ABS Control Module. Part ordered by warranty was used and ended up being defective. Second part on order. ABS, ESP and Brake lights all flash due to a communication problem with the module. Car still runs fine but it's annoying. Warranty refuses to buy new part. Keeps installing used parts. 3rd used module has been installed but the problem still exists. Faulty module means no ABS or traction control while driving. Problem ongoing for over a month. |
