Yup I took mine back twice for the "service rear axle BS" and then it happened for a 3rd time and I called GM and got a case#. I took it to dealership at appointed date and they went to work on it.
All three times they said it was wheel speed sensor on the same wheel. This time they replaced the sensor and the little gears the sensor connects to. But what they did find during all that was that there is protective shroud or something like that that was not reinstalled correctly and it rubbed on sensor causing it to fail. Each time they replaced sensor it only would last like 500 miles and go bad again. They figured only the first one was bad and because the same technician replaced the original and subsequent ones there were failures. The additional tech that was helping apparently did it by the book step by step and noticed the other tech skip a step and didn't install protective shroud in correct order and when they looked up close it was rubbing so they corrected it and I've been problem free for 10months and 7k miles.
Good luck and hope this helps!

I agree! I know it can be frustrating but it does happen at times and GM will get it right! I went thru it 3 times and I couldn't be happier now. FYI the dealership installed the Ceramic tint on the car while they had it and threw in a very very nice Car cover all free of charge for my troubles!!
