2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SMELLS HOT THEN START TO DRIVE OFF AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND ABS GO WILD THEN I PULL OVER TURN OFF THE ENGINE OPEN THE HOOD AND THERE'S SMOKE LETTING IT COOL THE KEY WON'T REVERSE OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THERE'S NO POWER AT ALL

TIMES 2- AGAIN I GET THE STABILITRAK WARNING. CRUISE WILL NOT WORK, POWERS DOWN TRYING TO EXCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIX THIS SENSE THERE IS NO CODE COMING UP FOR IT EVEN THOUGH THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND FLASHING ON MY DASH. TRYING TO ACCELERATE IT WILL POWER DOWN AT LIGHTS, ON INTERSTATE ETC.

2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE: WHILE DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS START FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF AND ON, NOT LETTING YOU ACCELERATE AND SLOWING THE CAR DOWN RAPIDLY. THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF AND VEHICLE IDOLS ROUGH. IF I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE IS NO REPOSE FROM THE VEHICLE. WE DO NOT TREAT THE VEHICLE HASH OR DRIVE WILD. I DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR A LOT OF REPAIRS. I CHANGE THE OIL WHEN IT'S TIME AND MAKE SURE ITS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND GM HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. DEATH IS A MAJOR POSSIBILITY IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE TODAY.

DRIVING MY CAR ON THE STREET AND HEARD 3 BEEPS GO OFF AND CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. STABILITRAK WARNING, TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS. TRIED PUSHING ON PEDAL TO GO AND CAR COULDN'T PICK UP SPEED. TURN CAR OFF LET SIT TRIED AGAIN 30 SECONDS LATER SAME. HAD THE THROTTLE SWITCH WORKED COUPLE DAYS AND NOW ITS HAPPEN AGAIN

THE VEHICLES CONTROL PANEL DISPLAYS MULTIPLE ERRORS SUCH AS ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, PARK ASSIST OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, BRAKE (IN RED), ABS AND ALL THE GAGES GO UP AND DOWN, AUTOMATIC LOCKS-LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAYS. ATTEMPTING TO PULL THE CAR OVER, THE TRANSMISSION WONT GO INTO PARK. MULTIPLE TIMES IT WON'T START AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE FAILS TO GAIN SPEED WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHEN DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED

TRAVERSE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT COME ON AND OFF ALL THE TIME. MAKING THINK THAT CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ALL OF THE TIME THAT THE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN WE ARR DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON A FLAT SURFACE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT ON HIGHWAY WITH 130,000 MILES ON IT WHEN MY TRAVERSE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED OUT WITH CARS FLYING UP ON ME AT 65-70 MPH,I FINALLY COSTED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND TECHS COULDN'T FIGURE THIS OUT , AFTER A WEEK OF SERVICE TECHS COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, I WAS FINALLY NOTIFIED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MOTOR AND ELECTRICAL AND IT'S NOT WORTH FIXING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO WITH THIS .

REDUCED POWER ON VECHILE WITH DASH LIGHTS INDICATING CHECK STABILE TRACK. SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS. HAPPENED 3 TIMES FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND HARNESS FOR $550. NO RECALLS? 110,000 MILES. VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE CAR SLOW DOWN ON HIGHWAY DURING WINTER CONDITIONS.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR BEING DRIVEN THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF, THE STABILIZER GOES OUT, AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCES. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I LOST POWER GOING FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO 25-30 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR 15 MINUTES AND STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. I HADN'T GONE FAR AND ALL THE WARNINGS CAME UP AGAIN AND POWER WAS REDUCED. WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN THE SAME THING HAPPENS AND I CAN BE GOING 25 MPH AND THE POWER GOES DOWN TO 10 MPH. WARNING LIGHTS SAY TRACTION 'CONTROL OFF, STABILIZER OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR BEING DRIVEN!!!

