I have to replace one of the tire hubs on my car because the stabilizability track is messed up. Costing me over $650. The lights came on one day to get it serviced. That is the only reason i knew something was wrong.

From inception this vehicle has burned through oil and has consistent issues with running smooth. The poor fuel injection system has caused abnormal wear on engine and parts therefore it has caused me to pay out of pocket for breakdown of parts in a premature stage. Now my catalytic converter is bad, all fuel injectors, coils and everything around that system!!! I am looking at over 3k in repairs again!!!

Driving the vehicle any further will cause the instrument panel glitch, and all readings will go to zero (tach, speed, temp) while engine is still running. Further operation will create sudden jerks in the transmission until the transmission goes to…

I've done a ton of research and have seen this show up as a common issue with many gm models. I found the gm tsb 11273 that describes the exact condition we are having. Want to know the…

Service stabilitrak light come on. Service engine lights come on. Engine power is reduced. The vehicle engine died right in the middle of the street. I was able to restart it and took it in for service. They couldn't find any "actual" problem. So they reset all the codes. It has happened again. It is happening when the temperatures get below freezing. *tr
