Default Friggin brakes acting up funny down the hill.... gave me a scare...
was going down the hill on the way back home going at probably 10 mph..I'm in NY so a little ice/snow... started hitting the breakes15 to20 meters from the stopsign and the pedal kept pushing back towards me.... I'm glad I was going slow... and when I had told this to the dealer last month they were (of course) that's normal bull****.... boy they r gona get it now!!

Just experienced this for the first time a couple weeks ago. Unlike other ABS systems for sure

Default The car was not even stopping until I pulled the hand brakes....
I don't think it's the ABS.

Default The last thing I was looking at was the dash. As soon as it snows here, am going to "test" the
system again in a controlled enviroment to see if the light flashes.
