| Description of the problem | My 05 armada has problems with the brake senor light coming on and the abs system start acting erratic, vibration under dash and pedal moving back and forth the brakes lock up and start making grinding sound and is hard to control. When the car is stopped and restarted all problems vanish. Sometimes it does it when the car is parked like when i went to the store came out and try to drive it but it was locked. When im driving the car and it with just a touch to the pedal the brakes would just lock up. Its unsafe because there is no warning when it happens. I called the dealer and told the person in charge what was happening she said it might be the brake booster. I think its a computer hard ware or software issue because once its re-started it goes back to normal. Since my insurance has already expired and the lady said it will cost me about 1,000 dlls which i don't have right know it will be difficult for me to fix it right away. If it is the brake booster. I hope in the meantime im lucky enough to not be in a car accident because of this problem thank you. Help. |
