Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE LTZ RS WITH 35,162 MILES.I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 2AM DURING A SNOW STORM. 30 MPH IN WHITE OUR CONDITION. LUCKILY I WAS ON A CITY ROAD. OUT OF NOWHERE MY SERVICE STABITRACK LIGHT FLASHES AND MY SPEED REDUCED DRAMATICALLY AND MY CAR BECAME ERRATIC. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SNOW PLOW.I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I BASICALLY HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY CAR. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS AND IT SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME.I WAS SEARCHING FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER CHEVY DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT ITS CUSTOMERS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ISSUE. I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED
