When wheels are turned to the right either slightly or all the way the traction control kicks in, loss of power and loss of brakes when abs also kicks in. Bought the 2002 chevy Impala LS just a week ago. This issue started as very intermittent but I can re-create the issues now just about every time I drive the car by turning right from a stop. At this point nothing has been done to fix the issue because no one knows why it is happening.
My 2002 chevy Impala 3. 8l v-6 has a problem with the traction control engaging when braking in turns to the left. This causes the brakes to slip and grind. A humming sound can be heard when this occurs. The traction control and sometimes the "check abs " light becomes illuminated at the same time. The car has been taken to a local chevy dealer for repair. Both right and left front wheel hub assemblies were replaced. I requested a check of wiring harnesses to see if there was deterioration. None was apparently found by the shop. I'm afraid to drive this car or allow others in my family to drive it incase the brakes can't engage properly. From reading online accounts of other drivers, I am not the only one with this problem with a Chevrolet of this model. After having the right front hub assembly replaced, I thought it was fixed. Then after having the left front replaced as well to the tune of around $500. 00 a piece, I though the problem was fixed. Not so. Where does this end. I urge you to look into a recall of this model and have gm ultimately fix this problem and avoid allowing for a possible accident with injuries or death.

I urge you to look into a recall of this model and have gm ultimately fix this problem and avoid allowing for a possible accident with injuries or death. This is something that gm knows there is a problem and again should be recalled.
