The braking system has been a problem every since I bought the car. It makes a lot of noise. Sometimes grinds and vibrate. I have had it to the dealer 4 times for this problem. They have done work to them once. They tell me every is to code. On Friday october22, 1999 they failed on me. Dealer says because the can not duplicate the problem they can not fix it. They cant find anything. The vehicle is not safe.
