THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SENSOR ACTIVATES THE ABS SYSTEM AT LOW SPEEDS NEARLY EVERY TIME WE TRY TO STOP REQUIRING A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE THAN NORMAL. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS, BUT SO FAR NO ACCIDENTS. *NM

THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE TWO FONT BRAKE SENSORS. MR AFTER THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKES WOULD SOMEHOW RELEASE THE TRUNK AND WOULD CONTINUE TO GO. THE CONSUMER HAS REQUESTED INFORMATION ABOUT THE FAULTY ELECTRICAL WIRING IN THE SEATS. SCC *NLM
