SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
I HAVE A 2002 MITSUBISHI MONTERO WITH 43,000 MILES AND THE ABS CONTROL MODULE ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT OUT. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. JUST BACKED UP ON JANUARY 1, 2006, AND NOTICED THE LIGHT WAS ON. I LOOKED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DID WHAT IT SAID. BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I TOOK IT TOOK A LOCAL TIRE AND BRAKE COMPANY, BUT THEY COULDN'T GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. THEN, TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THE ABS CONTROL MODULE HAD GONE OUT. THE COST OF THIS PART WAS $900. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO CONTACT MITSUBISHI BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN BEFORE. I DID, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I THINK THIS SUCKS BECAUSE IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS PART MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE IT WAS ONE THAT NO ONE COULD TELL ME THAT THEY HAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING THIS IS THE ONLY MITSUBISHI PRODUCT I WILL EVER OWN.*AK
