My car has been having issues with starting. The problem isn't all the time. I'm not sure what the trigger is, but one or twice a week, it won't start. I thought it was the battery, but it's not. I changed it and still giving me issues. I read online and found that it might be the range switch because people that has this issue had their range switch replaced and no more issue. Before they replaced the range switch,…

When riding the vehicle at 60 -70 mph, and hitting a normal bump/hole in the road, the stability control makes very aggressive adjustments in the rear of the car and make you feel you are losing control of the car. During winter/snowy roads there is weak stability in the rear suspension. This is really scary!. Please help us identify what is the issue with this vehicle. Thanks *tr

I was driving in dry weather and on normal road conditions when the esc light begin to blink for no apparent reason. I could not accelerate when this occurred, and then the vehicle brakes locked up. Luckily, i was entering onto a on ramp and the vehicle skidded to a stop onto the shoulder. If this would have occurred while traveling at a higher rate of speed it could have been very dangerous. I had the vehicle towed…

Have had 3 instances during warm/hot weather that the esc light has come on (blinking) during normal city driving (after a little freeway driving & using the ac) & the vehicle performance is impaired due to the esc (no pwr or inadvertent braking w/o driver braking). Only way to bypass this is by using the esc off button. It appears to go away after the car is shut off & cooled down. Guessing that this is some kind…
