| Description of the problem | The abs system isn't working properly, and the brakes are very spongy, making it unsafe to drive the car. This started when i was braking at 40 mph and hit a mild bump in the road triggering the abs to activate briefly. The brakes have been inconsistently spongy ever since, and not consistently spongy rendering the brakes unpredictable as well as intermittently unresponsive. The brake fluid is fine, the master cylinder is not leaking, and the brake pads and calipers are functioning properly. This appears to be an abs pump/actuator issue. |
