I've had my car in the warranty repair shop 6 times in the last 3 months. first occurrence i was driving down the road and my warning lights came on for esc off, service traction control, service esc at 20 mph. they've replaced 4 parts on my car and today the same lights service traction control and service esc have come on once again. it varies (speed doesn't matter) whether or not going down the highway or stopping in a driveway when it comes on but warning lights will come on when you touch the brakes. i also observed that the brake lights stay on while going down the road (when its dark outside) but when you apply the brakes the brake lights go off. i feel this could be dangerous if someone is following behind you and thinks that you have let off the brakes but you are actually slowing down. i don't think that they have an apparent fix for this issue as i see several reports from vehicles ranging from 2008 to 2012 online complaining about this same issue. i am to take my car back again for service next week to hopefully get it repaired but i am not so sure they are going to find the problem after already having it in there so many times for the same issue. it is intermittant. when you turn the car off after this occurs the lights will go off. sometimes only for a short period other times for a week to 3 weeks before it comes on again. *tr
When the cars had about 60000 miles the check engine light started coming on, gauges shut off , ac would not work gas mileage would drop after taking it to different dealer ships we had different reasons for the problem. all of the expensive and they were note sure it would help son by unhooking the battery it would sometimes clear the problem for a short time, but it would always return. now with 100,000 and about first of 2014 the engine started shutting off while driving down the road, traction control would come on by itself and lower power light would come on plus all the other problems with two your boys this can be scary. we have had the recall done with the bms cable which didn't do anything to help the problem the dealership which was in west jefferson, nc left there tools in the car and note very professional, mack browns in boone said it had no recall were rude and didn't do anything. we have changed the cam shaft sensors and when we get he money another suggestion is the throttle body sensor which is part of an assembly which is expensive but we have no choice can't trade it in like this so were stuck. this is the worst car experience i have ever had no more chevrolets for us. *tr
My vehicle is experiencing steering problems in which it is hard to steer the wheel of the vehicle while making turns and driving. also, the airbag light is on on the dashboard. the vehicle warning light also displays traction control. *tr
There are three issues that appear to be related: 1) brake lights come on when brake pedal is not being depressed, and stays on, and/or does not come on when brake pedal depressed. 2)"service traction" and "service esc" warnings come on and remain on. 3) cruise control stops working. you can have one, two or all three of these events happening at the same time. any of the three can occur first. they can occur each time the car is driven for some weeks, then not occur at all for a few days or occasionally even weeks. can occur after driving for a few minutes, sometimes after an hour or more of driving. seems to happen in all kinds of weather conditions, hot, cold, wet or dry. has been happening intermittently for over a year now, and now seems to happen more often and for longer periods of time than when first began. *tr
Error 1. warning errors on dashboard state service esc, service traction; noticed just after oct 2011 purchase. brake position sensor replaced. problem still occurs on and off to this day (april 2014). two services have not fixed this problem. error 2. cruise control would stop working on it's own while at hwy speeds; noticed dec 2011. cruise currently (april 2014) will not engage at any speed. error 3. brake lights will turn on without pedal depression at any speed and conversely when brake pedal is depressed brake lights will turn off; noticed apr 2012. problem still occurring on and off today (april 2014) . the cruise control and brake light issues are huge safety concerns and with more than 20 almost identical complaints documented and at least one crash, why is nothing being done? *tr
I purchased this vehicle new in march 2010 and began having battery problems june 2011 at about 28,000 miles. the battery would go dead randomly from 2 hours after parking to being parked for 3 days. after having the battery tested several times at 31,000 the esc light began coming on and the esc code was cleared. at about 32,000 the battery over heated and began steaming acid out of the battery. the dealer replaced the battery and replaced the yaw sensor and wiring. the esc light continues to come one which turns off the cruise control and applies the brakes. the dealer has replaced yaw sensor several times, wheel sensors, clock spring in steering wheel, abs brake system, installed a new computer and replaced wiring. they have also had gm engineers coming from out of state on several days to work on the vehicle during the 9 plus service visits for a total of over 70 days of repair. the esc light continues to come on at random. dealer advised they are unable to repair vehicle. i have tried to work with the dealer for a gm buy back, but the dealer is only offering average trade value, what does not seem to be a fair resolution to the problem. *tr
Brake lights engage when brake petal is not engaged and do not light when brake pedal is pressed. center brake light rarely works. electrical system in car seems to be short circuited as lights on console blink. esc continuously is turned off, engine light will not go off, low tire pressure indicated and it's a false read. transmission had to be replaced right after warranty expired. driver side window motor failed. all of this issues with exception of window have been happening from the time i purchased the car. i took it many times to dealer with no remedy
1) gm is covering up a defect in rims ( not completely welded, i have the rim as evidence) 2) currently my service esc, traction, air bag lights are all on ( so is my air bag gonna explode? is my car not stable enough to be driven?) 3) 2011 i paid to have my car fixed because the brake lights stayed on. ( maybe had 3000 miles) 4) my brake lights currently stay on.( aprox 70,000 miles) 5) i have contacted gm several times, have not spoke to anyone. 6) when the car behind me can not tell if i am stopping because my lights stay on and i am killed along with the person behind me... maybe someone will listen.
