Consumer Description

RANDOMLY, BUT WITH INCREASING REGULARITY, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AND STAY LIT. ONLY WAY TO "CORRECT" ISSUE IS TO TURN OFF VEHICLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME(MORE THAN 10 MINUTES) AND THEN START UP AGAIN. NO "NOTICEABLE" EFFECTS OCCUR WHEN LIGHTS COME ON, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD TO "USE" THE ABS SYSTEM AS IT IS SUMMERTIME AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE OPTIMAL FOR BRAKING. ALSO, NOT SURE IF IT'S RELATED BUT, RECENTLY USED THE PARKING BRAKE AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS "FULLY RELEASED" INSIDE THE VEHICLE.....THE REAR BRAKES APPEAR TO STILL BE LOCKED DUE TO THE FACT OF VISUAL EVIDENCE OF SMOKE AND ACCOMPANYING BURNING SMELL AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY DISTANCE. *TR
