Consumer Description

I FELT ABS SYSTEM ACTUATING VIA PUMPING SENSATION IN MY BRAKE PEDAL WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT. IT PERFORMED WORSE WHEN GOING UPHILL, AT LOW SPEEDS AND ON FLAT SURFACES. ERROR CODES WERE GENERATED AND "DUMMY" LIGHTS WENT ON. THE BRAKING WAS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE AS A RESULT OF THE ABS KICKING IN ERRONEOUSLY. THANKFULLY I WAS KEEPING A SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE AND WAS ABLE TO BRAKE WITH SOME ROOM TO SPARE BUT IF I HAD REGULAR BRAKES WITHOUT THE ABS MALFUNCTIONING, I WOULD HAVE STOPPED MORE QUICKLY. THANKFULLY NOBODY WAS HURT THIS TIME. MECHANIC INVESTIGATION INDICATED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE SERVICE BULLETIN: NTB07-016B HAS THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO FIX THE ABS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT CAUGHT IN TIME TO HELP ME AVOID A FAILED ACTUATOR. *TR
