Typical brake symptoms owners report
- StabiliTrak stability-control system engages unexpectedly at highway speed, causing the brakes to activate on their own and forcing following traffic to brake suddenly.
- Service StabiliTrak and ABS warning lights illuminate together, sometimes preceded by a grinding noise while turning, and the warning stays on until the engine is shut off.
- Vehicle shakes or vibrates violently and can momentarily lose stability control on wet or ice-covered roads, in one case sliding off the road.
- Stability-control sensor is replaced by a dealer but the same warning-light failure returns afterward.
- Vehicle slows or nearly stops on its own at low speed while the check-engine light and parking-assist warning flash simultaneously.
- Front end shakes or shudders when braking going downhill, even after a dealer performs an alignment and finds no fault.
