ants Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Last week my wife comes home and tells me that the brakes on her van, "feel funny" and that the van had a bad smell to it. Apparently this has been going on for two or three weeks but she never mentioned it to me. I go out to check and I can smell the burt brake pads as soon as I opened the door. Back brakes, pads, rotors and calipers totally fried. $750.00. Yesterday Im running around in my truck, trying to get things done before my sons confirmation, when I look down and see that my dash is lit up like a x-mass tree. Service engine soon, anti lock brakes and anti skid. All at the same time!!! Before I get home my anti locks start kicking in every time I stop. LOL!! Im $ure it$ ju$t a loo$e $krew or $omething $imple like that. Right?? Ha...Ha.....ha. Give me a freak'n back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have the same luck, My back lights keep burning out and the unit it self is bad and i have changed those i think 3x, just one side. Every so often my windows will go up or down or not work. I have had all my dash lights come on when i have shut the car off and keys are in my hand, lol. My abs light has come on and my brake light then will come on, i just replaced the Abs sensor or what ever it is and i was good for a few days and now my airbag light is on i am so paranoid i am going to get smashed in my face, thats my luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HectorBuckBuster Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I know if you have a wheel bearing going bad on the front of truck (just my experience with Chevy/GMC/Fords), your ABS light will come on, and your abs will kick in. Alot of time it really does it when you are turning really slow in to say a parking spot, the abs kicks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Paula -- Sounds like your Tail Light Fluid might be low ......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretcher Guy Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Are you sure its not a loose muffler bearing? Those things can cause all kinds of problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Id say it could be the canooter valve on the fritz, Ive seen it a hundred times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
