Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I WAS DRIVING FORWARD AT ABOUT 15 MPH ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD (RESIDENTIAL CITY STREET). I CAME UPON AN UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION WHEN I NOTICED A CAR COMING FROM MY RIGHT SIDE, I THEN ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN MY BRAKE PEDAL LOST ALL PRESSURE AND WENT TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING AN INABILITY TO SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. RESULTING IN MY CAR HITTING THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE OTHER CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS LOST PRESSURE 3 TIMES PREVIOUSLY ALL IN THE SAME WINTER CONDITIONS (SNOW AND ICY ROAD) AND WHILE TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, WITH NO ISSUES FOUND WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. 1 OF THE PREVIOUS TIMES I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE FOR THE CAR TO STOP COMPLETELY THE OTHER 2 TIMES TOOK AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE CAR TO STOP. WHEN MY BRAKE PEDAL LOSES PRESSURE I IMMEDIATELY PARK MY CAR, THE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AT LEAST 5 HOURS IF NOT LONGER.
ARRIVED AT DESTINATION PARKING LOT AND DRIVER DOOR HANDLE SEEMED TO SNAP AND UNABLE TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR. CRAWLED OVER THE CENTER CONSUL TO EXIT THE PASSENGER SIDE. LOCKED CAR AND WHEN I RETURNED I ENTERED THE PASSENGER SIDE AND CRAWLED OVER THE CONSUL TO THE DRIVER SEAT. ONCE I GOT HOME I REPEATED THE SAME EXIT PROCESS AND WENT AROUND TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR AND ONCE OPENED IT DID NOT CLOSE. HAD TO BUNGIE CORD THE DOOR SHUT IN THE GARAGE TO TURN OFF THE COURTESY LIGHTS AND SILENCE DOOR AJAR ALARM. NEXT MORNING IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO DEALER. DROVE CAREFULLY HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE I DROVE. DOOR AJAR ALARM AND LIGHT KEPT APPEARING. REPAIR COST $167.96. 10 DAYS LATER THE DRIVER DOOR FAILED AGAIN WHEN I ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK. THIS TIME I LOWERED THE WINDOW AND REACHED OUTSIDE FOR THE DOOR HANDLE AND THAT WORKED TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT SEEMED TO CLOSE OKAY BUT NEXT MORNING I RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS A DIFFERENT ISSUE AND COST $335.45. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WAS RELATED TO THE OTHER ISSUES I SEE ABOUT THE DOOR LATCH FAILING SINCE 2010 ON YOUR SITE AND OTHER BLOGS AND THE RECENT RECALL AND NOW EXTENDED RECALL. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE PARTS USED FOR THE REPAIR MAY BE COMPROMISED AS WELL. THIS IS TOO SCARY IF IT WOULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR OR HAVE THE DOOR FLY OPEN OR EVEN TRY TO DRIVE HOLDING ONTO THE DOOR TO KEEP IT SHUT.
