VEHICLE'S ABS AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT COME ONE AND THE FRONT AIR BLOWER DOESN'T WORK WHILE THESE LIGHTS ARE ON. DEALER SAID THIS WAS A SERVICE PROBLEM AND ORDERED PARTS TO FIX. WHEN PARTS CAME IN, THE PROBLEM WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FIXED. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN. AFTER DISCUSSING WITH OUR SERVICE ADVISOR, I SUGGESTED THAT ON THE NEXT OCCURRENCE I COME IN SO THEY CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, SINCE THEY WERE UNABLE TO "DUPLICATE IT". THEY TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE AREA WHERE THEY THEN SAID IT WAS A "LOOSE" WIRE UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS ON ORDER. THEY COULD NOT "GUARANTEE" THAT THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM EITHER. *JB
