My car shuts down while driving. my dash will display "service traction control system, reduced power, starting disable" i must pull off the road; car shuts down, now it has trouble restarting after this occurs. my computer doesn't retain the codes for this issue. my dealer mechanic & personal mechanic cannot find the problem. have spent $1000 within the past 2 months on this. still not fixed. dangerous to drive this car. occurs intermittently; no pattern. i am paying for a car i cannot drive. very upsetting. please help.
The traction control system lights come on during wet weather and or turning. the anti-locks brakes fail to work unless pressed completely down. no accidents have occured at this time, but a few close calls. the car is being returned to a gm dealer to inspect and report the problem. the brakes have always had a spongy feeling since date of purchase and since the brake recall was adjusted. i would hope that this problem can be investigated before there is a fatal incident since the anti-lock brakes become very non-responsive when the traction control system fails.
