| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Prior to dealer visit for 60,000 mile service, the abs and tracs lights began coming on periodically. dealer checked and found codes abs-314 & 324 set in system. dealer stated that module replacement would cost approximately $675. dealer said that although the lights indicated loss of abs, braking ability should not be compromised. at that time i declined the repair. since that service visit, the lights have continued to go on and off periodically; on several occasions, it occured during braking and it felt as though the brakes were not going to grab appropriately, if only momentarily. i am now wondering if this is a safe condition, especially with the onset of winter driving. when i saw the number of other complaints on the same issue at the nhtsa website, i decided i should include my own. my suggestions for remediation range from: 1) have the manufacturer investigate the issue further, 2) have the manufacturer replace all modules that are reported to have this problem, or 3) at least have the manufacturer assist the customer by paying a portion of the replacement cost. *ak |
