STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AS I WAS DESCENDING DOWN A HILL, TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH, AND TURNING A BEND, I NOTICED THAT MY POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AND THEN THAT MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AND THAT ONE OF MY INDICATOR LIGHTS WAS LIT ON MY DASHBOARD. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND TURNED THE KEY BACK ON AND IT STARTED. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS AROUND BECAUSE MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER WHO DID NOT EVEN WRITE MY CONCERN DOWN. I HAVE SINCE SENT THEM A FORMAL LETTER. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, BUT IT COULD BE DANGEROUS WHILE TRAVELING ON BUSY ROADS.*AK
