Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE TRACTION SERVICE ESC & ESC OFF LIGHTS COME OFF/ON SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE ROUGH AT TIMES, ALSO THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FAIL TO WORK. GOT A RECALL ON THIS IN 2017 TOOK IT INTO A DEALER SHOP WHO APPLIED GEL TO CONNECTORS SAID THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM, IT CERTAINLY DID NOT.I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE SINCE IT IS THE ONLY ONE I OWN I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. SINCE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW I CAN NOT GIVE AN EXACT DATE BUT IT DOES HAPPEN DAILY..I NEED THE REPAIRS MADE BY GM NOT ME
