general problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the vehicle was retrieved from a dealer after a recall regarding the air bags; however, while driving approximately 25 mph and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lunged forward. The contact stated that the stability control warning light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle back to the dealer, and the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle remained with the dealer for 2 months and the dealer attempted to perform the air bag recall again. The contact stated that later, when the vehicle was picked up, while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the stability control warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lunged forward while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to another dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and had referred the contact to the second dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

The big problem when I drive is that it is not safe, it jerks when I start to accelerate. I took it to the nearest dealer to have the problem fixed. And they do not want to fix the problem and now I just want to get this vehicle off the roads. I do not want to cause an accident and put my family at risk.

I have a 2016 chevy Traverse. The “traction control off” light has been on for about 2 months now, along with the service stabilitrak light, and abs light. When driving it seems is if though my abs is kicking in when it should not be. Since those lights have been on, the left passenger brakes seem to also be affected. Anytime I first begin driving until I hit about 30mph, or anytime I press the brakes, it feels like my brakes are locking up…or a better way to describe it is when driving in the snow and your abs kicks in and you can feel it in your brake pedal like the brakes are locked up, but there is no snow. Recently there were two times when I was coming to a stop light and nearly hit the stopped car in front of me because my brakes locked up and the pedal wouldn’t go down. Now, almost a week ago when trying to leave, my car will not start at all. The battery is new and the lights all work. The power of the car turns on but it doesn’t turn over to start or if it does it struggles to stay started and then dies right away. I have seen tons and tons of other videos or reviews of other Traverse owners complaining of the same problem ranging from 2014-2017 Traverse. Many people take theirs to a dealership and even they can’t figure out the problem or they say it’s a glitch in the system. There are far too many other chevy Traverse vehicles having the same issue. The only difference with theirs is the lights come on every so often. Mine don’t turn off, they are always on. This is extremely dangerous, much more dangerous than the air bag recall. These vehicles should be recalled immediately before something very serious happens. I have been without a vehicle now for a week while I’ve had to miss work and my kids have had to miss school. I have had the problem checked by a professional mechanic but couldn’t figure it out either. No one else has looked at it as it is dead so I can’t take it anywhere. It is available upon request for inspection.

2 issues: 1: brakes did not stop car nor did the abs braking system kick in causing the car to not stop on full demand! 2 cars slammed on their brakes at a yellow light instead of going thru causing a small number kiss was going 35mph and when braking, car didn’t fully stop and out brakes tho to the floor. Abs did not kick in. No lights on dash board. 2: the very next morning, the traction control light came on saying service the stabilitrak, traction control. The car ins denied it was from car accident. When the traction control light comes on the dashboard, by itself) it causes the car to automatically brake when accelerating whenever it chooses to come on causing it to be unsafe in traffic. You cannot control the button to turn it off. This has been an issue coming on and off at random to current.

The transmission blew while I was driving down the highway and my car dash was flashing transmission hot and my car would no longer move. It was smoking and leaked fluids everywhere. I was scared to death it was gonna catch fire but thankfully it didn’t. I don’t k it if the safety recall has anything to do with it but larry spacc has literally had my car at his shop waiting to be repaired since August!.

While driving on a highway (65mph) the vehicle shuddered (as if running over rumble strips), the alert “service stabilitrak” appeared simultaneously with “low engine pressure” message and simultaneously the car entered limp mode. No cel. Started car, car lunged a few feet and entered limp mode with no cel. Would recommend alert that one is in reduced engine state.

While driving on highway, experienced sudden/acute loss of engine power. Depressed acceleration pedal, but no response from engine. No cel. Pulled to the shoulder and vehicle couldn't start. Key starter clicks but won’t turn over. No cel. Still have some electrical power because radio, dash lights, and ac remain on. Could not jump start, batt indicated 12v. Car has been to repair shop 8 times since Nov 2020 (purchased April 2019 used 38k miles) for same issue. Mechanics find they cannot replicate the issue. Has caused accident by sudden deceleration in high speed traffic conditions (highway).

Transmission failed and was replaced with a brand new one. Three weeks later the transmission started slipping again causing it to go back into the shop. It has now been in the shop for over three months with no idea as to what is causing the problem. Dealership confirmed it’s the same problem that occurred last time.

Vehicle stalled going down the road. Warranty covered for new engine replacement. Then it was found that the transmission was no good. Warranty paid for new transmission. Vehicle still acting like it wants to stall after new engine, transmission, and battery. Would like to know what caused the problem to begin with and would like a full repair of the vehicle.

Transmission went out on my way to work the vehicle shut off after I was stopped at a red light when it came time to move forward it bucked and shut off I finally made it to work then had it towed for repair.

Replaced the transmission in 2018, transmission went out again in 2021. Power steering also had to be replaced in 2021. The initial transmission repair was covered under warranty but not the subsequent transmission nor the power steering were covered under warranty. There are less than 95,000 miles on the car.

Ac compressor locked up and locked motor up.

The car started getting a traction off and stability tracker n it would not run properly I was on the freeway and it happened almost caused an accident. Also it happens at random times.

My car is a 2016 and it's not leaking fluid but I have had to filll the transmission fluid up three times since I had it and I bought it brand new in 2016.

2016 chevy Traverse engine traction control, stabiltrak problem. Engine light came on, display stated reduce speed to 25 mph and the above warning flashed on the dash display. The car lost acceleration power. It happened twice in about a two week period. The first time it happened was on 12/18/17, I stopped the first time at a parts store to get the code readings but they did not have the equipment to read the codes. The second time it happened was on 12/27/17, I stopped at another parts store and they read the codes which came up as p2138. Engine light was off the next morning and I took it into advantage chevy in bolingbrook, IL. They made an appointment and told me most likely I need to replace the accelerator pedal and sensor, but until they check it out it could be something else too. I wish I would have taken pictures of the display also.
