Abs and break lights on in car. Took to local repair shop and informed that the abs control module has become defective. Attempted to purchase the required oem part for repair in July of 2025. Was informed the part is on back order with no intended arrival date. Have continually reached out to local dealership since that time and part continues to remain on back order with no arrival date. Have been informed by the dealership that my automatic breaking system will no longer function, making the car unsafe to drive on a daily basis. This could lead to a catastrophic accident due to no breaking system. Manufacturer has not prioritized increasing supply of the replacement part and has not issued a mandatory recall for this safety issue.
