Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Randomly while moderately braking on dry normal textured pavement abs system will engage, this causes a major and dangerous loss of braking power and pedal pressure. in order to restore some braking power the brake pedal must be disengaged completely and then have pressure reapplied. this will result in about 3/4 of the normal braking power. if the abs engages again the process must be repeated. this entire process causes braking distance to substantially increase from the expected amount.*ak
