I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DIC AND I LOST ENGINE POWER. ONE OF THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 AND THE ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED A VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO ME. THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I TRIED TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND WAS TOLD THEY CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOW I DONT EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO HAVE THEM FIX IT. HOW CAN A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS NOT BE FIXED BY GM!!
WHEN DRIVING 65MPH IN AN INTENSE RAINSTORM, WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE UP POSITION, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO QUICKLY TURN ON MY 4 WAYS AND TRY TO FIND THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PULL OVER (WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD) ON A VERY BUSY ROADWAY. THIS IS WHILE 7 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH ANOTHER BABY IN THE CAR. THE MOTOR RUNS BUT THE WIPERS ARE COMPLETELY DEAD SO I KNOW IT ISN'T A FUSE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS!
