1 Brake Antilock Control Unit/module problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2009

When braking, any small bump, particularly on wet surfaces, causes braking to cut out for a second or two, and the car does not decelerate as fast. Added pressure is required to engage the regular brakes to resume the same stopping level. This non-linear stopping characteristic causes increased stopping distances and loss of control in braking (at least for a second or two). This seems to be caused by the regenerative braking cutting out when the anti-lock system engages momentarily.
