Pontiac Torrent Electronic Stability Control Safety Report | Oct 08, 2013
Reported on Oct 08, 2013
| THE FIRST NIGHT I NOTICED THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE NEXT NIGHT MY BATTERY COMPLETELY DIED AND I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. THEN, THE DASHBOARD SAID SERVICE STABILITRAK SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON OR IT SAID SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. FROM WHAT I'M GATHERING ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MY REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMING ON AND MY SPEED WILL BE LIMITED TO SOMETHING LIKE 10-20 MPH AND I'M AFRAID BECAUSE I ALREADY WORK OVERNIGHT AND AWAY FROM HOME. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 56K MILES ON THE TRUCK AND I GOT IT A YEAR AGO WITH 24K MILES ON IT. IF THE PROBLEM IS THIS COMMON, WHY IS THE VEHICLE NOT RECALLED? THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES $80 TO EVEN PUT THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER TO SEE THE PROBLEM... *TR | |
