ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER COMES ON AT RATES OF SOMETIMES 3-4 TIMES PER DAY. NO COMMON DENOMINATOR I.E. WEATHER, ROAD CONDITIONS, TIME OF YEAR..CAN BE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH OR SITTING IDLE IN PARK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING LOVED ONES AROUND. UNFORTUNATELY I'VE GONE AS FAR AS HAVING A DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER HOOKED UP AT ALL TIMES SO I CAN CLEAR THE COMPUTER EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS IN ORDER TO DRIVE AGAIN. I'VE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, CHANGED. COMPUTER CHANGED AND RESET TWICE...NOTHING HAS HELPED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASH OF THIS AND OTHER AFFILIATED MODELS ARE PRONE TO CRACKING DUE TO A RIGID, BRITTLE MATERIAL AND A DESIGN THAT WAS NOT FORTIFIED OR SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH TO RESIST THE FORCES OF VIBRATION THAT ARE COMMON IN SUCH VEHICLES. THE DASH OF MY VEHICLE CRACKED AT THE APEX OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BINNACLE, THE DEFOGGER VENTS AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SURROUNDING THE COVER OF THE PASENGER SIDE AIRBAG. TO REPLACE THE UNIT WOULD BE $1200+ AND IT WOULD BE WITH A PIECE OF THE SAME DESIGN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT IS LOUD AND UNSIGHTLY
