From delivery, abs and check engine light intermittantly stay on. El;ectrical system sometimes 'stumbles' and looses voltage... As if it is going to stall.. Then it corrects itself until the next time driving is very difficult at times due to poor front shock/spring setup.. Must fight to keep on road at times. I have had to place 500 lb. Weight in rear to improve this somewhat.
