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 for the controller. This is a safety issue and should be under warranty.

Traction control, brake and ABS light are all indicating failure. Dealer is unable to determine cause. Brakes appear to work ok but warning lights cause concern.
