Was bringing my children home from school and engine light and traction control light came on, reduced my speed and I couldn't keep up with traffic so quickly got off the road. Looked at the dash and saw it said engine power reduced. Turned off the car few seconds and I was able to drive home luckily I wasn't to far.

I was driving my 2016 Traverse after a cancer treatment home when all of a sudden msgs on my dash started appearibg. Service stabilitrak, traction control off. The car started shuttering and the guy behind me rear ended me with my children in the car. Since then I have put 2 power steering pumps in, and had it st the shop for several times that it had said about servicib srabilitrak. I have read over 300 hrs of complaints gaving the same issue with the stabilitrsk. I have also replaced speed sensors and modules. This is a trash vechile and no one from gm cares or responds. When someone child does maybe it will get their attention. A class action lawsuit is what I plan on pursuing. This could have been my child. I hope someone reads this n can care enougj to help. The car has less then 65000 miles.

At approximately 45 mph on a straight 2 lane road the service stabilitrak message came on, engine power was greatly reduced, smoke from exhaust and gas smell appeared and traction control turned off. Could be extremely dangerous on a major highway or in rainy conditions.

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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the traction control out warning light illuminated. Soon after,a power down warning light appeared and then the stabiltrak warning light illuminated. As the vehicle began to slow down, the contact pulled over to the side of the road. Due to the matter, the contact had to have the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed and the manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. Jo.

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.

While driving at normal traffic and highway speeds, the vehicle will sometimes reduce speeds on its own and the transmission will drop to 2nd gear. The sevice engine light will flash and the dash will read traction control off. Sometimes the engine will also misfire. The vehicle will sometimes correct itself and return to normal driving or it has to be turned off to reset. Some forum users suggest replacing the throttle due to carbon buildup. This is can cause confusion with a driver which may result in a collision.

Export version only. Country: colombia. 1. Shitf to park. When you park the vehicle ask you to put it in park and it is already. Dealer is working on that as I write this thread. Tech found a recall or bulletin from manufacturer to repair or possible replacement of some parts 2. Service stabilitrack. In many and ramdom ocacions this service light comes on and 20 seconds later goes off. When stopping at a light. Dealer unable to duplicate and no fix yet 3. Fuel economy system, it does not work right now, and it happened twice before. Does not turn off when you stop at a traffic light. Delaer has updated software in order to remedy this issue. 4. Locking audio confirmation. When you manually lock the doors it gives you an audio or lights confirmation. It does not work any more. Dealer looking into this issue. 5. Electric parking brake. The electric parking brake activated it self while driving in traffic. Heavy traffic situation 5 mph and the e. Brake came on and stayed on. The vehicle did not move forward or backwards. Turn the engine off several times, put in parking, neutral etc etc. After 5 minutes of blocking traffic had to force the vehicle to the shoulder. Almost did not make it. Turn vehicle off and called the flat bed. While waiting 15-20 minutes later turn vehicle on and surprise!!! it was fixed. Magic. The e brake was off and the vehicle was free. While this was going on the e brake light (red) was on, and service parking brake light (amber) was flasing all the time. Dealer did an update to the system and not sure if it will happened again. But this is the third time this happened. Once at my house about six months ago but it took about 1 minute and it fix it self so I did not pay attention to it. The second time it happened to my wife at a shopping center but she left it in the lot and went back shopping and when it came out it was fixed.

I was driving at about 50mph the check traction control lights came on the check stabilitrack came on then it said traction control on then off my vehicle lost power and I couldnt steer. Luckily no cars were coming on the dark winding road I was on as I was stuck no lights or anything.

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.

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.

Power steering failed on vehicle while in motion. Electric power steering module failed casuing extreme dificulty getting the vehicle parked. Steering rack had to be replaced and computer re-programmed. Vehicle is back at the dealer with a similar trouble code for a follow up to the original repair. It took gm over 4 months to get the replacement part making us drive our vehicle with a faulty steering rack never once providing a loaner vehicle or buyback opportunity.

Receiving �service stabilitrak� �service traction control� �traction control off� messages.

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.

