The ABS brakes failed on the vehicle. She purchased the vehicle used with 19,000 miles on it. After she purchased the vehicle she noticed a grinding noise with the brakes. She took the vehicle into the dealership and had the rotors replaced because they were warped. The vehicle continued to have the grinding sound, but because they would not supply her with a loaner vehicle she did not take it in. On May 31, 2005, she was going around 40-45 miles per hour and she tried to apply the brakes when the ABS failed. She skid 75 feet on dry pavement. There was a police report taken and a ticket was issued, but she is fighting the ticket because it was due to the brakes failing. None of the airbags deployed. This caused the consumer to hit her head and she has post concussion syndrome with possible seizures and is out of work. She also had bruised ribs and a neck and shoulder injury, all on the left side. The doctor has put her on complete disability and she can not even drive a vehicle at this time. She is currently on seizure medication. The vehicle is in New Jersey, she was coming home from memorial day weekend in atlantic city. The damage is all on the drivers side front. The vehicle is considered totaled.
