This is interrogative. My wife joined an accident in progress (no. 3 of 3 vehicles) becasue she couldn't stop in time. She was at 35 MPH steady, said she had applied full braking. The nyer was pitched down when it contacted the bumper of a s-10 pickup truck. We have sheet metal damage to the hood, left fender and everything above the bumper line, including AC coil, radiator, fan, etc. She was uninjured. Neither air bag deployed. The system check at engine start has always been exactly as described in the operator's handbook. My question is, shouldn't the airbags have deployed? If they should have, why didn't they and how do I insure the system is operational before I return the car to service?

Abs light comes on intermittently. Pedal will start to pulsate when brakes are applied. Sometimes when headlights are turned on ABS system feels like it is being drained.. Dealer said there was no problem. Dealer did try to say that brakes were metal to metal vibration.

While traveling 55mph; steering was hard to control/ difficult to turn and very stiff. Rack & pinion was cause of problem. Also, vehicle not shifting into park. Transmission line leaked fluid. Coupling was causing a leak between rubber tubing which was inserted into metal tubing. In addition, fuel rail would also leak/ ABS brakes started to lock up when applied/ water pump was leaking water, and door strap needed to be replaced due to being opened & closing hard. Taking vehicle to dealer to correct major problems.
