“Dt: the contact stated there was something wrong with the stability system. The stability system light illuminated periodically, stating stability system active. When the light illuminated the vehicle vibrated and decelerated temporarily. Also, if the light illuminated when applying the brakes the ABS will activate. A local mechanic performed a diagnostic test , and said it was the stability system sensor in the steering column. To repair the vehicle they will have to replace this sensor.”
