What owners wrote
While driving down hwy 175, vehicles check engine light came on with message 'service stabilitrak' followed by an abrupt loss of power. Happens regularly and without warning.
Power steering pump connection issue. Pump kicks in and out cause steering wheel to suddenly stiffen. Can be very dangerous if in traffic. Some recall needs to take action to save lives on this serious matter. No recalls as of now I was on the highway when I felt a sudden stiffness in the steering wheel. Got off and checked the fluid. It was topped off and it was even harder to maneuver when vehicle is stationed.
