Consumer Description

ISSUE MY ABS CONTROL BLOCK MOTOR OPERATED FOR 30-40 SECONDS RECENTLY WHILE TRAVELING AT 25-30 MPH WITH NO ABS/TRAX LITES ILLUMINATED. (BUZZING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD) BRAKES WERE VERY HARD WITH REDUCED STOPPING POWER DURING MOTOR OPERATION ON SLOWING TO 5 MPH. THE MOTOR STOPPED AND ABS/TRAX LITES ILLUMINATED WITH BRAKE FUNCTION RETURNING TO NORMAL. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE I CONSIDER THIS A RECALL ISSUE. ABS CONTROL FAILURE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY 850 OWNERS ON WWW.BRICKBOARD.COM. OBVIOUSLY UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A $600-700 REPAIR FOR AN ESSENTIAL SAFETY SYSTEM ON THIS CAR AND THIS SYSTEM SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. APPRECIATE YOUR HELP AND CONSIDERATION. DT
