| My abs light came on,and when i have to stop suddenly my car slide sideways, causing my back end to go into oncoming traffic. i took my car into gray chevy-cadilliac of the poconos.and did the scann and said it was the pump motor. i had it changed and the light is still on, and know they are telling me that the abs module has to be changed. it cost me three hundred and forty one dollars and eighty cents to have the pump motor put in and know it's going to cost more money to put in the abs module. i feel if the anti-lock brakes aren't working,then that is a danger to me or any one else out there.i almost got hit by a oncoming car that was on the wrong side of the road,if i wouldn't have seen him coming it would have been a head on collison. *jb | |||
