[QUOTE="SunRider, post: 1341975, member: 86526"] I've practiced a few ABS stops, front and rear, in a dirt parking lot, on my FJR after its two year fluid change. Seems to function as I imagined, and might save the day during a straight-up emergency braking event. So I will keep & maintain this ABS. However, just having an ABS does not assure safer operation. The concept is great, but how it is engineered & programmed is key. The ABS functionality on my 4Runner is terrible. I have had the brake pedal go to the floor in a situation where I was braking hard on a good surface that dropped off into dirt. And there are other warts there too.... When the '92 Corvette came supplied with 'Traction Control' and ABS, many of the autocrossers cried it was unfair. The criers envisioned perfect performance. Soon, many vet drivers had turned off the Traction Control and installed a blown fuse into the ABS, as the programming favored total safety over performance. Sooo, I understand where the OP is coming from; He has a failing ABS; How might it fail next ? [/QUOTE]
