THEN ON ANOTHER OCCASION I MISSED THE STOP SIGN AND HAD TO DRIVE OVER THE CURB BECAUSE THE BRAKES GAVE OUT, COULDN'T AVOID IT, HAD TO GO ON THE CURB TO STOP, GOING ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR! IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS ALREADY, GOT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL HUB/SENSOR REPLACED, BUT AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE FAULT RECURRED, THE ABS AND THE T/C LIGHT TURN ON, AFTER READING SIMILAR STORIES I'M RELUCTANT TO PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO THIS PROBLEM, APPARENTLY, THE " THE PIG-TAIL HARNESS" FIX SEEMS TO BE THE GO-TO METHOD FOR THE FIX, WILL BE DOING THAT SOON MYSELF! PLEASE GM CORPORATION DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GET'S HURT!
