When driving at speed below 40 mph the abs system is kicking in and locking the brakes up. Front brake rotors sometimes haung up/overheated and the consumer smelled the brakes burning.

Brake problems.

When brakes are applied, the brakes become weak, resulting in extended stopping. Distance, brake system is weak, too much pedal effort.

The anti-lock brakes engage often when braking. I saw an article in our mpls. Star tribune newspaper which someone wrote in with a similar problem, same year vehicle, and said we should contact you for investigation. The brakes basically engage even on dry pavement, moving at slow speeds. We think that these brakes should only be engaging when you are having to stop suddenly and are concerned this may be more of a problem later on. We do have approx 120,000 miles on the vehicle but this has been a problem for a long time now. We were told by a mechanic that his pickup does the same thing and this year is noted for that problem. No need to fix it. I just wanted you to be aware of something we are seeing that we feel is not quite right.

When the brakes were applied, the pedal went to the floor, causing extended stopping distance which resulted in a collision. The dealer has been notified.

Vehicle vibrates intermittently while driving, vibration is more severe under braking conditions but noticeable when just cruising, this vibration causes the rear end to bounce thus resulting in the abs to activate and extended stopping distance.

Braking power is insufficient, resulting in excessive rotor wear, and extended stopping distance. Also; when the brakes are applied rear wheels lock up, causing the abs system to activate prematurely. Dealer has inspected vehicle, and has not been able to duplicate the problem.

Whenever I apply the brake and the vehicle happens to drive over any uneven surfaces on the road ( ie, bumps, pot hole, cracks, etc) abs would engage and causes the vehicle to shake violently.
