When driving the ABS light illuminates, w/accompanying message: "service stabiltrak" followed by 'service traction control". Car grinds when turning left. Today the gas pedal felt like it was pushing back when pressed then it felt like it locked up for a second.

On 1/29/16 my car died and towed to dealer where I was told I need a transmission. The car only had 69000 6months ago dash board lights lit traction control, reduced engine power service stabilitrack ABS.when I would step on the accelaretor pedal it would make a winding noise go to the floor and pop back up again. As I was driving down the highway all of a sudden I had no acceleration car had died. L pulled to the side of the road a few minutes later started up again this happened numerous times I told my son he couldn't drive the car because I felt it was unsafe. I called the gm they gave me a coupon to have the a diagnostic check on it. In sept I went to the dealer and he scanned my car for codes I was told I needed a right front hub part number 13582664, a right wheel speed sensor harness, 10340314, accelerator pedal, 84018392, and a vent valve 2085252. I can't believe a car dealers would let a person leave not informing the customer what a safety issue this is. I drove the car for a day because I couldn't afford to fix it and was trying to come up with the money again the car died on me as I went to accelerate now the car is sitting in my yard dead as a doornail. I called the dealer and explain the situation to the dealer at lannan chevrolet in woburn and I spoke with the owner and the only response I got was what do you want there's a hundred thousand miles on the car I have been doing lots of research on this particular vehicle and I'm appalled between a 2008 and a 2011 there has been hundreds of complaints about the same issue.these are safety issues where people can get killed. Out of all these safety issues there's not one investigation that has been opened in regards to the issues. The federal safety agency or gm needs to open an investigation immediately on these cars. There is a major safety issue and a recall is necessary.VIN number..(xxxxx) redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

'takata recall' while driving on the highway, my vehicle will lose power, which cause the vehicle to shut down. On the dashboard, service airbag appears as well as the ABS light and lock mode comes on. The vehicle key will not turn to off mode until a few seconds. Then once the vehicle allows the key to turn to off mode, u have to wait a few seconds then the car will start with no problem and the ABS and lock signal on dashboard goes off. This has happened several times in one trip on the highway. This is not safe at all because the steering wheel also get stiff and the traction control comes on the dashboard as well. What can I do about this? Should I take my vehicle in to the dealership? The last time this problem happened to me was march 14, 2019

Car gets service stabitrack, traction control and ABS warning on dash. Replacing wheel hubs with sensors does not fix this issue. Sometimes the car will want to apply brakes while driving or reduce engine speed. I have been through many forums with people reporting the same issue on the same car and through multiple years of manufacturing. From the research I have done in the last few days it looks like hundreds of owners have reported this issue but chevrolet is not doing anything to correct it. Not sure at this point if it is the wiring harness causing the problem or if this could be something with the computer that controls the stabitrack, ABS and traction control. If cars are loosing power and or the brakes are being applied with out driver control this can lead to dangerous driving conditions for the car owner passengers and everyone else driving on the same road. With how many people are reporting this I do not see why the car owner should need to pay thousands of dollars to diagnose and maybe fix the issue. From what I have read some people have had to pay for multiple service events and the issue still not resolved.
