When i apply the brake, it feels like the abs on steroids kicks in, on dry pavement, (this was after i had new brakes installed) i ended up having two new sets of brakes installed. Had it to the dealership for the same issue after they put the 'factory brakes' installed for the same issue and they looked at me like i am crazy, so they greased what they could and said if it kept doing it to bring it back. This was…

While trying to stop from less than 40 miles per hour for a light turning red the abs came on and released the brakes making me roll through the stop light, no tickets or accidents but dang, the brake pedal pushed back applying very much less braking on dry pavement on moderate braking, i stopped in the middle of the intersection. Very very scary and potentially fatal.

The abs breaks kick in while i'm driving. My concern isn't as much in the dryer weather but when it is slick outside (snow ice rain) these gears are grinding down and losing integrity every time it kicks in. (almost everytime i brake).

This started about 2 months ago. While engaging the brakes at low to moderate speeds, it feels like the abs system is engaging but the braking is weak. I have to disengage and then reengage the brakes, sometimes multiple times for them to work. Research on the web indicates this exact problem for the 2004 model year is under a recall. It needs to be extended to include the 2005 model year.

When the brake is applied at low speed, the anti lock braking system clicks in, extending the stopping distance. My son drove the car and nearly crashed into another vehicle as he couldn't stop. He was driving on a city street. There is a recall for this problem # 065 on 2003-2004 model years but clearly the problem extends to 2005 model year.

When pressing on the brake it vibrates and acts like something is going to brake with crunching noise sound and i literally have to take my feet off the brake. The accelerator is doing the same thing it has the same noise when pressing on it. This is something that is very dangerous and should be addressed. I have talked to two different places that fix cars and they said that they could not find anything wrong.…

This has been a repeated problem for a long time. Early on i would have a brake lamp light that i would be told was out. We would take the light bulb out and reinsert and it would fix the problem. We assumed it jiggled loose. Then, at a later time, i would be told that the other brake light was out, and we would repeat the process and take it apart and it would amazingly start working again. Beginning in november…

Both front and rear brakes have been repaired within last 6 or 7 months; however, front brakes pulsate (like abs is engaging) when braking at low speeds for the past several months even before and after brake repairs. On dec 21, 2012, i dropped off my grandson at school and went to park on a street next to the school. The front brakes pulsated when braking to park (about 4 miles per hour) and then the brake pedal…
