On my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer the message center shows "Stabilitrack Active" while im driving straight ahead. You can feel the Stabilitrack activate and the engine braking the vehicle. When the vehicle is first started, the message center shows "Service Stabilitrack" and "Service brake system". I havent taken it in yet and wanted to see if anyone else had heard of this. Its bad enough to where even when I have the shifter in park and the car idles you can feel the engine missing from the Stabilitrack trying to kick in. When I press and hold the button on the shifter to disable Stabilitrack, nothing happens. I've searched the forums to no avail. Any ideas what could cause this?

Welcome! I don't have that system, but I've read a lot about flaky steering wheel yaw sensors. Have you connected a high end scan tool to see if there's any codes related to the ABS system?
Sometimes, the ground connection to the ABS control unit gets corroded and flaky. It's on the frame rail under the vehicle under the driver's seat area.
It's hard to see why you'd get erratic idle, though. Stabilitrac's engine connection should be suppressed when you're not moving. What's your mileage, maintenance history, and have you changed the plugs and all fluids at 100K?

Like Roadie said hook a high end scanner and then check codes also you can watch the abs and stab. track at the same time. I had a problem with my left rear axle reluctor this controls the abs and stab. track. Im not saying this is your problem but try the scaner. My 2006 trailblazer 4.2 70,000+ miles. Good luck.

Wow...they were really trying to shaft you... I got the sensor for $97 (acdelco OEM) and installed it in 1 hour... So dealer price maybe 130? 1 hr labor $120... Total 250? Where did the get the other $150?
