[QUOTE="2Wheels, post: 211093, member: 3804"] ok some of you guys work on cars and trucks right? Somebody [I]PLEASE[/I] make some sense of this for me [IMG]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c253/wFo250/55404D09-8070-4913-A060-A05EDAC613BD.jpg[/IMG] This is my '17 Silverado 1500 Got an email 1. An issue has been detected with your anti lock brakes blah blah and email 2. An issue has been detected with your stabilitrac blah blah Now why the hell would the engine reduce in power while I'm doing 78mph on the freeway? Doesn't make sense to me. I know the drill, had an 04 that would do this at random and they never figured out why changed sensors relays an dash cluster.. anyway pullover shut down, count to 10 start back up and drive as normal. What the fkn FK is this a safety feature? All I got was apologies from the svc dept at the dealer this morning, but I kept asking why does this feature exist? I don't NEED anti loc brakes or stabilitrac I got along fine without that for years but disabling the motor is the stupidest 'advancement' in car technology I've ever heard. When do you draw the line at which malfunction warrants reducing my engine power? "Uh oh tailights out and low tire pressure that's dangerous, better shut er down" That little feature is going to be me killed. Safety my ass. Just last week I had the oil changed and tires rotated, I have a good guess that ill get a call in a couple hours saying idiot didn't connect a wire properly all fixed good to go sir.
