NHTSA Complaint #10655116 — 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

WIFE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE STABILITRAK TURNED OFF AND THE ENGINE WENT INTO A SAFE MODE DROPPING HER SPEED INSTANTLY. LUCKILY, SHE WAS IN TRAFFIC AND NOT GOING FULL HIGHWAY SPEED OR ELSE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT HURTING MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2010 TRAVERSE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, AND EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE 2011 (HTTP://FORUMS.EDMUNDS.COM/DISCUSSION/14979/CHEVROLET/TRAVERSE/CHEVY-TRAVERSE-STABILITRAK-TRACTION-CONTROL-PROBLEMS), NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. DO THERE HAVE TO BE DEATHS INVOLVED WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE CHEVY DECIDES FIX THIS ISSUE? THE COMPLAINTS ALSO INCLUDE THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTING A BUNCH OF ATTEMPTED FIXES, WITH SOME OF THEM CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND SOME NOT (THROTTLE BODY BEING ONE). IN THIS STATE, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE, AND ITS NOT DUE TO CUSTOMER ABUSE OR HIGH MILEAGE PARTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVY AND CORRECTED ASAP. WE HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE SEAT BELT FIXED UNDER RECALL, THE A/C UNIT UNDER WARRANTY, AND RECENTLY RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THE POWER STEERING UNIT HAS A RECALL BUT NOT TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL IT FAILS. I EXPECT A CALL FROM CHEVY IN ORDER TO GET THIS ISSUES FIXED AT THEIR COST. I WILL CONTINUE TO POST ON ALL FORUMS, BLOGS, SOCIAL MEDIA, ETC UNTIL THIS IS GIVEN THE PROPER ATTENTION. *TR
