Anti-lock brakes. Numerous issues. Brake linings on the rear drums have a very short service life. Replaced drums and linings in July of 2002. Drums and linings required replacement again in may of 2003 (approx. 20,000 miles) front pads were replaced in July of 2002 and still have 1/2 of linings left. On bumpy roads, brake system fades in and out. On wet roads, brakes may or may not work reliably. From researching your site, these are not uncommon occurrences. When will this be addressed?
