“The ABS system started to fail in november, when coming to a stop the vehicles ABS system would fail and lock the power steering causing the vehicle to pull to the left. I did contact the dealer and my vehicle was not listed on the recall list. Because of its age is not covered under warranty. The problem is worst during a storm when the roads are covered with snow and during rain storms.”
