Brake Antilock Wheel Speed Sensor Problems of Chevrolet Malibu

The vehicle runs fine other than when the problems start acting up. It is a bcm issue involving the stabilitrak and abs. Every few weeks or so, I'll get 3 service light ups in my dash stating �service vehicle soon, service stabilitrak, service brake assist, reduced power steering drive with care� after coming to a stop. When I go to take off the car will rev up and down then those messages pop up as I cannot speed up or drive. Once the vehicle comes to a stop it shuts off and won't turn back on until about 10 minutes later. I've put $700 in it replacing speed sensors, vacuum pump and vacuum sensor and the problem still occurs. If it were to happen on the highway this could be very dangerous as it already occurred at an intersection stoplight in columbus ohio.

Ii bought my 2017 Chevrolet Malibu LS in August of 2017, in January of 2018 my first engine light warning came on with message "shift to park" came on when the car was already in park. I moved to denver, CO in June of 2018 , during my long while driving through the rockies the check engine light came on showing "stability track issues. In November 2018 while my family was driving home in a snow storm yet another engine light showing "engine powewr reduced" the car went from a 45 mph drive on the freeway because of heavy snow to almost 20 mph too slow for freeway speeds even in snow. I took it to the chevy dealership they said it was a dirty speed sensor. While driving on the highway at 70 mph I was reaching the end of the freeway when the car completely shut off, I reacted by hitting my brakes but the pedal was hard as a rock, I looked up and I was fastly approaching an intersection so I used the emergency brake got on the riight dirt shoulder, and was able to slow it down to about 35 mph before reaching the intersection where I took a sharp right turn to avoid hitiing cars in front of me and spun out. The car ishowed a message "no remote detected: it would crank but not start . Being that the car warrenty was already expired I had it towed to a local mechanics shop where they discovered a code reading "brake booster sensor" they discovered a shattered vacuum pump. I got it replaced with a new one as well as the brake sensor. I still haven't been able to start it. Because of covid-19 and my financial situation I have not taken it to a dealership. I am saving to have it towed there and hopefully repairing it but I'm sure it's not going to be wallet friendly. We were excited when we bought our first new car it didn't last long. Now hopefully a recall and some justice for us hard working people that want only a reliable car with no hidden repair surprises.

1998 Chevrolet Malibu abs light comes on. When braking, the brake pedal goes all the way down and brakes don't work correctly, making the stopping distance longer. We took the car to the dealer and they replace the front speed sensor. A few months later it started to do the same thing again. And since haven't been able to fix this problem. Also, when braking the car vibrates, I know that it's do to the front rotors, needing to be replace, but I was looking on the number of complaints that this type of cars has and don't find it to be a coincidence. Surely there is some thinking we can do to fix this problem or are we going to have to wait till someone get injured or killed. It is notably that this is a safety issue that needs to be taken care of now. We have cars on the street that have faulty brake systems, if that is not a safety issue then call me crazy. Hopefully some one get back to me.
