My brakes went to the floor going 55 then they got really hard to press almost wrecked had to get towed! then after that the suspension felt really loose.
First time: March 21 - NJ turnpike. Car "stabilitrak icon" and service stabilitrak" msg & "tire pressure monitor" light, then "brake icon" and "abs icon" with "service power steering" msg, then "service all wheel drive system" msg - all while the icons are on - car lost all power. Car died in the middle of the NJ turnpike at almost exit 18e/w. Had vehicle towed, took first to firestone a day later, the found a code they said needed the chevy computers (p069e, u0073, d1231) - took to chevy a week later (bellavia chevy, rutherford, NJ), dealer said they found no codes - could be the battery. We cleaned the ports, changed the battery. Had new tires installed at firestone on 4/9. 4/9 picked up the car, this time driving from northern NJ to brooklyn and the exact same issue happened again, only this time, in the middle of the verrizano bridge in staten island. All the same lights / symptoms as above, lost all power. Managed to get off at the 92nd street exit and into a parking space - towed to parents house in brooklyn, made appt w/ chevy dealer for Monday 4/12 (bay ridge Chevrolet of brooklyn). Vehicle is now with them, awaiting diagnostic - this is clearly a safety issue and for the first dealer to not be able to diagnose / get a code and the issue happened again. I'm now over 500. 00 in diagnostics fees that did not fix anything. Both times were highway driving, weather conditions we good both days.
It keeps cutting off and the oil keeps going empty some say recall 11195a mite be the promblem but I dont know jus got the car and when I start it up the peddle gets stuck and starts rite back up in motion and soon as you back up and soon as you trun out it cuts off on the high way and on city street and turing.
Oil consumption high, metal particles in oil, cv axel joint bad.
I was driving the car and the traction/stabilizer control turned on with the engine light and a message stated slowing down. Then the truck stayed at 20mph, I was kinda on the highway and almost hit someone. The engine sound good. Other people online have the same issue. Why is it not a recall.
