What owners wrote

I was driving westbound and the street light turns yellow. I pressed on the brakes and all I heard was a clicking clattering sound (click, click, click) go off. My brakes did not work and the car kept going. As I got closer to the intersection, my light turns red and I am still pressing on the brakes for the car to stop but it doesn't, again all I hear is a clicking sound.

April 2012 CrashInjury

My repair stabiltrak light came on in the dash . The check engine light is illuminated, my traction control light , is on . My anti-lock brake light is on . All of sudden when I pull out into traffic my car loses power on acceleration and my anti-lock brakes engaged . I have to pull over so I'm not rear ended . This has happened to me driving on a city street and on highway . There is a serious problem with the stabiltrak/ traction control system. I only have 89,000 miles on my vehicle .
