Brakes
Hi,
Something I've never heard of.
This has happened 3 times in the last week, I'm pulling up to a stop sign and apply the brakes lightly and the right front (I think) locks up squealing the tire then releases as quickly as it grabbed.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Sort of afraid to drive the car now

When the excitement happens again,,,,, Look down at the DIC and see if you see Active Handling Active OR Some message in the DIC.
Could be a defective steering wheel position sensor causing your issues. If your steering wheel is way off center, it can also cause similar issues/

This can also happen if a wheel speed sensor signal drops out. I have seen it before on gm products. It may not set a code. You wheel need a scanner that can graph them. Watch the 2 fronts. If one flat lines or spikes low change it. Be careful, if it does not come with the harness. Sometimes the wires break where they move with the suspension.
