Consumer Description

DRIVER HAD STOPPED AT STOP SIGN ON THE EXIT RAMP AND AS SHE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO CROSSOVER TO APPROPRIATE LANE THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND CHECK STABILITY LIGHT LIT. THIS WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS LOCATION AS THE SIDE ROAD THE DRIVER WAS LOCATED WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL, SO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A T-BONE HIT FOR THE DRIVER AND HEAD ON FOR THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. THE CAR SLOWLY (VERY, VERY SLOWLY) MOVED FORWARD ENOUGH TO FINALLY GET ACROSS STREET AND TO A SAFE PLACE. ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES OCCURRED, IT WAS BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING OVER THE HILL. THIS HAD THE POTENTIAL AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A DEADLY PROBLEM IF IT OCCURS AGAIN OR IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE. IMMEDIATELY HAD TOW TRUCK PICK UP CAR AND TAKE TO GMC DEALERSHIP. I AM AWAITING THE RESULTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY WORK REQUIRES A LOT OF TRAVEL AND NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR WITH THIS ISSUE (WHICH AFTER RESEARCH TODAY SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT IN GMC VEHICLES. ) *TR
