Q: 2009 Toyota Matrix ABS light came on after transmission repair. then the breaks locked.
I took my matrix in to get the transmission rebuilt because I was having big time clunking during shifting.After I gor it back the moment I started the car th ABS light came on. he told me it was the censor and reset it. It came back on as I started to drive away. then a few days passed and the breaks locked up. Is it possible the mechanic did damage to my breaking system?
