Depends on what the problem is. If it's the ABC pump or a high-pressure hose, it's likely to be big $$$. My 600 is at the dealer now for an ABC warning light, and turns out it was something not so big (I'm not sure what). Total bill is around $600.00. I'm picking it up Monday, I'll let you know what the problem was.

Definitely get it to the shop. My 2002 CL did the same thing after owning it only 5000 miles (or less maybe). Turns out it was just a pressure line needed a fitting tightened. Your suspension will bottom out and possibly do damage if this is not repaired ASAP. This was a notorious problem in the years 2000 through around 2003. If it's what I think it is, it may not cost much at all to get it fixed. I would get a warranty for this car BTW.

bring it to the dealer the longer you wait the more it will cost
