SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS INFORMED BY SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL ABS CONTROLLER FAILURES. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE($800+)PART TO REPLACE AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE A HIGH VOLUME OF FAILURES. THE ABS SYSTEM DETECTED THE FAILURE BEFORE I STARTED TO DRIVE. THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE PERMITS THE CONTROLLER TO CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN WITH THE KEY TURNED OFF. IT ONLY STOPS WHEN POWER IS REMOVED BY CRAWLING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. IF LEFT RUNNING THE MODULE GETS HOT TO THE TOUCH AND EVENTUALY RUNS DOWN THE BATTERY.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABS SYSTEM HAS BEEN FAILING SINCE THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ABS ENGAGES WHEN BRAKING ON ROUGH SURFACES CAUSING VEHICLE TO COAST AND NOT COME TO A STOP. WHEN ABS IS ENGAGED NO CONTROL OF BRAKING OR STEERING IS AVAILABLE. NOW ON 10/10/01 I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD VIBRATING. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND THE VIBRATIONS CONTINUED. I CALLED THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER AT MARQUART AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THAT I NEEDED TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE ABS OR IT WOULD DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE SERVICE TECH SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN QUITE A BIT AND REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED. WELL NOW I HAVE NO ABS AND IT IS OVER $1,000 TO FIX. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER.*AK
