Original text

I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT WHILE EXECUTING LOW SPEED STOPS (CITY DRIVING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) MY ABS SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE AND THE PUMP COULD BE HEARD AND FELT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED IN ALL TYPES OF DRIVING CONDITIONS, PARTICULARLY ON DRY PAVEMENT AND AT LOW SPEEDS, WHERE ABS IS NOT NEEDED. THE RESULT OF THIS ABS ACTIVATION WAS DECREASED STOPPING POWER AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES. THIS CREATED A SAFETY HAZARD AND ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I ENDED UP DEACTIVATING MY ABS SYSTEM COMPLETELY TO CREATE A RELIABLE BRAKING SYSTEM. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF ANY RECALL. *KB
