Consumer received NHTSA recall 04v131000 concerning abs brake failure. On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with 3. 5 liter v-6 engines, 4-wheel drive and antilock braking systems (abs), if the brake pedal is depressed at speeds between 3 and 12 mph when the brake pad friction surfaces are wet, a vibration may occur between the brake discs and pads, causing abs sensor electronic signal noise to develop. At speeds below 5 mph, the abs sensor signal noise may cause the abs electronic control unit (ecu) to activate the abs, extending the stopping distance. This recall failed, dealer inspected the vehicle several times, but problem recurred.
