| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My '96 volvo 855 has intermittent abs failure. the abs light goes off intermittently. the car has 123,000 miles. after a brief search on the internet i found that this was too common problem with abs control module. it seems that volvo does not admit it as a systematic problem and there is no recall campaign (that i know of). just volvo dealers making a lot of money to diagnose the problem and installing the new abs control modules. it is irresponsible to let many volvo cars with either failing abs system or charge hundreds for the repair of a badly designed system. *la |
