Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We were traveling in the vehicle, approx. 20-25 mph when suddenly the right front brake locked for a few second, released and then about 10 seconds later, locked and released once again. It was as if we had slammed on the brakes as hard as possible, only on the right driver's side brake. When we took it to the dealer, the codes lead the technician to an open circuit on the abs actuator, however, the warranty company wouldn't fix or correct the problem because 1) they couldn't reduplicate the problem; and 2) the part in question is a small part within a $3,500 larger part, of which the entire $3,500 part would have to be replaced. They told us to wait until it happened again to bring it back to the dealership. Approx. One month later, the vehicle did the same thing, however, it was on the freeway at approx. 70 mph. The impact was less hard as the speed wouldn't allow the brake to fully stop the vehicle. The warranty agent again denied resolving the problem because they couldn't duplicate it in their presence and the codes were deemed incomplete and therefore, no repair. I am concerned this might cause a serious accident and/or damage to my vehicle.
