“I was driving on the highway with no ice or adverse weather conditions. While driving my 2009 Chevrolet suburban, the computer flashed the stabilitrak is disabled and the engine is powering down. I was driving 75 miles per hour in rush hour traffic and all the cars around me had to slam on their brakes and go up on to the median to avoid me. My engine seized up and the car was motionless. This is highly dangerous and I could have been killed.”
