“Bought this vehicle from a dealer and cannot get it inspected due to the issues with the ABS and steering sensors.replaced ABS module and am still having trouble with it. The dealer would not do anything to resolve any of these issues because I bought it as is and they refused to give me any kind of warranty and had me sign an affidavit stating so.when I left the dealership I had to fuel up and hit the brakes and could barely get it stopped.found a lot of bad brake lines and the ABS light came on”
NHTSA complaint #11218809, filed 2019-06, 186,000 miles“Dt: problem was noticed in 5/05 when key was turned on, no light came on regarding the stability control function. Was put on diagnostics, but no error code showed. Owner manual stated the light will come on briefly when starting the vehicle, then disappear. If the light does not go on, then stability control function may need service. The entire electric system failed in april, when radio, and other electric functions failed. Also, the low PSI light did not illuminate when the tire went flat. This happened after the repair of electric system. Transmission failed, and had to be replaced. …”
