SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. BRAKES WOULD SHUDDER, MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATED. HAD TO PUMP THEM TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. COLEMAN DEALERSHIP (LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ 08648) CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO WARPED ROTORS. REPLACED ROTORS BRAKE PADS AND FLUSHED BRAKE SYSTEM. PROBLEM RECURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. RETURNED CAR TO DEALERSHIP ON 6/08/2010. DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SENSOR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT PROBLEM WITH SENSOR RECURRED AFTER 10 MONTHS AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK. WAS TOLD THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BROKEN SENSOR AGAIN. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO, AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY (TOLD THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT AIR BAG PERFORMANCE) BUT THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
