NHTSA Complaint #11181929 — 2016 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

WHILE DRIVING 75 ON A FREEWAY THE SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED AND I COULDN'T GO OVER 40MPH ALL AT ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LIMPED OFF THE FREEWAY WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, THANK GOD AND BROUGHT TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME ISSUE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS ON THE SAME VEHICLE AND OTHER CHEVROLET VEHICLES. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN TO DIAGNOSE A MORE GENERAL ISSUE THAT COULD BE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE TESTED WITHOUT REPLACING HUNDREDS OR POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PARTS. IT COULD BE EVEN BE ONE OF A VARIETY OF SENSORS ON THE VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WITH SUCH A HIGH TECH COMPUTER ON THE VEHICLE, HOW IS IT THAT THERE IS NOT A SPECIFIC PROBLEM CODE OR LIGHT TO TELL YOU OR A MECHANIC WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. SECONDLY THAT A GENERAL CODE COMING UP ON A CAR SHOULD NOT BE POWERING THE ENGINE DOWN SO DRASTICALLY. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF THERE WAS SOMEONE RIGHT BEHIND ME. THIS IS A HAZARD WORTH A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF IT.
