While driving vehicle suddenly lost power and idled. Dealership serviced vehicle 5 times and replaced ignition coil, mass air flow sensor, and 2 other components. But the failure still recurred. Also, vehicle was serviced 3 times for brake failure. Brake pads and rotors were replaced twice. But grinding continued.

When applying brakes braking distance is not what it should be. Consumer rearended a vehicle while going about 10 mph, had applied brakes, ABS made noise, and vehicle continued to slide forward. Dealer told consumer she just needed to get used to ABS brakes. Please add additional information.

I was involved in a auto accident in which another car hit me in the front center of my car and their front right. My speed was 40 miles before brakes applied their speed was about 15. My air bags did not deploy but theirs did. Both fire and rescue personal voice concern about the non deployment of airbags with visual damage to vehicle.
