When applying the ABS brakes the pedal travels to the floor, causing extended stopping distance which nearly caused a vehicle collision to occur. Consumer states that with the brakes held to the floor, the front wheels would shimmy so bad that the steering wheel went out of consumers hands, causing the vehicle to go out of control, the brakes seemed to lock up the right front wheel then lock up the left front wheel back and forth until it was out of control.
When applying the ABS brakes in normal conditions, the right rear brake locks up. The aba takes over and releases the right rear and all brakes momentarily.
