Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Traction control system failed on my vehicle. the failure turned off my anti-lock brake system and my traction control system at two inopportune times. this failure has twice in the past few months. it first occurred at the end of december during a snow storm. the second failure occurred a few weeks ago while driving through a rain and hail storm. both times the vehicle was taken to the dealership to be fixed. the dealer replaced a faulty speed sensor. my car is about a year old and two speed sensor have already failed. i'm upset at the fact that we purchased the car based on its safety features and twice now they have failed, as i mentioned earlier, at the most inopportune moments, where we were relying heavily on said safety features. *nm
