When traveling at 25-35 mp and depressing the brake pedal to make a gradual stop, the brakes started grabbing. Pedal traveled to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance, causing an accident. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Consumer has been to the doctor several times for leg, neck, and back strain because of this accident. *slc

July 1998 CrashInjury

I have had a problem with the ABS system on my car for a few months now. When I start my car the ABS goes to set itself and the ABS light comes on along with the brake light. As I have been researching the problem I have found that it is one of the main problems on the car, but nothing has been done about his problem. It is a very costly fix dealing with the wheel bearings and sensors. My 1998 oldsmobile intrigue is a very solid car, but I believe they have a faulty ABS system on them due to the hub assemblies.
