I was driving down a 45 mph road, when suddenly a message to "service the StabiliTrak System" error message appeared. Shortly after my car read "power engine reduced" and I could no longer go above 20 mph. Very unsafe considering I had cars behind me and it was snowing! I pulled over, turned my car off, waited for a couple minutes, started it up again and it seemed okay, at that point. Traveled maybe 2 more miles down the road and it did the exact same thing, only this time my engine light also came on. Its now at the shop and a "repair" is costing me $500.00. NOT HAPPY! It seems this is something that is happening to others with this same vehicle around the 80,000 mile mark. Unacceptable. Could cause accidents, when car automatically powers down to 20mph and won't go above that. At one point, I was turning, and a car was coming at me while it did this. Good thing I had enough time to make it through. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL on this vehicle ASAP!
