TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND PERSISTED AFTER EACH REPAIR. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO INFORMED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB JOHNSON 390 CHEVROLET INC. (2780 LAKEVILLE RD, AVON, NY 144140) WHERE SIMILAR REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO HOSELTON CHEVROLET (909 FAIRPORT RD, EAST ROCHESTER, NY 14445) WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS RESET HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 56K MILES. VEHICLE HAVING MISFIRE WHILE DRIVING, ROUGH IDLE WHILE SITTING AND SLUGGISH AT TIMES. MISFIRE AND ROUGH IDLE NOT HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. HAD GENERIC CODE CHECK DONE BEFORE I COULD GET INTO DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT... MULTIPLE CODES WITH RUNNING LEAN AND 02 SENSOR. WAS ABLE TO GET INTO DEALER AFTER THE WEEKEND AND THEY DID DIAGNOSTIC. FOUND POWER STEERING GEAR INLET HOSE LEAKING ONTO O2 SENSOR (B1 S1) CAUSING THE WHOLE PROBLEM. NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR COST AT THIS TIME AND HAVE BEEN SEEING WHERE OLDER MODELS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE AND MORE RECENT MODELS HAVING LEAKS DUE TO HOSES BEING TOO CLOSE TO OTHER HOSES. SO I AM CONCERNED WITH REPLACING THE HOSE AND SENSOR AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR AGAIN. *TR

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.

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.
