What owners wrote

My car was totaled after being involved in an automotive accident on october 29, 2000. As I exited sr - 869 at atlantic blvd I applied my brakes and they failed . This failure caused my veh to crash into another veh and that veh hit the veh in front of it. The driver of veh 2 sustained injuries and was taken to a hospital. I did not understand why my brakes failed on that night until I received a recall notice on this vehicle and subsequent models also.

October 2000 CrashInjury

Unfortunately I ran into a driver whom was in front of me due to low visibility & bad brakes. My headlights are extremely dull & foggy. Also, whomever own the car before me had the brake vacuum replaced due to recall & ever since I've purchased the car there's been a brake problem. Such as needing a new master cylinder, new propositioning, new brake shoes, and wheel cylinder. I have receipts of all work completed. I have a one year old whom ride along and I'm highly concerned about his safety.
