Abs failure. While applying the brakes coming to a stop, the ABS starts engaging making the vehicle pull to one side and making it almost impossible to get vehicle stopped in time because of the ABS engaging. This is happening sporadically. And has happened many times with my wife driving. Very unsafe. I have heard of this happening to a lot of other suburbans.
