Consumer Description

BRAKE LIGHT (E-BRAKE) AND ABS LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. THIS EITHER CAUSE THE ABS TO DISABLE OR NOT DEPENDING ON WHICH MECHANIC I TALK TO. TWO MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT THIS, AND RECENTLY I WAS DENIED AN EMISSIONS TEST DUE TO THIS (NON-EMISSION RELATED) PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL WEBSITES, THIS IS SLATED AS A _VERY_ COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED... THE DEALER WANTS OVER $1000 TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THIS PROBLEM THAT IF NOT RESOLVED, RESULTS IN INTERMITTENT ABS, OR FIRE. *TR
