2000 Buick Century. Consumer states problems with ABS control module braking system the consumer stated a recall was issued for the 1999 model for the exact problem. On October 23,2007, the ABS light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic and a trouble code of C1218 appeared. The electronic brake control module was replaced and the hydraulic braking system was purged and flushed and the code was cleared.

The ABS sensor light stays on. Consumer is concerned that the ABS will fail. The dealer states the sensor needs a new module. The ABS sensor light was intermittent. The mechanic found a bad ground wire which was repaired. There was a pulsation when the brakes were applied and the front rotors were out of round.

ABS problems: When making an emergency stop at 15 mph brake pedal went down but the vehicle just didn't stop, causing vehicle to crash into back of a work truck. It had just started drizzling when this happened. This caused $1,202 dollars worth of damage. Vehicle was taken to the dealership. Dealer was not able to determine what caused this problem.
