NTSB: 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE: CONSUMER STATED THE CAR GOES FROM NORMAL DRIVING SPEED, AND IT WILL IMMEDIATELY DROP TO 2-5 MPH WITH A MESSAGE STATING "LOW ENGINE MODE, SERICE STABILITRACK" SEE 10839439 *SS

UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE BOTH THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION LIGHTS WERE ON, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. LIGHTS REMAINED ON, FIRST REPAIR PLACE SAID STABILITRAK SENSOR, SECOND SAID IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING. BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCES IN OPINION I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER WHO THEN TOLD ME THE WIRES HAD GONE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $300. I CONTINUE TO HAVE ELECTRONIC ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AFTER REPLACING THE BCM TWICE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR
