When exiting highway coming up to a stop sign or stop light or just braking, the engine shuts off with no warning or sputtering, while still rolling with no warning. This usually happens when pulling a trailer. No power brakes or power steering. The engine has shut off 5 times in the last month and a half and taken to the dealership where I am told every time "can't duplicate so as of now nothing is wrong with the vehicle. I have had to steer clear of car in front of me several times as to not crash. Serious safety issue. Told by ed bozarth Chevrolet dealership in colorado, that since no code was produced and can't duplicate the issue, nothing they can do. Told the problem is unknown. I have seen multiple forums where same make and years are having same problem. . Read more...
Engine started by itself while car was in the garage. Engine was racing. Garage was extremly hot from engine running. Key was in ignition but pulled out so the alarm wouldn't ding. Doors were not locked (need to be locked for remote engine start to work). Opened driver door, reached for keys and they fell out in my hand and the engine shut down by itself. We will take the car to pierce Dodge/gm ronan, mt for evaluation.
I was traveling on the freeway at about 70 mph coming from a supervision training class along with a CO-worker and the following sensor lights started appearing on my dashboard: traction control off, stabilitrak off. This has continued to happen on a regular basis. I have taken it to the gm service at least twice and private repair facilities numerous times and the situation continues. It is now 01-28-2014 and the situation continues and is getting worse. Alone with the above issues now the "reduce engine power" light comes on and the engine shuts down. It has become very dangerous to drive this vehicle and no repair facility, gm or otherwise, knows how to fix the problem. I have to drive so this vehicle is what I drive but, it is dangerous and gm needs to fix it or recall for this issue. I need answers quickly I fear this issue is dangerous for all concerned especially when this happens on a freeway!!.
