CONSUMER TOOK CAR TO DEALER BECAUSE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER FUEL MODULE WAS LEAKING ONTO MOTOR. *AK

AS A RESULT OF BEING 'CUT OFF', MY VEHICLE SWERVED ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND ULTIMATELY STRUCK VIRTUALLY HEAD-ON A CONCRETE BARRIER DIVIDING THE N AND S BOUND LANES. I SUFFERED A RIGHT BROKEN WRIST (IN 3 PLACES), MY PASSENGER SUFFERED A CONCUSSION, MY GRANDSON A BROKEN LEG AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER ONLY EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. IT IS CLEARLY STATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL THAT THEY ARE DEPLOY WHEN CRASHING INTO SUCH A BARRIER AT BETWEEN 9-14 MPH.*AK

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION IN WHICH NEITHER DRIVER'S NOR PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.*AK

THE BRAKES, WHEN WET, IN THE RAIN, WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN A SAFE DISTANCE MUST LIFT BUTT OFF OF THE SEAT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE TO STOP WHEN WET, AND EVEN THEN ANTILOCKS WONT COME ON, BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH GRIP. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN BRAND NEW, AND CAUSE ME TO HIT A PARKING BLOCK AFTER WASHING MY CAR IN THE NEW 2001 YEAR. I DIDN'T NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM WAS THAT BAD WHEN WET UNTILL RAIN OF THE NEW YEAR PURSUED. THE BRAKES HAD ALWAYS BEEN STIFF (HARD TO USE). WHILE IT HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT NOW, THE BRAKES WHEN DRY ARE A LITTLE BETTER, PADS ARE HARDLY WORN AT ALL, AND WHEN WET STILL WILL NOT STOP THE CAR..AND EVEN VIBRATES (NOT ABS). *AK
