Consumer Description

IN MARCH 2014, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE WARNING BELL SOUNDED, AND AN ENGINE LIGHT (WITH DOWN ARROW) ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED "STABILITRAK OFF", AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED FROM 45MPH TO 15MPH. THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS 25MPH, AND THERE WASN'T EVEN ENOUGH POWER TO CLIMB A SMALL HILL. AFTER DEPLOYING THE HAZARD INDICATOR, AND PULLING OVER, THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. UPON WAITING 2-3 MINUTES AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE PROBLEM DID NOT RECUR. SINCE THEN, THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED AT LEAST 3 DOZEN TIMES, AND IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. THIS FAULT CAN EASILY HAVE CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. *TR
