NHTSA Complaint #11389758 — 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT. THE TRUCK WILL STUTTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON. A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY: SERVICE STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. A SECONDARY MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY AS REDUCING ENGINE POWER AND THEN THE TRUCK WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. ONCE THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES IT WILL USUALLY START BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OVERNIGHT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT USUALLY GOES OFF. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AS THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER DOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A SERVICE STATION AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM.THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 1/20/21 WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.
