Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING A HIGHWAY SPEED,MY 2008 BUICK LUCERNE SHOWED A SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT.THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF TRACTION AND I HAD TO SLOWLY BRING THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL MANUALLY. THIS CONDITION LASTED A FEW SECONDS AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEED UP TO THE PRESENT DATE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER(KARP BUICK). THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.THE CONDITION STILL EXISTS. IT ALSO SOMETIMES SHOWS A STABILITRAK NOT READY LIGHT AND CAUSES THE SAME LOSS OF CONTROL.I UNDERSTAND THE BUICK LACROSSE,THE GMC ACADIA AND THE GMC SIERRA HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *JS
