Took the vehicle to dealer on a recall for ABS brake failure. Prior to taking the vehicle in the brakes were not defective. They locked up and then failed altogether.
Abs brake failure - after going over a bump or railroad track when coming to a stop there is a grinding noise on the driver's side and when brakes are applied pedal will go to the floor. Pumping of the pedal will not get the pedal height back. The brake pedal will continue to go to the floor for as many times as I apply the brakes. After vehicle is parked for half a day or longer, the pedal will return to a high pedal and everything seems okay. This condition has happened twice so far.
Consumer complained about an ABS brake problem.
When depressing the brakes with force left front wheel locked in place, resulting into extended stopping distance. Dealership replace ABS sensor.
While traveling at unknown speed consumer noticed ABS indicator light flashing. Vehicle was serviced, but dealer was not able to identify the cause.
On february 22,03 vehicle was repaired due to recall on ABS brake system, when we picked up vehicle front axle was engaged full time, feb.22-03 return for repair when returned random brake failure returned and told bearing problem , ??? March 4-03 took to another dealer. Told computer problem. Disconnected ABS for safety reasons. I have been told of other incidents on same make and models.
After immediately purchasing vehicle, consumer complained about the poor braking system, the dealer checked the system and stated everything was ok, a year later consumer complained about the brakes, after having some near collsions and also having a collision with a deer that caused considerable damage, the problem was that no matter how much force consumer applied to the pedal, after the initial application, the vehicle would not change its rate of speed, however consumer later received a recall notification (c99046) on the ABS, and the brake module was then replaced, consumer states the brakes seem to have normal braking, but when the brakes are applied the tires leave the road surface,like hitting a pot hole, the pedal drops down about two inches and the braking effect is reduced by what seems about one half the force on the pedal.
Abs brake warning light remains illuminated, indicating a malfunction within the system, cause unknown. Dealer cannot identify the problem.
Abs light is on. When applying brakes pedal feels like it's pushing back, in all road conditions. *ak consumer states while pressing on the brakes they seize up and seem to lock, vehicle swerves to the left and brake pressure lets go and vehicle lunges forward, wet pavement conditions are worse, rotors, calipers, ball joints, hoses, and belts have been replaced in order to correct problem, however problems still exist, a dealer replaced the switch which did not change any problems, there is a recall, 99i006, regarding this however, vehicle was not included and consumer feels it could correct braking problems.
Recall 99v193000 was fixed by dealer to correct ABS brakes. However, on november 1, 2000 after recall was fixed, ABS brakes failed again, causing consumer into an automobile accident. Driver received serious injuries. Vehicle was a total loss. Please add additional information.
