I bought my '03 Explorer 3 months ago and it had 38,000 miles on it. It now has 42,000 miles on the odometer. My ABS light came on for the first time during a long 5 hour drive and remained on for the rest of the trip. Since then, it has come back on several times. Sometimes it stays on, other times it will go away on its own. I got a 5 year 100,000 full warranty when I bought it. Should a problem such as this be covered under the warranty?

ABS Light stays on because Ford used a poor quality sensor for the ABS system. The ABS Light still on. My car have 51,700 miles now and the brakes still good. But it will be fixed one day!!!!!!!!!

The ABS light keeps coming on. Ford says "We are aware of the problem. Try erasing the computer and resetting the code." Thanx for pretty much nothing!

This is the second time it happened. First was when mileage is at 34,000 and still under warranty. Now I don't know how much it will cost me?
