NHTSA Complaint #10885526 — 2008 CHEVROLET UPLANDER

THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THE STABILITY CONTROL HAS MADE DRIVING ACTUALLY DANGEROUS. THE FIRST TIME IT LOCKED UP AND WE SKID TO A HALT THANKFULLY GOING 25 MILES AN HOUR. AND IT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AT THAT TIME. THIS TIME, WE JUST HAD THE FULL HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED THE STABILITY CONTROL LOCKED UP AGAIN, NOT QUITE AS HARD BUT HARD ENOUGH, AND IT PULLED SHARPLY TO ONE SIDE. BOTH TIMES, THANKFULLY YEARS APART, WE WERE GOING STRAIGHT AND DIDN'T HIT ANYONE BECAUSE OF IT AS NO ONE WAS AROUND. THIS THING IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. AND WHY WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND I'M NOT READY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS EVEN INSTALLED. IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY WORK. WE USED TO LIVE IN NORTHERN UTAH AND WE LIVED AT THE LAST STREET UP THE MOUNTAIN. WHEN THE ROAD WAS VERY ICY WE'D HAVE TO TURN THE STABILITY CONTROL OFF IN ORDER TO GET HOME. IT ACTUALLY MADE DRIVING IN THE SNOW/ICE HARDER AND MORE DANGEROUS. WE HAVE YET TO TAKE THE UPLANDER IN TO BE FIXED YET AGAIN AS WE HAVE HAD TOO MANY REPAIRS ON VEHICLES LATELY AND JUST DON'T WANT TO SPEND MORE. SO, NO DIAGNOSIS HAS BEEN MADE AS OF TODAY.
