I have had the same problem as others, just worse. When it gets cold outside my vehicle will not stay running. You turn the key, the vehicle will start, then shut off giving a "reduced engine power", "service traction system", "ABS error". I have had this in 2 winters in a row for this. I have spent hundreds of dollars and it is still doing it. Right as I speak it is stuck at work doing the same thing. Now I need to have it towed!! Grr.

Traction Control and ABS Break System Lights Come on while driving and disable those items. Seems to do it when it is cold. I do not know if a sensor gets covered with slush or what. The Anti-lock brakes and traction control work right away when the car starts but it ends up not working once I am driving. It is kind of scary since you could be in a middle of a long drive when this happens. There is no telling when these will fail. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this occurs or what the solution can be?

Well first my ABS would kick on for no reason at all when I was driving and it was usually when I was going less than 30 mph, then my "service ABS system" light and "service traction control" light would come on. It didn't bother me to much until about a month or two ago when I started to here a ticking sound when I would go to stop and it's only when I'm pushing on my brakes (not hard or anything though) Now it's gotten very repetitive and if I'm slowing down with my foot on the brakes and turning right it makes a horrible clunking noise. I still haven't heard a solution for it or what it could be.I have had this car for less than 2 years and I am very unhappy with it. I would NEVER recommend this car to anyone else. This will be the last pontiac I will ever get.
