“When trying to start put SUV the key gwys stuck and won't turn after this started happening our stability control sensor started going off. It used to turn off one u shut off the sub but not it's always on. And the key won't turn unless u wiggle it.”
NHTSA complaint #11143550, filed 2018-10, 112,000 miles“When driving the vehicle, this mostly occurs on surface streets, the stabilitrak lights will come on and then shut off. The problem has progressed and the lights will now come on and then black out the dashboard. The car has even completely lost power while driving and then come back on. This is quite terrifying! The battery has been replaced and is brand new. The only time the car lost power on the highway was when the car was moving at a slower rate of between 30-50 MPH.”
