| Dt*: the contact stated the modulator valve of the antilock brake system keeps running even after the vehicle has the ignition off which takes battery to full discharge. the vehicle was taken to the an independent certified mechanic who stated that only the dealership is able to repair it. updated 7/18/2006 - in order to keep the battery from totally discharging the consumer had to unplug the wiring to the abs modulator which cause the cruise control, speedometer, trip computer and abs to stop working.*nm | |||

| (1) i was descending down a snow covered hill. (2) anti-lock brakes engaged and appeared to lock up the wheels. the anti-lock brakes did not slow the vehicle, nor did they allow me to turn. the abs system did not disengage until about 1 full second after i released the brake completely. i came very close to rolling the truck into a gully. (3) i pulled the abs breaker, and have had no further problems even on the same hill. *jb | |||
