Abs module goes out which shuts off abs, traction control, and cruise control, and you can’t get the part anywhere except for third party refurbished. In Pennsylvania I can’t get inspection when red warning brake light is on.
While driving my ABS light brake light and throttle light came on when I took in for a diagnostic said ABS module is bad called dealer can’t get anymore. It’s not safe to drive now I’m out of vehicle.
the Electronic power steering assist keeps going in and out. it will work fine for about three months then it goes out for a month or so. it is very hard to steer and could cause someone to lose control and crash.
