What owners wrote
I bought this vehicle in dec. 2001. I had problems with the ABS from the beginning. The dealer had certain part of the ABS replaced, but problems persisted. The ABS does not stop thew vehicle at low speeds( under 35MPH) and this has resulted in 2 crashes and vehicle damage. Dealer can not seem to repair problem.
Vehicle did not stop, applied emergency brakes, I was backing out of my driveway went to apply brakes peddle went to the floor, lucky there were no vehicle passing while backing up. After further investigation found that brake lines were rusted, had to get towed to mechanic for repair at a cost of $1,000. The vehicle only has 86,000 miles, the only part on the whole vehicle that is rusted are the brake lines, I hope that this can be rectified because this was an expensive repair and could of become deadly.
