Description of the problem	When i started the vehicle after it had sat for a week without starting, warning lights appeared for abs, traction control, and brakes. I drove it around the block to test things out, and things seemed to be running pretty much like normal, so i drove it to a mechanic. They ran a diagnostic, and 8 codes came up, all having to do with the abs system. It was determined that the abs control module would need to be replaced. I didn't want to do the repairs at that mechanic, so they told me i could drive the car, but that i wouldn't have abs or traction control. Upon driving it a few miles, the lights turned off, and everything was functioning as normal. When i started it the next day, the lights were back on, but i decided to drive it to work, based on what the mechanic had told me. About a mile down the road, the speedometer stopped working, and the car then began to change gears at random, which presented an all new safety risk. At this point i also lost power steering. I managed to pull over and turn off the car. When i started the car again, just the brake warning lights were on, so i decided to drive home, considering i was only about a mile away. Everything was functioning properly on that drive. My complaint mostly has to do with the abs control module, as it appears that this is a relatively common issue for this model year, and it definitely puts people at risk, especially if it is affecting other systems, as well.
