Example complaints

“The ABS has not failed, but it leaks profusly. I need to replace about 1 oz of brake fluid per week. The dealer's price for a replacement ABS unit (they won't rebuild it) is a crime at $2745!! If this is a chronic problem (and it sounds like it is), they should be more reasonable $!”
NHTSA complaint #735719, filed 2000-11“Anti-lock brake unit leaking brake fluid. Started about 5/5/97. Leaks with car parked, may leak while driving. Started gradually, now loses about two ounces per week. If brake fluid level gets too low while driving, it can prevent proper brake operation and increase the risk of accident. The ABS unit is located near the engine exhaust and just aft of the right front wheel. I suspect that brake fluid may drip on the heated exhaust system; perhaps this could cause a fire. If dripping brake fluid got on the tire, it could reduce traction and contribute to an accident. …”
