Great letter Jim! Stick my names down if it helps Jim

Great letter

just hope Vaxhall dont ignore this like most big companies do.

Good luck!

I don't think they can. Its not something like a paint issue, its a safety issue which could have serious repercussions if not addressed.

I think if the company are aware of the problem, do nothing, and the worst happens, there's a strong case for corporate manslaughter. It doesn't get much more serious than that.

You can put my name down too. (Neil Broome)

It may be worth while adding in the poll stat to the letter.

Jim,

Great letter and very well put. I know realize that I've had this problem but had assumed it was my driving!:

However, the VX220 system does not seem to hold the wheels anywhere near the point of lock-up, and the sensation from the driver’s seat is that the brakes have almost been removed entirely.

[Mr_M]

Might not have had the VX long, but already had a couple of incidents with this, (what I can say, I was just enthusiastic about trying out my new car! ) I agree with Thorney - lets see what happens after the national meet, but if the letter still needs to go then please add my name too.

at high speeds when this happens it gets the heart rate up. hope we get a good solution.

Great letter! Please add me to the list of signatures

Thanks for taking the time to write the letter.

I am happy for you to add my name to the senders. And having covered nearly 26,000 miles in my Turbo I KNOW there is a problem.

Keep up the good work.

Great letter Jim You can most certainly add my name to the list: Paul Harrison

[johnathan]

Good points and well put. you obviously have good self restraint by not showing any anger or emotional words. Hope it does some good. In the mean time im going to see if decent pads all round and new brake fluid help a little, I know the abs system is still at fault

You can put my name down too if you want. Leo Demetriou

very good letter jim. as one of the 'complete failure on smooth surface' people I would be grateful if you could add my name Julian Seymour (2.2na)

[Hutch]

Well constructed letter. Lets hope for responsive outcome. Feel free to add my name. Jamie Hutchinson.

[ANOTHER SP30]

Totally agree - A safety issue which Vauxhall should resolve. Steven Mackie

[mal_dun]

Excellent letter. However should we use VX/ Speedster or have Speedster users not reported problems. Add my name Malcolm Dunlop

[madasahatter]

Good letter. Add my name to the letter if it goes after the National meet Steve Kelly

[Joss]

Jocelyn Manners-Armstrong However after my experience with Volvo denying any possibility of malfunctioning or even overreactive braking systems, I am a little cynical about how far we can get. Lets hope there is power in collective action!
