Failure Date: 11/01/1999

4-wheel drive: on dry conditions and at slow speeds, abs braking system activated, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Dealer said the problem was due to the front hubs wearing out which caused the abs brakes to malfunction.

2 Axle Hubs problem

Failure Date: 04/20/1999

Abs system comes on at low speeds without brake pressed-vehicle then is hard to stop and pulls to the right. I have replaced all pads and calipers. Machine bled system and replaced left frt speed sensor. Took to dealer and was told that the front hubs are exposed and most of the time tear apart and cleaning solves. Am upset the dealer charged a diagnostic fee for something he could have told me on the phone!.