While driving on the turnpike during rush hour near philadelphia I got a vehicle alarm for reduced power. The vehicle then quickly slowed down from 50mph to 10mph nearly causing an accident. Then a alarm for stability trac control. Pulled codes p089 and p228c. This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed ASAP.

After some major maintenance work summer of 2018, car began to show more work needed. Summer of 2019 while driving on flat city road, power steering became difficult to turn & control curves and, check engine light came on. Parked the car until able to repair. Mechanic repaired power steering module car seemed ok. After about 2-3 weeks, check engine light & power steering problems again , now engine power reduced while driving w/stabilitrak warning & back up cam sometimes works. Whle driving , hard to turn on curves, corners and at appropriate posted speeds bc engine slows on its own and wont give enough power for flats or hills. Heating takes much longer to warm cabin and window button sometimes wont work.

Since August( around 08/25/19), I've been having a service air bag notifcation which I've took to the Chevrolet dealership services. I was told there were a senor to be replaced and payed for the replacement. September ( around 09/18/2019), the service air bag came on again less than a month with the same notification. I was told then there was a second senor that needed to be replaced. Here I am now in November (11/20/19) with the service air bag notifcation on my dash board again for the third time. I'm in the process of contacting Chevrolet once more about this. I reserach the recall but there is no recall for my vehicle. I'm unsure if anyone else having the same issues. The light either pop up at the start of turning on the vehicle or during the drive. Normally on the first day of notification it will go off after second crank but within 3 days will return and will not turn off. This part is not a cheap part plus adding dealership fees.

While driving abs light,traction control light,and service stabitrack came brakes started acting funny and would not accelerate puttered and finally settled out shut off at house and the truck started up and did the same thing.

My husband and I went to the store with our two kids just to grab some groceries. We live less than 5 miles from the grocery store. On our way home the car started shaking while idling and acted like it was going to stall out on us. We were in the middle of the intersection when the car decided to start sputtering, shaking violently and then shut off. Thankfully enough we were able to pull into a parking lot to try and figure out what happened. After multiple attempts the car finally started back up. We were not able to go above 20 mph. We found out that the fuel pump went out so we spent the $300 to replace that. Once that was replaced we thought we were in the clear. About two days later the same thing happened again except I was on the expressway doing about 70-80 mph. Same thing, was able to start it up again after multiple attempts, couldn't go above 40 mph this time. About two months ago we started having p0017, p0018, p0019 trouble codes pop up. We tried to replace the sensors and they were still popping up. We cleared them, about 5-10 minutes later they would pop back up again. Thursday the car was working fine. It was running great, no shaking, wasn't acting like it was going to stall out. The engine light was still on but we are now to the point that there is some sort of electrical issue going on. This is our only vehicle, and we have two kids and jobs to get to. We are tired of putting money into this trying to figure out what's wrong with it. My parents owned this car before we did. We are the second owners. I find it pretty convenient that everything starts to go downhill after warranty dates are up or after you hit a certain mileage. And with the strike that just happened, gm isn't wanting to take any responsibility for the fear of losing money yet again. Issue a recall or you will end up with lawsuits. Either way you will lose money. Save some lives.

I live in cold climate with snow and ice conditions. When in motion, usually when the engine has reached running temperature is when the issues tend to occur. I notice it happens more often if there is ice build up on the rims causing an imbalance in the wheels but happens when the car is free of any ice or snow build up. The results of this is out of no where engine power is reduced,stability trak , park assist exct. Warning lights come on. This has now happened to me several times now in different conditions making this chevy Traverse unsafe for my family of five,this is my only vehicle and the closest chevy dealership is 135 miles away. With all that being the case I did research on my vehicles issues to find many websites and forums of countless people having the same issue with gm vehicles up to 8 years older than mine any many vehicles of the same year and model. Yet no recalls are found on these models and have put many people in dangerous situations. I have not took my Traverse to the dealer yet because I feel like I would get took advantage of like the hundred or so posts that I read about people that have been and wrote about there dealer horror stories. This is a well known issue that gm needs to fix for there consumer's and has failed to do so for the past eight years.

