1 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2020

First the seat belt warning light come on then the seat belt light goes off then traction light/stabilitak comes on lose power on highway now a rubbing sound on driver side.

2 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 10/08/2020

The traction control goes out randomly and I lose my power steering and all my functions of my car randomly and I have to pull over to turn it off when I'm driving to get it to go back to normal once I restart it it's fine. But it does it randomly for no reason and it's very dangerous because I can't use my steering or pedals or anything. It all stops working until I stop and turn it off then back on. I think it's the throttle body that's causing it but not sure it says online it's a common issue but doesn't say why or what to do. I need it to get fix because I am afraid it'll cause me to get in a wreck.

3 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2020

Without warning the vehicle loses power and shuts down. The check engine light comes on. When I shut the car off and wait a minute it will start up again with no problem. When I've tried to get a program reading from a repair shop, they were unable to do so because the check engine light had reset itself and no reading was available. At other times the car wouldn't start at all. . . And I have recently replaced the battery.

4 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2020

I was going down the interstate and the stabilitrak, traction control, check engine lights all came on. Engine reduced power light came on I lost all power of the vehicle, I was in heavy traffic and forced off of the road because my engine died. I went from doing 70 mph down to 10 mph and came very close to getting rear ended by a semi truck and trailer. When I got to the shoulder of the road I wasn't able to get my vehicle started back and had to call a tow truck. This has happened on multiple occasions. I have seen where this is a problem in this year model of this vehicle and wondering why it hasn't been recalled yet by the manufacturer before someone loses there life.

5 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/03/2020

While driving on the highway at 65 mph the stability control sensor, abs sensor, and all wheel drive went out all at once, when that happened the car by itself went to 35 mph on the highway and would not allow the car to go over 35 mph.

6 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2020

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.

7 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2020

Please associated this complaint with tracking #11352061. I wanted to provide an additional pictures. I've watched and read a recall regarding these issues with several Chevrolet models over the years and over 1. 37 million vehicles were recalled. I believe this should be a recall. Attached is the code associated with the problem. Again I own a 2014 chevy Traverse lt warnings have come up twice in 1 week.

8 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2020

Just bought this used 2014 chevy Traverse with 89k on it and not even to the first oil change and the traction control off/service stabilitrak came on. Code said ita the brake pedal position sensor. Replaced that and calibrated it and did not fix problem. Shop said I need to replace whole brake pedal. This repair wouldn't fix the slight hesitation the car has when excelerating. I seen many forums that this could be many things which will be real expenses to keep trying before one work. This is a horrible way to treat people who buy the car that's states error messages that cannot even narrow it down.

9 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/21/2020

While driving along at highway speeds unexpectedly get error messages, service traction control, service stabilitrak, traction control is off, engine power is reduced. Now instead of reducing engine to 3 cylinders the engine is completely turned off. This is very dangerous if this happens in highway traffic as there is no power to maneuver the car onto the shoulder. I have been told by Chevrolet repair center that this is due to a short in the electrical system. Not sure if this is related to NHTSA campaign 14v614000. 0.

10 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2020

Driving on the expressway and the following happened; reduced engine power, service stabiltrack, service traction control warning lights came on while driving at approximately 70mph. The vehicle almost came to a dead stop with traffic behind me along and with opposing traffic. I engaged the vehicle in neutral and coasted to the shoulder with my hazards on. I tried to remain calm with my family in the car since it was almost life or death, I searched the web for an answer and I found that if I turn the car off for a few minutes it would go away, I did that and the issue went away for the time being but it has also reoccurred numerous times since then.

11 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2020

Very hard to steer same as complaint in picture.

12 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2020

My wife was driving with our three children traveling approximately 60 mph. Her 2014 Chevrolet Traverse suddenly dropped to approximately 5-10 mph and she was forced to swerve off the road, nearly being rear-ended and seriously injured or killed. The check engine light came on, as well as, the engine power reduced light. Just as she made it to the shoulder of the road, the car shut off completely. She tried multiple times to start the car, but had no success. After about 30 minutes of being stranded on the shoulder of the road with my three children, she was able to start the car and drive to the nearest area to safely wait for a tow truck. This is the third time this has happened within the last five months! we have taken it to several different mechanics, including the Chevrolet dealer, and spent a lot of money trying to get it resolved but have had no success. We will no longer put our children in the car which was the reason we purchased it in the first place. This car is unreliable and unsafe and needs to be issued a recall. My entire family was almost killed or seriously injured because of this default in this vehicle.

