The ABS harness that clips to the backing plate is coming unclipped on the back plate while making a sharp left hand turn. Its hitting the lower A-frame and coming unclipped. I know this because, my husband is a mechanic, it became unclipped and wrapped around the C.V shaft and tore the clamp off the outer boot and grease went everywhere.

The contact stated while pressing the brake on ice the vehicle revved and then slid through intersections. This occurs only on icy roads and caused the brakes to pump when the anti lock brakes activated. The dealership and the manufacturer have not been contacted.
