Description of the problem | This has happened several times, so i'm not sure of the first date it happened, but when i hit a pot hole or bump with my brakes on, the suv suddenly accelerates (seems to lunge forward) for several seconds (and braking doesn't work). This is very scary and i've come close to hitting another car because i speed up on it at a stop (sign or light) after i hit the pothole. I've taken it in to the dealer, who cannot reproduce problem and claims nothing is wrong. I've also hit a patch on the road that my car considers slippery (even though there's no ice) and i can hear my abs kick in (even though the brakes aren't even on). |
