RH rear wheel speed sensor went bad - caused confusion in ABS, Traction Control, Transmission, and starter computer interfaces. Replacing sensor fixed all issues. Car runs perfectly again.

US $215
Front wheel speed sensor. A bad front sensor turns on the ABS light and disables the cruise control. A bad rear wheel speed sensor messes up the transmission brain and it won't go into gear. If that happens, just give up and have the car towed for repair.

Wheel speed sensors are the only issue it has ever had. After dealer $200+ speed sensor replacements, when the third one went out, I consulted YouTube. One little bolt and a plug-in connector to change out any of the four sensors. Did it myself for only $18 for the new sensor. Dealer won't get my money when the next one goes out!

Passenger side ABS sensors failed within 1-2 months. Front sensor failure caused cruise control to stop functioning. Apparently these sensors don't have a super long life and need replacement after enough thermocycles.
