ABS activates on slight roughness. Sudden stops on 2 occasions caused the ABS to activate and the pedal to suddenly fall almost to the floor. The master cylinder was replaced once, but it happened again. The caliper froze on one wheel ruining the rotor. In general, this vehicle isn't safe to operate despite the fact it is in otherwise like-new condition.
