general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse - part 2

While exiting the freeway 6/1/2019, on the off ramp luckily, my 2014 chevy Traverse's lights start coming service stabilitrak, traction control off, service traction control, power engine reduced and the car slows down and starts jerking. I get stopped at the end of the ramp and can't get the vehicle to start moving again. Turned on my hazards and shut off the vehicle and turned it on and off several times. Finally, all the lights go off and my vehicle started moving normally again but the check engine light was on and stayed on. After several hours the check engine light went off. Taking into my mechanic to see what the problem could be but it looks like this is common on the 2014 and may not have a solution. This is really frustrating especially after only having this vehicle for 8 1/2 months! should have some kind of recall out there.

Six times now , I have been driving and the stabilitrack alert goes off and then it cuts down my engine power and I couldn't go over 20-25 mph. Two of these times I was on a major highway with my three children . All other incidents happened while driving down city streets. I pulled over, turned off the vehicle for a few minutes , restarted it and the engine light comes and stays on. My husband looked it up online after the first incident and saw that it could be the throttle body sensor and replaced it. Obviously that didn't help because it happened again so we took it to get diagnosed when the engine light was still on and it said that the ignition switch needed replacing. My husband replaced that about 3 weeks ago . Two days ago , I started my car and it sputtered and died . I turned it back on after a couple of minutes and my check engine light was on so we took it back in to get diagnosed . Threw the same code saying the ignition switch needed replacing. All of this has happened within the past 10 months. I can not afford to keep throwing on random parts that aren't fixing the issue nor should I have to . This is obviously a well known issue with this make and model and needs to be resolved before someone seriously gets hurt. I cannot even drive the 20 minutes to my job without worrying whether or not I'm going to get there safely and without having to pull off the highway because my vehicle loses power . I was very excited to purchase a Traverse as I had wanted one for quite some time but now I'm very frustrated and angry about it. I'm even more frustrated with gm and their lack of response to the severity of this problem.

I was driving on the highway when the car started losing power! as I hit the gas petal it would putt putt as if it wasn't getting any gas. I lost complete power at red light, had to turn the switch all the way down then back up then the car slowly winded up as if it didn't want to start so I had to give it a little gas then it cranked up on the dash board you can see the rpm going up and down as if it wanting to shut off!.

Out of the blue, while driving my 2014 chevy Traverse, it started acting sluggish, "traction control light came on, "service stabilitrack error came up on dash, cruise control wouldn't work. I was on a freeway and scared to death. It wouldn't speed up and kept jerking to not go faster. Onstar registered that it was a problem with traction control. If many are having this issue with this SUV, why hasn't there been a recall? this was very dangerous. I didn't know if it would make it home.

My car keeps dying for no reason. It has a reading of low engine lower and traction control system needing service. They car just shuts off in the middle of the road. My vehicle went from 70 to 30 mph on the highway.

Fuse box-! with no warning, a system was triggered to drop engine power dramatically plunging from 65 to below 20. This happened to me 2 times on a major highway surrounded by trucks endangering my family as I could not climb above 20mph and had to scramble to get over and not be a hazard. While the dealer initially couldn't find the problem- chevy mechanics told them to check for a specific tripped fuse- that ruins the whole box. The problem is so prevalent- the part is indefinitely on back order. This is a potentially deadly situation.

I recently had my 2014 chevy Traverse in to my mechanic for maintenance, as I do when needed. After maintenance was performed, I picked my vehicle up and it drove just fine for five maybe ten miles, no issues. I was on the highway and suddenly the "service stabilitrak", "traction control off", and "service traction control" messages began flashing. Immediately after, my vehicle began jerking profusely as I was driving - it slowed the speed, and eventually quit. The messages were still there. A few more miles down the road, it began jerking again. I don't know what is going on with it but I took it back to my mechanic and he's had it since then (this was days ago) and he's having a hard time pinpointing the issue. However, I see many other Traverse owners whom are experiencing the same dangerous issue, with no resolve. My vehicle has up to this point been reliable and I thought safe, however, this issue is not safe. I have a job that I need to get back and forth from and two small children that I need to transport safely. This issue with my Traverse is beyond dangerous. My Traverse has 85,000 miles on it. Really disappointed.

