Description of the problem	The abs module in my car failed on 11/20/19. The car had approximately 53,500 miles at the time of failure. The car had been serviced at the dealer five days prior on 11/15/19 including a multi point system inspection and replacement of the recalled air bags . No "warning" or indicator of a problem with the abs system was identified. When the abs malfunction indicator lights came on i had just turned the vehicle on and was pulling out of my driveway and so proceeded very slowly down my street (which has a downgrade) only to realize i had lost braking power and had to use my emergency brake to firmly / completely stop. I was towed to the dealer who indicated that there would be no warning in an abs module failure and so could not have been identified five days prior. The dealer service advisor indicated he was able to stop the car in the service bay when pulling it forward at a low speed on a flat service. Had i been traveling at high speed or in traffic i am concerned this could have resulted in an accident with potential for serious injury or fatality.
