The abs controller failed. There are complaints all over the internet about people having the same issue. I believe it was burned out by the faulty ignition switch which powers it. The switch is already under recall.

I waited for over one year for the dealership to respond for repair of the recalls p57 / nhtsa 14v-567 (and p73). They completed the repair(s) august 25, 2015 - no charge. However, the vehicle immediately, and ever since, has shown the exact same symptoms. I returned the vehicle to the dealership and they now say that the problem is different and my cost will be approximately $500.00. This does not seem right.
