  SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP

  CONSUMER HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP SIX TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE WHENEVER APPLYING BRAKES, IF BRAKING UNDER 15 MPH THE NOISE WILL BE VERY LOW, BUT NOTICEABLE. ALSO THE NOISE WILL PROGRESS AS THE DAY GO ON. *AKWHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A BAG OF BOLTS. DEALER CHANGED BRAKE PADS TWICE, SAND THEM, GRIND DOWN THE ROTORS, CALLED GM TECHNICHIAN AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CONSUMER IS LEASING VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO AN ENGINEER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
