problem #1

Dec 022006

Malibu 3.1L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

ABS light comes on and off at its own will then the regular brake light came on only when it was really cold outside. Took it to the mechanic and there was nothing actually mechanically wrong with either system it was an electrical problem in the computer the rewired the ABS ground wire and light hasn't come back on since. However I had to take the car back to the dealer twice to get it fixed. $70 per each diagnostic.
