“The vehicle surges when foot is on the brake & it is becoming a struggle to keep in brake mode. Feels as if car is going to take off. Also, when defrost is on, it will turn itself off with warning flashing 'A/C off due to high engine temp' air conditioning is not even on...the heat is. This is an ongoing issue that GM cannot seem to find what the problem is.”
