I have had nothing but issues with the brakes. I have replaced the ABS sensor twice. The brakes suddenly just go to the floor sometimes. Today I was driving mostly on highways then I got off and the ABS light came on. Then I saw smoke so I stopped and looked and there was a fire in the brakes area on my driver side front tire. There was flames shooting up 12 inches. After distinguishing the fire and letting the wheel cool off I took the tire off to inspect it and discovered that the ABS sensor caught on fire.
