Replying to: smt1 (May 11, 2006 2:05 am) I finally concluded it had to do with the regen braking, and/or the engine cycling, and decided not to worry about it. I worry even less now that I know my car is not the only one.... |

If it is sliding then something is wrong with the anti-locking brakes. Personally I hate them as it seems when you need the brakes on any car the most they don't stop. Trucks are a real problem. |

Replying to: bvisailman1 (May 19, 2006 7:50 pm) "It has nothing to do with brakes failing or tires...You were on wet pavement, the car is light and I am willing to bet when you tried to stop The car hydroplaned on the wet road. You may have been going a bit fast for the conditions. Remember the car weighs about 1,000 pounds lighter than a normal midsize car. " I was driving well under the speed limit. I've had the car over a year and have driven before in the rain, it has hydroplaned before (much more than in any other car actually), but this is not what it was that day. The next time it rains, I will test it out and see if it does it again. And I'm use to light cars, I've always had a compact car. Thanks for your input.
