WHILE COMING TO A QUICK STOP TO AVOID A VEHICLE WHICH RAN A RED LIGHT,MY CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END. I PROCEEDED A COUPLE OF MILES AND WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN THE FRONT STARTED VIBRATING AND SHAKING AGAIN. I HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED BY MY LOCAL GMC DEALER. TO MY SURPRISE THEY FOUND THE BRAKES WERE WELL IN RANGE OF SPECS. I LEFT THINKING EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE NEXT DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN I REACHED 50 MPH IT STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. SEEMS EVERY TIME I HAD APPLIED MY BRAKES AGGRESSIVELY THE FRONT OF THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COLLAPSE. I AGAIN HAD THE TECH GUY LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME THEY FOUND THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL WAS READING FAULT.

MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DIC STATING "POWER STEERING". A FEW DAYS LATER IT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO TURN AT LOWER SPEEDS.
