157000 mi ABS and stability control lights intermittently on. Computer control module found faulty. Decided not to repair. 
167000 mi ABS module never repaired. The car had 160++k miles on it and worth a pittance at auction due to all the issues. Couldn't ethically sell the car private party, so we just dumped it at the dealer as a $500 trade in so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
