2012 Chevrolet Captiva Electronic stability control Problems

“Stabilitrak service light came on yesterday. Then this morning, the parking brake service light. Anytime I applied the brake, my shifter would click loudly. Anytime I went over 20 MPH, the care would rev like it was having a lot of trouble shifting. Twice it wouldn't go right away even if I was hard or easy on the gas and I almost got hit from behind in traffic. The d symbol on dash would even flicker. This car has had so many electrical problems, I do not understand why there isn't further recalls!”

“I purchased the Captiva after my van was totaled, in feb 2017, problems started in april, car would die, everywhere, drs office, grocery store, driveways, library, restaurants, rain, snow, day or night. Could not take key out, gear froze in park, no electrical working at all, at 1st car would start after a while, then it would not, called aaa, no 1 could figure out what the problem was, I have spent $453.00 with no results, used up my free calls from aaa plus. Every mechanic had a different reason for the problem. …”

“My Captiva did not want to start. The key was locked in the ignition. All the lights were off and there was no lights on the instrument panel.

I deactivated the alarm with the remote on the key but accidently hit the lock button. I stated the vehicle and went to close the hood. But when I went to open the door the doors had locked and my vehicle was running. …”

“I have read several complaints about chevy captivas online today as I was searching for an answer for why my car died on me twice while driving home this evening. Once was on a hill turning onto the road before my home and the second time was pulling into my apartment complex. If I was on the highway or there was a car coming over the hill I could have been injured in an accident. Lately the parking break and check engine lights have been coming on and going off, also I've had times when I'd go to start my vehicle it would act as if the battery was dead. …”
