Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had a problem with the anti-lock brake system virtually since i purchased the car in nov 2003. when i brake on a bumpy or wet road, or when i have to brake hard to stop in an emergency, the car rattles and make s grinding sound. it also take extra long to slow the vehicle much less stop. the last time i had this problem i was driving in traffic and a van several vehicles in front of me stopped to make an illegal u-turn. i tend to keep a greater distance between my car and the car in front of me due to the brake issue. regardless, the road i was on has a few bumps. at the point of attempting to stop and avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me the brakes went into anti-lock and didn't stop my car before i hit the car. i have already change the brake two other times and had rotors replaced one. i will be needing new brakes and rotors within the next 5-10k miles. four sets of brakes in less than 70k miles screams that there is a problem beside the vehicle not stopping, or slowing significantly in an emergency. *jb
