Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 SAAB 9-3 IN FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES FOR AN ABS/TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY CONTROL FAILURE. EACH TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TELL ME THAT THE COST IS AROUND $385 FOR A HUB ASSEMBLY, NO LABOR INCLUDED. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE WIRE LEADING TO THE WHEEL CORRODES. NOW MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WANT TO PUT IN A REAR HARNESS FOR THE SAME SYSTEM AND WANT TO CHARGE ME $315 JUST FOR THE PART, DOESN'T INCLUDE LABOR. THIS PART HAS BEEN FOUND FOR AROUND $120 ELSEWHERE. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AS THE CAR ACTS AS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ANIMAL WHEN IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN 40 DEGREES F OR LOWER. *TR
