While leaving our house to go to work the rear differential signal/ anti skid dashboard came on and the truck refused to go. It had not power. We had to replace the sensor. After that the stabilitrak and the anti skid and the ABS light keeps coming on taking away my anti lock brakes and making my car unsafe to drive. I also haul my horse so it is too dangerous to move my horse anywhere when this service light keeps coming on. It has not come on while hauling anything. It comes on randomly with absolutely no weight in or on the truck. This has happened 3 more times within the last month.

My problem started around october 25, 2014, a week before I took it to the dealership.. The back brakes started to chatter when I applied the brakes. It was coming from the back brakes not the front.. The dealership told me the inspection showed the lr wheel cylinder leaking heavily and contamination shoes. Rr also seeping. Nec to replace rear wheel cylinders and bleed system. Replaced rear shoes and cleaned affected areas. Resurfaced drums and reassembled. I paid $514.74 for this, and with a reward card, I got $15.00 off, bringing the total to $499.74. I talked to the service mgr. From hamilton chevrolet on 11/7/14, and he said he would see if he could get me a refund for half of the charge, and should get the check from gm in about two wks. I feel that this is a gm problem, and with only 35, 574 miles on my truck this should not have happened. I am a 73 yr. Old retire, and having to pay for this repair really set me back. I have owned many gm vehicles, and have never had any problems. I take care of my vehicles, and make sure they are serviced regularly. I would appreciate it if you could look into this, and get back to me. Thank you.
I was driving and was pulling into a parking spot and the vehicle accelerated instead of slowing down and coming to a stop causing it to collide with the brick building I do not what the truck speeded up to but both of the airbags went off and I missed a little 5 year old girl by about 2 inches.
