ABS SENSOR , ELECTRICAL STABILITY CONTROL AND 4X4 WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. WE SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER. WE RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE FOR A COUPLE OF MILES WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE; THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE WAY TO CAR SLOWS DOWN UNWARRANTED. THE ABS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, MEANING THE ABS MAY NOT WORK IN AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON CAR FORUMS. WE HAD A MECHANIC WORK ON OURS AND THEY REPLACED THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND THE WHEEL BEARINGS; THIS FIXED THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS BUT IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN. ITS POSSIBLE THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE FOR ALL THE WHEELS???
