| 2007 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE ACTUAL FIRST THAT THE COMPANY HAS DOCUMENTED IS 2/2010, 3/2011, AND CURRENTLY 2/2012. FIRST THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON THEN SHORTLY AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN YOU LOOSE POWER TO THE VEHICLE AND CANNOT ACCELERATE AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DIRECT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ON TWO OCCASIONS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS I GOOGLED THE INFO ON THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT ASKING GM FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING I AM ONLY ASKING THEM TO FIND OUT WHY THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR SOMEWHERE TO HAVE THIS OCCUR EVERY YEAR AROUND THE SAME TIME. I AM CURRENTLY UNDER THE POWETRAIN WARRANTY BUT THAT WILL EXPIRE IN MAY OF THIS YEAR AND THIS COST ANYWHERE FROM $600-$800. THIS PROBLEM CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY SEEM TO FAIL TO SEE THE DANGERS IN IT. YOU LOOSE ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE!!!! WHAT IS NOT DANGEROUS ABOUT THAT. YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A WARNING BECAUSE ONCE THAT LIGHT COMES ON THAT'S IT...WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO HOME BUT BOTH TIMES I WAS APPROX. 200 MILES FROM HOME. I ONLY ASK THEM TO EITHER FIX THE ISSUE OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE!!!!! *TR |
