Almost all warning lights were on at some point getting to the repair - ABS most consistent. This needs a fix as the vehicle is a risk (if you panic). I have learned to…

The problem renders the vehicle dangerous to drive. The initial failure occurred when we were driving at over 60mph and…

When the consumer returned to the dealer, he was informed the system had only been reprogrammed, because the system replacement was not approved. It took another week, before…
