Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Took 2001 suburban in november 2005 to wilton chevrolet, wilton, ct, for gm abs brake recall, fixing brake terminals for possible corrosion in northeastern states. dec. 05 - october 2006 abs dashboard light would come on sporadically for short time and then go off with no reasoning. from august - october 2006 abs light would come on more frequently. after taking the vehicle to local repair shop they hooked up to computer and found vault code with abs module, ($99.00 charge), but said that i would have to take to gm dealer to replace abs module because they could not reset the computer code when the module is replaced. took vehicle to arroway chevrolet in katonah, ny and they replaced the abs module after also finding the same computer code vault. $1,300.00 repair cost. i have suspicion that when the abs brake recall repair was done that a short happened to the abs module causing it to eventually fail. *nm