13 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 05/27/2020

As I'm driving the check engine comes on, then the truck starts to lose acceleration, then it starts flashing stabiltrak off, traction control off and then it completely shut off! this is the 10th time this has happened within a year!! have tried many small fixes and nothing works.

14 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2020

Was a recall on some power steering pumps and faulty electrical systems in the 2014 chevy Traverse. Car making loud noise when turn wheel. Problem just diagnosed by mechanic. See my VIN not included in recall. Very dangerous. Found because turning the wheel has become difficult and it sounds like engine strained.

15 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2020

My electronic stability control comes on and off its loose. I push it back in pops out. The tcm female connector/adaptor is faulty and I was told I would have to buy a completely new harness which is ridiculous. The locking mechanism doesn't hold in place so it loses connection to the tcm trans module. And when I contact my local chevy dealer they want me to but a new harness which I $600+++ and the clip/adapter/connector is $22-$29. If im on the freeway my speed can drop to 20mph. On the 215 freeway.

16 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2020

Was at a traffic light near my job when my car suddenly shuts off, never happened before so as I try to restart it wouldn't start at all. I caused a lot of traffic due to this. Living in nyc that's a big no no. As I looked on the dash while keep trying to get it to start different light started to come on the car was going out of wack. Finally a food cart guy seen me and helped me out by jumping my car with his food cart battery talk about embrassing Chevrolet needs to deal with this problem, never knew it was a common issue until I google and this problem happen to many people but yet there's no recalls. I am very disappointed and makes me want to give this car back.

17 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2020

After making a right turn while driving in traffic in a school zone traction control went off then on check engine light went on service stabilitrak flashed engine power is reduced flashed had to pull over and restart car, engine light remained on ecm was replaced less than 3 yrs ago for the same thing at ed morse sawgrass in sunrise, FL.

18 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2020

My 2014 chevy Traverse has been having this issue for months now. I will be driving and my service stabilitrak, traction control off, check engine light will light up, and engine power reduced will pop up. I can not go over 20 mph. At times the engine will become very stally, jerky, my steering wheel and brakes will be very hard to use. These are very random and non patterned I will have to safely pull over rather it be on a back road or a highway wherever it happens turn the engine off for 5-20 minutes and it will eventually clear everything but the check engine light; which will clear within that day or the next until the next time it happens. It has also cause my key to lock up in the ignition. This is very unsafe and scary. This is my family car and will eventually cause an accident and hurt myself, my kids, or someone else. If you google the issue there are tons of forums, websites, blogs that have the same issue with this car. I have spent numerous hours investigating the issue, lots of money replacing parts as recommended or by the check engine light and it continues to do this. Gm is going to have a lawsuit on their hands when someone gets seriously hurt over this issue because they are not doing anything about it.

19 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 12/31/2019

2014 Traverse will suddenly shut down and not move. Flashes service stabilitrac, traction control off, reduced engine power. My vehicle has shut down multiple times including driving on the freeway with my two children in the car. After turning the car off and finally being able to turn it back on again, I am able to get the traction control to say on and to move my car. This last time the steering wheel locked up and my car wouldn't start for almost 10 minutes, with me and my children sitting in the middle of an intersection.

20 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2019

The stabilitrak service warning flashes. When this happens, it reduces the power of the engine causing the vehicle to shut down. This only happens when the car is in motion and now it won't start at all.

21 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2019

My vehicle will first stall and slow down with �engine power reduced� and something about the traction control and stability track going across the dash right before my vehicle stops on me. This happens frequently at any moment and now I am unable to start it back up. I was told by pep boys that it is an electrical problem, with codes reading a shortage in the fuse box. I checked the web for any recalls and saw that others were having the same issues, yet no recalls. This is dangerous because my vehicle stops at any moment in the middle of a drive, even on the highway. Now I am without reliable transportation in my 2014 Traverse. I love my vehicle, but gm needs to fix this issue.

