I was driving along the highway way at 60-65 mph when suddenly service traction control came on and vehicle started jerking and slowing down. As I tried to accelerate it continued to jerk and then just shut off completely. I hit the guard rail/ jersey wall on the drivers side because I had no control of the vehicle due to the vehicle shutting down. Upon taking it to the dealer after getting it home they stated it could be the junction box which is a known issue but they don’t see anything wrong with it and can’t duplicate the problem. I’ve contacted various mechanics and get that it’s an electrical issue that Chevrolet is aware of but refuses to place a recall for it. I could have gotten seriously injured if not killed by this problem and safety issue.

Multiple issues have occurred with this vehicle. I have had major unsafe issues while driving while on the freeway and streets where my vehicle reads traction control off and engine power reduced which leads my vehicle to lose all power and shut down being stranded and almost hit multiple times while by myself and while my husband and children are present. I believe I am the second or third owner of this vehicle and I was never given any information about any recalls.

This has happened three times . First time I was driving my vehicle on the street and randomly turned off . The second time this happened I was driving on the freeway at 66 mph & it randomly turned off and the speed was reduced on seconds. This incident was very dangerous to the point were I almost got hit with my family in the vehicle I needed a tow truck to take me home and it was super risky and dangerous because other vehicles were passing about 2 ft away from us and at a high speed. Third time this happened I almost got hit again due to the random shut off and loss of velocity and this time it was a very small gap and space I had and cars kept honking and cars were passing at a one ft distance . Once the lights turn on , on the dash board when it's barely a warning and recently pop up the vehicle automatically randomly turns off . The lights I get on the dashboard are stability track , traction control off , engine power is reduced , service stabilitrak, and check engine light . Has not been inspected .

While driving, check engine light went on, stabilitrack and traction control went off (information from driver information center) and power was reduced. This occurred several times a week and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation. After safely stopping, I was able to resume travel after turning off engine and restarting, although check engine light would remain on for several on/off cycles. Engine stored code p1682. This has also happened while at a stop and when the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle would stall (sometimes in middle of intersection).

Misfires on 3 cylinders bank 2, timing chain stretched, camshaft actuator not locking into position inspected by dealer and independent service center check engine light came on, codes p0300 and p05cd problems accelerating past 35 mph.

- engine locked up and does not turn at all - engine failed while our son was driving on the hwy to school and the car stalled. He was not able to turn the steering wheel and the gas peddle would not work. Luckily he knew to get off the road right away. - gustmans Chevrolet in kaukauna, WI confirmed this problem. After doing research and talking with the dealership. They said they are finding this is a common issue in the 2012-2014 chevy Traverse, Buick enclaves, and acadias. - just the dealership as of now - the check engine light went on and then went off the day before. No other message in the vehicle popped up. - the sad part is most of these vehicles are still in good shape and well taken care of. To be told we can only get $500 for this vehicle is just wrong. These vehicle engines should last longer than 9-10 years, especially when we have done all the other maintenance on our vehicle.

Vapor canister purge valve - gm (12690512) failed on my car.

My car has been having a problem with traction control/service stabilitrak and losing power to the engine since I purchased it. The problem was only occasionally, now it does it everytime I drive. First it pops up with traction control off message, once that happens it starts to lose power to the engine making the car(heavy car) shudder so bad I cannot drive. The transmission lags on acceleration and it also pops up with "service stabilitrak", "power loss to engine "and the car will not move until I can pull over and turn it off. Very scary. I have 4 kids and its losing power while im driving on the highway. Ive replaced sensors, cleaned the throttle body and also changed spark plugs and changed fuses. It's very dangerous and I found out this is very common , especially for my year.

2014 chevy Traverse - 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 and recently stalled in middle of busy intersection. No way this should not be recalled it's definitely a known issue. Unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to provide a cause for the failure. Towed to chevy dealership in lancaster NY - basil quoted $4k+ for repair to engine control relay and timing chain. If there is recall on this we will keep and get fixed if not will need to pass and look at other vehicles. Everything starts to go after warranty dates are up or after you hit a certain mileage. We have always purchased gm vehicles my father is gm retiree. Please help.

The dealer ( p & c auto of vance SC) used a code reader to clear out safety codes before the car was purchased. After having a diagnostic test done, a mechanic was able to show the codes and when they were cleared. He recommended returning the car back as it was not safe to operate. I would like to have this looked at. I sent a letter to both the dealer and the finance company ( mid atlantic of clearwater florida) to be reimbursed so that I can purchase a car from elsewhere and to have this car removed from my credit report. The car has been at the mechanic since may where it was towed after being dragged across the road and stalling out. It sat overnight because it would not start. He is unable to repair. Both parties have failed to return my phone calls, emails, or written requests. I've met with an attorney and I'm ready to pursue legal actions because I could have been killed along with my children on several occasions. Please check this car out and the safety codes (p1682 and p0689).

Automobile suddenly starts trembling while reducing velocity on its own and turn on trac off light, check engine light is on.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at 75 mph, the contact smelled fumes and the vehicle had turned off independently. When the vehicle turned off the steering became firm. The traction and service engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed back home.

The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and told the contact to make a complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

While driving, check engine light went on, stabilitrack and traction control went off (information from driver information center) and power was reduced. This occurred several times over a period of two to three weeks and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation and luckily it never happened at highway speeds in one of the left lanes of traffic. After safely stopping, I was able to resume travel after turning off engine and restarting, although check engine light would remain on for several on/off cycles. Engine stored code p1682. Brought to dealer service and they repaired per TSB #19-na-276 related to issues in fuse box. Repair was $406. 48. This is a known issue with manufacturer. Also, many owners have mentioned this safety issue on internet forums and youtube videos.

