VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AT MAJOR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP, THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THRU TWO (2) SOUTH BOUND TRAFFIC LANES, THEN ACROSS A PAVED DIVIDER (ABOUT EQUIVALENT TO TWO HIGHWAY LANES), THEN ACROSS ANOTHER TWO (2)TRAFFIC LANES AND ONTO THE GRASSY SHOULDER OF THE NORTHBOUND LANES WHERE THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER ONE TIME AND CAME TO REST ON IT'S ROOF. THE VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IF IT WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN AT ALL. THE ROADWAY WAS DRY BUT HAD SOME GRAVEL AND SAND SPILL ON IT. THANK GOD FOR SEAT BELTS! THIS VEHICLE HAD A BRAKE PROBLEM AT 756 MILES (ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING) DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AT 2933 MILES. SINCE VEH COULD NOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY DEALER HAD TO SEND TRUCK & TOW VEHICLE 30 MILES TO SHOP WHERE ABS VALVE ASSY NEEDED REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. ANOTHER BRAKE PROBLEM (LEAKING FLUID AT TOP OF ABS MODULE) WAS REPORTED TO DEALER AND REPAIRED AT 7077 MILES.

THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE AND RESULTS IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ENGINE OIL AND AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. EACH TIME IT HAPPENS IT IS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD MY FAMILY AND I NARROWLY ESCAPE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WOULD IMAGINE NUMBEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM PROBABLY RESULTING IN ENGINE FREEZE-UP AND MORE POTENTIAL DAMAGE NOT TO METION OIL SLICKS ON THE ROADWAYS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
IN JUNE OF 1999, WHILE IN TEXAS, THE BATTERY EXPLODED/LEAKED WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE. THE ACID WENT EVERYWHERE IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CORRODED SOME CABLES AND HOSES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT EVERYTHING LOOKED ALRIGHT, BUT I CAN'T TELL IF IT IS. TODAY I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLES FOR 1995 TO 1997 MODEL YEARS WITH A BATTERY LEAKAGE/BREAK SAFETY PROBLEM. DO I NEED TO BE CONCERNED WITH THIS. CAN YOU LET ME KNOW ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THANK YOU, MARK ODEN. *AK
