On at least 5 occasions consumer experienced brake failure. When applying the brakes at low speeds(5-15 mph)a sensation was felted similar to ther eaction of the anti-lock brake pulse but very little braking power resulting in substantial brake travel. Dealer said this was caused by an inadequate after market brake jon.

Turned left at a low rate of speed into an angled parking space in a parking lot; as the vehicle came to a near stop the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the car lurched forward, striking another parked car. I clearly remember the brake pedal being depressed completely to the floor at impact. I put the car in park and then in reverse to back up - the brakes seemed to work at that point.

On 2/5/99 I was traveling on interstate 85 in richmond when I tried to move my steering wheel, and the wheel would not move. We were heading toward a railing and I tried to use the brake to stop the car, and the brake pedal was on the floor and the car still would not stop. My son and I were almost killed because of the steering wheel locking and the brakes not working at all!
