The abs brakes on my 2005 toyota rav4 do not grab properly on uneven surfaces. they seem to try to slow down rather than stop, especially after hitting a pothole, or being on bumpy road. i almost ended up in the middle of an intersection on two separate occasions. *tr
There are times when the brakes would not engage. the speed was always relatively low (30 miles/hour or less). i never knew when it would happen, so i never reported it because it was non-repeatable. it happened every few months. i can't put incident dates since it was recurring, but i need to fill that in, so i'll fill it in with the last time it happened. *tr
