Just as others have reported: Dash lights came on: ABS, tcs off, warning triangle and brake. Check engine light came on after intermittent problem became permanent. Speedometer and odometer ceased to operate. Researched to discover a common problem with like vehicles (saabnet.com). Service technician confirmed that ABS ECU was inoperative and needed to be replaced. Arroway Saab dealer attempted to resolve issue with Saab usa to replace $3500 part. I would pay labor. Saab dealer refused to guarantee replacement of ABS computer would fix problem. Currently working with purchasing a used until for $900. Wish I had known about the rebuild option. This is a consistent problem which is 1) expensive and 2) potentially dangerous as it affects key safety features.
