Consumer Description

THIS STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. WHILE ENGAGING THE BRAKES AT LOW TO MODERATE SPEEDS, IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS SYSTEM IS ENGAGING BUT THE BRAKING IS WEAK. I HAVE TO DISENGAGE AND THEN REENGAGE THE BRAKES, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THEM TO WORK. RESEARCH ON THE WEB INDICATES THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 MODEL YEAR IS UNDER A RECALL. IT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE THE 2005 MODEL YEAR.
