2016 Chevrolet Traverse

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the vehicle was retrieved from a dealer after a recall regarding the air bags; however, while driving approximately 25 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lunged forward. The contact stated that the Stability Control warning light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle back to the dealer, and the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle remained with the dealer for 2 months and the dealer attempted to perform the air bag recall again. The contact stated that later, when the vehicle was picked up, while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the Stability Control warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lunged forward while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to another dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and had referred the contact to the second dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 TRAVERSE AFTER A CANCER TREATMENT HOME WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MSGS ON MY DASH STARTED APPEARIBG. SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THE CAR STARTED SHUTTERING AND THE GUY BEHIND ME REAR ENDED ME WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. SINCE THEN I HAVE PUT 2 POWER STEERING PUMPS IN, AND HAD IT ST THE SHOP FOR SEVERAL TIMES THAT IT HAD SAID ABOUT SERVICIB SRABILITRAK. I HAVE READ OVER 300 HRS OF COMPLAINTS GAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRSK. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED SPEED SENSORS AND MODULES. THIS IS A TRASH VECHILE AND NO ONE FROM GM CARES OR RESPONDS. WHEN SOMEONE CHILD DOES MAYBE IT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS WHAT I PLAN ON PURSUING. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MY CHILD. I HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS N CAN CARE ENOUGJ TO HELP. THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 65000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY THE VEHICLES STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER - WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN CRASH AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIME NOW, THEN THE ABS LIGHT, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. EACH TIME THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS FLASH AND THEN THERE IS A LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, IT IS FOR THIS REASON I AM REPORTING IT HERE.

I HAD HAD THIS 2016 TRAVERSE AND IT HAS 64000 MILES. IT HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FLASHED SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/SERVICE STABILITRAC SYSTEM. IT HAPPENS OUTTA NOWHERE. I'VE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND A CODE. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING CUTTING POWER TO THE ENGINE. NO REASON FOR IT TO HAPPEN AND IT'S NOT FIXED. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON GM PROBLEM. NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ON ANY STREET. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 TRAVERSE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND I RECEIVED THE STABILITRAK WARNING, ALONG WITH THE ABS & CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELLING ACROSS COUNTRY WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO STUTTER, SHAKE AND WITH IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER, I STRUGGLED TO STEER OF THE MAIN LANES AND NARROWLY ESCAPING A LIFE-THREATENING CRASH.

WHILE DRIVING 75 ON A FREEWAY THE SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND I COULDN'T GO OVER 40MPH ALL AT ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LIMPED OFF THE FREEWAY WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, THANK GOD AND BROUGHT TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME ISSUE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS ON THE SAME VEHICLE AND OTHER CHEVROLET VEHICLES. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO DIAGNOSE A MORE GENERAL ISSUE THAT COULD BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE TESTED WITHOUT REPLACING HUNDREDS OR POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PARTS. IT COULD BE EVEN BE ONE OF A VARIETY OF SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WITH SUCH A HIGH TECH COMPUTER ON THE VEHICLE, HOW IS IT THAT THERE IS NOT A SPECIFIC PROBLEM CODE OR LIGHT TO TELL YOU OR A MECHANIC WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. SECONDLY THAT A GENERAL CODE COMING UP ON A CAR SHOULD NOT BE POWERING THE ENGINE DOWN SO DRASTICALLY. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE WAS SOMEONE RIGHT BEHIND ME. THIS IS A HAZARD WORTH A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF IT.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT FLASHES ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THE VEHICLE THEN SLOWS TO 25MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS GONE AWAY AFTER I RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED ON A BRIDGE WITH MY DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR. I ENDED UP GETTING MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY. IF YOU RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM, IT IS A BIG ISSUE. GM SHOULD BE MADE TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS.

WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES IN, THE DASH FLASHES SERVICE STABILTRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN TO 25 MPH AND IF YOU TRY TO SPEED UP IT SHUTTERS AND BUCKS. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RETURN IT OFF AND THEN WHEN TURNING IT BACK ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT A DAY BUT OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ARE GONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT EVERY TIME, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWS ITSELF DOWN TO 25 MPH WITH NO WARNING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, WITHOUT WARNING, THE DASHBOARD FLASHED A WARNING THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. IT ALSO DISPLAYED THAT ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED TO 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT OVER 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND WE HAD TO TRY TO MAKE IT BACK OVER ONTO THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER WITHOUT SOMEONE PLOWING INTO US. OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, THIS HAS OCCURRED FOUR MORE TIMES FOR NO DISCERNABLE REASON. THIS ISSUE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, AT ANY SPEED AND THE VEHICLE IS IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO 25 MPH. CHEVROLET IS HIGHLY NEGLIGENT IN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM. AS I BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I'VE FOUND CASES OF THIS OCCURRING IN THE TRAVERSE AND EQUINOX MODELS AS EARLY AS 2011.

STABILITRACK MESSAGE COMES ON AND REDUCED POWER FOR NO REASON. LOSES POWER INSTANTLY AND HAVE TO PULL OVER. TURNS BACK ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON, BUT CAN DRIVE AS NORMAL UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND WHO KNOWS WHEN IT COMES BACK. SEVERAL TIMES HAS ACTED LIKE IT IS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE. REVERSE IS OKAY. OTHER TIMES IT HAS NOT STARTED, AT ALL. I BROUGHT IT IN AND DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS BATTERY. REPLACED IT, THEN WORKED OK FOR COUPLE DAYS, THEN SAME PROBLEMS STARTED SHOWING BACK UP. BROUGHT BACK IN AND CODE P2138 SHOWED UP INDICATING PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. I REPLACED PEDAL AND THE ISSUE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS NOT COME BACK YET (3 WEEKS). OTHER ISSUES HAVE RECENTLY SHOWN BACK UP (NOT STARTING SOMETIMES, STUCK IN 4TH GEAR). I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR JUST OVER A YEAR (BOUGHT IT FROM ENTERPRISE WITH 14,500 ON IT), AND NOW HAVE 71,000 MILES AND HAVING WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS FOR IT BEING ALL HIGHWAY AND DRIVING IT EASY. TOO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEMS NOT TO HAVE IT FIXED/RECALLED BY CHEVY. I USED TO BE A CHEVY GUY, NOW MAY MOVE ELSEWHERE.....
