1999 TOYOTA CAMRY — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY UPON BRAKING WITH NO IMPENDING SKID RESULTING IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE AND DOG BEING STRUCK. PAVEMENT WAS DRY AND I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE ACCIDENT IF THE CAR DID NOT HAVE OVERLY SENSITIVE ABS BRAKES. I COMPAINED TO THE SELLING DEALER ABOUT THIS WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL AND NOT A PROBLEM. THE ABS HAS ACTIVATED ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T HAVE CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL BUT NO ACCIDENT. ABS SHOULD BE REPROGRAMMED TO ONLY ACTIVATE WHEN THERE IS AN IMPENDING WHEEL LOCKUP. *AK
