Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Takata recall traction control, abs I have replaced both front hubs barings with abs sensors twice in 1 year. Still the traction control comes on when iam about to stop or turn.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

In Jan 2011, front right wheel hub assembly and speed sensor was replaced with oem part. In June 2011, the part had failed again. Per mechanic, fault is due to speed sensor not returning correct speed when speed is < 8 mph. Per mechanic, this wiill increase stopping distance when it occurs.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

1st time: driving into portland, or. When engine started to make a awful noise by the time I found a dealer the sound was awful. The dealer said that I had 1 push rod jammed and locked up. It was replaced. 2nd. Time 1 year to the month it happened again. Took to dealer and #4 locked up and bent. The dealer said this is becoming a common item with this car. It seems that because of the aluminum block expands and retracks when it is hot that the bolt used to push the rod comes loose and causes the rod the finelly bend. I check with another repair shop and they had, had 2 in the last year. I was told this will continue to happen until I replace all rods. At which time they will put in new bolts with lock tight so they will not come loose. So far I have been lucky that only one at a time has good. If two had gone out they said I probably would have lost control of the car. As it would lock up.
