“2011 Hyundai tuscon speed sensor wires located behind tires. Wire is fully exposed to any road debris, easily severed which effects ABS and traction control. Wire sticks out 3 inches in open air of the under carriage, also located close enough to the tires that if they kick up any debris it is in the direct path of the wire. Not heavy duty rap over the wire and could be broken by gripping by hand and pulling on it.”
