When driver attempted to stop, the ABS came on. The vehicle slid for 5.5 feet on hard gravel before hitting a set of stairs where it stopped.
Going about 40mph when brakes were applied. The brake pedal went to the floor. This caused the vehicle to have created extended stopping distance. Took to dealer & was informed nothing wrong with ABS brakes.
When applying the ABS brakes the pedal will travel to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Please give any further details.
Brake worn out prematurely.
Anti lock brakes frequently skid and lock up, on one occasion a collision occurred.
Brakes: when driving on wet or slippery roads,or hitting a gravel or a pothole at low speed, the ABS kicked in. Pushed brake pedal completely to the floor, and the vehicle slowed down and would not stop. Dealer says there is no problem with the brakes.
Brakes engage too slowly and braking action delayed.
Anti-lock brakes continue to fail after master cylinder replaced.
When it is wet outside the pedal goes to the floor when applying the brakes. Dealer says that there is nothing that they can do. This has been happening since the owner bought the vehicle. It only happens when it is wet outside.