MY TRAVERSE HAS BEEN LOOSING POWER TRACK CONTROL CUTS OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. AT TIMES IT DOESN'T SHIFT GEARS. WHEN THE TEMP GETS DOWN IN THE 30'S IT MESSES UP. CAN'T GO VERT FAR WITHOUT IT STOPPING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THROTTLE BOTTLE SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE GAS PEDAL TO STICK WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. SERVICE STABILITY TRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING

MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY PAVED ROAD THEN MY DASH FLASHED TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, AND THEN IT JUST SLOWED DOWN TO 10MPH AND I COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. I PULLED OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 5 MINUTES. IT STARTED AND RAN WELL TILL I GOT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN A 72 HOUR PERIOD. PLEASE GO TO THIS VIDEO LINK TO SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH A TRAVERSE [XXX]. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2017 WITH ONE OWNER HAVING HAD IT. HERE IT IS NOW 2 YEARS LATER AND I HAVE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. SOME OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD BUT IT STILL ISN'T PART OF A RECALL. THE PAST YEAR I HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $1000 TO FIX IT. ITEMS ALREADY REPLACED INCLUDE SEVERAL SENSORS, WHEEL BEARING, POWER STEERIG PUMP AND A BATTERY. WHAT STILL NEEDS REPLACING: RACK AND PINYON, SHOCKS AND STRUTS, AND I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, MY WINDOWS GO DOWN BUT WON'T GO UP BECAUSE THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND MY RADIO CUTS IN AND OUT. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE CAR AND NO ONE IS HELPING. OTHER USERS HAVE REPORTED SOME OF THE SAME THING. IF I GO TO MY MECHANIC HE TELLS ME THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT MY MAKE AND...

STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE. PROBLEMS ERUPTED AFTER I FINISHED PAYING IT OFF. I HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 YEARS NOW AND 100K MILES NOW. FOR THE PAST YEAR THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. AT FIRST I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SPENT OVER $3500 TO FIX IT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. THE DEALER WAS ASKING FOR ALMOST $4000 STATING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE NOT FIXED BEFORE. EVEN A MECHANIC FROM THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING WITH SAME ISSUES. AT FIRST THE "TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF" COMES ON THE SCREEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM". NOW AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON THE SAME MESSAGES APPEAR. JUST A WEEK AGO I...

TRACTION CONTROL WENT HAYWIRE WHILE GOING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR, IT STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, "TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. RPMS REVVED UP TO 5K. IT HAS DONE IT 4 TIME WITHIN A 24 HOUR PERIOD. MECHANIC HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND IT DETECTED NOTHING. ONLY THING THAT SHOWED UP WAS THAT IT LOST CONNECTION TO THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED IT, IT SEEMED LIKE IT WENT OUT OF GEAR WHILE THE RPMS WENT HIGH, IT FELT AS IF I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE GOING AROUND 25 MPH.

BOUGHT A 2011 TRAVERSE A MONTH AGO WITH 93705 MILES ON IT. ON THE DRIVE HOME THE LIGHTS OF THE DASH CAME ON AND SAID TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT WOULDN'T GO PAST 20 MPH (MIND YOU I'M ON A BUSY STREET WITH MY FOUR KIDS). WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I GOT IT FROM AND AM WAITING FOR A CALL BACK.

STABILITRACK NEEDS SERVICED , ABS LIGHT ON , TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE . POWER LOSS . JUST DRIVING THROUGH TOWN APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND ALL ERRORS STARTED FLASHING . THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN . I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESULTS

2011 TRAVERSE HAVING A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND LOSS OF ACCELERATION FOLLOWED BY ERROR MESSAGES FOR BOTH THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK SYSTEMS AND MORE LIGHTS LIKE BRAKES AND AIR BAG AND ECT..

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY CAR LOST POWER, IT SHOWED "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" AND THEN "SERVICE STABILATRACK" I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND IT WILL NOT RESTART. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAITING TO HESR FROM THEM.

