On december 12, 2009, I was driving down the road and made a right hand turn. At that time, my car made a loud noise (my husband thought I ran over a trash can) the brakes immediately came on and the car pulled to the right. I moved forward again and immediately the brakes came on again and pulled the right. The stability system activated came on. I had to drive very slow to get my car home and this happened the whole way. I was very close to my home. A computer has been put on the car and the codes don't make sense to the mechanic. The car was then towed to the garage, has been there since 12/17/09 and they can not figure out what is going on. If I would have been out on the highway we would have been killed. What auto co. Would put a system on your vehicle that would throw your brakes on for no reason.

What owners say
The vehicle wanders while driving and is very unstable, the consumer believes the 15" wheel configuration is the cause of the problem. Nlm
Engine stopped while driving down a hill, about 55 MPH, and entering a left curve. Vehicle, w/o brakes or steering, pulled to the right, going onto the berm and then doing a 360 degree turn in the middle or roadway, hitting guardrail and then sliding off roarway, over a slope, into a field.
The general tires are faulty causing the vehicle to pull to the left while passing other vehicles, alignments and rotations have been performed but the problems still exist, the tires have 1800 miles on them. Nlm
While driving at highway speeds vehicle severly pulls to the right or the left cause unknown. Dealer can not identify the problem. Problem still exists after 2 alignments. *ak
This car almost continuously wanders from one side of a lane to the other. It is extremely dangerous to drive especially in tight traffic conditions. You spend all of your time steering back and forth to try and keep it going straight. On breezy days forget it, you can feel the car swaying back and forth under you making it even more difficult to control. I filled out a questionnaire from gm when I first got the car and told them "between the sloppy suspension and the over sensitive steering, this is the worst car I have ever driven" and I meant it.
