Upon starting the vehicle, the car is clicking, the stabilitrak and traction control lights come on, ABS light comes on, lights flicker and the car stalls. When driving the power steering goes out or locks up making it difficult to steer. It had been continuing until the car has been on for 20 or so minutes but now it's going on for longer. It's very scary and dangerous to drive around.

I cut my car on this morning and the service traction control, service stabilitrac, and ABS lights were on. They stayed on throughout my drive to take my son to and from school. I just got this vehicle last night and the dealer said everything checked out fine as car was placed "gm on a roll inspection". It was checked 2 days in a row and I have the paperwork showing as nothing wrong. I check on it today online and it seems to be a common issue with this vehicle.

My vehicle's brakes began to lock as I was driving down the interstate at 70 MPH. This happened when I tapped the brakes to turn off the cruise control. It happened again on the interstate 2 days later in stop-and-go traffic - brakes lock while the vehicle is moving. Let off the gas and it stops itself with very bad shaking. This is a very serious problem. It has happened every day since under stop-and-start conditions and it gets worse and worse until the brakes are completely locked. Vehicle will not move once brakes lock unless it is turned off for approximately 30 minutes. "service traction control" light comes on after this happens. Abs sensor has been replaced for $700 to no avail. In addition, I see a recall for the gas tank. I also had that problem about a year ago - gas was leaking from my tank, but since I live in louisiana the recall does not apply to my vehicle. That was a $1000 repair, but that's better than it catching on fire, I suppose.

For approx.2 year I have been having numerous problems with the stabiltrak, ABS, and check engine lights coming on. I have had it to the dealer multiple times with no resolution. I recently got it back again 2 weeks ago following repair. I now have an issue with the vehicle skipping out and jerking the car like it wants to quit when getting to a speed of 35 to 40 MPH. It is again in the shop for repair. I was told that the problem 2 weeks ago was a spark plug and wire, and had to pay to get it fixed, and it is still not repaired. I have been taking this vehicle in for repair for 2 years while it was still under warranty and now it is in the extended warranty which there is a deductible each time. This should have been resolved a long time ago and it is still not repaired. There is only 36500 miles on this car and should not be having such severe issues. Why has this not been recalled? It appears many customers are having the same issues for some time now.

Turning corner (right hand turn) in 3-4 inches of loose snow and the ABS light, traction control light and stabilitrac sensor all came on. Warning message of service stabilitrac soon displayed on control panel. After parking the car overnight, all warnings except ABS were off and ABS warning light went off after approximately 2 minutes. This has happened at least once a year for all three years I have owned the vehicle. It was repaired at the dealership where I purchased it twice and I was told there was nothing wrong once since the lights went off before I was able to get it to the dealer. Also intermittently seems to have a power drain for no reason and with no warning lights appearing on the dash display.

During heavy rain while driving on the highway, the ABS system engaged without any use of the brakes causing the car to pull from side to side as the ABS system applied alternating brakes. This repeated at least 4 times during a 1.5 to 2 hour highway drive. Once off the highway at a lower speed the problem did not happen again. I brought the car into the dealer for service. They could not identify and did not try to recreate the problem. I have avoided highway driving in heavy rain and have not had the problem again. When taking the car in to the dealer for an oil change the other day, they insisted on installing a black box with red button. The system is masking taped to the dash of my car and the button is in my cup holder. I have been instruct to press the red button if the problem happens again. However, if it does happen I must keep both hands on the wheel.
