What owners say
When applying the brakes the pedal pumps back and the ABS light comes on. I've been told that the ABS accumulator has exploded and it is a common problem seen with this car.
Abs was heard and felt to make clicking sounds - brake pedal went soft - brakes and ABS lights turned on. Brakes were fine afterwards but the experience repeated a few times before it could be checked out. Computer reading indicated dtc 38 (left front emb will not hold motor). After 5 days when able to get into dealership the dash lights finally went out and dealer unable to find a system failure. One year later (june 7-2000) same experience with car. Will see if dash lights reset in a few days. Brakes work fine except for that moment soon after startup and leaving house area.
While driving applied the brakes and the pedal gets soft and than goes to the floor. Will hear a click like the ABS trying to kick in.
Abs brakes failed three times, once resulting in an accident/injuries.
Poor ABS performance, in stop and go situations at speeds below 10 MPH, the pedal goes to the floor, then it becomes hard and the vehicle stops.
