SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN THE ABS IS ACTIVATED DUE TO A SINGLE WHEEL EVENT (E.G. BRAKING OVER A BUMP IN ROAD), THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY COME TO A STOP. I HAVE ENDED UP IN AN INTERSECTION ONCE, AND ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FROM OF ME THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. IT APPEARS THAT THE ABS PROGRAMMING IS TOO SENSITIVE TO THIS TYPE OF CONDITION. IF UNCORRECTED, IT WILL MOST LIKELY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR A DEATH. I WAS LUCKY WHEN I ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION THAT NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC EXISTED. *AK
