My denali has been in for repairs several times over the last few months and they cannot find what is happening. My stability disabled and traction active lights/sensors keep coming on. Mass air flower and sensors have been replaced and the messages still keep coming on. My truck has even lost speed in midst of driving. I have small children that I transport and this is not safe. Gm should have a recall in place for this issue - it is all over the internet and there is another complaint on here about this! Please help solve this issue!
