| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While approaching stopped traffic on interstate-70 i applied brakes hard enough to engage the abs system. Subsequent braking resulted in the brake pedal having excessive travel to within 1/2 inch of the floor board, making future stopping very unpredictable and resulting in multiple near miss accidents. The brake pedal corrected itself within about 3 days of normal driving. This exact same thing has occurred every time the abs has been engaged, which is at least 3 additional times since the first incident. Each time the problem has cleared up in about 3 days, but the brakes are very unpredictable and dangerous during that time. |
