Consumer stated he experienced intermittent problems with the ABS warning light for over 16 months before the problem was actually dianosed as being a failed ABS module, consumer stated there would also be a popping noise when the brakes were being applied.
Consumer was traveling 35mph on highway and brakes locked up in front of an intersection. He went to apply brakes and vehicle didn't stop. Has ABS braking system. Also, all four tires were turning.
Transmission keeps going out, and ABS brakes will not stop vehicle.
From delivery, ABS and check engine light intermittantly stay on. El;ectrical system sometimes 'stumbles' and looses voltage... As if it is going to stall.. Then it corrects itself until the next time driving is very difficult at times due to poor front shock/spring setup.. Must fight to keep on road at times. I have had to place 500 lb. Weight in rear to improve this somewhat.
A fews days after purchase the ABS light has been continually on, unable to determine problem. Mjs
