Engine shuts off in the middle of driving and says starting disabled due to electric throttle control, reduced engine power, ABS traction control off. This happens while moving at the correct speed on the highway, stopped at a stop light in the city, and while making turns. Sometimes when it happens I lose power steering and have almost o control of where my car goes. At first this only happened about once a week, but now it can happen up to 10+ times a day

I've had to replace the transmission at 67k miles, and it went out on me again at 110k miles. I replaced the transmission at not only a gm certified dealership, but a pontaic dealership (john hine pontaic) in san diego. The transmission was a gm certified refurbish from canada. No recalls from gm, and no reimbursement policy. This is an issue.

Steering: clicking noise when turning transmission has a light slip into 1st and sometimes hard shift into 2nd had this looked at in 2013 while it was still under warranty and the dealer didn't want to acknowledge there was a problem. This should be under recall since more people have this same problem.

This is an issue it felt like someone hit us from behind and yet no one was there. Started driving and the next thing we know the car speedometer just slows down to 30 MPH. Luckily was able to get out of high speed lane before an 18 wheeler smashing into the rearend and would have killed my two kids!! This is bull crap pontiac gm will not do anything about it!! This happened with a gm envoy that I purchased. I should have known better to purchase another gm product. There are way too many complaints regarding the transmission and steering for gm not to do anything about this this issue, the worst is they know about and will not do anything about it. Some people do not have that kind of money to just crap out and continue to crap out for a known issue!

Just that my car was jerking down the highway.....come to find out bad transmission in these cars. I haven't had it fixed because I don't have the money. So I will keep driving it until it just goes out or hopefully someone steals it. Piece of junk car and gm knows it. I talked to them and they said out of warranty. I knew they would say this but I wanted to tell them I will never buy gm again. I also have to see a chiropractor now maybe because of all the jerking.

On more than one occasion, my car hesitated after stopping at an red light. Upon take off while other cars are behind me if feels like my car gears are stuck . I initially thought perhaps it was the weather or maybe my brakes . No, not the problem because my brakes have been checked and the weather is not always a culprit, I even have new tires . The problem is very scary when your grandchildren are buckle up in the back seat and your car hesitate, transmission slipping not changing gears. This has happened far to many times for my comfort and safety of myself and my family. Additionally, there also been times when the fan stop during this time. Both in the summer with the air blowing and just today (11/12/14), with the heat blowing everything stopped intermittently, what is going on with this car! The problem has only gotten increasingly worst.
