| Description of the problem | While operating vehicle at 35mph in wet & cold weather conditions i approached a stop sign at a left curve in the road on a city street and began breaking. I believe the abs activated and i felt my break pedal pulsing and suddenly without warning my break pedal became soft and i depressed my break pedal to the floor in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle did not come to a stop until 3 car lengths past the sign. After this my pedal never recovered and i had to pulse my break pedal to stop the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the dealer for service and was informed my abs module failed. I had no warning or prior indication and at no time did any lights appear on the dash display. I had no leaks of break fluid and recently had all 4 rotors and pads replaced on the vehicle. |
