STARTING IN JUNE 2000, WHEN A/C WAS TURNED ON, AN OBNOXIOUS MUSTY ODOR WAS PRESENT, THEN ON 12-09-00 WITH HEATER TURNED ON AND DRIVING 60 MPH TO WORK, BECAME VERY ILL AND DISORIENTED, LATER TAKEN BY EMS, ON 3-27-01, WHEN LEAVING FOR WORK AND TURNING OUT OF DRIVIE WAY, CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF STREET AND WOULDN'T START.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS). A PRESSURE CONSCIOUS REDUCING VALVE (PCRV) IN THE REAR BRAKES MAY BE SUBJECT TO CORROSION AND RESULT IN MALFUNCTION, WHEN OPERATED IN AREAS THAT USE SALT COMPOUNDS ON THE ROADWAY FOR DE-ICING OR DUST CONTROL.
Consequence & remedy
