problem #1

Jun 282012

Leaf

  • 750 miles
During extreme braking on uneven surface, loose gravel, or slick surface, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) engages (as expected). However, once the brake pedal has been released, ABS fails to release the brakes promptly. The additional release delay causes greater-than-intended braking, and potential for being rear-ended (struck by following traffic).
