While driving on the freeway, traffic stopped but our car did not. The brakes were applied correctly and we had space to stop but we did not and rearended the vehicle in front of us. The 2nd time this happened on a city street when the brakes were applied suddenly. The car just did not stop. Mechanics can find nothing wrong with the brakes. GM recalled suvs with this problem. Is there a recall pending for our vehicle? Or how do we get this fixed?
Going about 45MPH, when driver lost visibility & control of vehicle when something entered her eye. Vehicle hit guardrail (driver's side) & flipped over rail. Upon impact, air bags did not deploy. Vehicle continued down embankment. Windshield did not break, but cracked. Vehicle totaled.
While driving, the ABS light appeared on the dashboard. The consumer applied the brake pedal and it went to the floor, and the vehicle didn't stop. The dealer stated the electronic module needed to be replaced. It would cost $1000.
The car was sold to someone who rolls back odometers and flips the vehicles for a higher price. [link removed] [link removed] ## VIN passed ## chevy corsica 1995 ##
