SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STEERING
ON 5/29/99, I APPLIED THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE THAT CUT ME OFF ON A HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY, THE CAR SWERVED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY VIOLENTLY AND SPUN IN 360 TURNS TWICE BEFORE BEING HIT BY TWO CARS AND CRASHING INTO A JERSEY BARRIER. NOT ONLY DID THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES FAIL, BUT THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS (FRONT OR SIDE) DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. MY FIANCEE AND I SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. A DRIVER OF ANOTHER CAR HIT US AND CRASHED INTO THE JERSEY BARRIER, SUSTAINING SIGNIFICANT INJURIES.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AFTER A HEADGASKET REPAIR @ GRESHAM TOYOTA WHEN THE VEHICLE AC IS TURNED ON ENGINE SPEED INCREASES 500 RPMS EACH TIME THE AC PUMP CYCLES ON , MOSTLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, INTERMITENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AT A STOP THE VEHICLE CAN LURCH FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING POSING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION. ALSO BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATING ENGINE SPEED (EVERY 30 SECONDS AT STOP & EVERY 10 SECONDS WHILE IN MOTION ) IT IS CAUSING UN-NECESSARY WEAR & TEAR ON OTHER VEHICEL COMPONANTS IE. BRAKES,TRANSMISION AC COMPRESSOR COOLING FANS (RADIATOR) ETC.

CHILD SEAT
THE EXTENDABLE FOOT USED TO ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE CENTURY SMART FIT PLUS INFANT SEAT HAS BROKEN DURING NORMAL USE/INSTALLATION. THE PLASTIC GUIDES ALONG WHICH THE FOOT MOVES UP AND DOWN HAVE BEEN BENT TOWARD THE REAR OF THE INFANT SEAT BASE, ALLOWING THE FOOT TO COLLAPSE AND LETTING THE SEAT-BASE COMBO SETTLE TO AN IMPROPER ANGLE. IT APPEARS THAT THE ACT OF TIGHTENING THE SEAT BELTS ACROSS THE BASE EXERTED ENOUGH PRESSURE TO BEND THE GUIDES. THE PRDUCT WAS A CENTURY SMART FIT PLUS, SER. #4529, MANUFACTURED 4-21-98. THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY, AND IS REPORTED HERE BY, OFFICER MARK BERGIN, ALEXANDRIA VA POLICE DEPARTMENT CHILD SEAT SAFETY CORDINATOR, 703-838-4763
