While driving ABS warning alarm chime came on, and the warning light illuminated on the dashboard. Also, brake pads and rotors were continuously replaced because of excessive wear. This was as a result of ABS module sensor failure.

Rotors are of poor quality and too small for vehicle. They heat up and eventually prematurely warp, causing steering wheel to vibrate upon braking. After the front brake pads were worn out and were replaced, the vehicle started to vibrate severely and the steering wheel started shaking. The rotor also warped.
