What owners wrote
Was just leaving funeral and started vehicle then service traction control, service stabilitrak, traction control off, stabilitrak off, loss of control noticed displayed. Tried to drive but experienced bucking and drastic power loss. Took to dealer who said failure was due to faulty throttle position sensor - a problem he indicated was recurring for that vehicle. Luckily he serviced under vehicle warranty. But disappointing to see at less than 40,000 miles.
