1. Front brakes grind for the first 1-2 stops after sitting overnight or 1-2 hours. 2. Rattle or creaking sound in the drivers side window and b column, unresolved after 3 trys by the dealer to fix. Only present while driving on mildly coarse road surface.
The abs system seemed to "over reacted" during a panic stop situation, causing me to hit the car in front of me. It felt like the braking pressure was being significantly reduced even though I had my foot to the floor on the brake pedal. I feel that if the abs system had not engaged and backed off the brakes, I would have stopped in time. Also, only the passenger side airbag went off, even though I hit the car in front of me at less than 5 mph. It should not have gone off, but if it "thought" that it was a severe crash, why didn't my airbag go off? I would like for you to check the abs system to insure that this does not happen to anyone else. Please contact me ASAP to let me know if this is possible. Thank you.
