#1 of 2 2007 Buick LaCrosse ABS system by carl33 Aug 22, 2007 (7:03 am)
I have a 2007 Buick LaCrosse. The other night my wife was driving home when a deer ran out in front of the car. She locked up the brakes and the car actually skidded sideways. I thought the ABS system was supposed to kick in and prevent the locking up of the brakes. I was told by my mechanic that the new ABS system only works if you pump the breaks. This doesn't sound right to me. Would anyone be able to advise if there is a problem with my ABS system. I suspect I do. Thanks Replies to this message: mrrogers (Aug 23, 2007 2:02 am)

Replying to: carl33 (Aug 22, 2007 7:03 am) I suspect that you do have a problem. I would file a report with the National Highway Transportation Safety Board, and then notify your Buick Service Manager that you have done so. Please document each of your visits to the dealer just in case you need to file a lemon law case to get the car replaced. You are correct that you should not pump the brakes on an ABS equipped car. You may need to find another dealer. Good luck!
