| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Morrison auto group repaired rear brakes as they were stuck. after this repair the abs light, brake light, oil light came on blinking. the tachometer also zero's out. a warning noise also occurs. this happens intermittently. while this warning light is on the abs system is disabled. braking works but no abs available. i live in alaska and can't have my car without abs esp during critical times of braking. i have read on tech forums for this type of car that this is a widespread (more than a handful of cars). the exorbirant cost of this repair (as stated by others) for something that should not be failing within its lifetime. |
