Consumer Description

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN IN SECOND GEAR AND PREPARING TO STOP WHEN THE ABS APPARENTLY TOOK CONTROL OF MY CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP BEFORE THE INTERSECTION AND NEARLY HIT ANOTHER CAR. I DID NOT FEEL THAT THE ROAD CONDITIONS WARRENTED THE ABS RESPONSE (THE ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY WET) AND I DID FEEL THAT I WAS IN CONTROL OF MY CAR BEFORE THE ABS TOOK OVER. I WAS TRAVELING UNDER 10 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR IN CONSIDERABLY WORSE WEATHER AND WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO ANTICIPATE MY STOPPING DISTANCE. THE ABS LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON AND WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. INFO THAT MAY BE RELEVENT...I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN A MINOR CAR ACCIDENT BUT I DO NOT THINK IT SHOULD'VE AFFECTED THE BRAKES. I ALSO HAD MY CAR REALIGNED TODAY AND I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS COULD HAVE ANY AFFECT ON THE ABS.
