When making a turn where there is a puddle of water, the engine dies, and I lose control of the power steering for serval seconds, it seems to mostly happen when making a right turn through water. I'm not talking about a lot of water. The dealer maintenance dept. The last time I spoke to them, and for the first time in 8 years, of complaining of this problem, the service manager said it is because the engine is mounted sideways, and when the water hits the fan belts it causes it to slip, which makes it seem like the engine has died. On 10/20/2018 I have reached out to general motors and got no place, they said that the dealership suggest that I bring it in for them to diagnose the problem, and for which I would have to pay for that, and any repairs that is needed, because it is out of warrantee. This is totally unfair, for I have had this problem for over 8 years, 6 of which were under warrantee. This is so wrong with the dealership and general motors handling of this issue that I felt it should be broth to the attention of your dept. To look into it, and get them to do a recall if it is possible. On your web site under vehicle complaints there are other people who have complained about this very same problem. So I am not the only one, it is the car.

While driving at 55-60 mph in 5:00 p. M. Baton rouge, la traffic on joor road, I heard the doors automatically lock, then the engine died, I lost power including steering, brakes, and almost caused a terrible pile-up as my car stopped in heavy traffic. I had no ability to steer, brake, no power. I was at the mercy of god and this dead car, praying that no one was killed. I eventually was able to coast to a stop. Other vehicles were able to move to other lanes, abandoning me to the right hand lane of traffic. I called onstar and they should have the recording of the conversation, the terror I was in, and their instructions. I have 4 recorded incidences of the repetitive nature of this vehicle malfunction. I can provide details of all incidences, follow-ups with gm, and eventually having to payoff the piece of "junk" at a loss of over $20,000. My last gm purchase. I have since been driving toyotas. My experiences with gm management was horrific.

Released it to us on June 26,and after a couple miles down the road we promptly returned again to the dealer.
