What owners say
When the brakes were applied, the ABS light illuminated on the dashboard.
This has been an ongoing problem since I purchased the vechicle. I took the car back to the dealer and was ttold they "lubed the rotors". The ABS light has been coming on and off recently. Today I went to stop and the brakes kept going I had to put on the emergency brake.
Abs system is working intermittently and keeps failing. Consumer had the brake rotors and t brake drums replaced four times because the brake drums and the brake rotors kept wearing out.
When driving on wet roads on a decline the vehicle does not stop when brakes are applied. Abs brakes lock up. Dealer cant find the problem. *ak
No deployment of driver's air bag during a collision, resulting in injuries. Also, ABS brakes failed to stop vehicle, lost control and crashed into a ditch.
When applying the ABS brakes, the pedal went to the floor board and caused vehicle to hit another vehicle in the rear; also, the driver's side air bag deployed and caused burns and injuries to the driver. *ak
