Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DIC AND I LOST ENGINE POWER. ONE OF THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55 AND THE ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED A VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO ME. THE MESSAGE GOES AWAY AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I TRIED TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND WAS TOLD THEY CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOW I DONT EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO HAVE THEM FIX IT. HOW CAN A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS NOT BE FIXED BY GM!!
