All I did was take it to get new rear calipers and an alignment and when I left the shop I got a light on the dashboard that says service traction control service stabilitrak and sometimes the abs goes on and off and sometimes the airbag light comes on and turns off. I can't drive over 1.5rpm and it's jumping when trying to accelerate. I'm not getting codes. I changed the brake pedal sensor to see if that works but no. Mechanic can't seem to figure out the issue without me spending more and more money on it. I've only had it roughly a year and half. I've put alot of money into this vehichle.

While driving at various speeds, the check engine light, service stabilitrack, and service traction control warning lights came on. Vehicle went into limp mode. Independent mechanic said ongoing issue with Chevy and carbon build up in the throttle body. It will keep happening due to flawed system. Dealer denied but keeps happening

The biggest problem is that mechanics don't know how to fix this problem. Traction control needs servicing with causes you to lose acceleration on the freeway. Then sometimes stabilitrac also goes off. Now the vehicle engine keeps running when turned off. The air conditioning sometimes randomly won't work at all, and last the tire servicing system now won't sync.

Vehicle started bucking and shaking when taking off from traffic light. With excessive speed 50-60MPH that followed the bucking. Tried applying both feet by standing on the brakes. Car started to slow down, only to speed back up until, the vehicle could be shut off. Lights on dash were flashing. On such a heavy traveled, congested road, someone could have been killed. My car is scheduled to be looked at by Dealer.

I took my vehicle back to the dealership I brought it from at least 3 times because of the engine surges while driving mostly on streets but once while merging onto the highway each time I was given excuses " thats the new electric accelerator " thats the 6th gear" I have owned a 2012 , 2014 now the 2015 I haven't experienced the surges or lurching in any of my previous vehicles now lurching more often I am tired of leaving my car in the dealership, renting cars on my own dime and getting excuses that don't make sense

I was driving on the interstate at 60 miles per hour. The car jarred forward , made a popping sound and lost power and the engine speed dropped. I got off the interstate the car shut down and would not go. The stability trac came on the dash as well as the check engine light. I turned the car off for about 15 seconds and the car started and I drove home. I looked this up on youtube and found out the car does not keep a memory of the code the car throws when this happen. After the car sits all night it "resets" itself and the engine light goes off. This is the third time this has happened and I was lucky it did not stall in the middle of the interstate . This is a huge safe issue I haul my child and granddaughter in this vehicle. This is a serious safety issue and chevy knows about it. Get it fixed, do a recall.
