MAZDA3 4-cyl

  • 25,900 miles
First incident occurred at 25,900 miles; brake warning light appeared on console dash. Dealer identified a failure of the ABS (anti-lock brake system) module which was leaking brake fluid. Dealer replaced ABS module under warranty. Second occurrence at 37,600 miles; brake, ABS, and traction control warning lights appeared on dash. Dealer identified failure of the ABS module which had stopped communicating with the PCM. As a result of this second failure, the ABS and/or traction control system was not functioning normally. Dealer could not identify a root cause for the consecutive failures of the ABS module. Cost to replace the ABS module was quoted by dealer at approximately $1,600 (part + labor).
