“I do not know if this is a safety hazard. I hope you will let me know. I own a 1998 Ford Mustang Gt. It has 48,620 miles on it. About a year ago, the cruise control and inside lights stopped working. I took it in to a Ford dealership. They told me it was some kind of sensor or something like that. I do not remember specifics. They told me it would be about $500.00 plus to fix it. I could not afford to fix. Last month the ABS light came on in the car. I took it in last week and they told me the hydraulic control unit was bad. It would be $992.00 plus to fix it. …”
