| 2010 | ENGINE | EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO I GET THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED/ SERVICE STABILTRACK/ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER. AFTER AN HOUR OR SO OF SITTING WITH THE CAR OFF, IT RESETS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL THAT EVENTUALLY ALSO RESETS. TODAY I WAS DRIVING THE SAME TROUBLE CODES CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER I HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THE POWER STEERING WAS DISENGAGED IT ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY THIS TIME. LUCKILY I PULLED INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND THE CAR RESET AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THIS WARNING LIGHT AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE BUT I NEVER LOST COMPLETE POWER TO THE ENGINE AND STEERING LIGHT UNTIL TODAY. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ISSUE THAT IS ONGOING WITH MANY GM OWNERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY! *TR |
