What owners wrote
While driving on freeway traction control off light came on the engine speed reduced came on and car immediately went from 60 MPH to 15-20 causing me to spin out and lose control on freeway and eventually slammed into side of road, (managed to drive home going about 15 MPH at 1:00 in the morning)bending my axle and the next day on the news it was reported cars with onstar were hacked. Next morning no light was on in the car and able to drive with bent axle. Repairs completed and my insurance rates were increased.
My vehicle has been doing this since it was purchased. The acceleration and deceleration are jerky sometimes. It feels occasionally like I have been rear-ended. I feel like it tries to accelerate while I am applying the breaks. When I am trying to apply the gas sometimes it has no power and I have to push the pedal down harder which leads it to jerk forward. Hard gear shifting lots of shaking and lurching.
