What owners wrote
Traveling at 35 - 40 MPH and cars came to a stop and no matter how hard I pushed the brakes, the car would not stop. Steering wheel and under steering wheel airbags deployed, burning my shin. Upon starting the car at the body shop, the dashboard caught on fire due to the airbag modular. Fire destroyed my vehicle.
ABS warning light has been on for over a year. It comes on within 3 minutes of driving, which disengages my anti-lock brakes. Mechanic advised I get my ABS sensors replaced, but it's both very expensive and was told that it will probably happen again in no time since this is a recurring issue with pacificas. This model must be recalled since the integrity of my braking system is compromised and puts myself and the safety of my family at risk.
