The parking brake light and the ABS light come on at the same time after driving for a few minutes, and remain on. This indicates that there's a problem with the anti-lock braking system. Initial estimates put this repair at over $1,000, but those don't include written estimates. I don't intend to have it fixed, and have for the first time in my life changed from buying American cars. I now own an Acura, and plan to let the truck fail completely on its own.

Almost the same exact problem someone else reported, the parking brake light and the ABS light come on at the same time after driving for a few minutes, and remain on. Sometimes it happens after just a few minutes, other times I can drive for more than an hour and not have it happen. Seems to be something loose; the problem seems to show up more quickly when going over rough road.
Took it to the local dealer to get it fixed, they thought it was a rusted ground connection - they fixed that ($50) but the problem came back the next day.
