While driving at highway speed, Service Traction Control/Stabilitrak warning comes on. Vehicle slows and if driver attempts to accelerate (using accelerator pedal), it causes severe lurching of vehicle. This makes the vehicle basically undrivable while in the middle of traffic. You must use emergency measures to pull over (potentially across multiple lanes) off the road and while trying to do that, you are in a very high risk state of being hit. The problem is reproduceable. The manufacturer and dealer service centers are aware of this problem and it has been reported by many owners of GM vehicles since at least 2010. Search the internet and you will find hundreds of incidents being reported.

Dec 2018 Crash Injury

TUESDAY, 7/18/2017. I WAS COMING OVER A SMALL DECLINE ON LOCAL ROAD IN EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND CAME UPON THE TRAFFICS LIGHT AND TRAFFICS AHEAD AND THE VEHICLE SHOT FOREWORD. APPLYING THE BREAKS HAD NO EFFECT. IN FACT THE CAR APPEARED TO ACCELERATE. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHICH CAUSED THAT VECHILE TO HIT ANOTHER. MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED VS BRAKING WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. APPLYING THE BRAKE HAD NO OR LITTLE EFFECT IN SLOWING THE VEHICLE. IS THERE, OR HAS THERE BEEN, REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE BUICK ENCLAVE, 2015 MODEL ?.
