Consumer Description

ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN RAINING OR CAR IS WASHED, SERVICE DEPT. STATED THAT WATER IS ENTERING THE BRAKE COMPUTER, AFTER IT DRIES OUT, THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKES START WORKING CORRECTLY. SERVICE PERSONEL STATED THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE ENTIRE COST (APP. $480.) TO REPLACE THE UNIT. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IF THE ANTILOCK BRAKES (OR AIRBAGS) BECAME DEFECTIVE, BECAUSE IT IS SAFETY EQUIPMENT, THAT THE MANUFACTURER MUST REPLACE OR FIX AT NO COST IF THE DEFECT WAS NOT DUE TO A CRASH. *AK
