After purchasing van, not even one month later all lights started to turn on engine, ABS now N and its a rear light on gauge panel also we are in the middle of trying to get decent price for the freeze plug which also needs to be replaced because there is a leak of coolant from the bottom of van. Other wise its ok to drive. One I thing I didn't mention is the seat its struck it wont move back or forward with the electrical button.

My ABS light has been on since I bought this car and now I am hearing about many other people with the same problem. Is it dangerous?

The ABS light periodically comes on. The brakes, for no reason, occasionally seem to go into ABS mode (and seems unrelated to the light being on or off). The brakes get softer and seem to pump. I've experienced real ABS working when braking in North East ice and snow. I'm now driving in the South and the braking seems pretty close to what I remember for actual ABS actuation. I replaced the master cylinder and had a complete fluid change but to no effect.
