SEVERE PULSATION IN STEERING COLUMN WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, ESPECIALLY ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. FRONT PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED PER BULLETIN. 10,000 MILES LATER, THE SAME VIBRATION OCCURS IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN BRAKING. I SUSPECT THE PADS AND ROTORS ARE WORN AGAIN.

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 12/3/01. I CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF A FORD RANGER. THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS GREATLY DESTROYED. I WAS NOT INJURED, I HAD MY SEATBELT ON. HOWEVER THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM STILL WAITING ON A FIGURE FOR THE EXACT COST OF REPAIR. THE IMPACT WAS STRONG. THE POLICE OFFICER AT THE SCENE SAID HE WAS CONCERNED THAT THE BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK
