: updated 10/17/2006 - the vehicle wheel sensor failed due to corrosion on the ABS sensors. This caused the ABS to active while braking at low speeds, less than 5 mph.

This failure has caused the consumer to hit his garage door while pulling into his driveway. The consumer has pulled the fuse on the ABS system.
