“When driving at any speed and applying brakes vehicle shakes, and there is a grinding noise coming from the vehicle. Also,air bag light/ engine check light are on.”
NHTSA complaint #849193, filed 1999-09“This vehicle has been in for a engine check light 4 times in the past six months. Each time, the mechanics claimed a different cause for the codes in memory. The problem is, if it is the catalytic converter, which was replaced at 58481 miles, it is possible for it to cause a vehicle fire. The problem has not recurred again yet, but the last visit, nothing was changed to remedy any underlying problem. I think four times for a problem is a bit out of line, and would like an investigation into the problem since it occurred shortly after the warranty supposedly ended. …”