This past Friday, I was traveling in the highway at 60mph then the car starts beeping, with immediate loss of power within seconds, down to 20mph. Error messages start flashing, the car starts shaking. Almost got hit by the person behind me as I wasn't braking, so they, nor myself, had no indication my car was about come down to a crawl. I pulled over, turned off the car, gave it a minute, restarted, and the car was back to normal and I was able to get home. The engine light remained, but it went away before I could get it to the dealer (within 3 miles), dealer is around 8 miles away. This is the 4th incident with this similar issue. Once we were waiting on a turning lane, the car started beeping, shaking, displaying errors on the dashboard, loss of power again to a crawl. We pulled over to the first parking lot in the intersection. Turned of the car, restarted and it was fine again. Then again right after putting gas. Got into the car to leave the gas station, car was beeping, shaking, displaying error messages on the dash. Turned it off, restarted and it was fine. Another time, I was approaching a light to make a right turn, the engine stalled right before I was to turn. I had to put it on part to restart the car, once it started, it ran fine. I'm afraid to drive the car in the highway. I have a 45 minute commute to work everyday. I always have to keep to the right lane in case the car acts up. The error messages that display are "service stability tract, engine power reduced, tracking control turned off" and maybe one other one. I've seen the message boards and it's happening to many owners and for several years! it is dangerous to drive like this. This should have been addressed years ago.

C0242,p1682. While driving the stability control turns off reduced engine power and the vehicle turns off leaving you no way to stream the vehicle . This happens at all speeds and in park. This happens everyone the vehicle is driven.

While driving the car, it happens to loose power and it is very difficult to wheel and move the car . It stops in the middle of the freeway and service traction control comes up , then service stabilitytrak and then traction control off . It has to be turned off and then wait and restart it again , with a check engine.

While driving, car slows to 25mph and dash flashes between the following warnings: service stabilitrak, traction control off, service traction control, power engine reduced. The check engine light and traction control light also turn on at this time . This has happened 5 times so far. I have been driving on the highway and on side streets when this happens. This is very dangerous and could cause an accident easily.

Driving to work out of know where all my lights come on, not shifting right, jerk's back and forward when u hit 200rpm, my breaks are not working right since this happen, there is a sound coming from the rear end of the car, we have owned the SUV for a year, every three to for months it goes to the shop for the oil change and routine check.

On December 21st coming home from work merging on to the expressway sibility traction control comes across my dashboard then reduced power comes on vehicle start losing power almost caused a serious accident trying to merge on to the expressway I have never witnessed or experience a vehicle do that this is something that needs a serious recall on before for some one dies if it ain't already happen. December 22nd 2018 stop at a four way and the stability traction control comes across the dashboard again but this time the vehicle shuts all the way off I restarted it and it read reduced power its stability traction control across the dashboard and I could not pick up any power just like last time plus I purchase the vehicle on December 1st 2018 once again this is a serious issue it doesn't happen six times already but it started having those problems on December 2nd but on December 21st my life was on the line.

The car has started to do a shimmy and then the car completely turns off and won't start again. There is always gas in the car, and the oil is changed regularly. The car has been taken to a local repair shop to address the issue. I was told that there is a small electrical connection box under the gas tank that was filled with dirt and getting poor contact. The small box was cleaned out and electric conductive gel was used. The car didn't have a problem for about 9 days and then it started to do the same thing as before. It has turned off mostly when the vehicle is moving. The latest time this happened was 11/6/2018.

My 15 year old daughter (permit driver) driving to school for extra community service hours (on a Sunday) and the car started to shake and not accelerate, the traction control, check stability control flashing. Very dangerous situation for a 15 year old driver. We pulled over and I took the wheel, same thing happened, we barely made it back home. Also, airbag light comes on randomly, had this serviced due to recall and the problem has started again. Frustrated mom.

My wife has a 2014 chevy Traverse with 60,000. The traction control and stabilitrack warnings came on the dashboard. This happened 3 times in four weeks. Once the power was reduced and the car would not accelerate. We were on a city street with light traffic and once the car stopped completely. Thank god she was in a parking lot when it happened. I have taken it to the dealer each time we get the messages. The said that they could not find anything wrong and come back if it happens again. The changed a fuse on the last visit. It has happened again and it is in the shop right now.

I was driving on the interstate at around 70mph and my Traverse started shaking like there was trash in my fuel pump. Then I get a message that my traction control isn't working. Then my Traverse loses speed (and we almost get hit) and the vehicle will only go 20mph. I made it off the interstate and the dash read stabilitrak, service traction control, engine power reduced. It is now at the local chevy dealership as it is under a carmax extended warranty. When the tow truck came he could not even get it to crank and he thought it was out of gas (no. 100 miles to e) the vehicle has approximately 64000 miles on it and has been regularly serviced. I am thankful my children and I were not killed when we lost power. This is an extremely dangerous problem and unacceptable.

