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…
