Consumer Description

ABS LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON DASHBOARD DURING WHICH TIME ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL DOES NOT OPERATE AT ALL. THIS OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED AND LASTS THE ENTIRE TIME THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS IN WARM WEATHER AROUND 95% OF THE TIME AND ABOUT 30% OF THE TIME WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING. APPEARS TO BE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE CONTROL MODULE OVERHEATING BUT I CANNOT CONFIRM THAT. HAVE HAD THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH REPLACED UNDER RECALL. DEALER INSPECTED BRAKE SYSTEM AT THE SAME TIME AND SAID THE CONTROL MODULE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1,000. I AM HESITANT TO SPEND THE MONEY AS I AM NOT SURE IF THE NEW CONTROL MODULE WILL HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. I WAS HOPING THE PREVIOUS RECALL WOULD SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT. WONDER IF THE TWO ISSUES ARE RELATED. *TR
