This vehicle will all of a sudden start swaying from side to side and the stabilitrak light will come on. In addition, the transmission will suddenly seize up, losing acceleration and nearly causing a crash. The engine will also state that it is overheating, all of a sudden and the vehicle will shut itself off and smoke will start coming from the engine. This has happened while going between 35 and 65 MPH. On the streets and highways. My children in the bucket seats in the back were sleep and their heads hit the window. They sustained injury. That was on a regular street and the speed limit was 35 MPH. I was within or slightly under the speed limit when the vehicle started swaying unexpectedly. When the road is wet, it will sway from side to side on simple curves in the road. I have had the transmission replaced twice. Due to the safety concerns and fear of my family being fatally injured, it was around christmas time. I have had to park the vehicle. I have contacted gmc by phone several times with no response in return. I spoke with someone and was informed to report it to the federal safety agency. Maybe something can be done about this before a death occurs.
