| Description of the problem | I was in a school zone picking up my daycare kids. As soon as i took off the parking brake and put the car in drive it showed the brake light on. Confused i checked everything and proceeded to drive home. As i reached the stop sign with a crossing guard escorting kids across i really had to push down on the brake and a loud crunching like metal to metal and shaking occurred. It scared the day lights out of me! I turned the corner pulled over to the side took a deep breath. I took the streets home and drove very slow praying that when i would come to a stop sign that my brakes would work. I get to my other stop to pick up my child from her bus stop. Coming to the stop still have all the grinding noise and praying it will stop. I turned off my car and waited for the bus. I wait for all the kids to cross and completely clear the area. I stared my car and what i couldn't believe everything was fine. I came home called my husband he called the dealer and i began to research. To my disbelief there are hundreds of complaints on this issue code:c1179 delta sensor and nothing is being done about it. Most people like myself purchase a large vehicle because we have multiple people to drive around, like my kids i watch ranging from 1-12yrs. This floors me! I was at a cross walk when this happened with kids crossing what if i couldn't stop i would of hit the kids!!!! What if i crashed i had three other kids that i watched in the car with me. It is disgusting to me that nothing is being done there is no recall on this!! To my fear something will fatally happen for you guys to do something. Please fix this problem before something really bad happens!!!. Oh and not to mention you have no warning when this occurs and when u turn off your car its like nothing ever happened. Come to find out it resets the code. I'm scared to drive my car because reading others it happens again! Recall!!! |
