Was driving fine and all of a sudden with no warning car would not go faster than 15 mph. Check engine light came on then traction control went off. Across the dash it said "service traction control, service stabilitrack and reduced engine power" the car started shifting between 2 different gears making it extremely scary to try driving to a safe spot with 3 young kids.

It has happened a few times where the stabilitrack goes haywire while driving and locks the vehicle up allowing to only travel a few miles per hour super unsafe when on highway. Have had a chevy dealership replace the throttle body snd less than 10,000 miles later same problem. In researching online seems this is a very common problem on all chevys that is extremely unsafe when it happens and your driving.

Driving down highway and all of the sudden a loud pop noise like a shotgun hit my sunroof, followed with crackling noise that immediately told me that underneath the shade that thankfully acted as a protection to me as I was driving was a my sunroof that for no apparent reason exploded. This has to be a recall of some kind! so scary!.

I have a 2012 chevy Traverse, ive only owned it less than 2 years and had issues with service stabilitrack/traction control at least 6 times. When this happens the car looses power, my check engine light comes on, ive even had black smoke come out of my hood and tail pipe trying to keep it running on the highway so my family and I werent killed. I have taken it to the dealership and the codes it throws makes no sense . After they wipe the codes, let it sit its fine for a few weeks. I know im not the only Traverse owner with this issue, is it going to take a family dying on a major highway, or a child being killed because their parents lost power in their only car in traffic and a truck hit them. Please please fix this issue. I dont wanna die because I bought a Traverse. I cant afford another car payment right now.

My wife and I own a 09 chevy Traverse and have had for about 3 years. When we first bought it it drove like brand new but over the period of a year or so we started to feel a side to side swaying (such as rocking in a boat) while driving about 60 mph. Since we've got 4 kids and my wife uses it as a day to day vehicle I took it to the dealership and had them tell me it was struts (which I had replaced) and after being replaced it still had the side to side movement. It has gotten to the point I don't allow her to drive her nor the kids because of the dangers. I've had the rack n steering, front upper and lower control arms the rear upper control arms, stabilizer bar bushings along with numerous other bushings and all 4 brand new tires. The dealership nor other independent shop knows what else to replace.

Dashboard pad stuffing came apart from windshield. Repaired and now this is third time it's replaced. I was not aware that extended warrenty doesn't pay for it. The first repair was warrenty . Repair defective 3rd time. Everytime it comes out they have to charge to remove dash board and replace. Safety hazard windshield loosen, can crack, leak, annoying rattle. Contact GMC to put recall safety in. Software update if you call dealer no recall was issued as required. Failed again. Pandemic keeps people from driving so didn't know problem and now warrenty up . . 10,000 miles on 2018. Jan 2021 3 years. Repaired third time now. Cost of approx 500. 00. Dealer stated recall on software and GMC issued it. Just said no recall issued aware of. This is dangerous to driver. Windshield loosen, can crack, shatter easier on impact, annoying rattle, and cost for each repaired new dashboard required. 395. 00 and tax and labor. Total 500. 00.

I have a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse ltd, I've only owned the car 8 months. The traction control is constantly coming on! the message on the screen appears: service traction control, service stabilitrack. After, this happens, another message appears reducing engine power. This is dangerous because at this point the more I try to accelerate, the more the engine goes down. This is so very dangerous because this could happen when I'm not able to pull over! this needs to be recalled or someone is going to get killed! normally, 80% of the time I'm on a major interstate when this happens or I'm on a major highway. Please investigate this!.

Check engine light for throttle bottle sensor which causes the gas pedal to stick when trying to accelerate. Service stability track and traction control off which causes the car to lose engine power while driving.

Went to the dealer for an oil change. Left with a $4,600 repair estimate. The car has never been in accident has 130,00 miles. They are saying the front timing cover is leaking $1314, the steering rack is leaking $1804 , swaybar bushing is loose $233 and bunch of other things. I have had nothing but problems with this car alternator was replaced at 100,000 miles and a few othe major problems that were cover under warranty.

