| Sometimes the abs brakes seem to actuate even though the road is dry and the brakes are not applied hard. the rate of abs application seems much less than normal, 2-3/sec rather than the normal 10/sec. the stopping distance is increased so that there is an increase in chance for an accident. i have disconnected the abs so that the brakes act normally but without the benefit of abs which may be ok for the summer but having abs on icy winter roads will be crucial to avoiding accidents.*ak | |||
