“I was driving about 65mph down I-35 in austin, texas and suddenly my car dropped to about 40mpg and the stabilitrak off message appeared. A definite safety hazard because someone could have, and almost did, rear-end me. I had to get off the freeway and turn my car off for about 10 minutes. Restarted and made it home ok. Today, august 28, the same thing happened again.. It happens without any warning. There should be a safety recall on this. I'm surprised that there has not been a major incident when this happens.”
NHTSA complaint #10629044, filed 2014-08, 117,000 miles“For more than a month my truck has cut off completely as I begin to break when I I am coming to a stop or when I am making a turn into a parking lot or at a corner. Sometimes it happens several times in a row during one trip. It always happens when I am in motion but once I turn on the hazard lights, put the car in park, turn off the ignition and restart it, it cranks right back up. I was told, based on my description that it could be a manufacturers defect in the turndown solenoid switch or sensor associated with the automatic transmission. This is a safety issue but I need my vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10859938, filed 2016-04, 165,000 miles“On 12/23/13, while parked the vehicle died. When restarting, it was a little slow but did end up starting. On 12/24/13, I had the battery tested and it showed that the cca's just needed a good charge so I let the vehicle run for 45 minutes. A few hours later, the vehicle would not even turn over. On 12/25/13, removed the battery and reinstalled it. The vehicle started fine and ran well for a few days. On 1/1/14, vehicle stalled while driving. Ended up restarting but I had to give it gas to do so. On 1/2/14, I started the car to warm it up and it started fine. …”
NHTSA complaint #10558270, filed 2014-01, 122,000 miles“Noticed a no traction in my cluster one month before the accident. When I turned the SUV off the light would go away. I had a code check on it and had codes for my ABS. Sensors where checked and tested. No fault in the sensors. The day of the accident as I was passing the person and switching lanes there was a red light ahead I applied my breaks and the no traction came on as I hit a small patch of ice. Traction did not kick on or ABS leading me out to m-24 from a neighborhood road getting hit on the driver side fender by a chevy tracker. After much research and talking with ase tech's. …”
