THE ANTI LOCK BREAK AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS SPEED CONTROL IS DEACTIVATED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSORS, AS I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE REPLACED OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. MY ACCOUNT MANAGER MADE THE COMMENT TO JUST "REPLACE" ALL OF THEM AS THIS IS A REGULAR PROBLEM. THE COST IS EXCESSIVE, COMING IN AT $400 PER SENSOR. THE LIGHTS HAVE NOW COME ON A 3RD TIME, SO THE ACCOUNT MANAGER WAS RIGHT. THE DATE WAS AUGUST 26, 2020. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES, SO I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED.
