This vehicle is one of several that have been reported to have problems with wheel speed and psi sensors, which then causes the traction control to believe computer wise it has no traction, therefore the light is always on and the computer sometimes shut the traction control off when it needs to be on.

My initial thought was worn pads. I pulled the wheels and calipers and pads were good. However i could not compress the dual pistons back into the housing on either side until i loosened the bleeder screw. Being careful to not get air…

I was concerned that there would be a fire. The vehicle would not go backward or forward. A tow truck had to be called. The diagnosis was the power brake booster, which they replaced. Two weeks later the car locked up again. Now they are saying the entire…

My car is starting to stall and…
