| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The abs and brake lights on my dashboard initially flashed and beeped intermittently, but now are on constantly. upon researching the issue, i've discovered that this is a problem experienced my many other my2000 s4 owners. this is a significant safety issue, as there is the risk that brakes may lock up (even when releasing the pedal) under braking when experiencing these symptoms. please take action on this issue. i know many owners who have no choice but to hold off on the repair due to the amount being charged by dealers to replace the part (~$1700.00), even though the most likely culprit of the problem is wiring between the controller and the ecu (<$1.00). *jb |
