Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Morrison auto group repaired rear brakes as they were stuck. After this repair the abs light, brake light, oil light came on blinking. The tachometer also zero's out. A warning noise also occurs. This happens intermittently. While this warning light is on the abs system is disabled. Braking works but no abs available. I live in alaska and can't have my car without abs esp during critical times of braking. I have read on tech forums for this type of car that this is a widespread (more than a handful of cars). The exorbirant cost of this repair (as stated by others) for something that should not be failing within its lifetime. |
