While driving on snow as brakes were applied the ABS kicked in and the vehicle slid. At that point all brake pressure at the pedal was lost and failed to return. Braking required full engaging pedal and had little to no pressure. About 2 days later all brake pedal pressure returned. Since this incident, anytime I have to brake hard the same issue happens, and has come close to causing a collision on several occasions. It also happens when brakes are engaged and the right front passenger wheel hits a bump. Each time this happens all brake pressure at the pedal is lost, however after about 2 days it is fine again.

Driving the car earlier today and hit a small bump and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, like it has several times before. This time when it happened the brake are not returning to normal, always before when this happened the brake pedal would return to normal in a day or two. What really concerns me is all of the complains on line but no recall yet??? This is very alarming. I'm not sure what to do with the car, all I seem to be able to find on line are used ABS pumps and a used part seems like a bad idea. *tr
