2003 GMC Envoy: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed May 3, 2017 · Brakes · 5 miles · PA

My complaint is about the ABS brakes warning light and the feel of the brakes while in motion. When coming to a stop, reachibg 5mph, the brakes performance is feeling a resistant andjerky. It is as if the brakes do not want to press all the way down when completely stopping. The warning light on my dash says, "service ABS brakes." this is a rather scarey feel coming from the brake peddle.

Due to a brake pressure modulator valve problem (open/shorted circuit), the ABS system engages at about 8 MPH in low speed stopping situations on wet and dry driving surfaces causing temporary engine stalling and power steering control loss and lengthened distance needed to stop, increasing the risk of crash.

While driving, several indicator lights came on in the instrument panel. (ABS, seatbelt, battery primarily) these lights stay on for a while and then go off, one by one. After putting the car in park, the battery life meter dropped to zero. I turned the car off and the car would not re-start. After having it towed to a repair shop, the battery itself tested that it was good. I replaced the battery, anyway, hoping it solved the issues, but the lights on the instrument panel continue to turn on while driving. After a day or so, they turn off and then days later will come on again. I have had this car checked multiple times by two different repair shops and neither could find a solution outside of replacing the instrument panel. After searching the internet, this seems to be a known problem with this car and other gmc models have been recalled for the same problem. Why hasn't the envoy been included? It's obviously a problem with this model as well. (although, other than the airbag recall, I have never received notices about any other recalls regarding my vehicle even though it appears there have been other issues).

The vehicle was in service 3 times within 14 days, gm says the problem was the ignition switch, I say the source of the problem has not been fixed. Engine stalled 6 times in moving traffic, the "ABS" warning light is on, some time the "check engine soon" light comes on. Dealer replaces throttle body injection assembly. Next day the vehicle stalls again with same symptoms. Dealer replaced ignition switch again. !4 hours later engine stalls in moving traffic. Dealer installs event recording device, engine stalls and identified low ignition voltage (6.7 vs 13.6 vdc). Source of problem could not be identified, dealer says vehicle is safe to drive. We filed a lemon law claim.
