The brakes would pulse and come on while the vehicle was in motion followed by the service stability light. The vehicle would shake violently as if it were out of control. The transmission would slip at times. A service bulletin was found in re to the clutch. The forward clutch seal/piston diss pump as well as the shift cable. The yaw rate sensor table was replaced and the ABS module was reprogrammed. There was popping coming from the left when turning due to the crossmember.
