ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Driving in residential area, about 25 MPH. Applied brakes, and pedal went all the way to the floor with little of no back pressure. I had just used brakes at a stop sign just minutes before, no indication of any problem. No warnings, lights, buzzers, nothing, just a sudden total loss of brakes, front and rear. Upon investigating, found all brake lines on rear of vehicle crumbling with rust. I removed one piece, it broke completely in two different places while taking it out. Fuel lines appear to be in like condition. Vehicle was purchased used. After I turned off the engine off, then restarted it, the brake warning lights, and ABS lights illuminated. This could have had catastrophic results had it happened on the open road. Why no previous warnings to a brake problem?

Parking brake: conventional
- What is wrong
- The parking brake control self-adjust pawl does not line up properly with the self-adjust rachet causing the pawl to slip over one or more teeth in the rachet.
- Risk
- When the above occurs, it can result in parking brake system ineffectiveness. The parking brake will not hold the vehicle, causing the vehicle to roll freely, if the transmission is not left in gear.
- Remedy
- A wedge will be installed which will serve to lock the parking brake self-adjust mechanism pawl into engagement with the rachet. Also, owners will be advised to release and reapply the parking brake whenever tooth skip occurs and will be reminded to always turn off the engine and leave the vehicle in gear when the vehicle is parked.
