| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving into a bank's teller machine line when i noticed that two brake problem indicator lights came on the dashboard. then, i noticed that my brakes almost completely failed. i had to shift to neutral to stop the car, which took all the foot pressure i could muster. in march, 1999, i took the car into cutter dodge when the brake indicator light cvmae on and the brake became much weaker. i paid more than $431.00 plus tax to have the brakes repaired there, which included replacing brake accumulator assembly. now, 6 months later, the brakes failed much more suddenly and completely. i feel extremely lucky that i was 1) alone in the vehicle, and 2)driving very slowly. i was able to "creep" the car to cutter dodge, 735 dillinham blvd, honolulu, hi (808) 842-6333, where it is now. if i had been driving on a highway or freeway with my family in the car, many people could have been injured or killed. to me, this is an extremely unsafe and dangerous problem. |
