“Earlier in the week the ABS failure lights came on and then the brakes stopped working effectively. There is a backup residual braking of about 15%. I survived because I was not in traffic and did not need a serious stop. I had it fixed at the dealer on saturday. The lights were out and the brakes worked for about 4 on off cycles. Then they failed again driving down the road. It has been intermittent since. I then researched this problem on the internet and found it is rampant. People have been permanently disabled. Motorcycles have crashed over and over. …”
