2008 Pontiac Torrent Electronic stability control Problems

“My air bag light on passenger side is not at all working. Off when someone is sitting in the seat. Now my electrical system makes all lights on my dash to come on. Traction control, check engine light, air bag, and so on and so on. Took car to service center and they said nothing was wrong..”

“Takata recall I have read many complaints about this same issue. It first started with my car slowing down, didn't matter how hard you press the gas it will not move. Then after letting it set of a minute/cooldown, it will ride for a few miles then complete stop with the engine still running. I notice a hot smell coming from under the hood. The traction control light and stabilitrack state that it needs service. When I drive it the brakes stop the car on its own. …”

“Service stabilitrac light came on every time the car was under hard or full throttle on dry pavement.

I called back home to my dealership and was told I should be okay until I got home, that I only needed to be concerned if the roads were wet. It was on the entire trip and by the time I got home and went to the dealership, it turned off. They could not tell me why. …”

“The first night I noticed the service stabilitrak light on the dashboard. The next night my battery completely died and I had to buy another one. Then, the dashboard said service stabilitrak sometimes and sometimes the brake light came on or it said service traction control. From what I'm gathering online this is a common problem that will eventually lead to my reduced engine power light coming on and my speed will be limited to something like 10-20 MPH and I'm afraid because I already work overnight and away from home. …”
