| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When my vehicles brakes are depressed with uneven surface traction on the left or right side of the wheels, the abs system delays and does not engage the brakes for 1 to 3 seconds. this happened today on a smooth suburban street with water contacting only the right side wheels. when i went to brake for an upcoming stop sign, the brakes did not engage at all for approximately 2 seconds. it was extremely frightening. i am reporting this because it seems it is an unacknowledged problem with a lot of the model year 2002 subaru imprezza wrx cars. there is a discussion on this issue on an owners club bulliten board called the i-club (www.i-club.com). i did not believe in this problem until it happened to me today first hand.*ak |
