Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After the "abs" warning light came on, the car was taken to a dealer who after a few days of investigation said that "mm needs electric hcu harness and module" with an estimated cost of $1500 to repair. it seems that a wiring harness should last more that 3 years, espically on a braking system. ford offered to pick up 50% of the repair, but the premature failure of the abs system seems to be a design defect that should be ford's responsibility to repair. form completed by frank p frandina (owner's father) - day phone 716 632 7200
