| Snowy conditions - about 2 inches on the ground; as i began to descend the hill near my home i tried to apply the brakes to keep a slow pace down the hill. brakes failed and i began to slide down the hill. steering was unresponsive; messages interchangeably flashed on the dashboard - 'service stabilitrak' and 'service traction control'. i had no control over the vehicle, and halfway down the hill jumped an 8 curb. fortunate that the vehicle swerved to the right because there were parked cars to the left. also, fortunate there were no people/children around, who could have been hit. $3000 damage to the underside of the vehicle. very frightening to lose complete control of the car - i thought awd, abs, traction control and stabilitrak are supposed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle in adverse conditions. everything failed at once. got the vehicle to the closest gm dealership; they ran diagnostics and surprise, everything checks out. they have no indication anything failed, so nothing further they can do except repair the physical damage. i experienced a complete failure of brakes, steering, traction, and electronic stability control and the dealership is telling me i did not - that the conditions were slick and that's what caused the accident. isn't that when all of those safety features are supposed to engage? this is the first time i experienced a malfunction like this in this vehicle. now i'm afraid to drive the vehicle, once it's fixed, esp. with other passengers. i may not even keep it. *tr | |||

| On aug 20 the truck in front of me with a hitch stopped; so did i. the car behind me and the car behind him didn't stop. i took the car to springmall auto body in springfield - $5500 worth of damage. one week after i picked it up, i was driving and the engine shut down. i got on onstar and they said the traction and abs control module failed. i took it back to springmall. because it's so new, they drove the car to where i bought it - rte 1 pontiac, gm and buick, woodridge va. upon receipt of the vehicle, the mechanic never asked for paperwork from the autobody shop who delivered it - they had no idea the extent of the damage. the mechanic said he needed to drive it home to see if it would do it again. the next day, they said they fixed it and told me to pick it up. one week later after a 2 hr ride to richmond - it petered out again and i had to dive for the breakdown lane. i brought it back to rte 1 buick and they said they would have to keep my car (which i am leasing) and apparently it was something else wrong. i asked them to immediately call springmall and get a fax of the accidnet and extent of damages - they were shocked. i said i didn't mind leaving it, but i wanted my miles refunded. they said no. the whole scene turned ugly and they told me to leave the shop. i have a pregnant daughter and a granddaughter who ride in that car a lot - why did they tell me it was fine to drive if it wasn't? the car just stops!! the head mechanic said the only thing he could do was put a black box on my car, which he did. that was over two months ago and the problem hasn't occurred yet. he said just becuase onstar said what it was, that may not be the problem. they told me to stay in the slow right lane and if it occurs, push the top of this plugged in black box and head for the breakdown lane. i never know when it will happen, and i am scared to death. please help me i have a new car that i can't drive; it may even take the lives of people i love. *tr | |||
