2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed May 14, 2011 · Brakes, Fuel system · 130,000 miles · WI

Gas gauge not working, registers full even when not full. Low fuel light will come on if you idle for a few minutes. At the same time this started the ABS light service traction system came on. This has also occurred with our 2002 buck century at approximately the same # of miles and again both the gas gauge reads inaccurately and the ABS light came on.***

The contact owns a 2002 oldsmobile silhouette. The day she pulled out of the parking lot with the vehicle, the ABS light, and traction off light came on. When she drove off the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal both began to wobble and vibrate. The dealer told her that the accelerator pedal vibrating will stop if she turns the traction system off. That same day. When coming out of the driveway both the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal would vibrate and would not let her press the brakes or accelerate until it stops vibrating. The keyless remote worked the first times she examined the vehicle. Once off the parking lot it would not work, it would only lock the vehicle and it made the alarm system activate. She was told by the dealer to buy a battery for the keyless remote. When she did, it still did not work. The alarm system would only deactivate when she opened the drivers door with the key and turned the vehicle on. All of the tires on the vehicle had to be replaced. The current mileage was 76,000, and the failure mileage was 75,900. The purchase date was 03/14/2008. Kg

Brakes, air conditioning, wheel hub & ABS, fuel pump. Wheel bearings disable awd. Been replaced 8 times. Fuel pump went out at 52000 part alone $400. Air conditioning out when bought it. They scammed me and put a sealant in the condeser and sold it in the winter. These item should be replaced by gm because its an on giong problem with the bearing hubs and a bad design on the condenser. My father inlaw works for gm along with other family members. I will not buy another gm product again!!! P.s. Who ever was the bright one to design tail light that plug in from the top and let water fill you tail light should be fired!!!dk

Just prior to 40,000 miles, my service engine soon light came on and my ABS disabled light illuminated. After I stopped the car and restarted it, the lights went away. Then a few days later it happened again and I began to notice a rumbling sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The noise changed pitch depending on the speed of the car. It almost sounded like the transmission was roaring prior to changing gears, but it wasn't the transmission itself because the noise did not correlate to actual gear changes. I took the car to a chevy dealer service department and they determined that the wheel bearings (which is a whole hub assembly that includes ABS and awd components) in the front drivers side needed to be replaced. A couple of weeks later, the rear passenger side wheel bearings (and the whole hub assembly)had to be replaced. As soon as I got the car back, the noise was still audible in the front and they replaced the front passenger side hub assembly. When the car reached 54,000 miles, the rumbling noise was again audible from the rear and the dealer replaced the final hub assembly in the drivers side rear. The dealer took the car for a test drive and the noise was still present and they determined they had to replace the right rear hub assembly for the 2nd time. This is 5 hub assemblies between 40,000 and 54,000 miles on the car. There is no way that anyone will convince me that this is not a manufacturing defect. This car has all wheel drive. At this point, it seems that the replacing of these hub assemblies will be an ongoing maintenance issue that could affect the wheel bearings, ABS or the awd system, or all of the above.

Seatbelt-2nd row passenger side belt keeps pulling tighter and tighter and locking. Children would refuse to wear it because of the discomfort. Replaced and seems fine now. Computer control- still ongoing, battery light keeps coming on and off, alternater has been replaced, still happening. Service traction control,traction control off indicator light, ABS indicator light, air bag indicator light, all come on at the same time. Van hesitates and the headlights go dim then bright. Dealer hasn't been able to pinpoint trouble but after they work on it, it goes away for about 3 weeks and starts again.
