Description of the problem	We were driving during heavy rains at freeway speeds. Traffic was slowed ahead. The system signals an alarm that traffic ahead is slowing, a very nice feature. However, while the alarm was going off, i depressed the brake pedal with zero response, likely due to the abs not wanting me to slide on the wet roads. However as i got closer and closer to the slowed traffic ahead, i needed to press the brake harder and harder. The brakes simply stopped decelerating the highlander and we smashed into the back of a smaller vehicle. While i appreciate abs and the desire to prevent sliding, i must be able to stop my vehicle. I have read countless complaints about this occurring, yet i do not see a resolution.
