Honolulu, HI
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS DRIVING INTO A BANK'S TELLER MACHINE LINE WHEN I NOTICED THAT TWO BRAKE PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN, I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES ALMOST COMPLETELY FAILED. I HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE CAR, WHICH TOOK ALL THE FOOT PRESSURE I COULD MUSTER. IN MARCH, 1999, I TOOK THE CAR INTO CUTTER DODGE WHEN THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT CVMAE ON AND THE BRAKE BECAME MUCH WEAKER. I PAID MORE THAN $431.00 PLUS TAX TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED THERE, WHICH INCLUDED REPLACING BRAKE ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY. NOW, 6 MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES FAILED MUCH MORE SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY. I FEEL EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS 1) ALONE IN THE VEHICLE, AND 2)DRIVING VERY SLOWLY. I WAS ABLE TO "CREEP" THE CAR TO CUTTER DODGE, 735 DILLINHAM BLVD, HONOLULU, HI (808) 842-6333, WHERE IT IS NOW. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR FREEWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, MANY PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. TO ME, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
