| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: During normal braking from speed of approx. 45mph to speed of approx. 20mph on flat, level, smooth, dry pavement, abs system activated without reason. entire car shuddered and steering attempted to pull car to the left with braking adjusted by abs which lengthened braking distance greatly.. low trac dash light on during abs controlled braking episode, but abs light not on and not flashing. shuddering noise heard from under car, especially toward right passenger front during abs control of brakes and continued for approx. another mile after brake pedal had been release and speed of 40 mph was resumed. have had previous trouble with abs activating without reason while breaking to a normal stop on dry pavement from slow speed (less than 10-15mph) and while breaking while driving down slight decline at slow speed in a parking garage. also had instance of car being fully stopped at traffic light and abs light coming on at same time as car jumped forward approx. 3 feet, while brake pedal suddenly allowed itself to be depressed all the way to the floor. have called dealership re: frequent instances of abs light coming on and remaining on to which dealership said to shut car off, then turn on to reset abs system. have had abs sensor replaced once, when car was approx. 2 years old. had not trouble for approx. a year after that, but have had increasingly more frequent instances of abs light remaining on (never flashing), especially since tires were replaced approx. 6 months ago. have checked for proper tire inflation and balance to ensure this is not the difficulty. am taking car to dealership later this week for abs system to be fixed.*ak |
