SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS AND ONLY 43,000 MILES, WITH THE FIRST TIME BEING AT ONLY 8179 MILES! THE DEALERSHIP'S EXCUSE IS THAT "YOUR VEHICLE HAS SEMI-METALLIC BRAKE PADS WHICH WILL NOT LAST LONGER THAN 12,000 MILES" THIS IS BALONEY! NO VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE TO HAVE ITS BRAKES REPLACED ANNUALLY (OR MORE)!

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES IF VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS EVEN SLIGHT BUMB IN PAVEMENT BRAKES WILL RELEASE. BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING CAPABILITY FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL BRAKES RESET. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE PANIC BRAKING FOR THIS TO OCCUR. ON THIS OCCASION DRIVER IN FRONT MADE SUDDEN STOP. BRAKES APPLIED, HIT SLIGHT BUMP IN ROAD AND BRAKES RELEASED SO REAR-ENDED DRIVER. WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP IF BRAKES HAD NOT FAILED OR IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
THE BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MUSHY. I UNDERSTSAND THAT ABS WILL RESPOND DIFFERENTLY TO EMERGENCY BRAKEING THAN "NORMAL" BRAKES BUT THIS THING IS A REAL ADVENTURE TO DRIVE WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE PANIC STOPS.IT SEEMS TO RESIST YOUR FOOT THE HARDER YOU PUSH THE LESS BRAKING YOU FEEL.THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING MODULE WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED THE DISK BRAKE TO GRAB AND BOTH FRONT TIRES TO WEAR VERY BADLY. THE ELECTRIC WIPER CONTROL WENT OUT BECAUSET THE CONTROL BOX IS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND GOT WET. DAH! THE DRAG LINK BUSHING RUSTED OUT BECAUSE THE GREASE FITTING WAS APPARENTLY INACCESSABLE TO SERVICE AND NEVER GOT ANY GREASE. THE RADIATOR BEGAN LEAKING AT 90000 MLS. AT WHICH TIME I RAN A STOP LEAK PRODUCT IN IT WHICH STOPPED IT SO FAR. THE WATERPUMP WENT OUT AT 110,000 MLS AND THE ALTERNATOR AT 95000 MLS. BRAKES ARE BIGGEST CONCERN!!!!!

STEERING:LINKAGES:KNUCKLE:SPINDLE:ARM
STEERING WHEEL DID NOT MOVE TIRES AT ALL. THE CAR DRIFTED TO RIGHT AND WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO LEFT, NOTHING HAPPENED. STEERING WHEEL COULD BE SPUN WITHOUT AFFECTING TIRE MOVEMENT. DEALERSHIP THAT HAD REPLACED IDLER ARM STATED THEY COULD NOT TELL IF CAUSE OF WRECK WAS THEIR FAULT BUT WOULD FIX CAR AT THEIR COSTS. MY FEAR IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO OTHERS.
