Driving down the highway, car starts to shake vigorously, start to slow itself down. I barely made it to a safe place to pull over. After I stopped, the car brakes just locked down. Could not go anywhere. Let cool down for 15 minutes and I was able to start and drive with no issues.

45 miles down the road it did the same thing again. starting shaking, got the stability light and started slowing down. Took a little longer this time before the car would begin to move. Anyway it did this several more times before I arrived at home.

Next day took to the dealership that I bought it from. Got one of those lifetime warranties. They told me it was my computer, and charged me almost 700 dollars and told me that it wasn't covered under the warranty. Drove the car home.

Next day on the way to work it locked up again. I took it back and told them it wasn't the computer and it still had the issue. They just threw up their hands, kept my money and sent me on my way. Still cannot find anyone to fix my problem. Driving it, you just don't know when it's gonna stop along side the road.

The Stability Track light came on and before we could make it to the dealership. the car lost power and steering and the car was yanked off the road in traffic. Now I'm out the deductible to fix the car and the liability on on my end. GMC keeps saying that there is no recall but there should be. They honestly don't understand how scary it is and how unsafe it is.

This is the second issue I have had with this car in the past three months. The fuel throttle has already been replaced since this light came on and the power was reduced forcing me to only go about 20 mph. I have wasted more time on the first car I have purchased brand new than any other used car I have had. This is unacceptable. To top it all off, the month that I make my final payment on the car is when everything started to happen. Also, the “computer’ is malfunctioning now so that every time I turn the car off, the clock zips ahead 6 hours. No matter how many times I reset, this continues to happen too.