The service stabilitrak warning comes across the dash and the powers motor down to half power. This has happened three times now the first time I was on the highway going 70 and was lucky to avoid an accident with my children in the vehicle. Had the motor replaced because the mechanic sau it was something with the timing. Now it is happening again, this time I was in town luckily on a street that wasnt too busy. This is not only becoming costly to repair but extremely unsafe when it powers down to half power and you can not get above 20mph. This is supposed to be a family vehicle there are children riding in these cars.

Times 2- again I get the stabilitrak warning. Cruise will not work, powers down trying to excelerate. The dealership can not fix this sense there is no code coming up for it even though the warning light is on and flashing on my dash. Trying to accelerate it will power down at lights, on interstate etc.

We have 2 issues. 1st was in July 2019, our power steering pump went out with on 60,000 miles on the vehicle and we were told this is a common problem with the Traverses. 2nd concern is in September 2019 our vehicle lost acceleration capabilities on the highway and the display said have stability control serviced. We had trouble making it home and after I turned the engine off for a few hours it then ran fine. It was like a computer glitch on the highway which occurred for no apparent reason and was very unsafe. We were driving straight 50 mph on a clear nice afternoon and slowed to 25 when it happened and it wouldn't accelerate properly.

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.

While driving, my reverse camera came on, service engine light, traction control turned off, alerts for parking assist off, service traction control, service stabilitrax. Loss engine power and was not able to accelerate over 10mph while flooring the gas. This happened on a low traffic road thankfully or one of my children could have died in an accident. The alerts began while driving down a hill, the engine loss was noted when I turned. Apparently there are pages and pages of forums regarding this exact issue with the Traverse. How is there not a recall? how many people must die in accidents caused by engine power loss before you do anything?!.

For no reason the service stabiltrak light comes on. The gages start going on their own. The vehicle goes into limp mode while driving. It has happened on highways, city roads. I have taken it to a dealership "who said I cant make it reciprocate so I just reprogrammed the tcm, and if that doesnt work I will recommend anew tcm. " in short they have no idea. I have taken it to an independent mechanic who was able to trouble shoot it back to the fuel control system module vs comm module. However. I think there is more to it than that. Chevy needs to fix this issue it's a very common issue on Traverse forums. Nhsta please do something about this issue someone is going to die.

I was driving on the highway and all of my dash gauges started to fluctuate, my traction control light came on, I started to loose speed when I pressed on the accelerator, when I finally made it home my back up camera would not come on and I heard clicking coming from the fuse box.

While driving the car, the traction control turns off. When this message comes on the driver information panel, the following messages appear: the check engine light comes on, engine power reduced, and service stabilitytrac system. At the same time, when you press the gas pedal, the car does not accelerate. Also, the cruise control does not work. This happens whether you're driving 5 miles an hour or 55+ miles per hour. This is a problem that occurs every time I drive the car. I have noticed that if the temperature is under 40 degrees, it happens more times than when the temperature is greater than 40 degrees. I live in pennsylvania and the temperature dips very low. I drive a minimum of 300 miles a day m-f and this is a very dangerous flaw. I am reporting this because I have exhausted all of my resources. The only way I have found to reset the traction control, is to pull over, turn the car off, and wait for 3-5 minutes. This will reset the traction control but it does not turn off the check engine light.

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???.

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.

I had had this 2016 Traverse and it has 64000 miles. It has on several occasions flashed service traction control/service stabilitrac system. It happens outta nowhere. I've taken it in several times only to be told they can't find a code. It happens while driving down the road without warning cutting power to the engine. No reason for it to happen and it's not fixed. Seems to be a common gm problem. Needs to be fixed. This happens while driving down the road. On any street. This happened again today and has happened several times.

While driving down the expressway the vehicles stabilitrak light came on, there was a loss of power - which could have caused an crash at high speeds. The stabilitrak light has come on several time now, then the abs light, then the check engine light. Each time the traction control lights flash and then there is a loss of vehicle power. This could be a very dangerous issue, it is for this reason I am reporting it here.
