problem #1

Jan 272004

(reported on)

Ascender 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,733 miles
The brake pedal went to the floor at a rapid pace when slowing down. This resulted in the vehicle not slowing down immediately. The ABS warning light came on. The dealership replaced the ABS module. The consumer had an accident after being told by the dealer that the brakes worked normally. The brakes would go to the floor and there was a humming sound when the vehicle was turned off.
