ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT REMAIN ON 90% OF THE TIME I AM DRIVING. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ON TWO OCCASIONS HAD THE LEFT WHEEL BEARING AND HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY $450.00. THAT IS WHAT THE COMPUTER CODES INDICATED. THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT THEN IT RETURNED. THE LAST TIME THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR THREE HOURS. THIS DISABLES ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS FROM OPERATING. IT IS PROBABLY A SHORT CIRCUIT OR BRAKE SENSOR PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A PONTIAC, GOVERNMENT-MANDATED RECALL TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED 1 YEAR AGO. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER AGREED TO FIX A SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED. IN THE LAST WEEK I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM AGAIN GETTING THAT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. AT 35 MILES PER HOUR THE STEERING WHEEL ABOUT JUMPS OUT OF YOUR HAND WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT A REASONABLE PRESSURE WHEN SLOWING. IF I WERE TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY WHERE FAST BRAKING WERE NEEDED I DO NOT KNOW IF I COULD HOLD THE CAR ON THE ROAD THE SHAKING IS THAT BAD. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRONG AND WHY THE ROTORS ARE NOT HOLDING UP. CAN YOU HELP ME.*AK
