Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY REBOOT THE RADIO AND THE WARNING STABILITRAK LIGHT AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING WILL SHOW UP ON THE DASH. THE CAR WOULD EXPERIENCE VERY STIFF STEERING AND I ALMOST GOT INTO A CRASH 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTONATION CHEVROLET LAUREL, MD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. ANOTHER TECHNICIAN FROM TNT AUTO IN COLUMBIA, MD SAID THAT ALL THE WIRES SEEM TO BE ON THERE TIGHT TOO. *TR
