What owners wrote
In late november 2002 while driving the ABS brake failed which resulted in an accident. When the brakes were applied the vehicle slowed down but never stopped. Prior to the accident in feb 2002, the ABS sensor went out. And repairs were made to the ABS system in aug 2002.
I have a three year lease. Two years into the lease I have had to replace all four tires and now the brakes. The rear brakes froze up. The capliers, rotors, and pabs need to be replaced on the rear and the rotors on the front. I have never had to do this with a car before.
