NHTSA Complaint #11202866 — 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SUDDENLY DRIVE ROUGH AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OR A BLOWN TIRE OR SOMETHING. I LOST POWER AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. THINGS BEGAN TO LIGHT UP ON MY DASH ABOUT THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM NEEDING SERVICING. THIS WAS TERRIFYING SINCE CARS WERE FLYING BY ME AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE EVEN ON LOCAL ROADS AT SLOWER SPEEDS SUCH AS 30MPH. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND FAMILIES ARE IN THESE VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE. I AM ALSO GETTING A CHECK ENGINE CODE FOR TIMING. MY VEHICLE IS JUST AT 70K MILES AND I USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER TO/FROM WORK AND PRIMARILY JUST IN MY TOWN. FURTHEST I DRIVE IS 20 MINUTES DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO A RELATIVE AND BACK. PLEASE FIX THIS WITH A RECALL! IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! THE RECALL SHOULDN'T BE ISSUED ONCE THERE IS A TRAGIC DEATH, IT SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE!! I'VE ALREADY HAD TO DEAL WITH MY WIPE BLADES COMING OFF AND HITTING EACH OTHER BECAUSE THE BOLTS CAME LOOSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME IN HEAVY RAIN AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT! THIS STABILITRAK AND TIMING RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