The fuse block/box has been identified, as the problem by the manufacturer and reported to the dealer service centers. There have been numerous complaints filed on the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse fuse block. Service techs were instructed (years ago) to look at the fuse block when the following problems were reported by the owner. If they knew to instruct their techs to look at the fuse block/box, then they knew it was defective - it should have been recalled/replaced at that time. Since it wasn't, there have been ongoing safety risk to many vehicle owners and passengers. It has also required owners to pay hundreds of dollars to repair/replace the known defective part; I just paid $965. 00. While driving at any speed, the car will begin shaking/jerking; dashboard messages begin: engine power is reduced, traction control off, service stabilitrak, along with the service engine light. In the city, before you can move over out of traffic, the engine stalls/stops. You are in the middle of the street with no engine power, no steering, and no brakes. This is very dangerous and can immediately result in an accident. . . To you/the driver, or cause an accident further behind, when the other drivers can't see that traffic has stopped. Even with flashers on, it may take several attempts to get the vehicle started again. The same situation occurred last year traveling down a highway at a speed of 70 mph, while we (myself and spouse) were able to pull off the road, had the car not started again - we would have had a towing bill back to the dealership service center. We were not told about the fuse block/box (known) problem at that time. I am truly shocked, very disappointed and angry to learn (on my own) that the safety of my granddaughter (from birth) has been a risk every time we traveled in my vehicle. She and I travel alone, sometimes up to 3/4 hrs. Away to see family, and could have been in an accident or stranded on the side of a highway, or street, many times.

There is a problem with the stabilitrak system that causes the vehicle to shut off while driving. This turns off the traction control and reduces power to 3 cylinders, thus causing the vehicle to go into limp mode and can cause an accident. This problem is intermittent and the dealers can't seem to find the underlying issue. It will happen whole parked, stopped at an intersection or driving at highway speeds. I have had this happen while driving in heavy traffic on the freeway and in the number one lane. My vehicle lost power and I had to try and negotiate three traffic lanes to stop along side the freeway. I had to put the transmission in park and shut the engine off for 15 seconds in order to clear the code and safely proceed back into traffic. The check engine light remains on for a period of time, but will clear itself. This is unsafe and needs to be address by gm as it is happening to multiple model types in gm vehicle lineup.

When driving the vehicle will have a sudden lose of engine power with no warning signs. It will say “engine power reduced” then say “service stabilitrac”, and “traction control off”. This morning when it happened I was turning into a parking lot to drop my kids off and almost hit a sign because the engine completely stalled mid turn. I have also had it happen to me on major highways.

I recently purchased a 2014 chevy Traverse lt. While driving on a four lane busy road with a 65 mph speed limit my vehicle without warning said “traction control off, reduced engine power” and within seconds I had no power stealing and I went from driving 65 mph to 10 in less then 10 seconds, the car started violently shaking as well. I had to aggressively redirect the steering wheel to get to the side of the road and turn the vehicle off & wait a few minutes & restart it. It seemed to fix the problem. Within a week it happened again, on the way home from work, and I was nearly rear ended at a 60 mph speed and I am now terrified to drive the car more then a mile up the road to my kids school, I have two small children and this has put us in an almost near death situation twice! I purchased this car so I would have a reliable vehicle for my kids and I and it’s been terrifying for my children and I to own this chevy! the dealership I purchased the vehicle from is over two hours away, I also live in a rural area so to have it diagnosed I’d be having to drive at least 15 miles and I’m terrified to do so.

This has happened multiple times. Dealership is unsure what exactly is the issue with the vehicle. While driving the vehicle out of nowhere the engine stalls and the 'engine power is reduced', 'service traction control', 'service stability track' and 'service air bag' messages illuminate across the dash. While these messages display there is no acceleration to the vehicle. This makes it very dangerous to drive.

With no warning the steering wheel locks up and the engine reduces power and starts saying service traction control and stability track. It doesn’t his in rush hour traffic going 75 miles an hour.

On more than 5 occasions my car will say “traction control off” and “reduced engine power” then just shut down. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident. I took it in serval times and mechanics report that there is not issue that they can see. The check engine light with come on and off randomly.

I purchased this vehicle yesterday from offerup app and the person that sold the car to me lie to me about the miles in the car ,she was advertising the car with 101 85,000 miles, and yesterday when I went to the the transfer title they told me that the car has 245,000 miles I'm sending copy of the title where shows the miles are wrong, she committed a fraud, selling me a car with false odometer, I hope you can help me with this!!!.

One day as I was driving on the freeway, the vehicle's engine light/airbag light came on and the vehicle then went into "engine power reduced mode" I was lucky to be close to a turn-off. I was able to get the vehicle off the road safely. I turned off the vehicle and check it. Then turned the vehicle back on and all lights were off. It was shocking, the car was driving normally. I did not think twice and took it to the dealership. They told us it was just the battery and airbag sensor. Thankful they changed it, no cost to us. But later this happened again, this time it was the "engine light and traction control off". We have no idea what it is. Because we have taken the vehicle to a mechanic to get checked, but they can't seem to find anything wrong with it. This happens several times. Can I have some answers or help to stop this from happening. At this point this vehicle to very dangerous to drive.

This is the second time this has happened while driving along at highway speeds unexpectedly get error messages, service traction control, service stabilitrak, traction control is off, engine power is reduced. The first time I was able to drive to a dealership. The second time I lost all power and was lucky that I was in a residential zone.

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.

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.

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.

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.
