| 73000 mi | One Saturday, my wife started the car and got a zillion lights: Check engine, ABS failure, Advanctrac failure, and others. No brakes at all, pedal went all the way to the floor. I went there (20 miles) to investigate, discovered low brake fluid, and added some. With this we were able to limp it home slowly to the dealer. Brakes were unreliable, but the pedal would pump up enough to stop the car. Monday morning the dealer called to say the ABS unit was bad, and possibly another module but they'd need to replace the ABS module to be able to tell. Diagnostics showed 8-10 trouble codes including fatal failure of the ABS module. Luckily, our warranty still had about 2 weeks left, so it was covered. The other suspected module (HCU??) tested OK once the ABS was replaced. Shop time was 2-1/2 days. |
