While driving, suddenly ABS indicator, ESC off indicator and "ABS system failure" message on dashboard showed up and had to make emergency stop since all of these scared me. Also scared me that vehicle's ABS and stability control stop working. - after started driving slowly - some noise from front wheels were coming. Went to dealer and told us that issue with "wheel speed sensor" and "tone wheel" damaged.. Why these sensors are exposed to road and damaged suddenly that make safety issue during driving and may have caused accident.
I had ABS failure light on aug 27th, 2013. When I checked with my friend, I found out he has the same issue in his car. We both purchased the same type of cars from the same dealer in april 2008. The warranty expired just a few months ago. The timing of the issue is puzzling to me. How come both cars have ABS system failure during the same week?
