While driving down highway at 55 mph suddenly hear a beep and see a warning that traction control is off, then service stabilitrak warning kept flashing and car in skid image is on constantly. Also after these warnings started flashing the speed control could not be set. Luckily I did't lose power this time as so many others have reported. After arriving home and restarting the car later all the warning lights were off. For several weeks now when resuming speed after stopping the car lunges while getting back up to speed. This could have been very dangerous had I lost or had reduced power like has happened to so many. GM really needs to issue a recall and fix this problem before someone is killed.

I purchased this vehicle in January 2017 with one owner having had it. Here it is now 2 years later and I have numerous problems with my vehicle. Some other owners have had but it still isn't part of a recall. The past year I have already spent over $1000 to fix it. Items already replaced include several sensors, wheel bearing, power steerig pump and a battery. What still needs replacing: Rack and pinyon, shocks and struts, and I have an electrical problem. Currently, my windows go down but won't go up because there is an intermittent electrical problem and my radio cuts in and out. I am still paying for the car and no one is helping. Other users have reported some of the same thing. If I go to my mechanic he tells me there are thousands of service announcements. But when I look at my make and model there is only 4 recalls and if I go by VIN specifically there is none. This is ridiculous ! someone should help. With a car that isn't 'that old' I shouldn't be having this many issues. I have 154,039 miles on it. It isn't safe. My window is stuck right now I'm the down position. I can move it down more but not up. I have 3 kids. My car seems to not work more than it does. Nothing like screwing over the little guy...Chevy number one on safety ya right

Approximately 2 weeks ago after hitting a very small pot hole I noticed a loud noise when I would turn the steering wheel to the right only 3 days after that it's still to right and never to the left but does make some noise straight. Called our dealer for an appointment but it's going to be a while 5-15 and they checked and no recalls are on our car but I've read numerous safety issues about these vehicles. Last week while it was raining I noticed my car felt like it was sliding or skating once again called dealer was told still can't help any sooner. Now today while windy and raining it was awful literally a fight to keep it in the road it was swaying and most definitely did not feel safe. Myself and my husband have 3 sons and he works for the state of ky forestry dept. Fighting wildfires and works a lot and is sometimes out of state for 21-40 days straight so he's not here much to check things out. Our boys are all into sports and other after school programs year round with lots of traveling involved. My concern is from all the suspension issues I've read that there was a recall on my car but says 0 which doesn't seem right. I wanna be sure that my family will be safe when in this vehicle and as if right now it sure doesn't feel like it. Please help me find more info because hitting a pot hole (very small bump zero damage) shouldn't cause all these problems requiring my family to have to spend a ton of money to fix. This isn't good business and I would hope Chevrolet would care if the safety of a whole family would be in jeporady over something that shouldn't be wrong with my vehicle that by the way only has 79000 miles on it. Hope someone gets in contact with me thanks have a great day.

Two things #1-traveling on interstate 95. Right rear tire blow. The inside of the tire rip all around. I have a picture of the tire in two pieces.if you are interested in seeing the picture email me and I will send it to you. #2-also ever since I bought the vehicle in September 2010 the brakes squeaks. Its been looked at multiple time by two dealers. To this day the brakes still squeak. Very annoying. The warranty is out now but the problem still exist. Look at the history of the brake issue.
