Description of the problem | Brakes have a tendency to momentarily delay in stopping. Noticed this problem numerous times upon leaving parking lots at slow speeds (5 - 10 mph). Problem seems to occur when barely accelerating & then applying brake to stop. Can feel brakes lock up under brake pedal. Hasn't created an accident yet, but have had difficulty in the winter time. Never had any lights or warning problems with the abs or traction control. Have also noticed problem in the front wheels while manuevering tires from left to right. Feels like tires popping against the wheel well (example only). Took vehicle into dealership to have looked at several times. They say it's the traction control & that it's normal. Brakes seem to pulsate. Replacement on rotors & brakes. *la |
