Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2002 mitsubishi montero with 43,000 mile the abs control module just all of a sudden went out. there was no problems, just backed up in jan 1, 2006 and noticed the light was on. i looked in the manual about the problem and did what it said but the light remained on. i took it took a local tire and brake company but they couldn't get the light to go off, so i took it to a dealership and they told me the abs control module had gone out. the cost of this part is $900. the service manager at the dealership told me to contact mitsubishi because he has never seen this problem happen before. i did and they told me that there was nothing they could do since the 36,000 mile warranty was up. i think this sucks, because it is apparent that this part must have been defective since it is one that no one could tell me that they had complaints about. i will tell you one thing this is the only mitsubishi product i will ever own. *jb
