ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
Abs braking system fails to stop vehicle in a timely manner when applied. Motor is catching and then it is releasing. Have not been to a dealer to let mechanic check brakes out.
Was pulling out of driveway and making a left hand turn heard a loud noise. Vehicle pulled to right, could not pull to left. Had applied brakes, vehicle hit a lamp post, and then a house due to a lack of braking power. Abs brakes had failed. Would not stop vehicle. Vehicle was totaled.
While driving could feel ABS brakes not working properly, and the ABS light staying on.
The ABS brakes would release & then would make clunking noises after being applied. The problem is getting worse. The brakes would squeal while driving. The pedal would feel weird when applied. Taken vehicle to dealership & was informed by mechanic no problem exists with the ABS brakes. Can find no information on apparent recall.
When attempting to stop the van, the wheels locked up and the van slid through the intersection. Wheel lock-up has happened multiple times, ABS is hit-and-miss.
While driving at any speed and applying the brakes, the ABS system kicks in, causing the ABS system to fail. Also there is vibration within the front tires.
When the brake pedal was used, it would be mushy & go to floor. This caused extended stopping distance. Also, gas gauge indicator would flop off and on/ air conditioner & electric windows failed to work,and ABS brake light was on. Had to shut down vehicle & then restart it. An intermittent problem that was getting worse. Speed has not played a factor in problem. Taking vehicle to dealer.
Drove out of driveway and ABS brake light went on and would not go off. Shut car down and restarted. Light went off but as I drove out, ABS light went back on. Took to dealer said it was the ABS computer that failed and that I would have to replace it because it was out of warranty . Regular brakes are functioning properly, but I do not have ABS brakes. Estimated cost to replace ABS computer $1300-$1400.
When braking for a red light and moving into a left turn lane, the ABS brakes went off uncontrollably for no apparent reason. I had a very hard time braking and had to put my entire body weight on the brake pedal to stop my vehicle. I actually had to extend my leg and "stand up" on my brake pedal. I am glad I was going rather slow, around 15 m.p.h. Because I almost hit the car that was waiting at the red light in front of me. I really thought my vehicle was not going to stop. Now I am extremely afraid to drive my car. Thank you.
