| Description of the problem | The dealership states the right front abs harness came off first and rubbed through causing a bunch of electrical problems. They states the abs harness came off because the harness bracket was bent. This is a 12 and a half month old vehicle which has only been serviced at the dealership. There is no history of hitting anything. The vehicle was started out in failure mode and was not like this the last time the vehicle was driven. This created unsafe driving conditions because the pcm put the vehicle in limp mode. We drive the vehicle directly to the dealership. They described the problem. |
