| Description of the problem | While trying to stop on slippery surfaces 3 out of 5 times my abs is non existent and my wheels lock up i first noticed this in december 2009. Last night i was driving on a icy snow covered road. I was coming to a stop sign, i applied my brakes and i didn't feel like i was stopping. I gave the pedal more pressure and i started to fishtail almost colliding with a parked vehicle. The next stop sign i came to abs worked fine. After that my wheels locked up. This vehicle is a complete joke. Also note vehicle is equipped with good snow tires. |
