The engine light comes on, then "service stabiltrak light" comes on. It starts by making it difficult to accelerate at a red stop light when it changes green. When turning a corner, because there is no quick acceleration, it has caused near miss accidents. As time goes on it becomes worse. I have lost power on the expressway and have to pull over. I have brought this car in several times and GMC has not made any repairs. It is scary when a semi is rolling behind you and you can't accelerate to get out of the way. This is a safety issue. I have received no help from GMC.

Steering will not return to center under hard acceleration. Tested chevey equinox with V-6 and hydraulic steering system produced the same results. This is a severe safety problem when inexperienced driver operates vehicle as the vehicle continues in the direction of the turn. These vehicles are very quick add can cause severe damage to vehicles/pedestrians if not aware of this problem. At present dealer has not repaired/solved problem and stated it is not that severe.of a problem
