Consumer Description

WHEN VEHICLE GOES OVER A SMALL OR LARGE BUMP, A DASHBOARD LIGHT CLUSTER INDICATES TO SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ESP BAS WARNING LIGHTS. ABS IS NOTICEABLY DISABLED WHEN THIS LIGHT CLUSTER APPEARS. THE INDICATIONS USUALLY LAST A FEW MINUTES BEFORE GOING AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 18,000 MILES. WHEN BROUGHT UP AT THE DEALERSHIP DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I AM TOLD THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON THIS LAST OCCASION, I LOST FULL BRAKING AUTHORITY AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GRADUALLY SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER TO THE FREEWAY SHOULDER WHILE APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE INDICATIONS WENT AWAY AND BRAKING WAS RESTORED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
