| Anti lock brake system completely replaced - a major preblem was, dealership did not make me aware approx 50% had brakes repaired. i was informed they were aware a $500 part had to be replaced and after that was put on there was another part approx $400 that may have to be replaced, of course that was needed after 1st part replaced . making payment of approx $1500 to replace brakes after labor included. i had a big problem that i had to spend over $800 before they could tell me if i had to come up with another $700. they were well aware i was very unhappy. it is good to see the other vehicles of same make and year with same problem. *ak | |||
