| Description of the problem | This particular problem starts when i'm on a major highway and have to make an "immediate action required" braking maneuver at higher speeds of 65-70mph.(slower vehicle in front of you = panic stop, exiting to an off ramp and a hard stop) when braking hard the cars brakes sounds like the abs system can't get a grip so to speak and the whole car shudders. The car brakes but sounds like your wearing something out. I have had a mechanic test drive the car but he could not replicate the condition. I had new rotors put on to no avail. The condition continues as of today under those conditions i've mentioned. I will live with the problem. Thank-you |
