Several months ago the abs light came on during a hard stop. The light comes on and off at will now. Abs controller has failed according to dealership. No abs brake control or traction control. Dealership computer first said it was the right front wheel sensor. Replaced that and the same light was on again. Brought it back and then they say it is the abs controller. They want $850.00 for the controller. This is a safety issue and should be under warranty. *jb
