What owners wrote
I was concerned about the traction control/stabilitrak feature on my 2008 saturn vue redline. I've owned the vehicle for almost 16 months (purchased brand new) and within that time period the traction control/stabilitrak indicators turned on in the dic approximately 15-20 times. The vehicle then starts to jerk pretty rough. I need to pull of the road and shut down the vehicle then restart for the indicator lights to shut off.
My airbag light won't turn off. My dashboard lights won't reset. The staircase light is on, the oil light, the suspension light. I've had electrical problems since purchasing the car which now has 99,972 miles on it.