While driving at pretty much any speed at random, the car starts shaking and the service traction control and service stabilitrak lights start flashing. Sometimes it goes away right away, other times the car needs to be turned off and will go away after a few minutes. Vehicle has been in the shop multiple times for the same issue and the dealer states they cannot recreate the problem.

Service stabilitrak and traction control off light comes on when driving and car speed decreases and the car jerks. I have taken it to get fixed several times and shortly after each time the same thing happens again. Been happening since Aug 2018.

Was driving on highway all of a sudden car starts shaking and slows down push on gas can barely go over 35 service light come on for stability trax service stability trak get to a safe place of the highway and turns car off turn car back on still says stability trax engine almost seems like it will cut off pressing on gas with full tank and car barely moving car slowed down dramatically when it first happen could have caused an accident went home read to turn car off wait a while and see if lservice light would come on went away took to a mechanic even though it doesn't say fix the service stability trax had a friend run codes by doing an diagnostic test came up thru diagnostic test to take to dealer and have them fix it. But doesn't flash anymore about stability trac right window will not roll up passenger window.

Vehicle has lost all power on 2 separate occasions within 2 years. The first event was on a highway at 75 mph in 2018 and the second time at a busy intersection where the speed is 45mph in 2020. Once power is lost , brakes and steering do not work. Each time the vehicle was towed to a repair shop for repairs which included replacing the fuse box and providing better bolts to hold it securely in place.

Driving on freeway, warning lights came on with error �service traction control� and �engine power reduced�. Emergency flashers would not come on. Barely able to limp to the side of the freeway with cars honking and swerving around vehicle. Traverse has 40,000 miles on it. Has had same issue except this time while parked. Turn truck off and restarts fine. Both incidents within a month of buying vehicle used. Took vehicle to carmax, oxnard, CA, 93036 where we have extended warranty. They were not able to replicate the issue and returned vehicle. This was after the first time it happened. In carmax 8/9/2018.

The vehicle will all of a sudden go into low engine power mode, traction stability turns on and it limps - dealership states they can not recreate issue so can not fix. Several times to dealership each time they can not fix and it is running fine. All of the internet same problem with same vehicle. This is a huge safety issues as it has occured on the highway and an intersection before. It is very dangerous. The vehilce is not operatable during the eposide. You stop the vehile let it sit for a brief minute and it will start up and drive normal. When it happen this morning on the freeway it was very dangerous as it cause a stopage on the freeway in rush hour traffic and limping to the side at 5mph is scarry crossing lanes. This is a know issue and the company is not doing anything about it. Please help!!!!!!.

2014 chevy Traverse engine, traction control, stabilitrak: vehicle dash says "reduced engine power" and shuts the engine off while I'm still driving and in traffic. This occurred while I was crossing a busy side street, on 2 state roads, and other places. After turning off the engine for 30 seconds or so, I can restart it the vehicle and continue until it occurs again. I've taken it to the dealership twice. The pcm was replaced the first time after 3 days of keeping the vehicle. The second time, it was kept over a week and the pcm was replaced again. The same issue occured within 24 hours and has repeated several times.

Vehicle stopped working as I was driving reduced power speed service stability track trash control service that's what popped up.

Highway speed, hit moderate pothole and received multiple error messages in the display "engine power reduced" "service stabilitrak" "service traction control". Engine barely running/running rough. Brakes have no power assist. Vehicle struggling to maintain 20mph and hard to get off the freeway. Appeared to be complete ecu malfunction. Had to abandon car in a public parking lot and have someone pick us up. Vehicle was towed to local dealership and yet they can find no fault codes, thus releasing the car with no work performed. .

Recall (14007) repair was supposedly done may 2014 at jeff gordon Chevrolet in wilmington, nc. Car was put in the shop October 2017 at same place for same problem that prompted a recall, inaccurate fuel gauge reading. Extended warranty covered repair this time. Instrument cluster was replaced and problem fixed, according to jeff gordon Chevrolet. June 27, 2018 - we ran completely out of gas even though fuel gauge showed a quarter of tank remained. Car shut off. Thankfully we were not in motion. We were sitting in a customer's driveway. Jeff gordon Chevrolet will not cover repair, we have been told we are financially responsible. How can an obvious issue that was part of a recall not continue to be covered?.

