SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
PROCEEDED DOWN WET HIGHWAY AT 40 MPH. VEHICLE AHEAD SLOWED. APPLIED BRAKES, HAD FULL LOCKUP AND HIT CAR AHEAD AT EST 7 MPH SPEED. ANTILOCK SYSTEM DID NOT ACTIVATE AT ALL. HAD NOTICED TIS PHENOMENA AT STOP SIGNS IN WET CONDITION BEFORE, HAD CHECKED AT DEALER, NO PROBLEM FOUND BY TECHNICIAN. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM ASSOCIATED ONLY WITH WET ROAD CONDITIONS. SOFTWARE PROBLEM RATHER THAN MECHANICAL. AM AWARE OF OTHER CASES. ALTHOUGH MY DAMAGE MINOR, I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED DUE TO POTENTIAL SERIOUS NATURE OF PROBLEM.*AK