12/21/16 first, I pulled out of driveway and the vehicle would only go about 1-2 miles an hour for several blocks. . . Pulled over and put in park and revved the engine a little and pulled out again. It still wouldn't accelerate at first, then gradually picked up speed and rode the remainder without incident. On 12/22/16, one second I was parking my car in front of the store I work at, and was almost completely stopped with my foot on the brake, when all of a sudden the car lunged forward into the brick wall of the building. The airbag in the steering column deployed. The car bounced back and shut down I think). I reached up and turned the key off & l opened the door & the radiator was leaking onto the lot. . My knees were hurting really bad, both my hands were sore and my left arm. The car front was all damaged with part of the fender on the sidewalk. We called my husband to come and take me to get checked out because I thought I might have cracked both my kneecaps. We contacted our insurance company and they told us to have the car towed to our preferred body shop, which we did. The dr x-rayed my knees and determined they were not broken, just badly bruised. On Dec 26th, I went back to the dr because I started having some pain in my neck/shoulder and they did numerous tests, finding what they thought was a fracture in my neck. I had to wear a brace on it for a week, then more testing determined that what they saw was actually a previous injury that had never been caught. I need physical therapy on the neck issue. I have since found that there are several complaints of these cars suddenly lurching forward when the brake is applied, over a span of 7 years. I am not only thankful I wasn't injured worse, but that there wasn't a person in front of me when this happened. I am very concerned that it could happen again and the outcome could be much worse.

This is my second complaint I am filing, I have a 2013 chevy Traverse with fortera hl p255/65r18 109 tires, the first set had major cracking that ran along the inside first rib and last outside rib along the tread, with cracks that ran horizontal to the wear indicators, the last time I check the cracks was about 4 mm long, this affected all four tires. I contacted the dealership, took the vehicle to the dealership and goodyear made it clear after two weeks the issue we had was from "ozone cracking" even though the tires only had 22,000 plus miles on them and refused to replace under the recall, instead charging me a $389. 00 prorated fee for new tires of the exact size, name and quality. On 02 July, while out making payments and buying food I noticed a very strong rubber smell, I came home and the smell had increased to that of a rubber burning smell, I touched the tires and they was so hot I could not leave my hand on the tread. I noticed that one tire had/has a blue green color to it from the rim to the middle just below the words goodyear, I also noticed that there appears to be what looks like wear from the tread line down to just below the words goodyear where it looks like the tire is riding on the road on the side wall, or as I described it to both goodyear and the dealership it looks like they are ran against a curb, of which we have no curbs in our block. These tires also do not maintain air pressure,.

I have a 2013 chevy Traverse that has massive cracking around the whole tire both on the inside 1st rib and the outside rib, I found cracks running across the wear indicators, I notified the dealership who after finding a recall (the recall was for years Nov 14 to Jan 15) agreed the description given by goodyear for these tires (p255/65r18 1095 fortera hl) asked for the car so they could replace the tires. As of yesterday goodyear claims all the issues are from ozone cracking and they are not liable for this, even though by definitation this occurs on the outside sidewall not the inside of the tread or across the wear indicators, I have repeadedly asked about the 6 year warrenty that is suppose to be on these and still have no reply, I do know there are multiple complaints filed against this specific tire from 2012 forward for the same issue and extreme tread wear. With the cracks running the full lenth of the tread on the inside and the cracks across the wear indicators this creates a massive danger in tire seperation or blow outs at high speeds especially in the summer.

I received a letter in the mail "advising" me that this vehicle has a "known" issue with cracking transmission plates - but - they weren't going to recall the vehicles; just offer a 1 year extension on the warranty. I called my local dealership to ask what the warning signs would be they they answered perfectly. They said "you won't get any warning signs. Your check engine light will come on and the vehicle will be unresponsive. " now how about that to make the consumer feel safe. You see, I grew up in the automotive industry and I also know that with the iso standards provided to the manufacturers; the big money makers know "exactly" which vehicle these faulty plates are in. What I'm seeing is the "extreme cost it will take to remove the transmission from each and every concerned vehicle is "just too much for them to encompass. So if the consumer is in atlanta, GA in 6 lanes of traffic and the 3rd or 5th gear decide that "today is the day to make believers out of the driver" then fatalities can and will occur. How dare gm to try to play charades with the consumer that has placed our trust in them to handle these issues and not try to pacify us with a song and dance to "appease" us. Well, let me advise gm that I have always tried to stand by the "buy american dream. " so now I will have no problem "advising" anyone that will listen that these vehicles are just assembled here. Every part I've seen under the hood has "made in china or korea" written on it. American dream my ass. I'm trading for either a japanese or german engine. I "might get lucky" and get under their hoods and find that they were created in their own countries. Shame on gm for playing the consumer for schumcks. I won't support them anymore.

Approaching a stop light the stabilitrack light came on then a message reduced engine power. The engine cut itself off. I had to keep under 15 mph but ever few miles pull over because the reduce engine light comes on and cuts the car off. Vey dangerous. Gm you need to do a recall and fix this!.

On 2/3/15 driving 60mph on the 1-87 my steering wheel began to vibrate on and off. Then drove about 5 miles further then my stabilitrack and traction control failed with its indication on the dash board then the vehicle skid symbol lit up and the dashboard stated engine loss of power and the vehicle slowing began to deaccelerate to about 40mph and I had to pull over on the shoulder and had my vehicle towed to chevy dealer. I was told it was my throttle body. Which I see seems a big problem for a lot of 2011 Traverse owners. The repair will cost me nearly $700 after I replaced a burned out wireharness for $658 just 2 weeks ago!!!!.

