No I have changed the suspension around 8 times on these, and never had a problem. Maybe there is something amiss.

Thanks for the replies.

Ok, the messages I'm am getting on the DIC are, "service esc" &"service traction". Hooked up a scanner and no codes are popping up. Both the abs and traction control lights are on no matter what I do. I'm not sure what to check?

I have seen that before, was the speed sensor in the hub.

But my mechanic could read it with his snap-on dealio.

I used a cheapo OBD2 scanner that didn't even have year 2011.

I bet its the driver side hub or abs sensor since there was tension on that tiny wire that connects to the bracket that holds both ends of the clip.

Should I start replacing parts? If so, where do I start?

Go to the guy with a good scanner, will tell you exactly what to buy. Mine was 40.00 for the part.

Drove the '06 to work here at the Senate Office Building, that was at 8am, still here wishing I was home in NC with my wife and son.

Michelle took Paddy to the store yesterday, he turned over 75,000 miles, shoot.

Generally lower cost scanners do not have the ability to diagnose ABS issues..

Better scanners do tho (CAN OBD-II & ABS)..
