Cavalier 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,000 miles
Two days ago, my ABS (anti-lock brake system) warning light came on. I took it to the shop and they diagnosed that my electronic brake control moduel (ebcm) was bad and that I needed a new one. Given that my car is a 2001 Cavalier with less than 47,000 miles, they said this was very unusual. Repairs will be outrageousely expensive.
