CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. I QUICKLY VEERED OFF INTO MEDIAN AND TURNED FLASHERS ON. THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME. CAR WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES IT STARTED WITH ONLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACT AS QUICKLY AS I DID. OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUES BASED ON THE INVESTIGATIONS ON HERE. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED ON MANY GM FORUM POSTS WITH MANY REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES.