I was going through a drive-thru, and left the parking lot. When I stopped at a stop sign I heard a chime, and a � traction control off, service traction control, and service stabilitrak� lights came across the screen on the dashboard as well as the traction control light. So I drove back toward my job, and about 3 miles down the road, my car started to shake and the rpms started to go up!, so I started to drive to the dealership I bought it from 3 months ago, and they didn't have any appointments for today, so I left and made an appointment for tomorrow. As I was driving back to work, the car started to shake and decline in speed, this lasted about 2 minuets and then went back to normal, I parked my car at work, and went back in for 4 hours. When I came back out, all the lights were off, and it drove fine home. Hoping that the dealership can fix it, I don't feel safe driving my children in this vehicle any longer! I could have been in a wreck today! I have read this is a common problem with the Traverse! I have also read that it has yet to be fixed, I have two young children, I bought this car for safety for them, and now it could hurt them! this is not the first time this has happened, this is the longest it has lasted. It has happened about 3-5 other times, just a short 5-10 seconds and then back to normal!.

Radio going crazy, horn honk for no reason when you get out of it,low battery blink then go off, check engine light go on , then go off after few minutes, speedometer act like its sticking when acceleration or deceleration, traction control light come on then go off, cruise control on and it reduce speed, tachometer go up as if your speeding up when its sitting still, car is not shifting smooth like it use to, burnt plastic smell, weird gear oil smell, but no signs of leak, and locks unlocking hours after you lock it and alarm is on, it just takes turns doing different things, started couple of weeks ago, so far, they have not figured out what's going on yet, been in shop since Tuesday and it still has warranty for pre certified cars, all these problems happened while driving it on the highway, it start with occasional incident and now its daily, I am concerned the next time instead of slowing the car down that it will just shut off like some of the others have done.

Service stabilitrack/ traction control off display on dashboard while car is in motion. Car will jerk while accelerating and cruise control doesn't work. It will reset and work properly after turning car off for 1-3 min and restarting. It happens periodically on several occasions at various times and on trips of various lengths. There seems to be no pattern or precursor for the malfunction.

Last week when my car was parked, it died. When I got back in, I realized it had died, and tried to start it. When I started it, all of these errors started popping "engine power reduced", "traction control is off", "service stabilitrak". The power was definitely reduced, and I could barely creep along. The car even shook like it was about to die. Then when I was trying to stop the abs breaks came on and off several times. I parked and turned it off then turned it back on after a minute. It was back to normal except the service engine light was on. So I took it to the dealership and had them check it out. They couldn't find anything to fix and said to call again if anything happened again (they did charge the battery). I went and picked it up and drove it 10 miles. I parked and shut it off. When I came back out to start it about 30 minutes later, this time there was an error about the guidelines on the camera system not working and the same stabilitrak error. So I shut it off and started it back up. It seemed to be functional after restarting it. It was okay for a few days until the major errors happened again this morning. I was trying to pull into a parking spot and it did the same thing with the same errors that I first had. It actually went to a total stop and would not move forward at all. I was thankful that I was in a parking lot and not on the highway my children in the car with me. It was so sudden, that if we had been on the highway, I am sure I would have been in an accident. I turned it off and back on and the same thing happened again with the same errors. So I turned it off again and let it sit for a minute and turned it back on. The errors were gone but the service light was on. It seemed functional again. There are tons of similar situations reported online. The dealership is supposed to check it again.

Loses power on high way. Bought car brand new in 2014. Been happening since 2014 and 20 thousand miles. Big safety consern when power is lost lose about 20 mph and the.

Car starts braking and warning on dash traction control off, stabil track keep flashing and car keeps braking and releasing back to speed ,keeps going till you turn it off and it resets itself . It happens at any speed and any weather city street and highway that realy is scary becuse you can get rear ended. By the car behind you. Hope you can help. Ithas hapened at least 5 times in the last 6 months.

On major highway, then on city street both times engine light and traction control light flash along with the vehicle hesitating, not wanting to accelerate/shaking.

On more that one occasion but most recently on 03/16/2018 I have driving my vehicle and I get the first message of, "service stabilitract". The next message is, "traction control off". It is then following by, "engine power is reduced" and my check engine light comes on. The vehicle then decelerates to 10-20 mph. This has occurred to me twice while on the highway travelling in excess of 60 mph. (not while accelerating). This has occurred while accelerating from 0 mph, 30+ mph, 60+ pmh and decelerating from 60+mph, 30+mph and from 0 to 30 mph. It has occurred while turning a corner, driving in a straight line. The dealership said to bring the vehicle in after an incident without turning off the vehicle. I have not been able to drive the vehicle without ever having to stop and turn off the vehicle. The power steering is almost non-existent after reduced engine power occurs. It feels like it is running on three of the six cylinders and has almost caused me to have an accident. I almost hit a school bus once. The vehicle is at the dealership again for it's second week of diagnostics.
