What does it mean when my car says service stabilitrak and service traction control? its main function is indicating that the traction system has been turned off manually to remind you to turn it back on when necessary. However, the stabilitrak warning light may also signal potential damage to vehicle components that allow the system to work effectively. Loss of power to engine, can't stear, feels like its about to blow up. It seems very usual for the Enclaves, traverses and acadias. And I had the same problem out of my 2014 traverse ltz.
When pulling onto a county road with traffic the transmission kept slipping and the engine would rev higher. It took a lot longer to get up to speed and the cars behind me had to brake quickly.
Last couple years I been having problems with the transmission skipping, hesitating a lot the dealer told me there is big problem with the transmission in this vehicle and they told me I will need new transmission or it has to be rebuilt because it will get worse with time. My mechanic add some lucas to help smooth up the shifting and I did that twice and it getting worse now so I don't know what I will do because new transmission is costly and rebuild also. The problem accurac when I drive every day and it's happens when I be cruising and the car be hesitating and shaking and don't want to down shift and then feels like is stoling and will shut down and this happens all the time. This happens every time I drive so this is safety issue and this is happening to a lot of people and should be recall for the transmission in this vehicle as soon possible. Thanks.
I purchased this car from suntrup Ford westport in July 2018. The day I took it home I found one issue with the rack and pinion and immediately took the vehicle to my local mechanic to be looked over. After being given a list of issues I took the car back to the dealership and was told that all of the issues would be addressed and fixed. 2 months and no communication later I get my car back and the brake booster still was not fixed, making the car unsafe for myself and my two children to be in. The dealership is now refusing to fix the brake booster which was on the original list of things wrong with the car and making it unsafe to drive. This incident took place between July 21st 2018 till sept 26th 2018.

I stopped at a red light on a hill and when I took my foot off the brake the vehicle started to roll backwards. It would roll backward when it was in drive. I almost hit the car behind me. Then I went out of town and tested it on other hills and it did the same thing. When I was going downhilli stopped and I put it in reverse and it rolled forward. When I was going uphill in drive and stopped and took my foot off the brake it would roll backward until I put my foot on the brake and as soon as I came to a stop and took my foot off the brake in would roll backwards again. It would have rolled to the bottom of the hill. This could be very dangerous.
Whenever the vehicle is in drive and on an incline the vehicle will roll backwards excessively if the brakes are not held. If I pull up to a signal light or intersection where there is an incline my heart is beating so fast because I am afraid the vehicle is going to roll backwards onto the vehicle behind me. I have been told by a dealership repair representative to "just apply the brakes. " well, you have to release the brakes in order to accelerate and merge into traffic and when I release the brakes to proceed, the vehicle will roll backwards unless I hurry up and accelerate (doing this, I run the risk of crashing into oncoming traffic). If there is a vehicle directly behind my vehicle, I could possibly roll backwards into it or into someone walking behind my vehicle. The dealership repair shop continues to tell me this is "normal". None of the vehicles my family has ever owned or that I've ever driven has done this. The dealership repair manager test drove other Enclaves on the lot and he said they did not roll backwards in similar situations. But when he test drove another 2012 Buick Enclave it also rolled backwards when on an incline and in drive. He told me that since the other 2012 Buick Enclave also rolled backwards, that he considered this as "normal". I told him it's not normal for a vehicle to excessively roll backwards like that; in my opinion this is a serious 2012 Buick Enclave issue. What am I to do if the brakes, god forbid, should also go out. I'm afraid that if I'm going up a bridge or something I'm going to roll backwards to my death.
