Driving on the highway and abs, stabltrack and steering lights came on. This is the third time in 2 years that a wheel bearing failed on this vehicle. A magnet ring in the wheel bearing that sensors wheel speed failed and fractured causing a loss of power steering, abs, and traction control.

I was driving down the highway at 75 mph with my kids in the car and the vacuum pump for the brakes went out which caused my brake pedal to seize up and car brakes would not work while in traffic. I was barely able to get off the highway and get the car to stop. This issue with the pump failing also put debris into the motor and caused motor failure. There was no warning lights on the dash and car was running normal and then all the sudden no brakes out of nowhere. Car is now in a mechanic garage to be fixed. This issue put not only my life and my childrens lives in GREAT danger but also the drivers around me. GM currently has a massive recall for this same issue on other models but my Buick regal is not on the list.

Out of know where my breaking system just decided to stop my automobile. I had brought my car back to the dealership proximally 10 times and it started about a month after I purchased it for the same problems. My new ABS system makes a loud noise once it decides to go on. I know that sometimes for example going under a bridges or going around curves could activate my system. There is absolutely no warning when this car decides to stop on its own, it happen even when there isn't cars, or curves it's just decides to slam on the brakes to stop. It when there nothing in front of my car. I don't line is this one of the apples it scares the [xxx] out of me. You can go from 50 miles an hour to zero without any warning.
