Description of the problem | My 2007 honda odyssey has twice had the following problem. Both times it was in conditions where the anti-lock brakes were (presumably) engaged: once coming to stop on a very wet street in rain, and the second on a very snowy, poor traction street. Both times i was braking harder than usual while decelerating to come up to a stop sign/light and the abs engaged. The initial slowing was fine, no slipping, but as i decelerated through about 3-5 mph, the brakes refused to work. I pressed the pedal harder but the brakes would no longer engage. I was moving very slowly, but unable to stop (and this was not due to road surface, it was due to the brakes refusing to engage). The first time i narrowly avoided hitting the car in front of me. The second time i just continued forward halfway through the intersection. I am a commercial pilot and it felt like the antilock brakes had released, and then refused to re-engage. I tried pumping them as well. No response. The pedal still had braking feel, just no brake engagement. Perhaps the abs should cut out below 2 mph or some preset number and this did not happen? Anyway, in those conditions, you need to be able to stop... Even if you're traveling extremely slowly, being unable to stop the vehicle from entering the intersection through the red light is very dangerous. *cn |
