ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. SOMETIMES WHILE BRAKING, A WEIRD HYDRAULIC SOUND IS HEARD AND THE BRAKES DONT WANT TO STOP THE CAR. THE PEDAL WONT GO DOWN FURTHER UNLESS SOMETIMES YOU FORCE IT AND LOCK UP THE TIRES AND BRAKES. NO CODES ARE SHOWING FOR THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL. BEEN HAPPENING SPORADICALLY FOR A YEAR.

ON FEBRUARY 8, 2019, MY MOTHER WAS PULLING INTO A MAINTENANCE GARAGE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE. UPON PULLING INTO THE GARAGE, SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND HER VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. AS A RESULT, HE VEHICLE HIT AN EMPLOYEE, WENT THROUGH THE MAINTENANCE GARAGE DOOR, THROUGH THE PARKING LOT, ACROSS A FOUR LANE STREET, AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED IN A FIELD ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE OIL CHANGE VENUE. THIS IS AN APPROXIMATE DISTANCE OF 300 FEET. UPON FURTHER REVIEW BY MY MECHANIC, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ABS SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DROP IN THE CAR, AND THE CAR NOT TO STOP. THE WIRING HARNESS ALSO WAS CRACKED RESULTING IN A CUT TO THE ABS WIRE, CAUSING THE ABS MALFUNCTION RESULTING IN THE CAR TO NOT STOP, AND THE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SPEED FORWARD. GENERAL MOTORS WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS CLAIM.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, SHORTLY AFTER I BROUGHT IT IN TO MIDAS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, AFTER I WAS TOLD EXTREMELY BAD NEWS THAT MY VEHICLE HAD SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS AND IT WAS GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX IT BUT LUCKILY IT'S UNDER A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY MODEL MAKE AND YEAR, ALTHOUGH WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO MERIT CHEVROLET I DISCUSSED MY CONCERNS WITH THEM ABOUT MY VEHICLE AND HOW A LOT OF THE THINGS DISCOVERED WRONG WITH IT, HAD TO DO WITH MULTIPLE OF THE RECALLS. THE CONVERSATION GOT NOWHERE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T ON THE RECALL THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEMS DISCOVERED TO BE RELATED TO THE RECALLS I WAS TOLD WERE RELATED AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING I CAN DO, UNLESS I WANTED TO CALL GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. AT THIS POINT I'M VERY FRUSTERATED AND HAVE ALREADY SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH EACH PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS SPECIFIED FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL I'M UNABLE TO BE HELPED. SO ALSO SAYING THAT LATER WHEN THIS KILLS ME, IT WILL REMAIN NOT IMPORTANT. I HAVE THE NHTSA #'S OF EVERY PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING... 15V7010000, 05V046000, 04V299000, 04V287000, 03V331000 AND IF SOMEONE COULD TAKE ME AND THE ISSUES THAT MY CAR IS HAVING SERIOUSLY I'D LOVE TO BRING IT IN. MERIT CHEVROLET MIGHT HAVE SWITCHED THE VALVE COVER, BUT THEY DID NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF ENGINE OIL LEAKING IN MY MANIFOLD. I ARRIVED THERE AND LEFT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND SAFETY HAZARD. MY ENGINE IS STILL AT RISK OF IGNITING FIRE AND YOU'D THINK IF SOMEONE IS GOING TO FIX A PROBLEM, THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE MY LIFE IS STILL AT RISK. (ALSO I WAS UNABLE TO SELECT MORE THAN 3 AFFECTED PARTS, AND THE ONE MORE AFFECTED IS THE STEERING)

PROBLEM: THE ABS GETS ACTIVATED WITHOUT CAUSE. DESCRIPTION: I FIRST NOTICED PROBLEM AROUND MARCH, 2015 AND, AT APPROXIMATELY 158,000 MILES. IT WAS BARELY NOTICEABLE AT FIRST, WITH FAINT METAL SCRAPPING-LIKE NOISES BEING EMITTED, THAT COINCIDED WITH SLIGHT PULSATING VIBRATIONS BEING FELT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ALSO CAME ON, BUT A FEW DAYS LATER, IT WENT AWAY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, AND THEIR COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT, THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE OBVIOUS, AS IT BECAME MORE FREQUENT, THE NOISES MORE AUDIBLE, AND THE PULSATIONS MORE PRONOUNCED, WITH THE ABS LIGHT ALSO COMING ON. IT'S AT THE POINT, WHERE, QUITE OFTEN, IF I HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARDER, THERE TENDS TO BE A SLIP, AND I'M NOT ABLE TO BRAKE AND STOP, WHERE I OTHERWISE WOULD/SHOULD HAVE. SO NOW, I'M NOT ABLE TO USE THE CAR, EXCEPT WHEN I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE. I CALLED THE LOCAL PONTIAC/GMC DEALER, TO ASK ABOUT ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID NO AND SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR IN TO REPAIR IT. SINCE I AM ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET, I INSTEAD DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC AGAIN. HE AGAIN HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTER, AND COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED I HAVE THE ABS SYSTEM REPLACED, BUT THE COST FOR JUST THE PART WAS OVER $200.00. THANK YOU! *TR

I FIRST NOTICED THAT WHEN TURNING THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT PASSENGER CONTROL ARM NEEDED REPLACED. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND FOUND OUT THAT THE SPEED HARNESS NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT IS WHAT'S CAUSING THE LIGHT FOR ABS/TC TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE RESEARCHED BOTH OF THESE ISSUES WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. WHAT CONSTITUTES A RECALL?
