I own a 07 chevy Tahoe lt & have had problems with the stabilitrac system since I bought it under warranty from the chevy dealer. Originally all my car did was turn off the stabiltrac and say service stabilitac then it started to turn it self into saftey mode where it reduces engine power &won't let you basically drive,then it started locking the doors by itself I have taken it in several times only to have the dealerships garage tell me its a different issue every time, everything from the bearings to a tiny cord. Well my car has continued to randomly put itself in saftey mode for no reason&a few weeks ago I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane going the 65mph speed limit when it suddenly said engine power reduced service stabiltrac again & suddenly dropped my rate of speed to 15 miles to per hour without any pre warning. I barely made it to the next lane and then the shoulder and came so close to getting into a major accident I was so shaken. I let my car sit for a minute&like it always does it went right back to being fine. I took it back to the chevy dealer who said there was nothing wrong with it (after a $200 bill to look at it) the next day it did it again this time on a highway where the speed limit was 55 mph. I was so shaken up with my little guys in the car that I contacted the chevy corp who at first said they were aware there was a problem with some 08 & newer Tahoes like this then when I asked them to fix mine they recanted their story saying they never heard of this problem. I decided to research it myself and have found hundreds and hundreds of posts&forums of people saying the exact same thing. Which is why I am contacting you, if this is happening in many chevy/GMC cars w/stabilitrac this is soooo dangerous. To have your car suddenly reduce power to 10-15 miles per hour (with no brake lights or warnings to people behind you) is extremely dangerous.
After driving approx 3 miles, my "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", abs light, check engine light all came on, simultaniously. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlined, my power locks, "locked and unlocked" . When the transmission shifted, the whole Tahoe jerked. When I arrived at my destination approx 3 miles further and turned the engine off, attempted to re start and it wont start. This is the fourth time this has happened in two weeks. I have taken to a chevy dealer twice to diagnose. Both times they said they cannot find the cause, and all they can do is reset the error codes.
I was stopped at a red light and as I took off the stabilitrack said it need to be serviced and the engine power was reduced. Took to shop and they reset the computer and everything seemed fine. Now 4 days later I was in the car wash parked with the car running while I was vacuuming and lost all power and stabilitrack did the same thing. After waiting 10 minutes or so I was able to start the vehicle and drive it to the shop again. They said it is a common problem and it doesn't have a true "fix" at this point.
As I was driving down the interstate at a controlled speed of 70mph I suddenly noticed the stability and traction icon came on and off every 2 or 3 minutes. As this happened I felt my engine lose power and the steering wheel locked up for a few seconds. This is now happening every day I drive to work or anywhere I drive over 55mph. I have a 4 month old son and I am petrified at would could happen if this does not get recalled or fixed. I have read that service centers can not fix this.
While driving, the electronic traction control and stability control shuts off and a warning appears on the dash. After driving a few miles the stability control comes back on for a short time and then goes off again. While driving the stability control may shut off intermittently several times. When the stability control goes off the transmission shifts very rough. The vehicle has been take to 2 Chevrolet dealers at total of 3 times. Each time they check the codes and reset the computer but the intermittent stability control and traction control problems return a few days later.
I was at a stop light, and the problem happened unexpectedly when I pressed on the gas when the light turned green. My car moved forward just slightly, jerked hard to a complete stop, and it wouldn't drive anymore. I was able to get pushed to the side in neutral, but needed a tow to the dealer. The only working gears were r, 3, 2, and 1. Bringing it into the dealer, they confirmed there was a problem with the transmission. I had done some research when this happened and noticed that a lot of people had the same problem, all in the same type of scenario where they were at a complete stop. Second issue, not nearly as major is the stabilitrak. The light goes on and off constantly, pretty much from the first year I've had the car. And lastly, the interior chrome door handles have all peeled off and cut me and my passengers several times. The exterior door handles have come loose, the fuel pocket is completely broken, and after a heavy rain, water gets trapped inside the shell of the back door and sloshes around while I'm driving. I have to remove the bottom lining of the door for the trapped water to be released.
This is about the 10th time this has happened. . . Stability track comes on- reduces engine power. . . Dealership finally changed the the throttle body in June of 2011. . . Not going to believe this- but it has started back up December of 2011. . . Not a happy camper. This is so dangerous. Like Toyota vehicles accelerating this does the opposite . . It decreases acceleration. You have to get off the highway put your flashes on -shut vehicle off and try to call someone for assistance. I plan to get rid of this vehicle. Please notify all owners before it causes major problems. Again, very dangerous. . . Not sure what is causing this issue, internet claims bad gas. . . I just know its awful to be in this situation. . .
My "stabilitrak off", "traction control off", abs light, check engine light all came on. My speedometer and other gauges started swinging from left to right and then flatlining, my power locks, "locked and unlocked" on their own. This happened repetitively as I was driving. I have owned my 2007 chevy Tahoe for 18 months and this has occurred 4-5 times, twice in the first 12 months. I have taken to a chevy dealer twice to diagnose and repair the problem but they haven't been able to diagnose problem.
There is a misfire and stabiltrac light that comes and goes intermittent the dealer don't know what's wrong I've changed out electrical parts all over the truck still cant find. Battery issues from beginning of trucks purchase now I drive today and have water leaking in the doors so much that fill up and spill inside. . I've learned that gm really doesn't care about their customer and its really sad seeing this is my third Tahoe and impala ss,, really thinking Toyota is gonna get my business unless gm can make things right for their customer.
There have been repeated occurrences - both upon starting vehicle and when driving - where the check engine light will come on, followed by "service stabilitrak" "service traction control" and "engine power reduced", accompanied by very rough engine noise and the inability to go above 45 mph. Very dangerous when it happens on a freeway. After vehicles sits for an hour or so, normal engine function is restored. Dealer has replaced accelerator pedal a few times, but has no explanation for problem.
