SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS SYSTEM HAS FAILED A NUMBER OF TIMESS (NO PUMPING ON HARD BRAKING), ONCE CAUSED ME TO SKID INTO THE REAR OF A VEHICLE DUE TO UNCONTROLABILTY (PERSON IN OTHER CAR SAID SHE HEARD SKIDDING. PEOPLE AT DEALERSHIP SOUNDED LIKE THEY HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE (THEY SAID THAT ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS RESET THE ABS SYSTEM). AFTER RESETTING ABS SYSTEM IT WORKED FOR A WHILE AND THEN STOPPED FUNCTIONING AGAIN. COULDN'T AFFORD THE $50 FEE FOR BRINGING IT IN A LOT (100K WARRANTY.) SO I DROVE IT AS A NON ABS CAR, BUT STILL NO PUMPING FEELING WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, ANY MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL AT [email protected]. *AK
