| Description of the problem | Abs module failure occurred 10 days after replacing battery and alternator. I have nearly crashed quite a few times when braking (not hard) due to the wheels locking up and car begins to fish tail, this occurs on dry or wet pavement. Mostly take back roads when driving as i am unsure how safe my car is on the interstate and if sudden braking is needed how my car will fair. |
