    Electronic Stability Control

    Stabilitrak and traction control system have went off several times in the course of the last month. The car goes to rough idle and transmission kicking back really bad. Every time the mechanic ha checked, at least three, he had found nothing wrong. I think this something related with software. Looking into internet, seems to be thousands of people affected with this problem.

    My traction stability light came on. Took it to the dealership where they charged me $100.00 to diagnose it and tape a sensor. A week later it came on again, i looked this issue up on the internet and everybody is having these problems. Why is this not a safety recall? I have less than 46,000 miles on my vehicle, i should not be having this issue. Gm better do something about this.

    My traction control light and abs light came on and the messages to service both of these systems are in my information center. My brakes are now dragging the rotors due to this problem. This is a major safety concern and a recall needs to be implemented to correct this issue. This started while driving down the highway.

    The truck i purchased has a max towing package that is supposed to safely tow 10,600# in crew cab configuration. I have a 28' pace daytona trailer that weighs under 8,000# as i tow it. At approximately 50 mph, the truck has a very severe sway issue. It is frightening to drive as the trailer starts shifting the rear of the truck back and forth. I have not had an accident with the truck as yet, but i feel the…
