What owners wrote
During brake applilcation, pedal went to the floor, no response from anti lock braking system. Causing driver to hit side of gas station.
Beginning about a year ago, have had intermittent hard pedal when braking. Occurs rarely, without warning. No ABS light seen but suspect possible ABS malfunction. Pedal does not pulsate but a faint growling, grinding, or buzzing noise is heard. May be ABS motor cycling. During failure brakes are barely operative. Usually returns to normal operation after 2-3 pedal presses. Sometimes pulls sharply left, occasionally right, on brake application. There is no loss of power steering.
