ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
LAST WEEK WHEN MY CAR WAS PARKED, IT DIED. WHEN I GOT BACK IN, I REALIZED IT HAD DIED, AND TRIED TO START IT. WHEN I STARTED IT, ALL OF THESE ERRORS STARTED POPPING UP: "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", "TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF", "SERVICE STABILITRAK". THE POWER WAS DEFINITELY REDUCED, AND I COULD BARELY CREEP ALONG. THE CAR EVEN SHOOK LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO DIE. THEN WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STOP THE ABS BREAKS CAME ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I PARKED AND TURNED IT OFF THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AFTER A MINUTE. IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL EXCEPT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO FIX AND SAID TO CALL AGAIN IF ANYTHING HAPPENED AGAIN (THEY DID CHARGE THE BATTERY). I WENT AND PICKED IT UP AND DROVE IT 10 MILES. I PARKED AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT TO START IT ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER, THIS TIME THERE WAS AN ERROR ABOUT THE GUIDELINES ON THE CAMERA SYSTEM NOT WORKING AND THE SAME STABILITRAK ERROR. SO I SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP. IT SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONAL AFTER RESTARTING IT. IT WAS OKAY FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL THE MAJOR ERRORS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS MORNING. I WAS TRYING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT AND IT DID THE SAME THING WITH THE SAME ERRORS THAT I FIRST HAD. IT ACTUALLY WENT TO A TOTAL STOP AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. I WAS THANKFUL THAT I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. IT WAS SO SUDDEN, THAT IF WE HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ERRORS. SO I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE ERRORS WERE GONE BUT THE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. IT SEEMED FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. THERE ARE TONS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS REPORTED ONLINE. THE DEALERSHIP IS SUPPOSED TO CHECK IT AGAIN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
ON MORE THAT ONE OCCASION BUT MOST RECENTLY ON 03/16/2018 I HAVE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND I GET THE FIRST MESSAGE OF, "SERVICE STABILITRACT". THE NEXT MESSAGE IS, "TRACTION CONTROL OFF". IT IS THEN FOLLOWING BY, "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE VEHICLE THEN DECELERATES TO 10-20 MPH. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME TWICE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELLING IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.(NOT WHILE ACCELERATING). THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM 0 MPH, 30+ MPH, 60+ PMH AND DECELERATING FROM 60+MPH, 30+MPH AND FROM 0 TO 30 MPH. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE TURNING A CORNER, DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AFTER AN INCIDENT WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO STOP AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT AFTER REDUCED ENGINE POWER OCCURS. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS RUNNING ON THREE OF THE SIX CYLINDERS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I ALMOST HIT A SCHOOL BUS ONCE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR IT'S SECOND WEEK OF DIAGNOSTICS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING THE REDUCE ENGINE SPEED, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILI-TRAC, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES. THE ENGINE SPEED WAS REDUCED TO A CRAWL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW AND THE SPEED DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE 30MPH - 65MPH. WHILE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND GET IT TO DRIVE HOME AFTER 5 MINS, IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR COMES ON AND THEN IMMEDIATELY REDUCES POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. YOU COULD BE DRIVING NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 70 MPH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE GOES INTO THIS TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRAK MODE AND BASICALLY SHUTS THE CAR DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TO ME AND WILL ONLY CLEAR THIS MODE IF THE VEHICLE IS TURN OFF AND SITS FOR A WHILE AND THEN RESTARTED.

BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WITH STABILITAK AND SENSORS. MY CAR STARTS SHAKING ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED TO 10-15 MPH. TAKEN IT TO DEALESHIP 6 DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THAT THEY CAN FIGURE OUT. ALMOST GOT HIT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR ABRUPTLY WENT DOWN TO 15MPH WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SIDE TO AVOID IMPACT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M DRIVING OR SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN EXIT RAMP ON A HIGHWAY, SUDDENLY A WARNING LIGHT CHIMED AND THE SERVICE STABIL-TRAK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGES COME UP. THE CAR STARTS TO REDUCE SPEED UNTIL IT GETS TO 10-15 MPH. IT ALSO STARTS RUNNING AND IDLING REALLY ROUGH. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP ALONG TO A PARKING LOT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE ANYWHERE. IT HAS TO BE TOWED. THEN SOMEHOW WHEN IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE, IT SUDDENL RUNS FINE AND THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED. JUST GOT IT BACK FROM THE DEALER AFTER HAVING FOR A WEEK. THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 36,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
TODAY 1/08/2018 AROUND 08:30 I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY 287 WHEN THE CAR STARTED CHECKING, REDUCING POWER UP TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I LOOK UP, THE STABILITYTRAK/ SERVICE TRACCION CONTROL OFF WAS SHOWING IN THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED TO TURN ON THE CAR, BUT IT WON'T UNTIL UP TO 1 HOUR BY CHANCE WHEN IT STARTED AGAIN WITH ENGINE REDUCED POWER. THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN THERE EVEN THOUGH I WENT TO THE MECHANIC TWICE, WHERE THEY CLEANED THE THROTLE BODY WHICH APPARENTLY FIXED THE ISSUE BEFORE.
