SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY TO MAKE A U-TURN. THERE WAS A SLIGHT BUMP (ABOUT HALF THE HEIGHT OF A SPEED BUMP) AT THE START OF THE DRIVEWAY. I GUESS THE BUMP ACTIVATED THE ABS BECAUSE AFTER I CAME TO A FULL STOP THE PEDAL WENT HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE, DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND ABOUT 40 MPH AND MODERATELY BRAKING ON BUMPY SURFACES. THE ABS KICK IN AND IT FEEL LIKE THE CAR ISN'T SLOWING AT ALL. I HAVE TO RELEASE THE BRAKE AND APPLY IT AGAIN TO STOP. ALL INCIDENTS WERE ON DRY ROADS.*AK
