| Brakes intermittently apply themselves without warning. happened previous to this incident several times at lower speeds. i'm not sure if brake lights activate when this happens making this a highly dangerous situation. dealer had vehicle three weeks, charged for labor and parts, then stated that they thought they had the problem fixed but couldn't get the automatic traction control light to go out or the dic to not display service stability system. vehicle was okay for about four weeks then brakes started activating at low speed again. contacted gm, they refuse to help because vehicle has branded title. suggested i take it back to same dealer and pay them to diagnose a problem they can't fix. *tr | |||

| 2008 chevrolet uplander with transmission problems. consumer states when he went down a slight down hill grade, he went down the grade on an angle. the right wheel contacted the road before the left wheel. *kb as the consumer started to accelerate, he heard the stability control activate. the vehicle immediately pitched forward 3 or 4 times. the consumer believed either the transmission was locking up or the front brakes were locking on. the consumer regained control of the vehicle and started to go forward. *jb | |||
