ABS - Is it working?
This might sound like a strange question but up until today I hadn't had the need to use my ABS so didn't think about it much. (trying to anticipate traffic flow has really made me pay attention)
Today on the way home however I was afforded the opportunity to try them out and now I have some doubts about them... They locked up and gave a horrendous barking from the tires when I had to do an emergency slam on the brakes. I was surprised because at most I was going 30 and I slide to a stop. Now I can see them locking up at high speeds but under 30? And I felt none of that subtle pumping feel like I do in my 2000 ZX2 under the same conditions. I realize that I have a lot more weight behind me in the FEH but it sure didn't feel right. Once I got to my street I tried it again at about 25 and the same darn thing... only I didn't see the neighbor in his yard and the noise made him swing around in a hurry. Oops! Any help or ideas? By the way no idiot lights lit up or are on while driving.
Other then this little incident today I absolutely love this Hybrid and I love educating my co-workers and friends about hybrids and why they are important while being FUN!
Thanks for your help all!
I can tell it's a girl 'cause she tells me where to turn.
