Complaint Summary
STRUCTURE
Owner Narrative
APPARENTLY THE ADVANCED TRACK SYSTEM (STABILIZES THE VAN TO PREVENT ROLLOVER) AUTOMATICALLY PERFORMS TESTS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT DOES IT RANDOMLY AND WHILE I'M DRIVING. WHEN IT IS IN TEST MODE, I TEMPORARILY LOOSE CONTROL OF MY BRAKES AND STEERING!!!!! IT SEEMS MORE FREQUENT IN THAT IT HAS DONE IT TWICE IN THE PAST MONTH, TODAY BEING ONE OF THE TIMES. I ACTUALLY REAR ENDED SOMEONE TODAY BECAUSE MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK!!!!!! I THINK THE SYSTEM IS A GOOD IDEA BUT THE SELF TESTING CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I HAVE A TICKET, A RECORD, 2 VEHICLES TO REPAIR AND PROBABLY AN INCREASE IN INSURANCE! GREAT VAN BUT THIS PART SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR
