At slow speeds aproximatly 5-10 MPH the antilock system kicks in and the brakes fail to stop the vehicle.mostly coming to a slow stop such as in a parking lot.I hear the ABS motor running and the brake pedal drops the vehicle then feels as though it is not going to stop in time.this is on a good traction surface and there is no wheel lock up.it seems to act up almost every stop for days and then I may not have it occur for a few days then it returns.
