Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE OF THE TRAVERSE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT BUT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ON A 2 LANE ROAD THAT GETS A LOT OF FAST TRAFFIC AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY.CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN BUT ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON.TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT LIT UP BRIEFLY A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF ENGINE SHUT OFF-THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED-SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NO ONE IS TAKING THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE ROAD! THIS IS SO CRAZY DANGEROUS-SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE ROAD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.
