I HAVE HAD MY ABS SYSTEM REPLACED 3 TIMES. THIS TIME THE PEDAL DOES NOT COME UP PROPERLY TO SHUT OFF THE BRAKE LIGHTS, AND LET CRUISE CONTROL TO WORK PROPERLY. I FEEL THAT THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED MY FRONT ROTORS TO WARP. I CONTACTED THE DEALER SHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RETURN SPRING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED.

THE GARAGE HERE IN TOWN STATED THAY HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS TENSIONERS, SO THIS IS A PRETTY ON GOING THING.
