What owners wrote
I have had problems with the ABS system, power assisted brake system and the suspension for over a year. About a year ago the ABS light came on and stayed on. At this point my power assisted brake system was working fine. Then about a month later the brake light also came on and stayed and I had very tight braking as well as the air ride suspension system has failed and my car now sits pretty much on the tires. These problems were covered in recall #s (91v191000 & 96v099000) however my VIN was not covered.
While attempting to stop, the ABS system failed. There was no impact reported. Recall# 96v099000. The pump and motor was replaced. The problem recurred. The service dealer stated that the brake actuator piston seal assembly was not the problem.
