Example complaints

“Anti-lock brake pressure failure. All pressure in braking system failed during normal driving conditions. Had to pump brakes several times and apply emergency brake to slow vehicle to stop. I checked msn website for used car research info and it stated that failure to anti-lock brake pressure switch on 1991 Acura Legend is a common problem on this vehicle. I believe this is a very dangerous problem. If someone is too close to another vehicle then attempts to stop and has no pressure in there braking system serious injury could occur. …”
