This is an intermittent problem that occurs and was first noticed a couple years ago. For an unknown reason when the brakes are applied the peddle goes soft and pulsates, as if the abs is activated. This has occurred when the vehicle was started and just backing up, to just after leaving and making the first brake application, and after several hours or minutes of driving. During this time it appears that the vehicle will not stop normally. Pumping of the brake pedal or momentarily hitting the brake hard cleared the problem. It doesn't matter if a gentle brake is applied or if you are slowing for a turn or braking for a red light or a stop. This occurs sometimes several days in a row or nearly so. But most often it is isolated and then does not occur for a period of time. Although it appears to be recurring more frequently. This has in occurred in all types of weather conditions from dry to wet. This has occurred at varying speeds whether in the driveway, in a residential area or on the highway.

Driving at approx 35 mph on dry pavement. I approached a 2 way intersection with one stop sign. Traction control light illuminated and vehicle would not stop. Brakes were pumped multiple times with no change. Vehicle went through stop sign and off the road eventually coming to a stop naturally without the assistance of the brakes. Vehicle was placed in park and traction control light went off. Brakes were then pressed again and brake pressure was felt. If a vehicle would have been coming though the intersection a serious crash could have occurred.
