Consumer Description

"SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE EVEN IN PERFECT DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS WARNING LIGHT APPEARS, THE BRAKES RESPOND BY BECOMING "SPONGY" OR "LESS REACTIVE" LIMITING THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO BRAKE SAFELY. CAR WAS INSPECTED BY TWO DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR TECHNICIANS AND THEY WERE ABLE TO RULE OUT TIRE/HUB/BRAKE ISSUES BUT WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT A CAUSE FOR THE WARNING LIGHT TO APPEAR AND CAUSE THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED ABOVE. THEY SAID THEY RESET THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND THIS RESOLVED THE ISSUE FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, THEN THE ISSUE RECURRED. *TR
