Abs brake system: the two front anti-lock sensor indicators-steel ring attached to the inside of the hubs-rotted out. This created a low votage output and cycled the ABS system increasing stopping distance on dry payment. When removed, the indicators were rotted to the extend that there were holes in the steel. Upon replacement, the ABS system worked as designed. A better material must be used if manufacturers are going to sell cars in areas where road salt is used. My 96 lincoln town car usually has the same failures.
