While driving at 35 MPH on a dry single lane paved road, I unavoidably ran my infiniti qx4 SUV over a tree branch in the road. The tree branch briefly became entangled under the vehicle and then was expelled. Once the tree branch was released, my ABS light came on. I took my vehicle to my inifiniti dealer who put the vehicle on a lift.
There was a severe pulsation in the rear of the vehicle when the brake were applied. The dealership serviced the vehicle over 20 times.
