Consumer Description

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND LUCKILY NOT WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. I AM GETTING A TRACTION CONTROL LOSS WITH REDUCED POWER LIGHT ON THAT ACTUALLY POWERS DOWN THE ENGINE. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CLEAR THE LIGHT AND IT WORKS O.K. BUT THAT IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED HUNDREDS OF TIMES ON FORUMS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND WHY HAS GM DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS? SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OR SERIOUSLY BECOME INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECT, I HOPE TO GOD IT IS NOT ME!!! THIS IS REALLY A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE AND SPEED AND THE ENGINE DECIDES TO POWER DOWN. I WANT THIS ADDRESSED ASAP BEFORE WE ARE READING AND HEARING ABOUT ANOTHER FATALITY AT THE HANDS OF GM!!!! *TR
