Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN PRETTY HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE TRAFFIC STARTED TO DISPERSE AND AS I ACCELERATED, THE NOTIFICATION CHIME CAME ON AND THE DASH MESSAGE SAID "STABILITRACK OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". I COULD NOT DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN ABOUT 20MPH AND IT WAS JERKING A BIT. I PULLED OVER AND PUSHED THE ONSTAR BUTTON. THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK AND AFTER SITTING ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN, THE MESSAGE WAS GONE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER ANYWAY, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A SENSOR PROBLEM, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A 2007 TAHOE AND SHE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, ACCORDING TO A FEW MESSAGE BOARDS, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ALSO. *KB
