Consumer Description

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I NOTED THE FIST OCCURRENCE ONLY, THERE HAVE BEEN 4 ADDIONAL OCCURRENCES OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM ENGAGES, CLAMPS HARD ONE TIME AND THEN RELEASES. THIS LEAVES YOU FREE ROLLING UNTIL IT DECIDES TO CONTINUE OR YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT UP AND REAPPLY THE BRAKES. WHEN IT DOES CONTINUE ON ITS OWN THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. *AK
