Stabilitrak continues to pop up affecting sed etc I have already spent over $2000 replacing parts and it continues.
Traction control/stabilink system does not work properly. Vehicle will lose power while accelerating. There is a grinding noise which slowes the vehicle down. This happens each time the vehicle is driven. This is very dangerous when pulling out into traffic or onto highways where others are traveling at fast rate of speed. I see many complaints on the web when researching 2010 chevy Traverse for problems. The VIN number of my vehicle is not included in recall but symptoms are the same as vehicles that were recalled.
I purchased this vehicle as a gm certified used vehicle in late December 2010. Nov26'11 @ 37,395 miles the front brake pads were replaced and the front brake rotors were resurfaced. In may 2012, I was rear ended at stop light and a couple of days later, I started experiencing shaking when applying the brakes and was told it was a maintenance issue when taken in for repair. Jun15'12 the front brake rotors were replaced. Nov30'12 vehicle taken in for service once more with same complaint of shaking when applying brakes or when coasting - front disc brake pads were replaced and front brake rotors were resurfaced. It is now may'13 (52k mi) and I am experiencing the same issues once more, however the shaking is much worse to the point it feels as if the front wheels will come off while braking. I contacted dealer to get service history, and found that this issue was present before I purchased the car.
The tire pressure sensors for the front and rear tires are reversed. For example, the warning light has been telling me for a week that the front right tire pressure is low (psi 15 or less). I have put air in the front right tire multiple times trying to fix the problem identified by the warning light, and the tire gauge would read above 35. I thought the sensor was reading incorrectly until I noticed the rear right tire was low. Once I put air in the rear right tire, the reading for the front right tire went from 9 psi to 36 psi.
