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?
