Brakes have failed at six other times, the last being 10/22/99. I had to cross 4 lanes of traffic to avoid a collision. All the manufacturer and dealer want to do is tell me to buy another vehicle or that they can't fix it without it happening to them without admitting responsibility. They stated, "to take the brakes apart and look at them would be an admission of quilt".

On-going / intermittent problem; whenever brakes were applied the pedal went back and forth while trying to press down, causing vehicle to temporarily lose braking until the pulsation in pedal stopped. Also notice da loud grinding sound when this occurred dealer notifed and nothing could be found.
