ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
My wife and I have owned this vehicle since 1996. We bought it used with 18,000 miles on it. I have always had trouble hearing noises and trouble with a soft brake pedal on this vehicle. When the car had about 40,000 miles on it, I had an incident where I applied the brakes going about 55 miles per hour to slow down to get on the expressway and both rear wheel cylinders blew out on me almost causing a severe accident. Since the vehicle turned over past 60,000 miles, I have had at least three incidents where accidents almost occurred due to the brake pedal going all the way to the floor on me and I was unable to stop. Twice this has happened after getting brand new brakes done all the way around, once at the dealer and once at a midas muffler shop. This is a very dangerous malfunction in the ABS system. I will contact the dealer tomorrow, since it just happened again. Dt
