Replying to: truesdell (Nov 11, 2007 4:00 am) I feel your pain since the dealer was not helpful I ended up buying a computer reader so I can get the code when the light is actually on. (since by the time I end up at the dealer it is off). A new car and I had to do this. But unfortunately the reader did not show a code.   I then received a general notice in the mail from Pontiac that I have one year to fix a problem with the Stabilitrak light not coming on when it should. This is the opposite of my problem. I took it in for service and so far the light did not come back on but since it was an intermittant problem I do not know for sure if it is resolved.   I hate the fact of not knowing for sure if the problem was resolved or if there actually is something wrong with the Stabilitrak. This since the notice from Pontiac did not describe it as a fix for my particular problem and the dealer being totally clueless about my problem.   I also did not consider the relationship to the gas mileage. Your post makes me wonder about this since the mileage does suck being 16-19mpg.

Replying to: automax2900 (Apr 13, 2008 10:41 am) It sounds like your Torrent is not fixed. Take it back to the people who did the repairs and have them check the wiring, sensors and transmission. You paid them to fix it and they didn't.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: mrock (Jul 28, 2007 1:37 pm) I, too, have had similar issues with the "service stabilitrak" "traction control" "reduce engine power" and check engine light. At first they would come on maybe once a week, but have become progressively worse. I took it to the dealer when the lights weren't on, and also said "sorry, come back when they're on." So I did. The mechanics said that there were several codes that showed up, and GM wasn't giving them any answers or solutions.   Now, I've tried everything. I tried a different dealer, with no luck. The last time I took it in they basically told me that there are 5 different things they could try, but my extended warranty wouldn't cover it, and it could cost up to $5000. I cannot afford that gamble...it still may not work.   The worst part is the "reduce engine power." I cannot drive at the speed limit when in "limping mode." This is now happening everyday.   What do I try? Is it the throttle body? Or is it the speed sensor? I can't try everything, I'm on a limited budget here.   I have to fix this car. I can't afford this lemon anymore!!!
#9 of 9 Traction Control Light by bking94030 Apr 22, 2009 (8:28 pm)
I have an 06' Pontiac Torrent and it seems every time I wash it either by hand or through the car wash the T/C, Check Engine and Emissions lights come on. The T/C light will go off first approximately 2-4 hours later and full power is restored. The other two go off usually 4-6 hours later. Where is the T/C sensor located? Can this be avoided in the future or do I have to live with it the way it is?
