Yesterday afternoon I was driving to the store from work. I was traveling at about 30 mph approaching a light in the right-hand turn lane. As I depressed the brake pedal, it started pressing back as if the ABS was engaging. Oddly enough, the car I nearly rear-ended was an unmarked police car. In order to stop the my FJ, I had to overcome the resistance and stand on the pedal with all my strength.
After pulling into the store parking lot, I drove around for a couple minutes along the outer edge. I took the FJ up to 25+ mph and slammed on the brakes to try to cause the problem to resurface again (it didn't). I was able to cause the ABS to engage, but it did acted normally. The ABS didnt' engage until the wheels started to lock-up.
There was NO indicator on the dash alerting me to any malfunction. Due to this situation having occurred, I promptly drove to the dealership to have them diagnose the problem. It spent the night at the dealership, and will hopefully get the required attention today. I'll post whatever they find to be the problem.
Anyone ever had or heard of a problem with the ABS system on an '07 FJ having problems? Mine has approx 6500 miles, 6MT, no electronic or electric mods. I've got a truxxx leveling kit installed, and running BFG AT's (stock size). My FJ hasn't been in any crazy off-roading yet either.
TIA!
