    So I'm driving to work this morning stop for coffee and as I'm pulling away from 711 i get the traction light. At first i thought i accidentally pushed it off but i push it and reset and alert goes away.

    A few hundred yards down the road i hear a weird buzzing humming sound (used to hear it all the time before replacing bearings) i hit the brakes and they feel locked,it makes this humming sound even louder and the brake pedal is stiff,little to no reaction and i have to slam on the pedal to get it for stop, all while making a nasty grinding noise like something is in between pads and rotor.

    I pulled to the side and pumped brakes a few times checked for any leaks and to see i had enough brake fluid,nothing out of order. The remaining drive was perfect, has anything like this happened to anyone?

    You have an ABS problem. Bad hub, bad wire to a hub, or module on the way out.
    Time to read the codes it stored.

    Rear hub can cause ABS issues as well.