I HAVE HAD THE 2001 CHEVY TRAVERSE FOR 1 YEAR NOW. BOUGHT IT USED FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE TRACTION CONTROL/ STABILITRAK WARNING HAS COME ON NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEAR, BUT HAS COME ON EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO LOSS OF POWER LIKE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, BUT IT DOES KNOCK OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE READY TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. OUR VEHICLE IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND WHEN WE HIT A STOP AND TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE VEHICLE LUNGES. LOSS OF SPEED DOWN TO 10-15 MPH IMMEDIATLY. WE HAVE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY AND THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS.

WITHOUT WARNING, I GET AN ALERT ON MY INFORMATION PANEL THAT STABILITRAK IS OFF AND TRACTION CONTROL NEEDS SERVICING. AT THE SAME TIME, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS HARD AND RAPIDLY DECELERATES. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT RANDOM TIMES RESULTING IN AN EMISSION ERROR CODE. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. A MONTH LATER, SAME ERROR CODE. THIS CURRENT PROBLEM HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE IN MOTION ONLY.

WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 45 MPH MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKED AND THE CAR SHIFTED SO HARD I AM SURPRISED I DID NOT WRECK MY VEHICLE WITH MY SON AND INFANT DAUGHTER. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DO THE LOCK SWITCHING AND NUMEROUS LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON MY DASH. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH NONETHELESS. I HAVE HAD MORE SENSORS, WATER PUMP ETC. THAT YOU CAN EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS BY FAR THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BY A CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICES TWO DAYS AGO AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON. I AM NOT EVEN SHOCKED AT THIS POINT. I AM SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE THAT WE ENCOUNTERED....

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL RECALL I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 60 MPH THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, THE FIRST WARNING SAID 'TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF', IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL', THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER WARNING LIGHT "SERVICE STABILITRACK", THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER WARNING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 MPH IMMEDIATELY DOWN TO 20 MPH. REMIND YOU THAT WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS IMMEDIATELY TURNED INTO A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE NOT REAR ENDED, AND CAUSE HUGE PILE UP. WE MANAGED TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER, WE ARE STILL NOT OUT OF DANGER AS SEMI TRUCKS, CARS, ARE DRIVING BY US AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS. OUR CAR WAS BEING BLOWN SIDE TO SIDE FROM THE WIND FORCE FROM THESE VEHICLES. MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS...

I PURCHASED THIS 2011 TRAVERSE USED IN 2013 WITH APPROXIMATELY 28,000 MILES ON IT IN AURORA, CO. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 118,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD WARNING LIGHTS ON THE ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMS COME ON, ALONG WITH ERROR MESSAGES INDICATING STABILITY CONTROL AND AWD ARE DEACTIVATED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THAT DO NOT RESET UPON RESTARTING THE CAR. TODAY, I EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS LOSSES OF ENGINE POWER, AS THOUGH THE CAR HAD DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL, WHILE DRIVING SURFACE STREETS AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35MPH. DESPITE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED DOWN TO 10-15MPH FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. RESEARCH ONLINE IN THE CHEVROLET FORUMS INDICATES A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE, BUT SHOWS NO CORPORATE INVESTIGATION OR RECALL INTO THIS, THOUGH MANY PEOPLE REPORT SIMILAR LOSSES OF POWER ON HIGHWAYS AT 60+MPH, SUDDENLY DROPPING TO 10MPH. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IN TRAFFIC IF SUCH A LOSS OF POWER OCCURS AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRAVERSE MY TRACTION CONTROL WILL TURN OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK WILL COME ON AND IT WILL SAY ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND WILL SLOWLY START TO SLOW DOWN. IF YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY TO HIT THE GAS AGAIN IT WILL SHAKE AND KIND OF STUDDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CITY STREET WAS ON A CURVY ROAD AND THE HIGHWAY WAS A STRAIGHTAWAY. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION. IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR 10-15 SECONDS AND RESTART IN WHICH SOMETIMES IT WOULD STOP FOR A WHILE AND OTHERS IT WOULD ONLY STOP FOR A MILE OR LESS. THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR IT HAS DONE IT AND BOTH YEARS IT HAS DONE IT IN THE COLD. LAST YEAR WE CLEANED THE WHEEL SENSORS AND IT...

