THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD KICK IN FOR NO REASON AND DIDN'T MATTER WHAT THE ROAD SURFACE WAS. THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL EXCESIVELY TO THE CROWN OF THE ROAD, IF YOU TOOK YOUR HANDS OFF THE STERRING WHEEL, YOU WOULD END UP IN A DITCH IN LESS THAN TWO SECONDS. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD WORK WHEN IT WANTED TO, SAME AS THE HORN. THE BRAKES WOULD PULSATE. IT WENT THROUGH ONE OF THE FRONT PADS EVERY TEN THOUSAND MILES; THE OTHER THREE PADSHAD OVER 50% LEFT. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT WAY TO EARLY FROM FIRST TO SECOND; CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ALOMOST QUIT ACCELERATING BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF POWER.
