SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
AFTER WE TOOK OUR 92 CAPRICE IN FOR OIL CHANGE ON OCT. 22 WITH COMPLIMENTARY CHECK OF THE BRAKES AT DEALER, WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED THE BRAKES REPLACED, ESPECIALLY THE BACK ONES, WITH THE FRONT ONES NEEDING REPLACEDMENT IN A FEW MONTHS. GOING HOME THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON & STAYED ON. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT HAD GONE ON WHILE DRIVING. WE STOPPED THE CAR & LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT AFTER BEGAN DRIVING LIGHT WENT BACK ON & STAYED ON. WE TOOK CAPRICE TO DEALER & THEY CHECKED IT & REPORTED THAT WE NEEDED A MODULATOR VALVE AT A COST OF $1400, PLUS LABOR. THEY SAID THE MOTOR IN IT HAS WORN OUT. IS THIS A DEFECTIVE PART? THEY SAID THE RECALL FOR ABS WAS FOR LEAKY FLUID, NOT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.
