SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS MALFUNCTIONED. THE SYSTEM ENGAGED WITHOUT CAUSE, RESULTING IN THE SERVICE BRAKES NOT WORKING WHEN DEPRESSED. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE CONSUMER HAS TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE SENSOR ON THE FRONT WHEELS GETS CORRODED, CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO MIS READ. THEREFORE THE SYSTEM INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS ON ICE WHEN IT ISN'T AND THE ABS ENGAGES. THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED THE FRONT WHEEL SENSOR ASSEMBLY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THERE'S A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES ASSEMBLED IN CANADA. *JB CONSUMER CONCERN WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE ABS SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE CAUSED BY UNWANTED ABS ACTIVATION. *BF
