In Feb./ 05 cruise control quite, mechanic couldn't find problem, Aug 15/05 ABS light comes on. Thinking brake fluid is low, I pop the hood and notice plug on master cylinder is burned/melted. Car wont shift out of park, and no brake lights. I get a new plug and harness from dealer and replace blown fuse. I still have no cruise light on on dash but brakes and cruise work. Dealer said no recall but plenty of service bulletins. $15 part

ABS brake problem. ABS brakes have been changed a couple of times. Manufacturer was not contacted at the time of this call. Dealer was also contacted, and stated that there was nothing they could do.
