WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A NOISE SIMILAR TO THAT OF WHICH YOU HEAR WHEN THE SEAT BELT ISN'T ENGAGED THEN THE DISPLAY ON THE RADIO READS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT IT READS "ENGINE POWER DISABLED" AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SAFETY WHERE I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION TO OFF. TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I WAITED 10 MINUTES AND THEN WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN BUT IT DIDN'T START NORMAL IT KIND OF SPUTTERED AND THEN STARTED. I WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. A SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED A DIFFERENT DAY WHEN I WAS PARKED. I STARTED THE CAR AND IT IMMEDIATELY MADE THE ABOVE MENTIONED NOISE, GAVE ME THE SAME 2 MESSAGES AND THEN SHUT ITSELF DOWN. I THEN COULD START IT AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE BY A DEALER AND HAVE NOT YET HAD THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED.

THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT AREAS THAT I ASSUME ARE THE CAUSE OF MY CAR'S PROBLEMS. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS HAS STAYED OFF, REGARDLESS OF PASSENGERS BEING PRESENT SINCE 2014, I BELIEVE. USING THE KEY DOES NOT CHANGE THE AIR BAG STATUS. ALSO THIS MAY BE PART OF THE ELECTRICAL AREA, BUT AT AROUND THE SAME TIME MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO MALFUNCTIONED. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN I REALIZED BOTH THINGS. ALSO I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH TRACTION CONTROL COMING ON OUT OF NO WHERE, AND INSTEAD OF THE ENGINE SPEED BEING REDUCED, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. SOMETIMES IT WILL LIKE RESET AFTER I PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR OVER 10 MINUTES, BUT IT WILL COME BACK ON REPEATEDLY. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WAIT RESTART, PULL OVER WAIT RESTART SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A USUAL 20 MINUTE DRIVE AT TIMES. ALSO I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIR COMPRESSOR STAYING ENGAGED. MY CAR KIND OF BOGS DOWN WHEN THE COMPRESSOR DOES KICK IN, AND IT REPEATEDLY KICKS ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ANY DISTANCE AT ALL. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY. THE MESSAGE CENTER ON THE RADIO CONSTANTLY SAYS THAT I HAVE LOW COOLANT, BUT THAT IS AN ERROR MESSAGE. IN THE SUSPENSION AREA MY WHOLE FRONT END(STRUTS, BALL BEARINGS, ETC) SEEM TO BE BAD. WHEN I DRIVE OVER A SMALL BUMP THE WHOLE CAR SHUTTERS AND PULLS WILDLY TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. IT FEELS LIKE MY TIRES HIT INTO THE RIM ITSELF OVER SPEED BUMPS WHEN I AM DRIVING MERELY 10 MILES PER HOUR.

RECEIVING NOTICES FROM GM ABOUT RECALL #14116 BUT NO DEALER HAS THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL NOTICE. RECALL SAYS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING POSSIBLE AND WOULD LIKE TO GET REPAIRED. LOCAL DEALERS HAVE NO SOLUTION AND SIMPLY SAYS THE MFR. HAS NOT SENT THE PART. *JS
