| Air Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problems |
My wife was driving to work on the garden state parkway(NJ) about 9:15 a. M. On Jan 12, 2007, the car began to pull to the right and she tapped the brake, and attempted to correct the problem . At this point the car began swerving and she lost control of the vehicle. The car rolled over twice and came to a stop upside down. She was able to crawl out of the vehicle. I recently recieved a vehicle report from the insurance CO. That stated the car is being recalled (NHTSA 06v493000)and said vehicle is subject to a failure of the abs computer software that may cause the rear brakes to lock up during certain braking conditions and cause a crash without warning!!!!! while my wife was extremely lucky not to have been killed as a result of this malfunction, she is quite distraught over the incident and would like to know what steps to take at this juncture. Her vehicle is a total loss, and she is very nervous about driving. This was her first new car and the dealer touted the safety of the vehicle, which greatly influenced her purchase. Had we been made aware of the potential danger inherent of this vehicle, I am sure we would have made another choice.
