WE ARE CONTINUALLY RECEIVING LETTERS ABOUT NOT HAVING THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO LOANER AVAILABLE OR ARE UNDER A LONG LIST OF OTHER OWNERS WAITING, OR THE PARTS WILL TAKE A FEW DAYS. I TRIED CALLING THE NHTSA HOTLINE AND BOTH TIMES THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED AFTER PICKUP. THIS IS ALL VERY FRUSTRATING AND SCARY TO HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH A POTENTIAL FATAL DEFECT EVERYDAY AND AT LONG DISTANCES. THERE SHOULD BE AN ALTERNATIVE THROUGH RENTAL CAR BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS.

BREAK PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING. BREAKS WILL WORK BUT VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER EACH TIME WITH NO RESOLVE. ALL BREAK, TRACTION CONTROL, EMG BRAKES LIGHTS CAME ON DEALER SAID ITS A HYDROLIC CONTROL UNIT $1500.00. ANOTHER REPAIR STATION HOOKED IT UP AND IT CAME BACK WITH A B1342, OCCUPANT SYSTEM MODULE. I HAD JUST HAD THE AIR BAG FIXED DUE TO RECALL. I WAS TOLD THIS OCCUPANT MODULE WILL CONTROL/MALFUNCTION OTHER AREAS OF THE AUTO.

OUR ABS ACTIVATED ON ICE/SNOW. NOW, MUST PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO STOP.
