Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Original abs system failed in fall of 1998 and was replaced with a rebuilt master cylinder/abs assembly at a cost of $2900. 14 months and 16000 miles later, this assembly failed as well. the latest failure resulted in numerous "attempts" on the part of the dealership to repair the system, putting the car back on the road, only to fail again. two failures nearly resulted in accidents, on avoided by driving the car off the roadway. repaired system is currently functioning consistently well. i may be contacted directly for further information if it would be helpful. i understand this is a common, and expensive problem on this vehicle as i have learned. thanks for your attention to this matter. douglas s. herbert (919) 682-3411. *ak
