STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEMS I AM THE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS 165,000+ MILES ON IT. WE HAVE REPAIRED/REPLACED ABOUT $6900: IN 2017 EVAP PURGE VALVE, IN 2017 UPPER COOLANT HOSE, 2016 WATER PUMP GASKET, TIMING CHAIN, 2014 CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND GASKETS, 2014 WATER PUMP AND FRONT MOTOR MOUNT, IN 2009 REVERSE CLUTCH PLATE. NOW THE STABILITY TRAC AND TRACTION LIGHTS BOTH CAME ON STATING TO SERVICE THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN YOU ARE IN MOTION AND COME TO A STOP. PLUS TODAY, THE AC DOES NOT COME NOW. ONE VEHICLE WITH ONE OWNER SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS. CHEVY HAS GOT TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS 2009 MODEL. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
