What owners wrote
Driving 65 MPH w/cruise control on; vehicle started drifting left, off road, put brakes on, but to no avail; vehicle spun around & went right; hit post; air bag did not deploy; vehicle went up post then landed on roof.
ABS light comes on at random times, usually during a turn, but no adverse conditions occur. When diagnosed, it was stated that the speed sensor was bad. I have had both front speed sensors replaced about 3-4 times under warranty, and since the warranty has run out, I just deal with the light. I just brought it in for this problem about 6 weeks ago, and again the computer diagnostics said that it was a speed sensor. This problem has existed since I bought the car. *nlm
