I had the Xfire hauled to the dealership some 20 miles away on May 5. Diagnosis is the ABS controller. It has been on backorder with about 2 week updates being offered. Yesterday the expected due date was moved to October. I secured the part number from the parts department and may have located a couple of places that have the part. Dealership said the cost of the part would be $1000 but the part listed on the other sites were both $199.

It's been almost 2 months and no Xfire! Dealership called today to see if I was interested in trading it in and they offered to make the trade in value as in "running condition." I haven't pursued that at this time.
Hunt down a USED one---several crashed cars now----just make sure the part does not come from a flood car!!!! That part is out there!

Edit: Just went on line @ www. car-parts.com---several there for as little as $50 plus shipping. Call several places. The salvage yards will work with you to get the right part.