THE CAR WILL GO INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SLOW YOUR SPEED WITH LITTLE WARNING WHILE SAYING TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE AND STABITRAC SERVICE

WHILE DRIVING THE SENSOR COMES ON AND SAYS THE STABILITY CONTROL IS OFF. THEN TURNING THE STABILITY CONTROL BACK ON BY THE BUTTON IT RESETS. THEN DRIVING IT AGAIN IT GOES BACK OFF. SOME TIMES IT RESETS BY IT SELF BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. THEN THE SENOR DOESN'T GO OFF. YET THEN THE NEXT TIME IT IS RESTARTED IT GOES BACK OFF. DRIVING DOWN ANY ROAD NO WATER OR ICE ON ROAD AT ALL COMPLETELY DRY.

MY STABILITRAK HAS BEEN GOING IN AND OUT FOR YEARS WITH NO ISSUES. I HAD IT CHECKED BUT TOLD IT WAS OK. NOW IT HAS STARTED STALLING ON ME. AND I WAS SLIGHTLY REAR ENDED LAST NIGHT ON VACATION. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET 1 800 # AND TOLD NO RECALL ON THIS. HOWEVER ON LINE IS HUNDREDS OF ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL. SO OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS IT HAS BEEN GOING FREQUENTLY. THE STEERING IS JUST MAKING NOISES AND CRUNCHING SOUNDS WHEN TURNING

AS I WAS DRIVING MY TRACTION COMTROL WENT OUT AND IS TELLING ME TO SERVICE STABILITRACK..I JUST REPLACE THE THROTTLE NOT EVEN 2 YEARS AGO

IN JANUARY 2016, MY VEHICLE STARTED HAVING STABILITY TRACK ISSUES. IT GOT SO BAD I HAD THE CAR SIT UP FOR A MONTH THEN CALLED A MECHANIC OUT TO DIAGNOSIS THE CAR. THEY SENT ME TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED SOMETHING WITHIN THE STEERING, BUT THAT DID NOT STOP MY STABILITRAK FROM MALFUNCTIONING. WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITRAK LIGHT TURNS ON AND SAYS IT NEEDS SERVICING. THEN IT MAKES THE ENGINE SLOW DOWN AND IT STARTS STALLING SO WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON FOR IT TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN WITHIN MINUTES. IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON IT TURNS IT OFF STARTS TO STALL AND PUTS MY FAMILY AND I IN DANGER, I JUST THANK GOD WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ALLEVIATE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. IT'S BEEN ONE MINOR ACCIDENT BUT BECAUSE WE WERE ALREADY GOING SLOW IT DIDN'T...

JUNE 24, 2017 DRIVING AT 70MPH ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AROUND 85 DEGREES AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER, SPEED DROPPED QUICKLY, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STOPPED CAR ON SIDE OF ROAD. NARROWLY AVOIDED ACCIDENT FROM SUDDEN DECELERATION. TURNED OFF ENGINE AND WAITED ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND RESTARTED ENGINE. DROVE OK AFTER THAT. HAD SIMILAR LOSS OF POWER WITH WARNING LIGHTS OF "POWER REDUCED" AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FEBRUARY 2017 IN GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. LEFT ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR AND THEN RESTARTED OK BUT ACCELERATION SLUGGISH. TOOK CAR TO AUTO MECHANIC AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I OWN A 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE AND THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE ON MY WIFE LAST WEEKEND. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR HER AND MY KIDS AS THEY WERE ON A MOUNTAIN GOING INTO A CURVE. SHE LOST ALL CONTROL OF STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS AND OR HELP FROM GM ON GETTING THIS CAR REPAIRED. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I AM JUST GLAD MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE FINE. THE OUTCOME COULD OF BEEN DIFFERENT AS THEY DESCRIBED IT TO ME. PLEASE GET BACK WITH ME ASAP ON THIS MATTER. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT, BY TOWING THIS BACK TO MY HOUSE AND TO THE SHOP IT HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. I THINK IT CAUSED THE MOTOR TO MESS UP AS WELL. SO, I AM LOOKING FOR HELP IN THIS MATTER. LOOKS LIKE THE DESIGN OF THIS IS...

IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NORMALLY WHEN THERE IS SNOW ON THE ROADS, I WILL BE DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRACTION STABILIZER CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING QUICKLY COMING TO A HALT. EVEN THOUGH I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL NO ACCELERATION HAPPENS. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART. THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE THE TRACTION STABLIZER CONTROL/ABS STAY ON UNTIL I COME TO MY DESTINATION. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL OUT ON THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, THANKFULLY THIS CAR IS DRIVEN JUST TO AND FROM WORK FOR SHORT DISTANCES. PLEASE NOTIFY ME ONCE A RECALL HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE.

TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON STATING TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND ENGINE POWER REDUCES TO 20 MPH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE PASS 20MPH I WAS ON [XXX] TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND REDUCED POWER TO 20MPH NO THROTTLE. THIS OCCURRED 4 TIMES WITHIN AN HOUR. THE THIRD TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDNT GO OFF. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THIS SEEMED TO RESET IT BUT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH UPHILL, THE VEHICLE LOST TRACTION CONTROL AND ACCELERATION. THE SERVICE STABILITRACK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

A BEEP OCCURS AND AN ERROR - NO TRACTION CONTROL OFF - SERVICE STABILITRACK - ENGINE POWER REDUCED; THE VEHICLE HAS 110K MILES AND THIS HAVE NEVER HAPPEND BEFORE. THESE ERRORS HAVE ACCURED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND ALSO RIGHT AS YOU START IT UP. DEALERSHIP HAS OFFED TO "TRY TO FIX" THE ISSUE FOR THE TUNE OF $5000 HOWEVER THEY DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL ACTULLY FIX THE ISSUE. SO CHEVY WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?

TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON STATING TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND ENGINE POWER REDUCES TO 20 MPH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE PASS 20MPH I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND REDUCED POWER TO 20MPH NO THROTTLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN (NO MORE THAN 30 MPH), A BEEP OCCURS AND AN ERROR - NO TRACTION CONTROL - SERVICE STABILITRACK - ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I AM THEN UNABLE TO GO OVER 10 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AT THE END OF THIS. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, STOP MY CAR AND RESTART IN ORDER TO ASSUME REGULAR SPEED, HOWEVER, IT DID HAPPEN TWICE IN A DRIVE THAT WAS ONLY 10 MILES LONG.

2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE. SPORADICALLY DECELERATES WHILE DRIVING, FLASHES TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND SERVICE STABILTRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. PULL OVER AND LET IT "REST" FOR 15 MINUTES, IT WILL RESUME DRIVING. HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS ISSUE "REPAIRED" FROM CHEVY STORE10 MONTHS AGO. MOSTLY OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION, ONCE WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON HWY DECELERATED TO 35 MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT. NOW DEALERSHIP IS SUGGESTING I MAKE ANOTHER EXPENSIVE FIX, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS CAR IS A LEMON!!!! TODAY WE ARE BLOCKING TRAFFIC IN A PARKING DECK BECAUSE IT HAS DECIDED TO HAPPEN AGAIN, NO DRIVE, BUT REVERSE WORKS FINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40MPH, SERVICE STABILITRAK/ SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNINGS CAME ON. WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE ENGINE CUT OUT AND I WAS JUST ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AFTER 4 FUEL INJECTORS WERE CLOGGED REQUIRING NEW INJECTORS, NEW OXYGEN SENSORS AND DAMAGE TO ALL THREE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. AIR BAG WARNINGS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, AS DO THE TIRE SENSOR WARNINGS. I'M NOW FINDING OUT THAT THESE STABILITRAK ISSUES HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS WITH VARIOUS CHEVY AWD MODELS, WHILE GM DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE IN FEB. OF 2015, SO I BELIEVED IT TO BE A FAIRLY NEW CAR IN GOOD SHAPE. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER THE GAS HAND BECOMES FAULTY AND IS NOT SHOWING THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS, AND STARTS FLUCTUATING. NEXT I'M RIDING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND READS LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND SHUTS OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. NOW I AM FREAKING OUT WITH ME AND MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND OTHERS FLYING AROUND ME DOING 75 TO 80 MPH TO MY DECREASING SPEED. I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AS CARS AND TRUCKS ARE SPEEDING AROUND AND HONKING AT ME. THE TRUCK DIES AND I BARELY MANAGE TO GET TO THE SIDE SO THAT I WOULD NOT BE HIT. I THEN GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL...

