problem #1

May 152005

A4 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 82,000 miles
Normal driving conditions, no modifications to vehicle, at 80K miles the anti lock brake module fails and the ABS no longer works. The brakes are prone to locking up. The replacement part for the vehicle when out of warranty is $1200. I have been driving it as little as possible until I can save for the repair. Additionally, the cruise control stopped working out of the blue at 55K miles. This module has not been replaced either due to cost.
