| Description of the problem | Mechanic put new brakes on all four wheels. When done the : maintenance vsc message; traction control; abs; and brake lights came on. Three other mechanics looked at it and concluded that the accumulator was not working property. I was able to confirm this diagnostic through many exact same complaints on your site.. Also, all the brake components were severely rusted causing an added time to do the parts out. To date there has not been an accident; but the problem in new york is car won't pass yearly inspection because of other filed complaints the next stop is the dealership apparently if i can get there safely. (i'm another person on social security without large amounts of cash ~$2000 - $5000 to spend on a car that is now depreciated to ~ $4500.) this safety issue needs to be a recall |
