Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PRESSURE FAILURE. ALL PRESSURE IN BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND APPLY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW VEHICLE TO STOP. I CHECKED MSN WEBSITE FOR USED CAR RESEARCH INFO AND IT STATED THAT FAILURE TO ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH ON 1991 ACURA LEGEND IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF SOMEONE IS TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE THEN ATTEMPTS TO STOP AND HAS NO PRESSURE IN THERE BRAKING SYSTEM SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR. I ALSO NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR ON THE MSN WEBSITE. MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS THAT PROBLEM WHICH I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR ON 08/04/2003. *PH
