THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IT HAS BEEN IN TWICE TO BE SERVICED. WE STATED THAT THE BRAKES DIDN'T FUNCTION CORRECTLY AND THE PEDAL WAS SPONGY AND WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE 1ST TIME THEY CHANGED THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE SECOND TIME SHE WENT IN WITH SAME COMPLAINT AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD HER THE BRAKES WERE WORKING FINE. THIS FINALLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE SHE WENT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION/RED LIGHT AND HIT ANOTHER CAR, AND HER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. *TR
