Consumer Description

WHEN THE ABS IS ENGAGED, BRAKES GO SOFT/ARE LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TO 4 TIMES SO FAR. SO WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATES, I LOSE ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF MY BRAKING CAPABILITY AND HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND FOR IT TO EVEN SLOW DOWN THE CAR. IT DOES NOT EVEN STOP THE CAR, IT JUST SLOWS THE CAR A LITTLE BIT. THE CAR THEN NEEDS TO BE RESTARTED FOR THE BRAKES TO WORK AGAIN. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OF THIS WAS IN WASHINGTON DC. THE ABS ENGAGED ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR ROLLED INTO THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED. THERE WAS NO COLLISION BUT ONLY NARROWLY.
