NHTSA complaint #11517127, filed 2023-04, 76,200 miles“My concern is the repeated failure of the front wheel speed sensors rendering the ABS system and Traction Control System inoperable. The Speed Sensors failed as follows: 1.) 2015 at 9,474 Miles 2.) 2020 at 26,293 Miles 3.) 2022 at 30,281 Miles The vehicle has extremely low miles for the repeated failures to have occurred.
