All at once, each of those systems is out and needs service. Anyone hear this problem or have this problem with their GXP? Mine is an 05 with 14k miles.

That happened to me on one that I test drove off the lot. The calipers looked pretty rusty, so I'm guessing it was related.

#9 of 204 Control arm bushing separated on 2003 Grand Prix by garuda

Oct 10, 2006 (6:08 am)

Hi
 
 I was told the cleft front ontrol arm bushing separated on my 2003 Grand Prix, but I have not feeling anything abnormal while I am driving except when I press brake I can feel some vibration like ABS.
 
 Should I repair it immediately ? what's the consequence if I delay the repair?
 
Thanks.

#10 of 204 01 GP GT wheel bearing replacement - ABS/trac light on by johnnymm

Oct 24, 2006 (12:11 pm)

Changed the rear wheel bearing with no issues. Since then, the ABS light is on and my traction control is off. I cant turn it on. I have rechecked the sensor connection on the bearing hub, it seems to be ok. Unplugged the battery for 4 hours to reset the computer, hoping that would work but it didnt. Steering also feels sluggish - any idea what to do short of going to a garage? I have heard about an over the counter ABS "computer" but not sure if that will work.
