ABS MODULE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT OWNER BELIEVES A MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE LIKE THIS SHOULD LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR, ESPECIALLY WHEN REPAIRS COST $1200 OR MORE. MY MECHANIC (HONDA-TRAINED) SAID HE DID 5 ABS REPAIRS IN 3 WEEKS. WHY WAS THE ABS MODULE REDESIGNED IN 1996? PERHAPS A HIGHER -THAN- NORMAL FAILURE RATE TREND WAS NOTICED (JUST MY OPINION). PRE-1996 ACURA LEGENDS ALSO HAVE THE SAME ABS MODULE. *AK
