Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET COMING TO A STOP WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ANTI LOCK/ TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED WHILE TRYING TO STOP. FOR A COUPLE SECONDS I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP AS IF THE CAR WAS PREVENTING THE WHEELS FROM LOCKING UP AS IT WOULD ON WET PAVEMENT BUT IT WASN'T WET AT ALL. THERE WAS PULSATION IN THE BREAK PEDAL PREVENTING ME PRESSING THE BREAK PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE WASN'T SLOWING DOWN AT ALL CAUSING ME TO ALMOST RUN INTO THE BACK OF A SCHOOL BUS. IT STILLS CONTINUES TODAY AFTER 2 VISITS TO THE DEALER SHIP AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
