Check enginel light, ABS light, etc

Hey guys. I have a 2003 2.7t that has a repeating problem. A whiel back I noticed the ABS light had come on. Took it to the dealership and they claimed a "wire had come loose". Fastfoward to a week ago when I finally got sick of the ABS and check engine light staying lite. Took it to a different dealership and they claimed it was fixed. However, its not fixed. Anyone know of anything I can do?

Go to a reputable dealership and try again?

Go to an indie and have AoA pick up the bill when the car is fixed right...where do you live?

Probably just a dirty sensor, but dealers like "hard failures", maintenance is not their thing. They would reather replace the sensor then clean it. Good luck.

I'd go to a different dealer. If they can't fix it learn from this list how to escalate this problem thru AoA service. Still not fixed? Tell them to have AoA buy the car back......
BTW: An ABS computer costs $1200 installed, BTDT.
