“LOW ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. SOMETIMES YOU CAN RESTART IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. NOW IT SPUTTERS AND HAS VERY LITTLE POWER. IF YOU TURN ON ANYTHING IT MAKES IT WORSE. IT SURGES AND STALLS. IT CHUGS ALONG UNTIL YOU TURN OFF AS MAY ELECTRICAL ITEMS AS POSSIBLE. *TR”

“2004 ENVOY XUV, IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED, HAD *NO* RESPONSE TO ACCELERATOR AS I MADE A LEFT TURN AT A LIGHT ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON DASH. WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. TURNED OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED, AND IT RAN OKAY BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT REAPPEARED. DROVE ANOTHER 35 MILES WITH LIGHT ON. THE NEXT MORNING IT HAD RE-SET AND THE LIGHT IS GONE FROM THE DASH. HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GM EXPECT US TO BE ABLE TO REPLICATE SUCH INCIDENTS FOR A TECH TO FIX? SUCH FAILURES WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE. *TR”
