Brake system failed on two occasions due to failure of the (1st failure) ABS valve and (2nd failure) master cylinder leakage. The systems are designed to engage if one unit fails, then other will engage, which did not happen. Mjs

Major "bottoming out" problem when car is carrying 4 adults. Vehicle actually bangs down onto pavement when rolling over the smallest speedbump or exiting driveway. Dealer notified & replaced front struts 9/16/1999. Have yet to "test" new parts. Airconditioner reeks of strong odor since 1st use. Reported to dealer who used a spray in the aircon but system still smells strongly. Have not reported ABS brake situation to dealer as this has occurred 3X. Have never had ABS brakes before & thought it was "normal." If stopping very suddenly, entire vehicle shudders and vibrates. Has not happened recently as a short-stopping situation has not arisen. Do not know if brake/vehicle shudder is normal?

- Webster, MA, USA

On 5/29/99, I applied the anti-lock brakes to avoid a collision with a vehicle that cut me off on a highway. Immediately, the car swerved across the highway violently and spun in 360 turns twice before being hit by two cars and crashing into a jersey barrier. Not only did the anti-lock brakes fail, but the steering locked up and none of the airbags (front or side) deployed. The car was totaled. My fiancee and I sustained minor injuries. A driver of another car hit us and crashed into the jersey barrier, sustaining significant injuries.
