ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
My air bag light stays on and my abs light stays on and something with the wiring keeps ruining my battery
The traction control light and the ABS light came on at the same time and its saying service tractioncontrol system/service stabilatrak system and also service assited brake control system I did some research and I found out this is a common problem with these cars and should be addressed by gm to be fixed at their cost not mine
The ABS light on traction control does not work key comes out of the ingiton causeing the car to stall front passenger air bag is turned off
When I first purchase my car from a used car dealer which is smart auto dealer, 2 weeks later my vehicle will start to have issues while my vehicle is in motion on the service streets. Whenever I am making a left turn my alert alarm will light up on dash stating service brake assist , service stabilitrak , service traction control and ABS light, this will go on & off, but now it stays on constantly. While turning left, there will be a grinding noise, car tends to reduce its power, like its hard for me to take off and my vehicle will kick so hard, like something is locking. Also another issue is while parked on a slanted carport, my vehicle will not go into reverse gear. I feel like my vehicle is going to break because, I have to force it to get into reverse gear, that the vehicle will make the loudest noise, like my axle is going to break on me. According to the dealers service department its not showing up on there diagnostic as any issues. Can someone please tell me if there is a recall on my vehicle? There was a known recall, but my VIN# is not showing up. Dealers are trying to cheat me
When turning left the vehicle makes a grinding noise and the warning light to service stabilitrak, service traction control, and service ABS come on. This is more noticeable at low speeds or when turning from a stopped position. The vehicle also shakes when accelerating or maintaining any sleek greater than 25mph. The shake is most noticeable between 45-60mph, and becomes less noticeable between 61-70mph.
My car started giving me an error code of service stabilitrac, service brake assist, and my traction and ABS light comes on like a year ago. I have had control arms replaced, cv axles, hubs, etc. I have basically replaced the entire front suspension trying to rid this problem but to no avail it's still giving me this warning. It's causing my car to slip when I turn corners or try to accelerate. It's causing pulling and loss of speed in the engine . This problem is costing me alot of money as well as frustration. Please look into this matter urgently thank you
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet impala. When the contact placed the vehicle in reverse, the ABS and service traction warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that another unknown warning indicator also illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the passenger side wheel bearing failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred whenever the vehicle was started or while attempting to make left or right turns. The vehicle was not repaired the manufacturer was made aware of the failures and opened case number: 8-2855204461. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000. Updated 07/11/17*lj
Intermittent ABS, traction control, stabilitrak issues have been happening for the last few years. It startyed at about 80k miles. I have replaced the wheel hub twice due to a loose bearing. This significantly reduced the problem the first time, but has not resolved the issue the second time. It tends to happen when the vehicle is jarred (such as hitting a pot hold on a dirt road) or when turning hard to the right while accelerating. If it happens a few times within a short time, then the system will ABS, stabilitrak, and traction control systems shut down. It
At first it was when backing up and turning sharp. The traction control message would come on and a grinding like sound from the front driver wheel area. Later it included the ABS warning and would also occur after backing with turn and going forward at that moment. Now randomly when pulling out and the service air bag light comes on. Recently also the oil pressure low message and dummy light come on 3-4 times before stopping (and yes the oil pressure is good with correct oil, tires, pressure, brakes, sensors all check good). Best guess diagnostics is shorting in wiring harness that can not be located until it fails completely. However with grabbing with traction control when pulling out and air bag problems it is obvious this is a safety hazard.
Lately as I am driving a message pops up on the dash. It says service traction control, service stabilitrak and service brake assist. Also the ABS light is on and the no traction light is on. The reason I am reporting this is because I am hearing people who have the same model but different year say they are the same problem.
