THE ABS IN MY VEHICLE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING OR PRODUCING AN ERROR CODE. OTHER OWNERS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE TOLD ME OF HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN OF NO HELP.

I CAN NOT, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, SELL THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT, KNOWING THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE ANOTHER ACCIDENT WITH IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO ANSWER AS TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ABS.
