ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
The ABS system seems to slip while braking and changing lanes at the same time, and when running over a road reflector the brake will not grab until coming to a complete stop, the dealer has cleaned the rear wheels but this does not solve the problem.
At speeds under 10 MPH, ABS engaged due to cracked front hub causing vehicle to lunge forward. This has caused several near accidents during stopping and in parking .
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.
Abs brakes appear confused during low speed turn around resulting in delay of brake actuation of a couple of seconds.
