SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE FACTORY HEADLIGHTS ARE SUBSTANDARD AT BEST AND DANGEROUS IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS, SUCH AS POORLY LIT STREETS.THE BRAKE ROTORS FRONT AND REAR ARE FAILING ON MY CAR AND MANY OTHERS CARS AT AN ALARMING RATE. I'VE CHANGED BRAKE PADS BEFORE IN AS LITTLE AS 5000 MILES, NEVER HAVE I HAD TO REPLACE A ROTOR AT 3000 MILES. 3000 MILES IS AN INTERVAL FOR ENGINE SERVICE...NOT BRAKES, BRAKES SHOULD LAST 10,000 MILES EASY. MY ROTORS WERE WARPED IN 3000 MILES FROM THE PURCHASE. THIS IS CAUSEING BRAKE AND CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR.*AK

#738078December 20, 2000
UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
GAS GAUGE AND ELECTRONIC MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAY ERRONEOUS FUEL INFORMATION THAT RESULTS IN AN UNPREDICTABLE OUT-OF-GAS CONDITION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND STALLS WITH NO POWER FOR ACCELERATION AND IMPAIRED BRAKING AND STEERING. THIS UNEXPECTED OUT-OF-GAS CONDITION DUE TO ERRONEOUS DASHBOARD INDICATORS PLACES THE VEHICLE, DRIVER, AND OCCUPANTS IN JEOPARDY OF POTENTIAL PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO TSBS BC2303970501/ITEM SB052799 AND BC105799705/ITEM SB052859. MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON DEC 15, 2000 AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON RTE 64 AT THE RTE 295 INTERCHANGE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE REPORTING 1/4 TANK OF FUEL WHEN THE OUT-OF-GAS CONDITION UNEXPECTEDLY OCCURRED CREATING A DANGEROUS LANE CHANGING CONDITION WITH NO VEHICLE POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO REACH THE SHOULDER. THE BROWN'S FAIRFAX VA DEALERSHIP HAS MADE SEVERAL UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO SERVICE THE PROBLEM AND HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE NHTSA TSBS ON THE FUEL PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP MISREPRESENTED THE SERVICE AS CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT NOT PROPERLY REPAIRED.
