| Description of the problem | My rear brake pedal has locked in position making the rear brakes inoperable. The abs module has failed without warning. No abs trouble indication light. It is my understanding this is fairly common issue that can affect both the front and rear brakes. This abs system is dangerous as is. The system should never cause a loss of braking. The system should revert to non abs braking when a failure happens. When my rear brakes failed , luckily for me , i was moving at a slow speed on a side street and was able to stop with the front brakes only. This type of failure could have been deadly at highway speeds. I'm certain there have been casualties as a result of this defect. |
