Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL TRACTION CONTRO,L SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE SPEED REDUCED LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY 2011 GMC ACADIA. WOULDN'T GO NO FASTER THEN 15MPH ON A 55 MPH ROAD AND THE ENGINE GOT REALLY LOUD AND ROUGH. WAS GOING 40 WHEN THE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WHEN IT KEEPS DOING THIS. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW. SPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE A BABY IN THE VEHICAL WITH ME. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES IT TO DO THIS. SOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S A GLITCH IN THE MAIN VEHICLE COMPUTER, READ IT'S A GLITCH IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT VEHICALS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND DIAGNOSED AND FIXED IMMEDIATELY!
