ABS light on on other Sorento years
No other Sorento model year has enough reports of ABS light on for a sheet of its own. See every Sorento year.
What this problem usually is
This is the narrower sheet inside brake problems for the anti-lock brake (ABS) warning light. What separates it from the wider brake sheet is that most owners here aren't describing worn pads or grinding. They're describing a light, and often a list of features that quit along with it.
What got replaced
Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 26 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
