NHTSA complaint #708328, filed 1999-07“Problem has occurred seven times. Each time, I have been braking for a stop sign or traffic signal and had slowed almost to a stop when the ABS started to function.

The road surface in each case was paved and dry.”

When I brake, if I hit a bump, the brakes lock up, and I continue to slide. This has happened on many occasions, on dry and wet pavements and on snow and ice. I came very close (10-15 feet) to sliding into a busy intersection once when this brake problem occurred. …”
