SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
CONSUMER STATED THAT ON TWO OCCASIONS, BRAKES HAVE FAILED THAT RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS, THEY HAVE FAILED ON OTHER OCCASIONS BUT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DEALER SAID NOTHING IS WRONG BUT NATURE OF ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM AND HE BLAMED IT ON WARPED ROTORS. THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT VIBRATE WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS, WHICH IS CUSTOMARY WITH WARPED ROTORS,. EACH TIME THEY WERE TESTING ABS AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT CONSUMERS PROBLEM OCCURS AT SLOW SPEED. *YD
