| Description of the problem | While driving if hitting a speed bump, pot hole, or something similar the abs would kick in. This would cause the brake pedal to be pushed all the way to the floor before the brakes would engage. The last time this happened was just driving and came up to the stop sign and the abs acted as if it kicked in and had to push the brake pedal all the way down. Normally after turning the car off and back on the brakes would go to normal, but has not this time. Changed the brake pads, front and rear, the master cylinder, and still no improvement. After reading that there was a recall on other years for the abs, found that the abs is the problem with mine as well. Have recently read that other vehicles are having the same problem as mine. Abs kicking in for no reason and not having brakes until the pedal is completely pressed to the floor. This started happening since i hit 80,000 miles and now have 89,xxx and it has recently gotten much worse, unable to drive the vehicle and unable to afford to fix it. |
