Description of the problem	Anti-skid computer has gone bad, activating skid control constantly ( cutting power and applying brakes ) all the time while driving in warm dry weather. Many times you can not even pull out in traffic safely, it cuts power once you start to move. Very dangerous. After extensive testing by both independents and the dealer, it has been determined that the computer (anti-skid ecu) has a defect. Known issue. Kelly blue book values the car at $8500 (private sale) and this repair will be over $2500. Vehicle has 51,000 miles on it. Belongs to my elderly mother, who is on a fixed income. Driving the car is extremely dangerous. Come to a stop (light, cross roads,etc). Then go, it activates and cuts all power to the drive train. You are just sitting there, and can not move the vehicle. If you are merging, or crossing traffic, you are now in a dangerous situation.
