Just want to say thanks to anyone who reads and replies first and foremost. My girlfriend had just got a 2006 G6 Gt Coupe a few months ago and I've finally come across a really nice forum. We recently had to change the right front wheel bearing and now when we go around 70 the abs light comes on and the traction control off light comes on, on the dash. Also the brakes seem to give out at random times almost how it feels when you try to stop on snow or ice.. I dont think its very safe and if anyone has any ideas on what to do please feel free to let me know! We bought the part brand new from autozone and had someone put it on thats a good backyard mechanic with his own garage and everything. Looking forward to seein everyones G6!

Take it to a real mechanic and get it checked out. Your situation sounds very unsafe don't wait on this. -

Yeah i agree with Pete. Go to a real one and find out what it is. I would also avoid going past or around 70 as well. Thats just calling for an accidentComment

Re: NEW TO THE FORUM HAVE A SERIOUS QUESTION?!
unplug one of the abs sensors. this will disable the abs and not cause it to do that anymore. can you tell what wheel is making the noise and locking up? if its the one you replaced bring it back and get a better one (autozone sucks). if its not that bad bring it to someone who can read abs codes to find out exactly what part of the abs is failing.
just because he was a backyard mechanic doesn't mean he sucks. a wheel bearing simply bolts in, and has one abs connector...can't really screw it up unless he didnt actually bolt it back in.....sigpic

Re: NEW TO THE FORUM HAVE A SERIOUS QUESTION?!
The brakes seem to be the first priority here. You should check the entire system. Check the brake master cylinder fluid, check the pads and rotors on all four corners for wear, and bleeding the system a bit may also help.
The ABS and TC lights sound like a sensor or wiring issue. Is the a CEL along with it? Either way, you may want to have Autozone pull any codes. This is free and only takes a minute.1972 F100

Another thing I just thought of is if someone did your brakes and they didn't compress the caliper piston back correctly it could screw up your abs.sigpic

Re: NEW TO THE FORUM HAVE A SERIOUS QUESTION?!
I had the same issue on my 06 GTP. Its was the a sensor cable that ran behind the front wheels. They might have been damaged and you need to be replaced. I was passing thru OHIO at the time. And didnt have that many options to chose from. So I paid a arm and leg to get it fix. The ABS light and traction light in dash is the same issue. I have that problem still but when i get a chance I'm gonna take it to the shop. It doesnt effect my brake system but its annoying when i start up the 6 and get that annoying ding-ding.Comment

Sounds like the exact problem I had with my 08 GT. It was from the actual boot surrounding the caliper piston tearing. Some warnings popped up, and speed as well. The only thing is that it wasn't from replacing a wheel bearing just doing the brakes.
