SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
I BELIEVE THAT THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ON THE TOYOTA CAMRY 2002 ARE TOO SENSITIVE. THEY ENGAGE WAY TOO EARLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. WHEN THERE IS A LITTLE SNOW ON THE ROAD AND I AM TRAVELING EVEN AT A SNAILS PACE AND TRY TO STOP, THE BRAKES ENGAGE CAUSING THE CAR TO SKID THROUGH THE LIGHT. EVERY OTHER CAR I DROVE SLOWED TO A STOP. *NM
