I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WITH MULTIPLE STOPLIGHTS. AS A LIGHT TURNED RED, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR ACCOMPANIED BY THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

ON DEC. 7, 2004, IT WAS A VERY RAINY DAY AND OF COURSE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THEY WOULD TURN OFF, OR THEY WOULD TURN ON TO FULL WIPING WHEN I HAD THEM SET FOR INTERMITTENT WIPING. THEY ALSO WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN I TURNED THEM OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. THIS FIRST HAPPEND IN OCTOBER OF 2002. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN AWHILE, BUT WHEN YOU BRING IT TO THE DEALER, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN! I NOTIFIED GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ON AUGUST 11, 2003. CONFIRMATION NUMBER 1-128999107.*AK
