PE94038 ;ABS brake system failure. The front disc brake sensor did not make warning sound to alert driver to check brake system. Therefore, one of the brake pads stuck to the brake cylinder which wore the cylinder down. Owner had problem corrected at brake shop. Owner also notified the dealer and the manufacturer about the brake problem.
