I accidentally posted in the XLR-V section. I did a search on Stabilitrac and didn't realize I responded to a XLR-V issue. So, I've moved the issue description here (where it belongs)...
I'm curious if anyone has experienced this problem and knows what the fix is for the problem?
Driving along with Adaptive Cruise enabled. Straight road with slight bumps and rolling pavement. Mostly flat road, though.
All of a sudden the ACC turns off and the beeping starts (no pedal push or change in the cruise control was done at the time). The DIC appears to have a message but only a blank screen appears for a split second followed by the regular DIC message (the current "range" in my case).
This continues at the rate of about once every 15 miles.
On the fourth time this happens, the XLR lurches left and then corrects back right with no steering inputs, the ACC turns off, beeps start and a static Service Stabilitrac message appears. The TC indicator light has a slash through it as well. Cycling of the TC button does not change anything (other than putting Traction Control Off/On messages on the DIC). Turning off the car and restarting eliminates the Service Stabilitrac light and extinguishes the "no TC" light.
I take it to my dealer. They say they have located an open (I assume in the wiring) in the Stabilitrac system that was pointed-out by a service bulletin. My wife picks the XLR up from the dealer.
About 15 miles away from the dealer, the car lurches right and then corrects left with no steering inputs, a message starts to appear and then doesn't. By the time she got back to the dealer this had happened an additional 6 to 7 times. My wife said that one or two times she could see "Stabilitrac" in the DIC before the message went away. Needless to say she was very nervous by the time she got back to the dealer. BTW, my wife refuses to use the ACC, so that was off this time.
Any ideas as to the cause of this? I don't like the idea of the car losing control because of the system that is designed to prevent the XLR from losing control (that would be irony)! The dealer will obviously be hearing from me about an unsafe condition that they placed my wife.
