What owners wrote
On 5/25/18, ABS failed when brakes applied at around 30 MPH leading to a rear end crash on wet rainy road at a roundabout at jacaranda boulevard and east venice avenue, venice, fl.
The car had been parked in an unheated garage for more than 24 hours. I started it, put my foot on the brake pedal, and put it in gear (r). The car lunged back at a high rate of speed. My foot was still on the brake. To avoid hitting a vehicle behind it in the driveway, I shifted to drive (d) and the car immediately started forward still at a high rate of speed. The brakes did not slow the car down. I bumped the front wall of the garage and again shifted into r.
