“While I was driving my car in traffic, the green car indicator light came on and slowed down my speed to a complete stop. I pulled over and allowed cars to go around me as I tried to restart the vehicle, 3 times, and it would not start. I called onstar to see if they could do a car check and told me nothing was wrong. After an hour of being stuck on the side of the road with a car that would not start, onstar got me a tow truck and towed me to the dealer ship. …”
NHTSA complaint #10588808, filed 2014-05, 4,010 miles“Car only has 52,000 miles on it and the ABS, brake and traction lights have repeatedly come on. The issues has caused the lost of cruise control and high rise of my ABS system not working due to a wheel speed sensor failing. The car shouldn't have this issue when this little of mileage on it. The car started this all of sudden as I was driving one day when I was driving it on the street and once the car is in gear on any street surface. The risk of losing my ABS has caused my not to want to drive it. I am not the only person with this issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11098880, filed 2018-05, 52,000 miles“8/28/18 - vehicle unexpectedly had jerking/shaking at around 40mph with various service messages - stabilitrak, traction on, traction off, and all wheel drive. Traction skid light illuminated. Once above 40 MPH, no more jerking. Speedometer was flying up and down intermittently as well. Once parked and shut off for an hour, I started vehicle and no issues. Drove it to repair shop and they were unable to replicate the issue. It definitely felt like the vehicle wanted to stall. Now I'm nervous to drive it because I'm sure it will happen again unexpectedly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11123433, filed 2018-08, 76,800 miles“Throttle body replacement: check engine light comes on while driving the vehicle, then a message displaying engine power reduced, service stabilitrak. Then vehicle immediately slows down and cannot travel above 30 miles per hour. Took it in to the local Gmc dealer service department, who pulled the code indicating it was a throttle body issue. Charged us $120 to clean the throttle body, only to have the problem resurface hours later. Now waiting for replacement throttle body part to arrive, which they insist will solve the problem for roughly $350 parts and labor. …”
