While driving the ABS light comes on followed by the traction light. This has happend 5 times and all the time the computer acording to the dealer does not leave any codes. This last time all four wheels locked followed with stering wheel locking with all panel lights illuminating. Wife spined out of control and stoped at the medium at a major highway. Dealer was informed, they gave wife a hard time until I talked to them and requested that vehicle be picked up at my wifes work. Just the week before the vehicle was at the dealer for the illumination of the ABS and tracking lights. Again dealer notified us that there were no codes in the computer. I informed the dealer that if the wife was to have an accident because of brake failure or system failure that I would make it my sole purpose in life to sue them. This week it happend. Lucky enough that she did not turned over and no one was hurt. On 8 Dec 98 I notified the dealer that we would not drive this vehicle again until they find the problem.

1. rear seat belt sometimes locks and won't pull out 2. anti-lock brakes make loud ratcheting noise and temporarily activate upon starting car, causing what feels like a temporary lack of braking - dealer has not attempted to fix saying it is normal. 3. intermediate steering shaft has failed twice causing noticible "clunking" noise - dealer has replaced twice under warranty, who will pay the next time? 4. left rear window sometimes fails to operate.

Car is leased by my wife. We have both had identical incidents, independendtly. Both times, upon backing from complete stop down drives with some leaf cover, application of brakes resulted in absolutely no braking power, despite pressing very hard on pedal. Car moved six to eight feet before brakes applied. Very frightening. Have noted similar problems in your file, which is the reason search was initiated. Someone standing behind car would have been run over, no question. Will be contacting dealer; wife had the second incident today (first time I was driving and warned her about it- really spooked me). This was not an incident of our feet jumping off a vibrating anti-lock pedal; no vibration was sensed at all. Sensation was exactly like sliding on glare ice (I.e. no brake power at all.) also, we were backing slowly, foot on brake with light application when this happened. If all ABS systems work like this, there would have been countless disasters and no ABS at all by now! thank you for considering this I
