Loss of Breaks when backing...
I have a '95 with rear wheel ABS.
I constantly lose my breaks while backing when I hit the breaks a few times. Parallell parking is the worst - stop, reverse into the stall, forward a little, then reverse again, then forward a little more, then reverse into final position. Also when backing a trailer into a long narrow drive way if I have to reposition the alignment a few times.
When the breaks go, I can push the pedal all the way to the floor and have to push very hard just to get it to grab any stopping power. It feels like there's no pressure in the pedal. This is especially dangerous with a heavy trialer behind because even when the pedal is completely to the floor I have to gradually roll to a sliding stop.
I know you're not supposed to pump ABS breaks. But gimme a break, just backing into a drive way - sometimes never taking my foot off of the break pedal applying more then sometimes less pressure while letting the idle do the fueling?????
This is rediculous!
Is this normal and I have to live with it? OR is there someting I can do? In my opinion, something is wrong/broke/malfunctioning. I've never been in another vehicle that's done this.
What's up with this?
