I have a 1999 Dodge Durango that the brakes and ABS dash lights stay on all the time. Brakes have been replaced on all four wheels, technician said the problem with the dash lights is most likely a sensor. I have talked to others that own Dodge Durangos, and this is a common complaint. Talked to the dealer, since it is not under warranty, estimated cost to repair was about $1,200 (and they would still not guarantee that it would correct the problem. It seems to me that this is clearly a safety defect, and the manufacturer should be held responsible to make the corrections at their cost.
Anti-lock brake warning light comes on while driving. In accordance with owner's manual immediately took to dealer for repair. Dealer unable to identify cause - estimates $1,350 in cost to replace main sensor, which he cannot assure will correct. Recommends I just drive and ignor warning light. I am able to lock up brakes, indicating anti-lock feature not functioning as it should.
Front suspension/ball bearings completely gone. Oil pressure gage drops to 0 even after having the oil changed. Transmission problems. ABS and brake light stays on.
While driving consumer applied brakes abruptly for a quick stop, but the vehicle slid through the intersection and the ABS light illuminated. Took vehicle to dealer, who diagnosed that the brake sensor had failed.
