| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When originally purchased, the car would not pass inspection r/t brakes and emissions. the dealership got the vehicle to pass inspection, but i took the vehicle in on 2-3 different occasions for problems with the brakes failing to stop the car properly along with the vehicle speeding up. they replaced a part that caused the speeding up, but claimed the brakes were ok. after that the vehicle was brought back 3 more times for the intermittent brake faillure/slow response, nearly causing several major accidents, along with an ungodly noise when the abs system failed and locked up. abs light went on and a pump was replaced, but then the original problem of brake failure and speeding up occurred causing accident. personal injuries occurred. this vehicle has nearly killed me on 4 different occasions because of this problem and nearly seriously hurt my daughter on the day of the accident. it was clearly equipment failure.*ak |
