am waiting til i can cause the problem consistently so they know there is a problem. after hearing others problems with dealers saying it's fine for them i want to make sure i can prove it for them.*ak
