Details

What's wrong: Corrosion of the ABS hydraulic control unit can cause the solenoid valves to stick in the open position.

Why it matters: If either front wheel valve sticks, the vehicle would swerve from a straight stop when the brakes are applied.

The fix: Dealers will install a plate and silicone grease injected into the solenoid cavity to eliminate the potential for this condition.
