| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The volvo abs / trac control module is failing at an abnormally high rate. local dealership replaces in excess of 5 of these per month. volvo corporate office will not acknowledge any problem with this safety device, and otherwise refuses to discuss the high rate of failures. other research, including a high demand for non-dealer acquired abs computer modules in the aftermarket industry strongly suggests that those units installed in vehicles are failing at an abnormally high rate. in my 1998 v70 wagon the abs & trac off indicators (warning lamps) randomly light. as a result the safety offered by the abs brake system becomes disabled over long periods of time. every potential cause has been ruled out except for the abs computer module (abs / trac control module). this safety issue needs to be addressed by the nhtsa due to the impending risk to life that continued failures of this safety device will undoubtedly bring. |
