THE WIRE HARNESS THAT CONTROLS THE LEFT FRONT ABS AND STABILITRAK BROKE CAUSING THE ABS TO ENGAGE ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY 2013 CHEVY IMPALA IS HAVING ISSUE WITH THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTIL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST, WHEN PRESSING BRAKE YOU CAN FEEL IT PULSATING AND THE CAR SLIDES. THE CAR ALSO DECELERATES ON IT'S ON AND THEN STARTS BACK ACCELERATING. MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND CHEVY HAS YET TO RECALL THE VEHICLE, I'VE TAKING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL PLACES AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

ABS MULTIPLE TIMES THIS VEHICLE WILL LOCK UP THE BRAKES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING LOT OR MAKE A TURN FROM A SLOW SPEED I.E. AN INTERSECTION THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON IT AS WELL MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM ITS OUT THERE AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK. THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME WHEN TURNING FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR SLOW SPEED OF ANYWHERE FROM 1MPH TO 15MPH.
