Consumer Description

DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN A STRAIGHT LINE UNDER DRY CONDITIONS AT ABOUT A CONSTANT 30 MPH, THE CAR STARTED PULSING THE FRONT CORNER BRAKES. AT THE SAME TIME, THE VEHICLES TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. I WAS NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE CAR'S TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM THOUGHT MY TIRES WERE SPINNING, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. I STOPPED AND INSPECTED MY FRONT WHEEL AND FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE TIRE OR ITS ALIGNMENT OR FENDER CLEARANCE. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS THE CAR COULD INADVERTENTLY BRAKE ITSELF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
