| Dt: the abs brakes failed on the vehicle. she purchased the vehicle used with 19,000 miles on it. after she purchased the vehicle she noticed a grinding noise with the brakes. she took the vehicle into the dealership and had the rotors replaced because they were warped. the vehicle continued to have the grinding sound, but because they would not supply her with a loaner vehicle she did not take it in. on may 31, 2005, she was going around 40-45 miles per hour and she tried to apply the brakes when the abs failed. she skid 75 feet on dry pavement. there was a police report taken and a ticket was issued, but she is fighting the ticket because it was due to the brakes failing. none of the airbags deployed. this caused the consumer to hit her head and she has post concussion syndrome with possible seizures and is out of work. she also had bruised ribs and a neck and shoulder injury, all on the left side. the doctor has put her on complete disability and she can not even drive a vehicle at this time. she is currently on seizure medication. the vehicle is in new jersey, she was coming home from memorial day weekend in atlantic city. the damage is all on the drivers side front. the vehicle is considered totaled. *ak | |||

| After driving car and leaving it parked for 2 days; when going to start it again, the horn didn't work properly (really weak!), and it wouldn't start until several attempts and giving it gas. also......the rear right side window defrost (wire harness that is soldered to window) popped off the window without reason. when repaired at dealership, the guy said it was the 3rd one he had fixed recently and it was always on the same side of the vehicle. this could cause window to fog up. also approximately jan of 2005 i went in to a dealership because a strange noise was coming from my rear left suspension/wheel. it made squealing/grinding noise when turning or over bumps. they couldn't find the problem......suggested to get rotor turned.....maybe it did help! *jb | |||

| Vehicle was purchased used with 18,455 miles on it. after vehicle was purchased we noticed a grinding noise with the brakes. we took the vehicle into the dealership and had the rotors replaced because they were warped. the vehicle continued to have the grinding sound, we brought the vehicle back to the dealership and again work was done on the brakes. we did not have opportunity to drive it much after as our daughter got into a car accident with this vehicle on oct 13, 2005, she was pulling out of the elementary school parking lot (no more than 5-10 mph) to go across the road to enter the high school and another vehicle hit her front corner passenger side (other vehicle was going approx 40-45 mph). the real issue is that both front airbags did not deploy until several minutes after the accident occurred...that is what caused the majority of the injuries to my children. *jb | |||
