Consumer Description

THE ABS, BRAKE AND OIL LIGHT ALL COME ON (OIL WILL FLASH) WITH SPORADIC IRREGULARITIES IN THE TACHOMETER. THE TACHOMETER WILL SOMETIMES DROP TO ZERO. ALL THIS HAPPENS WITH 3 DISTINCT BEEPS WHENEVER I USE THE BRAKES. COLDER TEMPERATURES CAN LESSEN THE OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAYS THAT THE ABS MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3600. I HAVE NOT YET APPROVED THE REPAIR ON THE CAR. *NM
