NHTSA Complaint #10667457 — 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

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. *DT
