Consumer Description

JUST RECENTLY, IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, THE ABS LIGHTS GO ON INTERMITTENTLY ON THE DASHBOARD, WARNING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID IT MAY NEED A NEW ECU OR COMPUTER MODULE, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE TO USE. HOWEVER, THE MANUAL SAYS WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON, THE ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE DISABLED... THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECALL, BUT NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED ANY ISSUE. IT SEEMS STRANGE FOR A CAR WITH 68,000 MILES TO HAVE THIS GO OUT - WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT A COVERED ITEM BEFORE PAYING $ 1,400 FOR A NEW PART. THANK YOU. *TR
