1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/29/2019

The service stabilitrak/abs/brake control lights turn on and off incessantly regardless of whether I'm moving, turning, breaking, etc. It's seemingly completely random. Every ime they do, the car dings, making the ride unbearable ("ding, ding, ding. . . Ding, ding, ding" ad naseum). This happened before and I had the vehicle serviced under warranty, a little over 1. 5 years ago. It's now happening again. Countless reports on forums indicate that it's a very common issue with the wiring harness going to the hub assembly. Gm should recall this. It's distracting, unsafe, and seemingly unfixable in the long term. This will be the second time I've fixed this in less than 50,000 miles driven.

2 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2018

While driving and usually making hard turn and braking the service stabilitrak, traction control, brake assist messages appear all at the same time and the abs light turned on. Had diagnostics checked on it and found code for front right wheel bearing and possible abs sensor. Had the wheel bearing and hub assembly replaced by professional auto repair shop. Drove home and as returning home, made left turn and braked and felt the brakes slightly lock up. Hit gas and all lights and messages reappeared. Serviced at 87,000 miles.
