general problems of the 2001 Chevrolet Impala

1. There were really no events that led up to the failure. 2. The abs system started engaging at inappropriate times (when traction control was not warranted--completely dry). This started out sporadically but has since become daily. At first, just the abs engaged and the "traction active" light illuminated. Now, it will cause the traction control system to disarm itself and the "service traction system" light will illuminate. 3. The front hub assembly was replaced 4 times with 4 different parts.

The abs system on my 2001 Chevrolet Impala engages and the "traction active" light comes on when making a sharp turn from a stopped position. The light goes off and the abs system disengages within about 5 seconds. This happens at least once each time the car is driven. Three trips to the local Chevrolet dealer and no repairs made and no solution thus far. The chevy dealer says they cannot duplicate the problem.

Trac control abs problems it makes a grinning noise and it very hard to press brakes.

Service traction system/abs several months ago I noticed the traction feature engaging without cause. It began to get worse and engages mostly when you turn (either direction), but happens very often. Took to dealer was told it needed new wheel bearings, had both replaced (which was very pricey) and it was okay for about 3 months and has since started again. This is very dangerous, when the traction is engaged it makes it very difficult to stop when braking, it causes a delay in stopping. I've asked other mechanics, nobody is sure what to do to fix the problem but all have heard several of the same complaints. I googled the problem in hopes of finding a solution, to no avail, but there are 1000's of similar complaints online for the 2001 Impala. There should definitely be a recall. . . . . This is very dangerous!!.
