I would be driving down a road and suddenly the engine would die. I would immedeiately have no power steering nor power brakes. This happened several times. I have now stopped driving the car. No codes would show. My mechanic cannot find anything. When I take it to him, it did not act up. It is intermittent. Sometimes it would start right back up. Other times it would take hours or many hours before it would finally restart.

I started to hear a slight clicking sound when I pressed on my brakes, only every once in a while, like the sound I would hear when I would hit a pot hole in the road while I was braking and my "low traction" light would come on. It progressively had started to get worse over the course of the month. I have had two garages look at my car, and they cannot figure out what is making the repeated and very evident clicking sound everytime the brakes are touched. I have had a diagnostic test done on the car and no codes are showing up. They say it could be the ABS module, but they are not sure, and that I would have to bring it to the dealership to have it investigated further. They were (the garages) both puzzled at what this sound would be caused by.

I have a 1999 monte carlo that repeatedly has engaged the ABS brake system for no apparent reason at low speeds only, often decreasing the ability to stop the car. I have seen many published reports of this problem in gm trucks and would like it known its not limited to trucks/SUV's.

In wet weather you can't stop car, on the highway if you step on the brake pedal it is very hard. Often car will go 200 yards or more without any brakes before they engage. There is a special policy on this but didn't help.

This complaint is for the 1999 chevrolet monte carlo. A pulsation was being felt when the brakes were applied (even on dry pavement). The fear is that this defect may cause a future crash. What I eventually discovered is that the ringed gears the wheel speed sensors detect vehicle speed with had cracked. First the left side near 50000 miles; later the right side near 68000 miles. The gap from the crack is sending the ABS computer false speed signals. The ABS computer does not give a warning code for this. It "acts" as if trying to stop on ice, even though the pavement is dry (I.e. Pulsations in pedal). My temporary fix for the moment was to disconnect a connector for the ABS system to cause the ABS to shut down and allow non-ABS braking. Since the fix will be in the hundreds of dollars, I'm hoping for a safety recall. The ringed gear is clearly a defective part.
