Description of the problem | While driving the abs system activated even though the pavement was dry. The problem is that the abs system prevented the brakes from functioning at all and i rolled through an intersection even though i was pressing firmly on the brake pedal. The abs warning indicator eventually illuminates indicating something is wrong with the system however, i don't think it should have failed in such a way as to prevent any braking action from occurring. This problem has only happened once but i was very lucky that no other vehicles were traveling through that intersection at the same time that this problem caused me to roll through it while the stoplight was red for me. *kb |
