“I had ABS failure light on aug 27th, 2013. When I checked with my friend, I found out he has the same issue in his car. We both purchased the same type of cars from the same dealer in april 2008. The warranty expired just a few months ago. The timing of the issue is puzzling to me. How come both cars have ABS system failure during the same week?”

My sister was in the front seat. My mother had abrasions from the seat belt and severe bruises to the chest from the air bag. My sister had bruising to her ribs and her leg was cut, which resulted in 5 stitches.”
