While driving my car the stabili-track service light comes on. Then the check engine, brake, ABS, awd, as well as the power steering lights come on. Then I lose power steering and my speed is throttled down a lot. Its happened on the expressway and city streets. When on the expressway I have to immediately get to the shoulder without getting into an accident. I've had my car towed to the mechanics shop multiple times and they've told me that there are no codes when hooking up the computer. They kept it a few times in the last 3 years and have told me there were misfires after letting the car sit and testing it out (test driving) and work was needed (throttle body replacement, spark plug replacement, cam shaft swap out and a full tune-up). $1000 and less than a year later it happens again and then again. This is the 3rd year (2016, 2017, 2018) it has happened to me in a row and all the mechanic can say is that it may be something gm should investigate. I've called gm with no luck. This is extremely unsafe and I am thankful that my kids were not in the car when it happens. Trying to navigate traffic on the expressway when your car throttles down to 25-35 MPH is insane.

While driving the stability track service lift comes on, the ABS, brakes, service all wheel drive, as well as the service power steering at which time I lose power steering. It also feels like it is accelerating sluggishly when drive sometimes. This happens and goes off sometimes with out me turning the car off or stopping but other times I have to pull over and wait a few minutes after turning the car off. It happens various times. At one moment it is driving fine and then these lights come on. When taken to dealership the lights have gone off and they get no codes. I was told the that it says a miscommunication and no code is recorded. The service light issues happen on city streets. The sluggish acceleration happens on both city and highway. I have been to the gmc dealer several times over the last 2-3 weeks.

Service stabilitrax. And light and transaction control. Sometimes followed by check engine light. Stabilitrax goes out, sometimes reducing speed and putting car into safe mode. I was driving on an interstate when the service stabilitrax, ABS and traction control lights came on. Weather conditions were wintery mix. When turning off highway, there was no traction control to kick in.

While driving traction control, awd, and ABS system shuts off prompting to service stabilitrak. Upon taking the vehicle to dealer nothing is found. But im forced to drive without key safety features. My stopping time is drastically increased making it harder to feel safe knowing I have to drive in various weather conditions with out ABS. Even normal city driving has been nerve wrecking. I purchased this vehicle 8 days ago and have been back to the dealer 4 times for the same issue.

My 2010 gmc terrain awd we had since july of 2010 work wonderful at first. Now, may 25, 2011 our terrain has several lights coming on. Abs, stability services, awd is turn off,and traction control is not working lights. Onstar can not see these problems in its system. Have an appointment for it in june 1, 2011 at our local dealer. But I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone.
