In owners' own words
Anti-lock brakes regularly release/fail while braking and traveling over large bumps. An example: while braking downhill to make a right turn, I traveled over a large bump in the asphalt. The brakes disingaged even though I will still pressing on the peddle. I had to remove my foot and re-engage the brakes. This has happend to me for times, and is well known among late model Passport and rodeo owners. Service brakes, hydraulic
