Check engine light came on. Message came across saying reducing engine power. Then said to service stabilizer. It then turned off traction control. We were driving home from vacation when this happened. After a bit driving the whole car shift off while driving 60mph on a busy highway. The message on dash said it disabled our starter. We almost did not get off the road safely we were in the left lane and could not get to the shoulder. My husband had to make the decision to pass across into oncoming because thankfully there was no one coming.

I was driving on the highway and received the following message, service stabilitrak - reduced engine power. This has come up a few times. This time though while still driving my engine power was greatly reduced with the error, "starter disabled, service throttle". This LED to a drastic decrease in speed with zero control over throttle and moved to the shoulder and the car rolled to a halt.

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).
