What owners say
My vehicle started flashing, chiming, giving service ABS, service tc, service brakes messages, air bag indicator lit up,and turn signals started having longer and longer pauses between clicks at random times during a two week period. I took the vehicle for a computer diagnostic. I was notified everything indicated the instrument panel is the problem: the computer is not connecting to the various parts of the vehicle.
The ABS activates early when trying to stop at low speeds, there was a significant loss of breaking force when coming to a stop at low speeds. Abs and traction control light comes on intermittently. Problem was corrected after corroded wheel speed sensor was replaced.
