Driving in heavy snow in December 2009 and twice in January 2010. I applied the brakes. The anti lock brake system will not stop the car within 20 to 30 feet of the car ahead. I have to divert off road to avoid rear ending the car in front of me. Reported the problem and incidents to the dealership. The car was test driven on dry pavement. I was told there was no problem the anti lock brake system is performing fine.
