The electronic ABS 2 wheel control is to senstive. If a bump or pothole is encountered when stopping the ABS will trigger. This extends stopping distance by 40%. Abs will not disingeage untill foot is released from brake and reapplied which in most cases will not stop vehicle in time. My ABS has triggered 6 times in dry weather normal driving, dealer's response is that ABS is showing no fault codes and is working as "designed". This is not safe and could lead to a large truck rear ending a smaller vehicle because of a bump or pothole in the road!
