| Description of the problem | 2004 subaru impreza wrx abs system will not allow safe stopping on snow/sleet/ice. Abs system will occasionally kick in when hitting small bumps/potholes while stopping and cause the pedal to go limp requiring you to release braking pressure and reengage the brake to stop. I'm reading multiple complaints about this issue on this car. The only way to avoid any accidents is to keep an excessively long distance behind cars during snowy/icy conditions and pray no one cuts in fronts of you while breaking or you will hit them. |
