Car stalls while driving very abruptly. Reduce engine power and service stablitrak comes on. Then traction control warning lights flash. Very very dangerous. Happen while driving car begins to shake violently. Engine light remains on. Happening too often had the same issue with my 2007 chevy equinox. No way this should not be recalled it's definitely a known issue.
1st time vehicle on highway. Lost engine power . . . Engine light and stability light came on. Cycled through error codes reduced engine power, service stability track, traction control off. Code p16820. 2nd time it happened at a stop light. Car will not go more than 10 miles an hour. Engine runs choppy like it's going to stall. After car was shut off overnight, it reset and ran normal except engine light stays on. Dealer can't find any issue. Can't recreate. See on youtube that this has happened to many others. There should be a recall!!! dangerous especially for a family car. People buy Traverse's when they have children!!!! please recall!!!.
While driving this car I will get three audible "bongs" then I will get error messages "service stabilitrak", traction control off", engine power reduced". At this time I have no control over the speed of this vehicle. I can depress the gas pedal and get an increase in engine rpm but no more forward speed (mph). My forward speed will continue to decrease. I will have to pull off the road and turn the engine off. Wait two or three minutes then restart the engine. If I am lucky the vehicle will operate normally but will display a service light on the dash board. This vehicle is dangerous. I have contacted my auto dealer and parts were installed. I asked about the cause of this predicament and the service manager said the same situation could be caused by a hundred different sensors in the vehicle. I now have the same problem with this vehicle. 17k miles and 12 months later. Again; this vehicle is dangerous. If this happens while passing another vehicle on a country road or if these errors occur while driving down an on ramp to hi-way traffic the danger increase. I understand the need for error messages to warn of engine problems but the control of forward speed should not be taken away from the driver.
I was driving this vehicle and instantly all power was cut off. When I came to a stop I put the vehicle in park and tried to start only to have failed to start quite a few times. After a minute of sitting, the car started again. The car stalled a few more times after on the way home. The dash said stabilitrak needs to be serviced and the engine power was reduced. This could really cause an accident! this problem seem to happen when I was slowing down or coming to a stop.
