The brakes failed to stop the car on a rocky off-road mountain public access road.

Just bought this vehicle, 1 day after owning it abs and no traction control light comes on and there's a rumble in the brake pedal. My husband is a mechanic, so he put new brakes and rotors on and cleaned wheel sensors. Took it to sears and had new tires put on and wheel alignment and balance done. 2 days later i've got the same lights on and rumble in pedal. Ran fine for those 2 days. I've read way to many…
