Consumer Description

FOR NO REASON THE SERVICE STABILTRAK LIGHT COMES ON. THE GAGES START GOING ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS, CITY ROADS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP "WHO SAID I CANT MAKE IT RECIPROCATE SO I JUST REPROGRAMMED THE TCM, AND IF THAT DOESNT WORK I WILL RECOMMEND ANEW TCM." IN SHORT THEY HAVE NO IDEA. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS ABLE TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT BACK TO THE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM MODULE VS COMM MODULE. HOWEVER. I THINK THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT. CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON TRAVERSE FORUMS. NHSTA PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE.
