| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Abs premature engagement. happened 11/18/03 and about 10 times since 6/02. under light to moderate braking, around 35 mph, the abs will engage and drastically reduce braking deceleration over minor pavement irregularities. today it happened when going over botts dots, but it also happens on bumps, washboard pavement, etc. the pedal becomes light and the car basically stops braking for 0.5 to 1.0 seconds. very scary and dangerous. i am a mechanical engineer, master's degree, with experience in vehicle dynamics, hydraulics, and electronic feedback control. there is something drastically wrong with the abs tuning on this car. i am going to disable the abs system until subaru fixes this. ps i have never used the spare tire. *la |
