Consumer Description
WE HAVE A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AT ANY SPEED AND TWO ERRORS COME UP, "SERVICE STABILITRACK" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" . ENGINE LOSES POWER AND CANNOT MAINTAIN SPEED ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN FREEWAY SPEEDS. ALSO HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS, 10 TO 25 MPH. THEREFORE IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. CAN RESET BY REMOVING BATTERY CABLE, BUT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN A DAY OR TWO. THIS ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. WENT ON LINE AND FOUND BLOGS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SUGGESTED WE TAKE OFF THE BATTERY CABLE TO RESET. WE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AS ONE BLOG SAID AND THEY ARE ALL OK. CALLED CHEVY DEALER AND THEY HAD NO RECALL AND WANTED 100 DOLLARS TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN DECIDE IF IT FELL UNDER WARRANTY. PURCHASED CAR AT 43,000 MILES, CURRENTLY AT 73,000 MILES. THE ISSUE USED TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT THINK IT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY BUT WILL NOT SAY UNTIL WE TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED. WE MIGHT ADD WE HAVE A STANDARD TRANSMISSION AS THIS MAY DIFFERENT THAN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. TRYING TO SHIFT WITHOUT ANY ENGINE POWER IS A PROCESS IN TERROR ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
