14 Traction Control System problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 08/01/2014

2011 Chevrolet Traverse. Consumer writes in regards to issues with the traction control features. The consumer stated when decreasing acceleration, approaching a curve or stop sign, the transmission down shifted causing the vehicle to go into an uncontrollable skid with the front wheels actually locking up. Also, when he applied the brake, when he approached a curve or stop sign, the abs over-reacted, which caused the vehicle to go into a skid. Both incidents happened while driving on snow covered roads. When it first happened, he went though the stop sin and ended up in a ditch when going around two moderate curves at slow speed. The consumer read the owner's manual and discovered the traction control could be turned off by flipping a switch. After doing so, the vehicle performed flawlessly with slippery conditions and continued to do so as long as the traction control was turned off. The problem was amplified by the fact, the traction control was automatically on when the vehicle was started.

15 Traction Control System problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 12/21/2013

This vehicle at random times tells you that you need to service you stailitrak and traction control and reduces power which is dangerous because of the fact it loses power and when you want to pass your not able to. Even if your climbing a small little hill it will barely climb which puts others at risk of crashing especially in icy or dangerous conditions, or maybe even worse. This is a good family hauler, but not when it reduces power and puts others at risk.

16 Traction Control System problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse

Failure Date: 12/09/2013

Driving on the highway and all of a sudden there was an alert on the dashboard saying that "traction control off" then immediately after another alert came on stating that "engine power has been reduced". I was unable to accelerate fully. I turned the car off and back on and it reset it but the same alerts came back on minutes later. The next day I took it to the dealership and they said the throttle body had to be replaced. This seems to be a common occurrence for these vehicles and after researching online I have found hundreds of others that have had the same problem. This is extremely dangerous and chevy/gm should seriously consider recalling this part.
