“Traveling down the highway at 75 MPH. All of the sudden the stabilitrak system light went on followed by the truck shuddering and shaking fairly violently followed by the reduced engine power light going on and a very quick reduction in speed to approximately 35-40 MPH. Was able to pull over and tried to figure out what had just happened to a perfectly good running car. Attempted to reset the stabilitrak system using the GM manual page 5-6. No luck. Limped back onto the highway with a shaking truck with hazards on and made it to an exit . …”
