My ABS light is on due to a faulty ABS module. The cost to replace it is $1,200. My oil dip stick stuck in place, but they were able to get it out but found out the tube is cracked to repair it will be $565. I’m 74 and I’m wondering if it’s worth fixing. My only alternative is to sell it and just share my wife’s car. We are both busy with family and my fishing.