22 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2019

Driving the kids to school and the vehicle just cut off on the interstate and the traction control turned off. I was able to catch the exit and make it to the side. It would not start. It finally started and I was able to go two miles where it cut off again, holding up morning school and work traffic on the two lane road. There was no shoulder to pull off to. I just read where there was an issue with a short in the electrical system that causes the car to just shut off. I put my VIN number in the recall database to see what to do and it tells me my car is not on the recall list. This is dangerous and I fear for my family knowing these types of issues exist.

23 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2019

While driving at 45mph the vehicle completely shut off, the gauge cluster went crazy stating "stabilytrack" "reduced engine power" check engine came on and notices temp. Guage also went up from 210 to 215 slighty when I put in park and restarted vehicle restarted with no problem I drove to mechanic shop with no issue 4 miles away and when I arrived to shop I turned vehicle off and when mechanic returned to check engine error none was found or recorded this is the secon time it happens?.

24 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 09/28/2019

I was driving along the highway and the car beeped and went into low engine power and died. I was able to steer to the side of the road, but had no power. This has happened 10 times. The first few times I was able to turn the car off and then back on again and it was fine. 3 times ago, the car died and wouldn't not turn over. A wrecker was called. We have had this vehicle in the shop 8 times in 2019 for this issue.

25 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2019

Engine power comes up low power and I just brought a new battery which I know that not it. The car will throttle and then I can only go up to 20 miles per an hour and it's hard to steer. I will have to stop the car for twenty minutes and it will start back up with the engine light on. This is very dangerous to take on the highway or even drive especially I have kids in my car. What can I do???.

26 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2019

Mi auto se apaga tanto en carretera como en la ciudad esto empez� hace un mes, despu's DE apagarse se ilumina la se�al DE antibloqueo y la luz del motor, baja la potencia y tengo que aparcar y esperar para volverlo a prender se textea y sale un codigo generico DE Chevrolet p1682 , esto esta pasando seguidamente poniendo en riesgo la vida DE mi familia y la m�a propia.

27 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2019

I'll be accelerating and my car will just jerk into gear as if it's having trouble shifting. The vehicle will also stall out when driving on the highway or in town, lose power and ding and the �service stabilitrack� alert comes on the dash. I have driven it straight to the dealership on several occasions and the vehicle doesn't throw a code and they can never duplicate the problem. After doing some research, I've learned that I'm not the only one with this problem and it been going on for some time. This is my first chevy and I will never purchase another. I love everything about this vehicle except for the issues I've had not being resolved. I will go back to Toyota after this. Very disappointing. I've owned the vehicle for 4 years and this error has occurred over 30 times. Unbelievable. The car will also jerk into gear when the vehicle slows for a curve or a vehicle in front of me is slowing and when I accelerate after passing the car jerks into gear.

28 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2019

Intermittent check engine light reduced power, stabilitrac failure, and traction control failure even at high speeds or while vehicle in motion in city and on highway causing engine to stall out losing power-steering and power. Once vehicle is stopped and key is removed from ignition, engine restarts normally with normal vehicle operation but problem is recurring -- potential danger for accident and injury high.

29 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2019

A life and safety issue! with no warning the vehicle will suddenly shut off. It does not matter if you're moving on the freeway or parked, it is very intermittent and only happened three times in the last 6 to 8 weeks. Two different mechanics said error it's code p1682 is the fault but it will not duplicate the symptoms. I contacted chevy corporate and they knowledge other vehicles this year have a recall but claim mice VIN number is not affected and will do nothing. Hey fuel vehicle is in safe and do not want my family in it until I am certain it will not suddenly shut off while they are in motion.

30 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2019

It has been probably 10 times or so that my vehicle has had the stability track engine reduce power come on. I am usually driving on the freeway and then out of the blue this happens. I have to try and get over to the shoulder so that I do not get ran over as I have no power to keep going. I can usually turn off the engine and then it will start back up but the check engine light stays on. I have done some research and 2014 Traverse were under recall # 14v614000. Called gm and they told me that mine was not under this recall. The recall should pertain to all 2024 Traverses as the recall states it is 2014 models that are having this issue. I am still paying for a vehicle that we cannot even drive. Someone needs to step up and do something about this, before some is hurt.

