“My tires slipped in the snow in march, very light snow. Not sure of the exact date. My brake light, ABS light and traction control light came on. A few days later they went off. Now all three are on most of the time even on clear, dry pavement. My anti lock brakes are not activating correctly and I was told that the senor is bad. I looked online and noticed this is a problem with this particular make and model. The car does not stop as it should. …”

“Rear wheel passenger side out of alignment and can't be fixed. Top side leans inward. Car never been in accident and it has always had a problem of wear on that tire side.
