| Description of the problem | When braking, the vehicle often "slips" for a moment. There is a moment of acceleration when braking at low speeds. It has caused me to bump into the shelves in my garage. It has also caused me to rear-end another vehicle. I was slowing down at some train tracks and rolled into the car ahead of me. The car ahead of me suffered no damage, but my bumper was completely destroyed from the trailer hitch of the other car. The braking is inconsistent and unpredictable. I am just glad no one got hurt. |
