: the contact stated the ABS engaged at speeds of 30 mph and below. The stopping distance was increased as a result. There is a NHTSA recall, # 05V379000, regarding the ABS system. The vehicle has the same problems as the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN. The vehicle was taken to a local dealership for inspection. The dealer can not duplicate the problem and no repairs were made. Updated 03/03/06.
When vehicle is stopping, it feels as though the brakes are releasing some sort of air. We then have to lift off of the brake in order to fully stop. This has been a problem when trying to make sudden stops.
