A friend has a '95 Camry with ABS that activates every time the car slows to about 3-4 mph. It feels like it's suddenly sliding on gravel. Very unnerving!
Other friends have occasionally had the ABS on their vehicles activate needlessly at much higher speeds, without warning. Then the system resumes functioning normally when the vehicle gets to the repair-shop.
As I buy used vehicles long past warranty, I have no desire to gamble on aged or neglected electronic safety technology. I'm adding SBC to my 'to avoid' list.

Happy Motoring, Mark
