Consumer Description

ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS FAIL NUMEROUS TIMES. ALWAYS WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AT ANY SPEED ON ANY SURFACE. FAILURE ALSO OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING (WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM PARK). THE DEALER HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY, SIMPLY FIXING IT FOR A FEW WEEKS AT A TIME. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ALWAYS FAIL AT PRECISELY THE SAME TIME. *AK
