Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Saturn Outlook. The contact states that while travelling at 50 mph the anti lock brake stable track light illuminates. The back end of the vehicle will start the sway back and forth and feels like it starts to hydroplane. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times but the problem keeps reacuring. The manufacturer stated that the car was out of warranty. The failure mileage was unavailable. Tf.
I have 1 rear brake going out. The windshield leaks like a sieve. I have a leak somewhere near my radiator. And I'm told the chip in my transmission is going out on me. I have my dash board screeching bloody murder at me and my ears swell and I look like I have the mumps. I have taken it to the lot I'm buying from and they shrug and say OH well. This is unacceptable. I rarely if ever go on the freeway. I park off the street. I use the alarm system religiously. And it's over heating where the battery is.
About every 5 min beping sound would sound and dashboard stated,service air bag,service brakes/stabalizer & would cutoff cruse control. Headlights very dim at night.
Jan 2014 had problems with stabilitrac / traction control and transmission entering expressway. The stabilitrac / traction control service soon light came on and then the car began shifting hard as we began to enter traffic, the car then started to lose power we got off the expressway in fear of being hit and went to the dealer were they found nothing wrong. The car continued to do this on and off for some time for the next few months. In June 2014 coming home from a soccer game I my wife our son and another player had this happen again while traveling 70mph on the us23 expressway, stabilitrac / traction control service light came on transmission started shifting hard and then the transmission lost the ability to engage, the car began to slow almost getting hit. (thank god we made it to a safe place) we replaced the transmission because of broken wave plates within the transmission. On 3/7/15 took car in again for stabiltrac / traction control same thing again is happening dealer found nothing wrong told us to bring back when lights are on. 3/14/15 lights came on again took in dealer was unable to find anything wrong. Service adviser there was no danger driving the car but that I might after time begin to loss power and may not be able to travel over 20mph. I explained the history to him his advice was to avoid the expressways. My fear is to die in this car when merging into expressway traffic. After reviewing many compliants about the transmission and traction control / stabilitrac on the internet about the following cars Saturn Outlook, GMC acadia, chevy traverse and Buick enclave I hope that gm can come up with a fix before anyone has to die!.
While driving my car, I noticed the stabiltrak error message on the dash and a message to get my brakes serviced. I thought it would go away, but keep coming up. Took the car into the dealership and have to have the stabiltrak replaced. I have looked online and noticed that this is an issue with a lot of people. Seems like it should be looked into by gm. Can cause major problems with the car like turning over!.
