Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Trax owners report experiencing brakes locking up while driving, which may be linked to issues with the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) or the vehicle's computer system. A faulty ABS system can lead to brakes locking up, as it is designed to prevent such occurrences during braking. Additionally, a malfunctioning ABS module may cause unpredictable behavior, resulting in brakes locking up even under normal driving conditions. Furthermore, problems with the vehicle's computer systems can disrupt the proper functioning of the brakes, leading to similar issues. Brake fluid problems, including issues with brake lines and hoses, can also affect the ABS system's performance and contribute to brakes locking up. It is crucial for owners to react promptly to such situations to avoid accidents and ensure they are using the correct brake fluid to maintain optimal braking performance.
