Faulty brakes-in Dec,2002, had to hit brakes when vehicle pulled in front of me. I immediately lost control of vehicle-no steering- and car spun several times. Appeared brakes locked up even though I have ABS system. 2/2003-same thing. Was couple lengths behind vehicle when car in front suddenly pulled to left lane because a veh had almost stopped in road. When I pushed on brakes, they again locked up with no steering control causing me to hit vehicle in front of me even though I was trying to steer vehicle off into emer lane. Was going about 55 and air bags did not even deploy. Had problems with brakes/tires squeaking in 12/2001 & took in for repair. Was told it was a transmission problem & was repaired under warranty but car still clicked during turns.

Brakes make a high-pitched squeaking sound when I brake. The car requires alot of braking time & distance to stop - it doesn't stop quickly. The car has died on 4 occasions. Three times were at red lights, the fourth I was going about 35 miles an hour. I notifed the nearest dealer (in norco California). The manager of the repair shop had me bring the car in (an hour drive) & then said he was too busy to look at my car when I arrived. I asked if I could leave it & take a replacement or rental car until he had time to inspect the car. He said no, I should just bring it back another day.

While driving could step on the brakes pedal and noticed a lack of braking. Had taken vehicle four times to dealer for brakes pads to be replaced, but problem still occurs.

Braking system malfunctioned, causing calipers to break which caused extended stopping distance, and may result in a crash.
