Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Abs brake unit failed at 60k miles; all service was done at dealer. dozens and dozens of owners have reported this to nhtsa for exact same make and model. nhts seems powerless to take on this issue. how many deaths will it take to get some action? volvo dealers and ford know well the problem -- just count the cash they are making on the replacements, and then multiply by 10 because most are not willing to pay $1,000 for a $200 part. *nm
