What owners wrote
Dt: the contact experienced a problem with the anti lock brakes including extended stopping distance. This failure resulted in a rear end accident at a red light when the brakes completely failed. She took the vehicle to a dealer, who could not duplicate the problem. She took the vehicle to an independent repair shop that discovered there was an incorrect alignment of the brake system. After the dealer installed a new brake system there have been no further problems.
While moving the car in the driveway I heard some loud banging noises. I stopped and looked in the driveway and found brake parts laying in the driveway from this car. Was towed to dealer.
