Description of the problem | On 10/23/18, about 1-2 miles after exiting highway, i was driving when my traction control on appeared on my dashboard with engine light on, my vehicle started to shake like it was about to die and i could not accelerate any more. I went from 40mph to 10-15mph. I was turning left at a light and had to pull in to a parking lot and vehicle started shaking so much. It was difficult to maneuver the turns. Then the shaking just stopped. Turned my vehicle off and back on, traction control and engine light disappeared like nothing had happened. I drove but would not accelerate past 20 mph. Turned vehicle off for a while and everything was back to normal. On 10/30/18, vehicle was in motion again, traveling 40 mph, then traction control came back on with engine light, i slowed down to 20 mph again and was able to pull over before engine started to shake and or turn. Turned off the engine again,powered back on and it drove like normal again. This has happened twice to me with my children in my vehicle. Incident happened when pavement was dry, no debris on road , this is an safety issue, and i am grateful it did not occur on the highway while i was traveling 60 mph in morning traffic. Contacted gm where after explaining my issue to sue and she even stated it was a safety issue. Dealership stated that they could run diagnostics but if neither traction control on or engine light was on, may not read as to what the problem is and they could not get me in until 11/2/18. |
