What owners wrote
The car has ABS. The ABS system doesn't work and the ABS light constantly comes on and then the traction control activates and causes problems with steering and stopping the car.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 30 MPH in dry road conditions, the ABS light illuminated when the brake pedal was depressed. Also, the brake pedal went to the floorboard, and stopping distance was increased. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop who performed a diagnostic, but could not determine the problem. The brake pads were replaced, but the problem recurred 5 months later while traveling 30 MPH. The dealership was contacted, but never returned a call.
