| The abs brake warning light comes on and the bell rings nonstop. occasionally if you make a hard turn the light goes off for a few minutes. took to mechanic. did front brake job. 2 days later the light came back on. the automatic door locks do not work in the front doors. the passagner side does not lock or unlock. the drivers side locks but will not unlock. but the car will lock the doors when you put it in gear or turn off the engine - locking you in the car. this too was taken to a mechanic and after 400$ the owner decided that was enough money to spend and not have the problem corrected. *ak | |||
