“Traction control warning light indicate stabilitrac needs service and is not on. Obd code reads bad steering sensor. According to other GM owners online this is a constant problem with these vehicles. Many show the repair instructions on line. The warning light has been off and on for some time when car is cool its off when it sets in the sun it goes on. I have contacted the topeka ks GM dealer twice this week to get the cost to replace this sensor and am told they will call me back but no one has.”

“Monday 5th 2022, (2pm)I was driving with the AC on high as I had just left the mall. The interior was hot. As I left the mall and came to a stop light...the car would rev at stop, and continue to do so until the light changed. I had the oil and transmission fluid changed at 135000. It is currently at 138000. I turned off the AC because it did not seem to work (to cool the car down) and rolled the windows down and open the sun roof. Tuesday 6th, I was leaving the store (4pm) and again I turned the AC on and approached a stop light. …”
