Faulty brakes-in Dec,2002, had to hit brakes when vehicle pulled in front of me. I immediately lost control of vehicle-no steering- and car spun several times. Appeared brakes locked up even though I have ABS system. 2/2003-same thing. Was couple lengths behind vehicle when car in front suddenly pulled to left lane because a veh had almost stopped in road. When I pushed on brakes, they again locked up with no steering control causing me to hit vehicle in front of me even though I was trying to steer vehicle off into emer lane. Was going about 55 and air bags did not even deploy. Had problems with brakes/tires squeaking in 12/2001 & took in for repair. Was told it was a transmission problem & was repaired under warranty but car still clicked during turns.
