I just received my new issue on 'DRIVE' by subaru.
In it was an article on the anti-lock brake system used by Subaru.
It stated that Subaru uses a 4 channel system that unlocks only the
wheel that slips, but my 2000 RS2.5 unlocks the brakes on all 4 wheels
when only one wheel slips.
I sent an e-mail to subaru asking if they had issued a recall to
update the ABS system in my car as I can't drive it as it came from
the factory. I have to remove the ABS fuse so the brakes will work
when the road has any ice on it. It has only been 2 1/2 days and
Subaru hasn't answered my e-mail yet.
The 'drive' magazine did say that ABS was intended to improve steering
more than reduce stopping distance. But often I need to stop more than
steer, especialy when there is nowhere to steer to.
Anyone else find that they have a subaru that turns off the brakes to
all 4 wheels only one of them is sliping?
And did you read in 'drive' that the ABS doesn't work that way?
