What owners wrote

This request is being submitted following a fatal accident that occurred this past summer involving a 1999 rodeo. The circumstances surrounding the accident are suspicious as the driver appeared to be unable to stop his car and traveled across an entire median of an interstate, hit another car head-on and burst into flames upon impact. The driver of the rodeo was my daughter's father and his cause of death was due to thermal burns. He was trapped in the car and burned to death.

July 2001 CrashFireInjuryDeath

In december 2002, I had the ABS module replaced due to the unit 'being fried' according to the mechanic. One year later, the ABS warning light illuminated and there is sporatic braking slippage especially braking down hill. Unfortunately, the dealer indicated that there is a $100 diagnostic test that needs to be done to identify the problem before looking at anything. After diagnostic test, the dealer states there is a problem with the rear sensor (another $160 to fix).
