WHILE IN A PARKING SPOT CONSUMER PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AS IF IT WAS STICKING. IF TAPPED, IT WOULD RELEASE.

INTERMITTENTLY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WHICH MAY RESULT IN A CRASH. DEALER CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER REPAIRS, STEERING, BRAKES, AND TRACTION CONTROL WORK PROPERLY. *AK *ML

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHICH CONSUMER HAD THE RIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE FAILED TO YEILD WHILE COMING OFF FROM A SIDE ROAD. HAD A STOP SIGN TO STOP, BUT FAILED TO STOP. STRUCK CONSUMER'S VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. WAS WEARING SEAT BELT, BUT THE SHOULDER HARNESS DIDN'T SECURE DRIVER IN SEAT. HER HEAD STRUCK ON REARVIEW MIRROR. *AK

THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT BY AN 18-WHEELER TRUCK. THE MOST OBVIOUS PROBLEM IS THAT THE BUMPER IS SO ROUNDED THAT THE TRUCK'S FENDER RODE UP ON THE BUMPER AND DID MOST OF THE DAMAGE TO THE TRUNK/TAIL LIGHT AREA. I BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE ANYONE HAS LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM OF LARGE ROUNDED (PLASTIC) BUMPERS AND THEIR ABILITY TO ABSORB IMPACT. UNLESS HIT EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE, THE OTHER BUMPER WILL EITHER RIDE UP OR BELOW THE ROUNDED BUMPER CA
