NHTSA complaint #10503969, filed 2013-03, 19,000 miles“I have multiple occurrence where my vehicle does not response when I hit the brakes. Its like the ABS system is not working. It has happened several times. I notice it happen more often if I hit a bump in the road. The problem usually occurs at a slow about of speed. I have been able to avoid accidents by swerving out of the way of cars, but I believe sooner or later I will get into an accident.”
