Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The abs brake system when braking and or you hit a bump, pothole or depression the brakes go into anti lock and do not come out. it takes about 1/3 more distance to stop. i had one accident where i was on the i-5 freeway, traffic stopped, i applied the brakes and had to go between two cars. i hit the side of one car. this problem occurs most of the time. it is very dangorous since normal stopping distance is suddenly increased and there is nothing i can do when it happens. i have had it in the shop about 6 times. *ak
