Hello all I'm new here. My family owns two foresters. One is an older one that I drive now and the one my mother drives is a 2005 Forester X I believe. Her Forester only has about 70k on it and recently it had some major issues. She was driving down our very steep driveway when she hit a tiny patch of snow,so the ABS kicked on. The problem was it didnt turn off, she claimed she tried everything to get the brakes working again (besides pulling up the emergeny brake of course) and she hit a tree instead of going into the street. We brought the car to the dealership and they claimed the could not find anything wrong. Oh and at the time this happend the Crusie Control light had been blinking and the check engine light was on. We had brought it in 3 times before this happend for that problem which they claimed each time that they fixed. So they said the Check engine light was a false alarm and they fixed nothing. My parents are geting a new Outback because my mom now refuses to drive the car. So they offered me the newer forester which is tempting since mine has almost 200k on it now. So what could be the issue? I would not bring it to the dealership to get fixed, I'd bring it to the garage where my boyfriend works (my parents won't let me bring it there now or let my boyfriend look at it I don't know why they're just plain stuborn and think the dealership knows best). He thinks the wheel sensor is broken. What do you think? Oh and the dealership claims there's a recall on the car but I can't find anything on it. Thank you.
