All Traction Control System Complaints
FOR THE LAST YEAR, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS STAYED ON AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT. SHIFTING IS DIFFICULT AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL EFFECT THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY BE DESTROYED. THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBSITES WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE GM HAS NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM THAT CHEVY/GM DOESN'T CARE TO WORRY ABOUT. MY CARS STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN I AM DRIVING. SOMETIMES TO THE POINT OF THE CAR TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE IN ADDITION TO THIS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS IN TO THE DEALER EVERY TWO MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD A COMBINATION OF WHAT THE DEALERS MECHANICS FEEL THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE HAD STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED, CAM SHAFT SOLENOIDS, BUSHINGS, ROTORS. THE LIST GOES ON. NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE. TODAY BRINGING BACK TO THE DEALER I AM NOW TOLD THAT I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AS BOTH CONTROL ARMS IN THE FRONT ARE SECONDS FROM BREAKING ALONG WITH THE LINKS THAT KEEP THE CAR STABLE.. THE MECHANIC SHARED THAT HAD I HIT A POTHOLE I WOULD HAVE DIED AS THE CAR WOULD HAVE SPUN OUT...
TURNED ON THE IGNITION AND THE DASHBOARD GAUGES ALL WENT OUT. PULLED THE FUSE AND REINSERTED IT - PROBLEM CORRECTED. T/C INDICATOR ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS UPSHIFTING HARD. AGAIN, I REMOVED AND REINSTALLED THE FUSES AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. POWER STEERING WARNING WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH AND THE POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED. I REMOVED AND REINSTALLED THE FUSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWER STEERING AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I DID NOTICE THAT MOST OF THE FUSES WERE MILDLY OXIDIZED ON ONE LEG OF EACH FUSE. *TR
