SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
THE ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THE PAD/SHOES WERE REPLACED AT 72,000 MILES FOR THE SECOND TIME. I NOTICE ON THE FAQ SECTION THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE MANUAL INDICATES THE BRAKES WILL SELF ADJUST AND THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT. THE LIGHT GOES OUT BUT WITHIN A DAY IT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. DO YOU OR THE MANUFACTURER HAVE SUGGESTIONS ON A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM?
