Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had problems with the abs system, power assisted brake system and the suspension for over a year. about a year ago the abs light came on and stayed on. at this point my power assisted brake system was working fine. then about a month later the brake light also came on and stayed and i had very tight braking as well as the air ride suspension system has failed and my car now sits pretty much on the tires. these problems were covered in recall #s (91v191000 & 96v099000) however my vin was not covered. i filed a complaint with the nhtsa on 9-15-06 and asked that my vin # be added to the recalls but received no assistance. {odi id #10169824 & 10029413}.. i waited and waited but no response. since then, i moved to a house about 15 miles away on 1-16-2007 and had to move the car as well. while doing so, i came to a light and the little, tough braking system i had turned to no braking system and i kept going into the traffic at 35 mph and was hit by oncoming traffic. the impact jerked me around and caused some bodily harm. i feel that if this would have been taken seriously the first time i reported it, the accident wouldn't have happened. i am furious and would like my vin added seeing as how this is the exact problem as the vehicles in the recall. *jb
