Brake pedal started vibrating almost uncontrollably when attempting to stop so I had brake pads replaced. When I picked up the car the technician told me my pads were still good and hadn't needed changing but they changed anyway. The next shop resurfaced my rotors but the problem persisted. It stopped on it's own but every once in a while it will do it still.
While accelerating the vehicle isnt shifting in the proper way it should. There is a chain rattling kind of sound from the engine as it accelerates, closer to the driver side. While braking, the brakes pads are all new, it will sometimes make a grinding sound and have little to no brake resistance if you hit a bump. All in a straight motion.
Sounds like the brakes grinding, starts unsafe stopping distance and happens out of blue, I have to constantly keep trying to push the brakes so it can stop. At times brakes will also be hard as rock no warning and have no brakes at all, been happening off and on. Abs/tc lights on, I was told I needed new hub bearing assembly, rotors and brake pads, all was changed and still not fixed. I keep reading about a pig tail harness but don¿t know the correct part number or its location. Started around March/2016 and its ongoing, almost got hit yesterday because the truck wouldn't brake.
Problem with abs system. When stopping at low speeds ( 5mph) the abs system engages every time. We have had all brake pads, shoes, rotors, and disc replaced. Still have the problem. Have seen a lot of the same issuses appearing on internet forumns. As this is a safety issue how many complaints do we need before a recall is issued. Will it take a death? since g. M. Has so many recalls now why not include this.
