Description of the problem | While driving to work on a state highway the brakes on my vehicle failed. The vehicle is 10 months old and has ~8000 miles on it. The abs activated while not applying the brakes. When i stepped on the brakes to slow the speed of the vehicle, the vehicle took much longer to slow down and or stop. After which, the abs and traction control light came on. The light then began to come off and on without a pattern. The car was taken to the dealership and the abs pump and abs control module were replaced. This issue occurred without warning. If the conditions had been different, this loss in braking could have caused a serious accident. |
