My car started giving me an error code of service stabilitrac, service brake assist, and my traction and ABS light comes on like a year ago. I have had control arms replaced, cv axles, hubs, etc. I have basically replaced the entire front suspension trying to rid this problem but to no avail it's still giving me this warning. It's causing my car to slip when I turn corners or try to accelerate. It's causing pulling and loss of speed in the engine . This problem is costing me alot of money as well as frustration. Please look into this matter urgently thank you

I have not had an accident yet, but I continue to have an issue with the control arm. I have received numerous letters from my insurance company regarding this issue but none from gm. The only correspondence I have received is the recall regarding the seat belt. It is my understanding that a broken control arm can result in a collision/fatality. I am a mother of four and this is my only vehicle. I have called gm customer service twice and I am told that my car is not under this recall. I am not understanding why. I would like this issue to be repaired free of charge.

May 9th, I parked my car in a school parking lot . Upon trying to move the car to go home I could not get it to go in to gear. I called for a tow truck, while waiting for a tow a friend of mine helped me remove the center console to see if we could locate the issue. We ended up having to manually depress a button on the side of the shifting system to get the car to go into gear. Once out of park the shifter moved freely between r/n/d. On 5-22-2010, while traveling approximately 15-20mph on my home street in my neighborhood the left front (driver) tie rod snapped in half sending my car up over the sidewalk curb and into the grass/trees. The car jerked hard left and was surging forward and hard to control and kept jerking pulling and surging for approx 75 feet until I was able to gain some control and get mycar back onto my street and into my driveway. It is undrivable and am waiting on a tow to the local chevy dealership to address these issues.
