Consumer Description

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND MY BRAKES STUTTERED AND SEEMED AS IF THEY LOCKED UP. IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY BRAKE,ABS,VSC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. MINUTES LATER THEY TURNED OFF BUT SINCE THEN KEEP COMING ON AND GOING OFF. THE ROADS WERE VERY DRY NO RAIN OR SNOW CONDITIONS. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR THE TIME BEING BEFORE THEY CAN GET ME INTO LOOK AT IT. $120 TO DIAGNOSE IT AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH AFTERWARDS. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS WITH ONLY 80 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. I AM VERY UPSET FOR HOW MUCH I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ON THIS CAR. I ONLY DRIVE IT TO WORK AND HOME WITH THE OCCASIONAL ERRANDS. IS IT WORTH SHELLING OUT ANOTHER $1000. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A RECALL. *TR
