Consumer Description

WHEN BRAKING, IF THE CAR HITS ANY KIND OF POTHOLE, SPEED BUMP, OR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD THAT CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, ALL BRAKING POWER IS LOST AND THE CAR GLIDES (AS IF NEITHER THE BRAKE OR GAS PEDAL ARE DEPRESSED) UNTIL THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES OFF, AT WHICH POINT BRAKING POWER IS RETURNED. THE TRACTION CONTROL IS VERY SENSITIVE AND MANY SMALL BUMPS OR IMPERFECTIONS CAN SET IT OFF, AND THE LACK OF BRAKING POWER HAS CAUSED ME SOME CLOSE CALLS IN THE PAST. *TR
