Started by truck, the brakes and ABS lights came on, also engine light. After turning off and wait a few minutes, I restarted my truck. Lights were off. I drive approx 33 miles to work everyday. When I arrived to work, as I was parking it sounded like my brakes were grinding and hard to move my truck. It became difficult to drive it, like something was holding it back. When I was leaving to go home, nothing, everything seemed ok. Approx 5 minutes before getting home, I was at a light and when I push the gas to go, the noise came back and it was very hard to get my truck to move. Finally got it home, I told my son what happened, he took it for a drive and nothing. For the next few days only here and there maybe I would hear the grinding noise and hard to move my truck. Yesterday 4/15/2013, I was going home and stop at light, my tuck did not move again, light something stopping it from moving. When it started moving the noise is so loud that it sounds like the whole bottom of my truck going to fall off. My truck was in the shop for the recall of sensor for window, they inspected the vehicle and I have a inspection that my truck was in the green for all, new rotors, new brakes all good. So I looked online and I can see that I am not the only person who is having this problem, but I do not see it on this sight. I am scared ... Do you know anything about this?

Stabilitrak/ABS engaging randomly while driving at regular and highway speeds!!!! While driving on the highway at 60mph stabilitrak light comes on, vehicle reduces speed,I can not accelerate, loud grinding sound from front end, vibration felt from brake pedal when I tried to depress the brakes. I had to pull over turn the vehicle off and restart. Very dangerous and scary situation semi was behind me and had to swerve to the other lane to avoid hitting me!!!!

Acs/ service stabilitrak light comes on while driving and to get it to go off I have to stop and turn the vehicle off and back on again. Also fuel gauge goes from full to empty even on a full tank of gas. When I turn my heat on it will only work on numbers 1-4. Number 5 is completely out. Also there's a squeak in my brakes that I cant get to go away. I replaced the rotors and brakes and had 2 new front wheel speed sensors put on because I was told that was what was causing the service stabilitrak light to come on. But that didn't fix my problem either. I have been told that because I bought my vehicle used and it had miles on it when purchased that nothing is covered under a warranty.
