What owners wrote
"takata recall" during a side impact collison at 45MPH , the side air bag did not deploy (no air bags deployed) and the stabilitrak was disabled . An error message of service stabilitrak appeared during the accident
I was stopped at a light at a very busy intersection (auto off engaged). When I started to move, the car would barely go (auto off was disengaged). It was jerking as I was giving it gas. The service stabilitrak message came on and my check engine light came on. I managed to pull into a parking lot , put it in park and then I tried to rev the engine and it just didn't want to. I shut it off and then turned it back on and the message disappeared.
