Consumer Description

THE ABS LIGHT WAS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER CONSULTING THE WEB I LEARNED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 98 S70'S. VOLVO IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM! WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CONDITION I NOTICED IF THE ABS PUMP CYCLED AND THE LIGHTS COME ON YOU LOSE BRAKING UNLESS YOU PUMP THE BRAKES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR A MANY DRIVERS. I'M A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AND MY TRAINING HELPED ME AVOID THE ACCIDENT. *NLM
