| Electronic Stability Control problems |
My 2008 Saturn Vue Hybrid started having huge problems. First the air conditioner started blowing hot air then the stabilitytrak and service hybrid system; loss power warning came on along with the check engine light. My 2008 Saturn Vue Hybrid would power down to 50% before engine shuts down. Sometimes it restarts then shuts down again. It did this off and on for about a few weeks. Sometimes vehicle refused to start and when I attempted to turn key it seemed like was stuck inside making it hard to turn or remove it. The mechanic replaced the battery and even hybrid battery and it was fine for some time. However today 10/14/14 in the middle lane of brooklyn queens expressway (busy highway) in new york city the automobile started to stall at 45 mph and the stabilitytrak and service hybrid system, loss power warning came on along with the check engine light then suddenly engine shut down. Fortunately no accident occurred and cars behind me were able to maneuver while I was able to drift over to curbside. Can you imagine if my car stalled at the crossroads? I was having my wife and 5 years old child in the car traveling with me. They started to have a panic attack because it seemed we are going to crash and die. I called towing company to tow us to safety. I'm scared to drive this car since. Please help and assist to push gm to take responsibility and recall the issue in order to avoid more serious casualties.
First off I have had this issue from the beginning. Basically my car's electrical system pulls back and then all the lights start to go off. Elec stability control, air bags, the steering sort of locks up and I have stalled on occasion. I have had my car in the shop numerous times this issue and it never seems to get fixed. It sounds like the same issue gm is having with their current recall but my car is not on the list. I have only one key on my key chain and that does not seem to make any difference. It is a very uncomfortable feeling not knowing if my car will work tomorrow. Delillo Chevrolet in hunting beach, CA has been very helpful in trying to detect the problem and they have been very gracious but I need the issue resolved once and for all. My intention is to hand down this car to my 16 year old but not if the current issue persists.
