“I have been the owner of this vehicle for three years . I purchased this vehicle from a dealership in richmond at that time it had 34k miles. I am not a person that drive fast or ride my brakes, so I find it very disturbing that something as major as the ABS braking system should have to be replaced this soon. The problem I incurred was that the ABS light would not go out even after following the instructions in the manuel. I then took it to be checked out as the book stated. Ihad to have the ABS value assemble replaced and I feel that this should be invistigated. …”
