While driving vehicle warning light service stabilitrak....reduced engine power comes on. Vehicle then slows and can not drive over 20 to 30 mph. This has occurred randomly at highway speeds while driving on interstate in traffic. Sudden reduction caused traffic to have to slow quickly and almost caused a collision.

while waiting to make a left turn when traffic cleared I pressed the gas pedal and heard a loud grinding noise and the car would not move for 2 or 3 seconds and suddenly moved. Very dangerous. Car forums have many of the same incidents with great difficulty in resolving this problem and after several years no answers. This is life threatening issue.

Able to shift gear positions but the indicated shift position does not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. When I stop and park the vehicle, I am able to shift the lever to the "park" position, but the vehicle is not actually in park position. I currently have the emergency break on. Vehicle will not stay in park when gear is in park position. The lightest touch will knock gear shift into reverse and car rolls away.

Service stabilitrack warning indicator lights flash and beep while all guages go to zero and back while door locks are also engaging open and closed at all speeds. Has been almost on daily basis for the last few months. Before 6 months ago would only happen occasionally.vehicle will lose acceleration for a few seconds. . This will happen several times while driving consecutive almost 10-20 times in a row. Traction control and ABS, brake assist will also have warning lights go off. Have had my car in 2 diffrent shops and spent almost $2000 and still no fix. . Chevy needs to do a better job explaining what service stabilitrack consist of. Mechanics have no clear idea what to fix. Is there a recall on this system. Any help would be much appreciated. Chevy has no answers.

The air control knob makes a ticking sound. It does when you open the car door opens, if the wind shifts, or when you are adjusting the temperature in the carr

Was driving home on the interstate within normal speed limit. All of a sudden hit something ran over something and the car begin to lose oil and shut off. When towed to repair shop was told the engine had a defect in it bc it threw a rod and ruined the engine. The repair shop confirmed I was not at any fault bc there was plenty of oil and all needed maintenance was update. The repair shop can't figure out why the engine would throw a rod and deemed it a defect in the engine. The car was bought with 30k miles and now its 130k. Never had any problems until this and statefarm insurance says it does not cover this situation. Will be seeking if the manufacturer will replace it, bc it happened not at any fault of mine. If anyone else have experienced this please make it known for other ppl and state how you solved it. Thks
