What owners wrote

At slow braking speeds {at 5 MPH} the ABS brakes go off every time you stop. When coasting through a parking lot at 5 MPH, when the brakes go off they lock up and they do not let go. When they lock up, and your cannot stop or control the braking, you run into the cars parked in front of me. My wife will not drive this vehichle any more because she cannot control the stopping. I removed the fuses that control the ABS braking so that I can control my braking.
