SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2013 THERE HAS BEEN FOUR INCIDENTS WHERE THE ENGINE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRST TWO INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WHILE AWAY AT COLLEGE WITH THIS VEHICLE. ON APPROXIMATELY 5/17/14, WHILE ON INTERSTATE 287 (60MPH) THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ON APPROXIMATELY 6/20/14 IN S. ORANGE, NJ THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING IN STREET TRAFFIC (28MPH). THE THIRD AND FOURTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON APPROXIMATELY 8/7/14 AT A STOP LIGHT (0MPH) WHILE WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL TO CHANGE THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN TOTALLY. ON 9/1/14 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 81N THE VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, A MESSAGE READ "LOSS OF ENGINE POWER' CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 72MPH AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THREE OTHER CARS AND A TRACTOR-TRAILER. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE ATTEMPTING TO PASS THE TRUCK WITH THREE OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WENT BLACK AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. THE CAR BEHIND ME WENT INTO A DITCH ON THE LEFT, WHILE THE SECOND CAR SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ME. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) HOURS FROM S. ORANGE, NJ TO SYRACUSE, NY. I WAS USING ONLY THE IGNITION KEY AND THE CAR REMOTE ON THE KEYRING. NO OTHER ITEMS WERE ON THE KEY RING. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ONE INJURED AND NO CRASH OCCURRED. I AM NOT USING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DISTURBING SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO IS AWAY AT COLLEGE. THIS IS MORE THAN AN UNINTENDED KEY ROTATION AS GM IS CLAIMING. PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS. PURCHASE MILEAGE = 56,372, CURRENT MILEAGE = 58,824. *TR

WE RETURNED HOME FROM GROCERY SHOPPING AND AS WE WERE BRINGING GROCERIES IN, MY WIFE COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING.

SHE OPENED THE HOOD AND SEEN SMALL FLAMES. SHE QUICKLY EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. I PULLED THE CAR OUTSIDE TO INVESTIGATE AND AS I WAS DISASSEMBLING THE CARS FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM, THE FOG LIGHT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS MELTED AND THE PLASTIC ON THE LARGER LIGHT FIXTURE WAS MELTED ALSO. I DID TAKE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE. *TR
