CONDITIONS WERE SNOW AND ICE. BOTH TIMES I HAD RECENTLY SWITCHED BETWEEN 2WD & 4WD. I DON'T RECALL WHICH POSITION DRIVE WAS IN. BOTH TIMES DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL PRODUCED VERY LITTLE BRAKING EFFECT, WITH ONE TIME MY CAR WENT THRU A BUSY INTERSECTION (I THOUGHT I WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE ACCIDENT).

#710544August 26, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE BRAKES ARE GENERALLY DEFECTTIVE. I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL EMERGENCY AND NON-EMERGENCY SITUATIONS WHERE THE BRAKES HAVE NOT PERFORMED SATISFACTORILY. ON ONE OCCASION, I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY. ON ANOTHER, ON A WET STREET AT LOW SPEED, I PARTIALLY ENTERED AN INTERSECTION THROUGH A RED LIGHT BECAUSE THE BRAKES WOULD KEEP RELEASING. WITH RESPECT TO THE ACCIDENT NOTED ABOVE, I WAS ON A FREEWAY ACCESS ROAD GOING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN TRAFFIC UNEXPECTEDLY CAME TO A HALT, AND I, ALONG WITH MOST OF THE OTHER DRIVERS, HAD TO JUMP ON THE BRAKES HARD. I WAS BRAKING WELL AND STOPPING SHORT OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE INCREASED TO THE POINT OF ENGAGING THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM, THE BRAKES ACTUALLY RELEASED CAUSING ME TO LUNGE FORWARD INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ALTHOUGH MANY CARS WERE SCRAMBLING TO STOP, MINE WAS THE ONLY ACCIDENT. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND I CONSIDER MYSELF A GOOD AND SAFE DRIVER. I DID NOT RELEASE THE BRAKES--I KNOW HOW ANTI-LOCKS WORK AND I KNOW HOW TO USE THEM. MY OTHER CAR HAS ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, SO I ALSO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES THAT WORK WELL. I RAISED HELL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER AND THEIR HEAD BRAKE GURU TEST THE BRAKES. THEY CLAIMED THEY WERE FINE AND WORKING PROPERLY. THEY ARE WRONG. I RECENTLY READ THAT THE NTSB HAS AN OPEN LONG-TERM INVESTIGATION INTO THESE BRAKES, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD PUT IN MY TWO CENTS TO HELP YOU. I BOUGHT A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. I'VE LOST MONEY ON COLLISION REPAIRS AND INSURANCE. I'M AT RISK EVERY DAY AND I KNOW IT. I'M AT YOUR DISPOSAL SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER INFORMATION. THANKS.
