SEVERAL TIMES NOW I HAVE RECEIVED A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE, AS WELL AS PERIODIC SERVICE STABILITY TRAK AND SERVICE ABS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I MAKE A TIGHT TURN OR HIT A ROUGH PATCH IN THE ROAD. THE MOST RECENT TIME THIS HAPPENED, I COULD NOT GET RID OF THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND CONSEQUENT REDUCED SPEED. I FELT THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VAN TO THE DEALER SO I HAD IT TOWED. NOW THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I AM ASSURED THAT IT IS FIXED. I CAN SEE ONLINE THAT MANY GM CARS SEEM TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, YET WHEN I CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT LINE, SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND A BULLETIN OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS - I AM SO WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
