| Description of the problem | While backing the vehicle down a snowy driveway the abs engaged briefly. Moments later, i had to brake to allow an oncoming car to pass, and the brakes were suddenly very soft, pedal went almost to the floor and i had to take evasive maneuvers onto a curb to avoid collision. The brakes remained very soft and spongy, though they improved a bit with pumping. |
