I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN A BUS PULLED IN FRONT OF ME TO MAKE A LET TURN. I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND I ONLY GOT A PULSATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE HIT THE SIDE OF THE BUS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO BOTH THE VEHICLES. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I NOTICED THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. AFTER THAT ACCIDENT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN DOING THE PULSATION AND INABILITY TO STOP. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND REPLACED WHEEL HUBS AND SPEED SENSORS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET COMING TO A STOP WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ANTI LOCK/ TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED WHILE TRYING TO STOP. FOR A COUPLE SECONDS I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP AS IF THE CAR WAS PREVENTING THE WHEELS FROM LOCKING UP AS IT WOULD ON WET PAVEMENT BUT IT WASN'T WET AT ALL. THERE WAS PULSATION IN THE BREAK PEDAL PREVENTING ME PRESSING THE BREAK PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE VEHICLE WASN'T SLOWING DOWN AT ALL CAUSING ME TO ALMOST RUN INTO THE BACK OF A SCHOOL BUS. IT STILLS CONTINUES TODAY AFTER 2 VISITS TO THE DEALER SHIP AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN FROM 30MPH I NOTICE MY BRAKE PEDAL STUTTER LIKE THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED. IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN A FEW TIMES A DAY, ALL A RANDOM THROUGH OUT THE DAY. AFTER 3 DAYS OF THIS, THE ABS LIGHT AND TC LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FRONT LEFT HUB ASSEMBLY NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT $650. THIS WAS COMPLETED ON A FRIDAY. BY WEDNESDAY I WAS FEELING STUTTERING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, SO THEY REPLACE THE HUB ASSEMBLY AGAIN, THINKING THERE WAS A DEFECT. THIS OCCURRED LAST FRIDAY. TODAY IS TUESDAY AND MY BRAKES STUTTERED AGAIN THIS MORNING AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. THEY NOW PROPOSE THAT THERE IS A CONTROL MODULE ISSUE OR A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A QUOTE FOR THE NEW REPAIRS. *TR

THE ABS LIGHT AND TC OFF LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS WHAT SEEMS LIKE A GRINDING FEELING. THE LIGHTS COME ON MORE FREQUENTLY IN WARMER WEATHER. HOWEVER THE GRINDING IS MORE FREQUENT IN COLDER WEATHER. *TR
