Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

I was driving and the car shut off on me took it to the dealer and they said the engine is lock because of no oil and check the oil and I do oil change every 3000 miles the was no oil on the ground and no low oil warning on the dash board.

I was driving on the highway and the vehicle shut off while I was driving at 70 mph. Lost power steering and brakes out of no where which is when I noticed the rpms was at 0. After we, by the grace of god, made it to the side of the road safely, we had it towed to a garage where the said the timing chain came off and ruined the engine and that it is a common problem and could be fixed for around $5600. The vehicle has 65k miles and blew up? its a common problem for a vehicle to shut off on the highway and I wasn't warned that this vehicle has this kind of history and gm don't recognize this is a problem!.

I was driving on a highway and my car lost power, it showed "traction control off" and then "service stabilatrack" I was able to coast off the side of the road and the engine shut off and it will not restart. Had to have it towed to a repair shop and waiting to hesr from them.

A number of months ago, while I was driving on the highway all lights on the dashboard went on an a message displaying "reduced power engine" was displayed. At the same time, that is exactly what happened. , the engine power was reduced for few seconds and then everything went back to normal. Months before the described incident, I received a letter from Chevrolet describing this issue and stating about an extended warranty to cover this issue. I went to the dealership and I was I will be charged roughly $150. 00 to detect the issue and, if and only if, certain codes were displayed on the scan, it will be covered by the extended warranty. Since it was expensive I decided to go to another place and the scan for free and obtain the codes. No codes were displayed. Since 4 months ago the engine shutoff while the vehicle is moving, to start the engine is required to stop by any possible way, and restart the engine. Once again, all lights on the dashboard turn and the vehicle completely shutoff. This had happened at least six times in the last 4 months. In all of this incidents I can not tell if the "reduced power engine" message is displayed since the priority is to stop the vehicle. I took the vehicle couple weeks ago to the dealership and I was charged about $150. 00 to diagnose the problem. The feedback from Chevrolet was that nothing was with in the vehicle. It is inconceivable that I was charged that much by Chevrolet to come back with a response that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Chevrolet is well aware (the letter received in the past) there is an issue with the vehicle. Furthermore, the internet is plenty of people describing the same issue with the Traverse. I do not know the parameters of NHTSA to call when should be a recall , but based on the letter that Chevrolet sent, and the multiple complains suggests it might be.

The first incident happened Dec 2015. Driving out of town on the highway and vehicle shut completely off barley missed and oncoming 18 wheeler. Took it to the dealership they informed me that Chevrolet is aware of the problem. They patched the problem. Today 1/27/2017 a year later the same problem. Driving to work and the vehicle shuts off while driving. Called the Chevrolet corporate number when I was telling them what about the vehicle shutting off. Chevrolet corporate customer services male was telling me what the problem may be the engine and telling what the vehicle was doing when the vehicle shut off, how the powertran lock. But they refuse to repair the vehicle telling me that I would have to pay out of pocket. Why, should I have to pay out of pocket when Chevrolet is aware of the problem and the dealership also informed me that Chevrolet is aware of the problem put does not want to do recall on the vehicle. I was explaining the Chevrolet corporate that each time this could have been a fatal car accident. But Chevrolet response was sorry to hear but here is nothing we can do.
