Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Service ABS and service traction control lights came on and have remained on for several days. Further messages continue flashing on the driver information center. This has been a recurring problem over the past year after ABS wheel sensors and the associated wiring were replaced. With the numerous complaints on the internet - I was thinking that surely a TSB or recall on these issues has been overlooked or simply ignored by the mechanics and service writers at the GM dealerships nationwide. …”
NHTSA complaint #11030754, filed 2017-10, 130,000 miles“I started getting service traction control system warning message and light with service ABS system warning message and light and service stability system . All are always at the same time. Shutting off the engine and restarting (per owners manual) temporarily causes the lights and messages to turn off, but they always return later. This problem is well documented in Saturn forums and is happening with many, many owners.”
