Example complaints

“I was driving my vehicle home when the brake light and the vcs on and off light came on and an alarm type noise started,as I pulled into my parking space I found I had no brakes at all, including my emergency brake. I had to let my car hit the parking curb to stop it, and throw my car into park. Had this happened seconds before coming down the main road, I could have been killed, or killed someone else. I had the car towed to my mechanic who confirmed I had full brake fluid, but the actuator failed. I have to replace the entire ABS system. …”
