“I purchased a new 2012 harley davidson at a harley davidson dealership in corith, tx. Soon after found that the ABS light was coming on. I had taken it back to them to have them check it. Still had issues and had them look again. I've had issues with it since. Also took it to harley davidson dealership in sherman, tx. They had it for about two weeks. They said they replaced a wire. Still having issues told them about it several times. Little over a week ago I had a wreck in a turn because my back tire kept locking up and skidding. I had a friend following me that seen it. …”
