What owners say
The brakes are generally defecttive. I have been in several emergency and non-emergency situations where the brakes have not performed satisfactorily. On one occasion, I nearly lost control on the freeway. On another, on a wet street at low speed, I partially entered an intersection through a red light because the brakes would keep releasing. With respect to the accident noted above, I was on a freeway access road going about 45mph when traffic unexpectedly came to a halt, and I, along with most of the other drivers, had to jump on the brakes hard. I was braking well and stopping short of the vehicle in front of me, but when the brake pedal pressure increased to the point of engaging the anti-lock system, the brakes actually released causing me to lunge forward into the vehicle in front of me. Although many cars were scrambling to stop, mine was the only accident. I am an experienced driver and I consider myself a good and safe driver. I did not release the brakes--I know how anti-locks work and I know how to use them. My other car has anti-lock brakes, so I also know what it's like to have anti-lock brakes that work well. I raised hell at the dealership and had the service manager and their head brake guru test the brakes. They claimed they were fine and working properly. They are wrong. I recently read that the ntsb has an open long-term investigation into these brakes, so I thought I would put in my two cents to help you. I bought a defective product as far as I'm concerned. I've lost money on collision repairs and insurance. I'm at risk every day and I know it. I'm at your disposal should you have any questions or need further information. Thanks.