31 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2019

It's happened more times than I can count. Definitely over 10. I'm driving my Traverse, on the highway or in town, and then my car goes crazy. Bells begin to ding and dash lights come on. The info center tells me to service stabiltrack and then I get a reduced engine power warning and I cannot go over 25 mph. I pull off the road or off the side of the highway, turn on my hazard lights and shut off my car. After a few minutes I turn my car back on and everything seems fine but the engine light stays on. It's done this with every driver in my family. I'm absolutely heartbroken. My family has been loyal gmac customers since before I was born and I was proud to keep up the tradition but this car has made me look at other car manufacturers. My 2004 GMC envoy is more reliable than this car. This is our family vehicle and we are considering renting a car for a 800 mile trip I need to take next week for a funeral. After doing research I have discovered that gm is and has been aware of this problem for quite awhile and has done nothing to fix it. Numerous people have thrown good money down the drain to try to fix it with no success. It's time for gm to do something about this or they are endanger of losing plenty of loyal customers and future customers. Shame on you gm for putting money in your pockets over the safety and satisfaction of thousands of customers.

32 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2019

On a busy interstate, vehicle lost power and service stabili trak indicator came on. Third time this has hapoened. Was able to creep to shoulder at 20 mph. Shut engine off and power and acceleration came back up with check engine light on. Is this a known safety issue with an active recall? vehicle has 89,500 miles and is out of warranty.

33 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 06/24/2019

I was entering the on-ramp going east and my vehicle completely stopped. I was going around 25-30 mph and I had my kids in the car. My computer forced my brakes and I was unable to drive the vehicle. My SUV literally made a full stop while driving at 25-30 mph with my kids in the car and no brake lights ignited. The check engine light and the traction control light came on. They eventually turned off. This happened one other time. I was driving on a residental street and the vehicle stopped again. My husband whom was driving the car said the car just stopped in the middle of the intersection. He tried pressing the traction control button because the check engine light and the traction control light came on and the brakes were forced again and nothing. Imagine going 25mph and stopping abruptly without brake lights for other cars to see. This time I did research and I saw that other 2014 chevy Traverses were recalled for the chassis module (recall number 14v614000). I saw youtube videos and I checked several consumer the complaint websites and I literally saw over 10 other complaints about the same issue this month! I also put a reader in my vehicle and the two codes that come up is p16aa & p1682. One is for the electronic module system in which the chassis (pertaining to the recall) is listed under). I called the dealer and they said that the recall was active for 2014 chevy Traverses. . . . . But not mine! I am completely disgusted. These vehicles will kill you - literally and they know it, and they refuse to do anything about it! now I'm paying a car note and I can't even drive it - for the safety of my family, others, and myself. Shame on them - again this is happening to other people! this is a urgent request for help!.

34 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle suddenly jerked and stalled. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and pulled over to the side of the road. When the vehicle was restarted, the contact heard a revving sound coming from the vehicle and it began to shake. The contact stated that the engine power reduced and traction control warning indicators illuminated. After pulling over to the side of the road, the contact turned the vehicle back off and waited a few minutes before they were able to turn the vehicle back on with no warning indicators illuminated. The failure occurred a total of four times. During the fourth failure, the service stabilitrak indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, but they could not diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The manufacturer provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.

35 Electronic Stability Control problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

Driving and car is very slow to accelerate. Stabillink warning and abs lightly are on. Take it to the dealer and they tell me it's the accelerator pedal sensor, so I have it replaced, along with a cleaning of my throttle body. Car is continuing to slowly accelorate, making it dangerous to drive and I am a single mom with 4 kids ages 11 and under, it's so frustrating. This seems to be an ongoing issue with these cars and gm is doing nothing to recall them, someone is going to get killed driving on the expressway is the most dangerous, as the vehicle takes so much time to accelerate up to a normal speed.
