SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PRESSURE FAILURE. ALL PRESSURE IN BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW VEHICLE TO STOP. I CHECKED MSN WEBSITE FOR USED CAR RESEARCH INFO AND IT STATED THAT FAILURE TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH ON 1991 ACURA LEGEND IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE IS TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE THEN ATTEMPTS TO STOP AND HAS NO PRESSURE IN THERE BRAKING SYSTEM SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR. I ALSO NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR ON THE MSN WEBSITE. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THAT PROBLEM WHICH I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR ON 08/04/2003. *PH
