My strabilitrak and service traction control began flashing on and caused the brake lights to turn off. Then it reads, engine power is reduced. This began in november 201. I have taken it three times to be fixed. First i was told it was the throttle body, then a switch gear, then a fuel induction cleaning service. It is still happening, just twice this week. The engine slowing down while on the freeway proves to be…

The forward sprag unit broke which ended up not only causing the vehicle to come out of drive while we were driving but also caused significant enough damage to the transmission to requite an entire rebuild. Faulty transmissions are a very common issue with this vehicle and because the company refuses to back their products and recall the issue, it ends up becoming a huge financial burden on a family. Thankfully…

They stated i would just have to wait until it did it again. Yesterday everything went haywire and my tahoe appeared possessed. Door locks, gearing shifting was affected making it difficult to drive and steer due to loss of power steering, which could…

My vehicle is experiencing excessive oil consumption due to the active fuel management(displacement on demand) feature. The vehicle consumes approximately 1quart every 1000 miles...the oil is burned through the pistons causing blue-ish colored smoke to come out of the tail pipe. The vehicle comes not a drop of oil if the active fuel management is turned off. Every single vehicle from gm that i have tested has had…

Front differential started making a very loud noise. It became even louder in 4-wheel drive. While in 4-wheel drive the vehicle didn't feel right. I brought to the dealer who stated water got into the differential, and it had to be rebuilt. This is the 3rd time i have had an issue with the front differential. All 3 times, including this one, was due to the failure of the pinion seal. The first repair on 11/06/09 was…
