SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY RAV-4 IS WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE ABS LIGHT THE TRACTION CONTROL, THE BRAKE LIKE. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE ABS MODULE. I AM BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS PRIOR TO LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT HAVE TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE THE ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO REASON SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING STILL AT A RED LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATE THAT NOTHING IS GOING ON. *TR
