On 10/23/18, about 1-2 miles after exiting highway, I was driving when my traction control on appeared on my dashboard with engine light on, my vehicle started to shake like it was about to die and I could not accelerate any more. I went from 40mph to 10-15mph. I was turning left at a light and had to pull in to a parking lot and vehicle started shaking so much. It was difficult to maneuver the turns. Then the shaking just stopped. Turned my vehicle off and back on, traction control and engine light disappeared like nothing had happened. I drove but would not accelerate past 20 mph. Turned vehicle off for a while and everything was back to normal. On 10/30/18, vehicle was in motion again, traveling 40 mph, then traction control came back on with engine light, I slowed down to 20 mph again and was able to pull over before engine started to shake and or turn. Turned off the engine again, powered back on and it drove like normal again. This has happened twice to me with my children in my vehicle. Incident happened when pavement was dry, no debris on road, this is an safety issue, and I am grateful it did not occur on the highway while I was traveling 60 mph in morning traffic. Contacted GM where after explaining my issue to sue and she even stated it was a safety issue. Dealership stated that they could run diagnostics but if neither traction control on or engine light was on, may not read as to what the problem is and they could not get me in until 11/2/18.

Power steering pump failure 32 months & 55,000 miles after new purchase from dealer. Out of warranty due to mileage. Complete power steering failure often at low speeds or when stationary. Intermittent issues during larger turns at speed where power steering will kick in harder or not enough at times felt more in the steering wheel than in the turn itself. Incredibly dangerous and should not be happening so soon or at all. Diagnosed by mavis after issues were noticed while driving.

It was 70 degrees outside and raining. I was leaving a store, backed out of my parking spot and drove to the end of the first lane, I stopped, then as I started to move forward and turn right, my power steering did not work anymore. I was very hard to turn and made growling noise. I couldn't make the right turn. I stopped quickly, backed up to get out of lane, and steering became very loose in reverse. I stopped, tried forward again, and it did it again, very tight steering, could not turn all the way to make the turn and growling. I backed up and parked and turned off vehicle, then started again, then it worked fine for the trip home.
