1 Brake Electric Antilock problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2005

Brake system operated normally for some time and then at or around 2/14/2005 I begun to experience in all weather conditions at slow speed stopping the abs would engage and over ride the normal braking system causing much longer stopping distances. It caused at least 10 near collisions with the car in front of me, and several times I swerved off the road to avoid contact. To correct the problem, I disabled the abs system by removing the abs fuse, this was suggested by a local tire and repair shop.
