Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ONE NIGHT AND THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING BY ITSELF. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHICH IS THE WHOLE CLOCKSPRING. THEY TOLD ME THE SENSOR IS SAYING I'M AT A 42 DEGREE ANGLE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHT. THE ANGLE OF THE SENSOR SHOULD BE 0-15 DEGREES. BECAUSE OF THIS IT'S TELLING THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM THAT I'M ABOUT TO FLIP CAUSING THE BRAKES TO APPLY BY THEMSELVES. I'M NOT ABLE TO DRIVE OVER 20MPH WITHOUT IT ACTIVATING THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT REPAIRED SO I HAD TO DISABLE THE WHOLE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM UNTIL I HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT.
