SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
MY CAR WILL STOP RUNNING WHEN I BRAKE. THIS STARTED IN OCT 2001 AND HAS DONE THIS 6 TIMES, TODAY IT FINALLY DID IT WITH MY HUSBAND IN THE CAR. I HAVE THE RADIO/CD ON AND AM USUALLY DRIVING AT 45-50 MPH WHEN I HAVE TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND MY CAR QUITS. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE ENTIRE CAR I TRY TO GET IT OFF OF THE ROAD THEN I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND IT RUNS FINE. NOW THAT MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM I AM CALLING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE THEM DO SOMETHING.*AK

54,697 MILES, THROTTLE STICKING. 62000 MILES, ENGINE MISFIRING, SPARK PLUGS REPLACED. 63K MILES, SERPINTINE BELT BROKE. 68,560 MILES, SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. INPUT SPEED SENSOR INSIDE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. INTERNAL HARNESS FOUND TO BE LEAKING FLUID PAST TERMINALS TO OUTSIDE OF TRANSMISSION WHICH IN TURN CAUSED SATURATION OF EXTERNAL HARNESS ALSO. AIR CONDITIONING ALSO NOT WORKING. AT 69,356 MILES THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE STEERING WHEEL COLOMN BROKE. THE TOW TRUCK MAN TRIED TO TURN THE WHEELS WHEN THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE BECAUSE OF THE ALTENATOR GOING OUT. THE ALTENATOR DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE BEFORE LOSING ALL POWER. THE TOW TRUCK MAN DID NOT PUT EXCESSIVE FORCE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FLOPPING AROUND LOOSE. A PIN HAD COME LOOSE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER SAID IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE SOLD THE CAR.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 75 MPH IN WYOMING, THE CAR BEGAN AN GRADUAL INCREASE IN SPEED - THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT TOUCHED. TOUCHING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES DID NOT STOP THE SPEED INCREASE. TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH DID NOT STOP THE INCREASE. AFTER HAD BREAKING AND AFTER REACHING A SPEED OF 90 MPH, THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION FINALLY STOPPED. AFTER THAT WE DID NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF WYOMING WITH NO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, IF WE HAD BEEN IN CITY TRAFFIC WE WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE CRASHED INTO SOMEONE.*AK
