ABS LIGHT ON STABILITRAK LIGHT ON. REAR WHEEL HUBS BROKEN AND REPLACED. BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. THROTTLE BODY AND VALVE REPLACED. HAPPENED AGAIN SIX MONTHS LATER - SAME WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ABS AND STABILITRAK. TWO WHEEL SENSORS WERE REPLACED. LIGHTS STILL ON. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. NOW DEALER SAYS "ELECTRONIC BRAKE MODULE" IS OUT. ABS CONTROL MODULE PART NUMBER WAS LISTED AS THE FIX. THESE FIXES ARE RIGHT AT $3,000 AT THIS POINT. BRAKES RUMBLED AND FELT LIKE THEY WERE CATCHING INSTEAD OF GOING DOWN SMOOTHLY UPON PICKING UP REPAIRED VEHICLE. WENT BACK INTO THE SHOP AND THAT IS WHEN THE CONTROL PART WAS RECOMMENDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1,200.
