Seems like the ABS Module is a REAL commom problem... Just hate that there isn't really an inexpensive way to permanently fix this.

Did no one say drivers heated seats that get so hot they burn our asses?

Seriously folks, 6 settings! Any one of them after "2" on a 80k mile car is like spending a weekend at Guantanamo bay and knowing Bin Laden's hangout!

I had the coilpacks start popping out on mine. Found the problem to be not torquing the sparkplugs to 20-22lb/ft. Might fix some of these from happening.