WHILE DRIVING ERRORS POP UP FOR STABILTRAK/TRACTION CONTROL/ENGINE POWER REDUCED THEN YOU GET ABOUT THEN YOU LOSE ABOUT 20% TO 60% OF POWER. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 25 MPH. THE STABILITRAC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON ROUTE 30 WHEN THE FOLLOWING APPEARS:SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,SERVICE STABILITRACK,ENGINE POWER REDUCED. CALLED CHEVY DEALER BY WORK IN MERRILLVILLE IN NO APPT UNTIL TODAY .CALLED DEALERSHIP BY HOME WAS TOLD NO APPT UNTIL TODAY AT 1PM. INQUIRES IF WAS ISSUE IN WHICH LETTER DATED IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND WAS NO. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT IS THE ISSUE STATED IN LETTER. HAVE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT VEHICLE TO HAVE IT CO WEED UNDER WARRANTY.CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK AND WAS TOLD CLOSE TO $500.00 FOR REPAIRS AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE NOW VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE MILEAGE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE PART WAS CHANGED AFTER LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER 2015. VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER 120,000 MILES. HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT I IT. AIR CONDITIONING,WATER PUMP,WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP NOW THROTTLE BODY. HOW DOES THE DEALERSHIP...

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK EARLY JANUARY 18,2016 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, NOT A MINUTE LATER MY STEERING WENT OUT AND I HIT A ROAD SIGN. I HAD TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL BEFORE LEAVING MY HOUSE AS INSTRUCTED BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE GM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. TOOK MY 2011 TRAVERSE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SAME DAY. LIGHTS STILL ON, AND BY THE TIME I GOT IT THERE THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING TERRIBLY, THEY DIAGNOSE IT AS THROTTLE BODY CODES PO221-PO121 & PO300. THEY FIXED THAT PROBLEM, BUT TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WANTED A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, NOW I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE EVEN WITH THE REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE.

1/5/16 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY TOWN, TAKING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, AND THE CAR REDUCED FROM 40MPH TO 20MPH. THE CAR GAVE A MESSAGE ON THE DASH STATING "SERVICE STABILITRACK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER". I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED, AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR RAN OK UNTIL 1/14/16, WHEN THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED- I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR REDUCED SPEED TO 20MPH WITH THE SAME "SERVICE STABILITRACK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MESSAGE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND IS CURRENTLY THERE WAITING FOR THE THROTTLE BODY TO ARRIVE AND BE REPLACED.

SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE... 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH INTERMITTENT AND SPORADIC EPISODES OF "TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED" BETWEEN 60,000 AND 110,000 MILES. I COULD BE DEAD MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST 3.5 YEARS DURING WORK COMMUTE ON 70MPH, 4 LANE HIGHWAY. PROBLEM RESOLVES FOR UNKNOWN AND UNRELIABLE AMTS OF TIME... EVEN AFTER RECOMMENDED FIXES. GM MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE DIE! I HAVE MADE SURE TO KEEP ALL DOCUMENTAION AND NAMES, FILE #S AND COMPLAINTS, SO THAT IF/WHEN A DISASTER HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY OR OTHERS, THERE WILL BE NO QUESTION AS TO FAULT.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE DIC DISPLAY ERROR READS STABILITRAK NEEDS SERVICING, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT SLOWED ME DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 25 MPH IN LESS THAN 20 SECONDS. I HAD TO GET OVER 3 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC ONTO THE SHOULDER. THIS VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS WITH GM VEHICLES REGARDING THIS ISSUE. JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED?
