“Brake system failed multiple times-ABS system repeatedly and disc brakes seem to have no hydraulics-pedal hard as a rock. Abs sensor comes on intermittantly even when no obvious problem w/ABS, yet ABS fails often-especially under heavy braking. Electrical: car would die while in operation yet alternator tests fine. Car would not start after sitting-sometimes hours-sometimes days. Car seems to have elec drain from unknown source. Car been to four different service centers w/ over $3k spent. Car been undriveable for over 18 months. …”
