| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Anti-lock brakes fail. warning light and buzzer come on. dealer said it would cost $2800 to fix. after telling dealer that 99% of abs failures is the abs electronics module, and not the abs pump, dealer offered to replace module for $600. i feel this is a wide spread problem, as this problem is noted by many people on the internet. in addition, it has been reported that people have been disconnecting their warning light to be able to sell their car. this could be a big problem for the next buyer who doesn't know their abs isn't working. *jb |
