ABS /Traction Control Problem ????

[AAHTahoe]

Sunday after watching a disappointing Steeler loss to the AZ Cardinals I sat in stop and go parking lot traffic for 45 minutes. Had my foot on the brake pedal for much of the time. The 07 Tahoe ran fine after getting out of the parking lot until I stopped at a fast food window (About 20 miles later from stadium.). I heard a small thump and saw the DIC display the Traction Control and Stabilitrac service message. Once I got to where I could pull over I turned the truck off waited a minute (Per the manual.) and started the truck back up. As per the manual, it cleared the DIC service messages but now the ABS or traction control is acting up. I if I slowly roll to a stop there is no issue. But if I have to apply medium pressure to the brake pedal from about 20 MPH or above, it feels as if the ABS is taking over or the traction control is doing something to the front wheels. It has that feeling like you're coming to a stop on snow and the front just slides a little then catches dry pavement. Has anyone else experienced this or can offer any insight into this (Other than going to the dealer which I will do.). Any information is greatly appreciated.

Definately an issue for the Dealer to look into. I wouldn't hesitate in calling them ASAP for an appt.

I just had the same issue last week. I took it into the dealer and it was an electronic module in the steering column that was defective. They replaced it under warranty and the dealership stated it is an ongoing issue and there may be a recall underway soon.

How many miles on you're truck?

I took the truck to the dealership (24,000 miles on the truck), they said that there is a software update to download regarding the ABS system that they have performed. The brake rotors needed to be turned as well as the tires needed to be rotated and rebalanced which they said should take care of the shimmy in the steering wheel when braking. The non-warranty items will cost $150.00 total. So if this resolves the problem - I'm happy! So far so good.

If the tire pressure among your tires varies enough your ABS can do strange things, make sure your pressure is the same for all tires. ABS is sensitive to varying tire condition also, especially on wet or icy surfaces.
