WHILE TRYING TO STOP ON SLIPPERY SURFACES 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES MY ABS IS NON EXISTENT AND MY WHEELS LOCK UP I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN DECEMBER 2009. LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ON A ICY SNOW COVERED ROAD. I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS STOPPING. I GAVE THE PEDAL MORE PRESSURE AND I STARTED TO FISHTAIL ALMOST COLLIDING WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THE NEXT STOP SIGN I CAME TO ABS WORKED FINE. AFTER THAT MY WHEELS LOCKED UP. THIS VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE JOKE. ALSO NOTE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH GOOD SNOW TIRES. *TR
