Engine is stalling as if its choking and whole car is shaking. Vehicle has been up to date in maintenance with 26000. Miles. Now check engine light is on along with traction control light .
•available for inspection. Unknown exact system failure •issue regularly occurs •dealership service. Transmission had to be replaced at around 10k miles and covered by warranty. •no lights indicating any problems. Forward collision alert activated. Vehicle has a lag between the time pressure is applied to the gas pedal and it causes a delay in acceleration resulting in the vehicle sort of lunging forward unexpectedly. About 15-20 seconds after the gas pedal is pressed it will have a sudden burst of quick acceleration. It only lasts a few seconds and there’s no time to correct the sudden acceleration by braking. I finally realized the seriousness of the issue after I very close to being in an accident today as a result of the delayed acceleration. I was stopped at a red light and pressed the gas once it turned green, another driver happened to change lanes as soon as we crossed the intersection, moving to the front of my vehicle, probably closer than they should have but more than able for me to react under normal circumstances if needed. However, it occurred at the same time my vehicle randomly had a burst of acceleration and I had to swerve into the next lane to avoid hitting the car, because I wasn’t expecting to speed forward and did not have time to correct by braking. It happens about 40% of the time when going over 15-20mph (estimate) after I come to a complete stop and then press the gas to begin moving again. For example it won’t do it if I’m letting off the break to movie forward at a stop sign or lines, etc. It only happens when I accelerate with the intention of being able to reach the posted speed limit before I’d need to make another stop. Stop lights are the primary issue, as well as when exiting somewhere to get back onto the road, for example the gas station.
I was retrieving something out of the truck and the liftgate fell on me. I never felt such excruciating pain. I had to lift the liftgate off of me. There was no warning or anything that gave me the indication the liftgate was malfunctioning. When I opened the trunk of the SUV there was no indication something let this would happen because it opened just fine. This liftgate hit me so hard that it caused major bruises on my back and hips. I hurt my shoulder because I had to lift the liftgate off of me. To say the least I ended up in the emergency room. Me and my husband started seeing is this an ongoing issue with the liftgates and it is. So many complaints, yet no recalls. What does it take? someone to be killed by this? so many people are being hurt, but gm does not recall this? so sad. Its time gm put people over profits!!! this should have never happened!!!.
