Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW. THE ENTIRE YEAR I HAVE HAD THIS CRAPPY VEHICLE IT HAS DONE THIS. EVERY TIME I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BREAKS IT PULSATES BACK AT ME AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO A FEW DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS THE ABS SENSOR IN THE WHEEL HUB. SO I REPLACED THE WHEEL HUBS AND THAT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. IT STILL PULSATES AND GRINDS EVERY TIME I STOP. THE BREAK LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATE AFTER THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND VERY DANGEROUS. I LIVE IN WISCONSIN AND WITH THE SNOW AND ICE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! I HAVE A KIDS WHO I DRIVE AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE!! GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS!
