No summary listed for above vehicle.
When applying ABS brakes pedal nearly goes to floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Vehicle not included in recall 99v139000. *ak
Driving 35mph & started to apply brakes. Was in 2- lane traffic & was making a left hand turn on green light. There was a metal expansion joint in the road and vehicle hit metal expansion joint which was wet due to rain. Vehicle started to slide. Abs detected a problem, but had no brakes to stop. Pedal did not go to the floor. Vehicle nearly hit an 18 wheeler ahead, but slid past onto shoulder & stopped.
When brakes were applied pedal became hard, resulting in extended stopping distance. Dealer repaired vehicle under a recall prior to the incident.
The wrong size vacuum line installed on actuator which caused the cruise control to not work properly.
Vehicle experiencing rear wheels lock up while traveling at 50 MPH; intermittently; when this occur, turn off engine for 1/2 hrs. Or more before restarting. Vehicle been in independence repairs shop and dealer shop and both are unable to duplicate the problem. Feel free to provide further detials:
99v193000/ABS: unable to get dealer to honor manufacturer's recall. First appointment was cancelled because of a bar code needed from manufacturer. Second appointment will not be available until 18th of september, 2000. Could the federal safety agency shed some light on this matter. Please feel free to provide any further details.
The ABS locked while my son was making a turn onto a leaf covered road area. The car skidded into a low granite wall, damaging the vehicle, but not injuring my son or the wall or any other vehicle.
Anti-lock brakes are very sluggish.
Recall 99i006000/ manufacturer's recall 99046; consumer is having a brake problem. Consumer had recall repairs done, and engine check light kept coming on. Dealer told consumer to drive it home because the computer needed to be reset. Consumer then found that there was a wire lying on the floor. Dealer forgot to reconnect it, and that caused engine check light to stay on. Dealers had to put back the old part for the brake module instead of the new part because consumer has to get the hydraulic brakes fixed before they could put new part in for the brake module . When the brakes were applied after leaving the dealer, they went straight to the floor & started doing a up& down motion before they finally stopped vehicle from rearending another vehicle.
Upon making a normal stop on wet pavement brake pedal traveled to the floorboard causing extended stopping distance, resulting in an accident. Consumer has contacted dealer, dealer has replaced parts. Please provide any further details.
Vehicle description: pickup trucks, crew cabs, utility trucks and sport utility vehicles. These vehicles were built with the polarity of the wiring for the zero adjust brake switch reversed from what was specified on the switch drawing. With the reversed polarity, the contacts in the brake switch can wear out prematurely. The brake switch will perform normally until the brake switch contacts wear out, resulting in loss of the brake lamps without any warning to the driver. This is the same problem I have with my vehicle. Plus, the cruise control will not shut-off becase the brake lights are not turned on when pushing down on the brake pedal.
When making only a right turn into a parking space ABS system activated followed by temporary brake failure. This problem occurred after the ABS computer system was replaced due to recall 99i006000.
Consumer was in accident while traveling about 30-MPH. Consumer applied brakes & hit another vehicle at 20mph.brakes locked up & couldn't press the brakes down.to stop. Consumer was not injured. Dealer was willing to look into the problem.
A vehicle experienced ABS failure related to recall (99i-006) resulting in the accident. Yh
When depressing the brakes vehicle still travels. Also, vibrates. Please provide further information.
Your campaign #'s 99v193000 & 99i006000 both list a problem with the ABS system that sound identical to the problem I have. Whenever I'm braking and I run over any slick surface (for instance: painted crosswalk that is wet from rain) or hit a bump in the road while braking my vehicle makes a loud grunting noise and I lose my brakes. I have called the manufacturer and the dealer and they both said your campaigns does not cover my vehicle, why not? My problem sounds exactley like the description you gave on this web site. In addition to this problem I have another, that may be related to the first problem. I have put new brakes on my vehicle and driven approx. 3-6000 mi. And returned to the brake shop complaining about the first problem only to find out that my brand new brakes are shot. Some how this vehicle eats brake pads. I beleive it to be related to the malfunctioning ABS system.
While driving vehicle would be missing/backfiring and blowing black smoke. Went to emission control inspection, and vehicle didn't pass. Also, fuel injection line in throttle body was a plastic line and it split. Filled up fuel injection system with gasoline. If there was a spark, vehicle would catch on fire. In addition, replaced catalytic converter/o2 sensor/ radiator cap/ brake rotors, and throttle body air valve. However, vehicle was still exhibiting the same problem. Contacted dealer .

Consumer was traveling about 35mph and there was a light at the bottom of the hill. Car in front of consumer didn't take the light seriously since it emphasized caution . Consumer applied brakes and the ABS brakes didn't kick in at all. Consumer hit vehicle in front.
When driving and upon making graudal stop, brake pedal traveled to the floorboard, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer noted that recall 99i006000 dealt with the same problem. But, parts would not be available until later this year. Please provide any further details.
At highway speeds egr valve goes out, causing loss of brake power. Dealer has repaired vehicle.
While depressing brakes vehicle would continue to travel also pulsates. Please provide further information.
On numerous occassions the anti-lock brakes have failed, failure has almost resulted in two accidents.
While driving about 20 MPH would step on the brake pedal to stop vehicle or reduce speed, but it will result in extended stopping distance.
Vehicle braking has seemed to be unpredictable. Abs will seem to take over when unnecessary under normal braking situations causing unexpected extended braking distance. We were informally told by several mechanics that that is just how ABS is so we assumed that it was just a poor design not covered by any warranties for the second owner so we did not pursue it further. In addition, we had a rough running condition that was diagnosed as the egr valve clogged with carbon deposits. The engine idled rough, had a strong odor and had intermittent brake failure (hard pedal) causing it to be very difficult to stop. We had the engine "motorvac'd" to clear carbon deposits and had the egr cleaned. It ran well for about a week then back to the same symtoms. We were told it would just ruin a new egr if we replaced it again so we have not determined what to do with it. Also the "check engine" light comes on and off throughout these episodes