I was driving down I 74 at 70 mph when my dash issued 3 warnings (service traction control, service stabilitrack, & engine power reduced). My vehicle dropped down to 15 mph and was unable to pick up speed. I had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid being hit by oncoming traffic. By the time I got to a safe place the whole thing was shaking and sputtering. They need to do a recall before someone gets killed !.

I was entering onto the freeway when my stabilitrack turned off by itself and my engine power was reduced. I was very nearly rear-ended as my car couldn't safely accelerate (accelerate at all really) as I was coming onto the freeway. A search on problems similar to this appears very prevalent within the chevy line of vehicles, especially the Traverse. This is a very serious issue and was very unsafe where it occurred. It almost caused. It's very disappointing to see how many people are experiencing this same issue and chevy hasn't issued any kind of recall to try and fix it.

I was driving through a parking lot and the stabillitrack light came on, the check engine light flashed and the traction control light came on. The driver center said the traction control shut off and it also stated to service stabillitrack. The engine seemed to slow itself as well. I parked the vehicle and waited a few minutes. The warning lights finally went off on their own and the traction control turned back on, on it's own. The car seemed ok driving home for 2 miles and engine power seemed to return to normal but there seems to be some hesitation in the transmission shifting at low speeds too. I called the dealer and the soonest they can get me in to check the car is Monday. I asked if it was safe to drive and they would not commit to safety or reliability but refused provide any relief until Monday and gave me no offer of a loaner car. I just did some investigating online to research what the cause of this problem might be and it appears that this is a very common problem with this vehicle and it can occur at high speeds on the highway. Many forums list many people with this complaint. I am concerned this could occur again and cause an accident. The problem looks to be intermittent and will occur without warning at any speed. In my opinion this is a safety problem which needs to be taken seriously. I am fearful for my families safety in this vehicle.

While traveling on the highway heading to the airport, we were going approximately 60mph. The engine light came on and truck began to power down. The traction control/stabili track light also came on and we were losing speed and could not accelerate. With other vehicles around us were going 60mph or more we had to try and get off highway to side of road before our truck lost power all together. We then shut off the truck let it sit for few minutes and then turned truck back on. We were then able to pull back on to highway at full speed. It happened a two more times before we were able to reach our destination. Three days later we were back in our truck leaving the airport heading home and within 5 minutes of being on the road our truck began to power down again, check engine light came on and stabili track light also came on. We had to again pull over but this time at least 5 times before we were able to make it home. It was a very dangerous and scary ordeal. We contacted atlantic chevy about the problem and we brought truck in a week later due to the fact that they said they did not have a loaner vehicle available for us. We were told that it was the throttle body and we were not covered since we were past our 3yr/36,000 miles warranty. After much research, we have found that we are one of many other gm customers who have had the same situation with their vehicle powering down in the middle of driving. This is not just a random problem with our vehicle but appears to be a defective problem with the part. Customers are being expected to pay for this to be fixed when in fact it should be a recall on the part or it should be covered under the federal emissions warranty. I hope by us filing this complaint that it will be looked into further and that it will be handled in the way that satisfies all general motor customers who have had to deal with this problem. Thank you.

Driving on the freeway, suddenly several dings go off and a service stabilitrack light go off, with lights noting the malfunction light is off and that the stabilitrack is off. This was followed by a reduced engine power light, then a slow reduction in engine power to where I could not go over 35 mph, until I pulled over and repeatedly turned the car on and off. This has happened numerous times over the past year+ but by the time I made it back home the issue was fine. Until the past 2 weeks. It seems to be occurring more frequently, including today while I was driving on the road ( I drive a lot for work). Today it happen a total of 6 times. I have taken it in to my mechanic several weeks ago and they checked the sensors, cleaned them and thought we could see if that would work. It did not, he said the next step is a pricey replacement of the throttle body. I see that this is not included on the list of recall items for the 2010 chevy Traverse. I have already had 2 this year. This is a dangerous issue, I was lucky to not be hit by the sudden decrease in engine power, each time this has happened. I know I am not the only one with this issue with the Traverse and I am wondering why this is not included in the recall items, as the seat belt issue was. I don't know if there have been any deaths from this issue, but honestly if there hasn't been it is only a matter of time. Driving a vehicle that sudden loses power on I-80, where the speed limit is 70 mph, with many semi trucks, and your vehicle speed drops down to 35 mph and you need to pull over is a safety hazard and needs to be recalled. I am currently looking into getting a different SUV, that I can drive myself and my family safely in. Please investigate this. Thank you.
