Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I think this is ridiculous that the 60,000 dollar bmw 5 series with dsc and abs continually have abs control module failures. the part is obviously a design flaw and the company should be forced to repair or replace units free of charge. this is obviously a safety issue since the module failure causes the traction control and abs to fail. this is common in model years 98,99,and 2000. *nm
