| Description of the problem | Upon starting my car, the check vsc system, brake and abs lights came on. I turned of the the engine and the warnings went away. About three weeks later, as i was driving down the freeway at 70mph, the warning lights suddenly appeared. Took the car to the dealership and was told i need a new battery. Next days, as i was driving down the freeway, again out the warning lights suddenly appeared. Too it back to the dealer and three days later they tell me i needed to fix the brake actuator and the cost would be over 4k. Out of nowhere, the brakes just fail. We can't afford to have the car fixed. |
