Okay, so I purchased the truck from a dealership used. I've never had a vehicle with stabilitrak before so I was completely clueless when the problem happened. Driving home on my 50 mile commute when all of a sudden the stabilitrak light comes on and then service traction control comes on. Next thing I know, the whole truck is shaking like crazy with a severe loss of power. I pull over and shut it off and sit for 5 minutes and it all goes back to normal but a few minutes later it happens again and doesn't turn off. I finally get it home and take it to a dealer to diagnose and repair. It was a spark plug. Now, I'm sorry, but that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard or seen in my life, and this eventually leads to my next complaint. But let's just say the engine and computer reacting the way it did to a spark plug being bad damaged a lot more because of the shaking.
Stabilitrac, traction control service, abs, check engine faults are a pain. I've taken truck to three service garage and cost is in excess of $1500. But the faults are still present. NO ONE KNOWS, IT'S INHERENT IN GM VEHICLES.
