What owners say
At 83000 miles my ABS system failed leaving my car without ABS and traction control I think that at this low miliage this should not be a factor in this car the part to make everything work right again is $1269.00 without labor. I feel other buick owners are having the same problem and this is a safety issue and should be looked at more closely. *a
