2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Electrical System Problems

Had the whole ECM replaced as well as all wire harnesses inspected. Fuse box inspection and retighned. All fuses and relays checked. Ignition switch replacement as well. The code for P1682 went away months but has now returned. Also have replaced battery and few other minor items. The car will go into limp mode randomly on freeway or roads. Almost caused an accident since the power steering stops working as well.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The message "Engine Power Reduced" was displayed. After waiting 20 minutes, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed by the contact's friend, and it was determined that the clock spring had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V614000 (Electrical System), but the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 195,000.

Vehicle constantly has p1682 code and will turn off while driving. Also may just go into low power mode, turn off traction control and have stabile track service needed lights. Vehicle may shake violently as well. If code is reset the car can be driven again until the cycle reappears. Things already changed include ignition switch, ECM, o2 sensors, purge valve, mass air flow sensor.

While driving my traction control turns off and reduces power to the vehicle often stalling it making it hard to safely move to the side of the road.. has been happening since I got the vehicle from a dealership

My car has been having a problem with traction control/service stabilitrak and losing power to the engine since I purchased it. The problem was only occasionally, now it does it EVERYTIME I drive. First it pops up with traction control off message, once that happens it starts to lose power to the engine making the car(heavy car) shudder so bad I cannot drive. The transmission lags on acceleration and it also pops up with "service stabilitrak", "Power loss to engine "And the car will not move until I can pull over and turn it off. Very scary. I have 4 kids and its losing power while Im driving on the highway. Ive replaced sensors, Cleaned the throttle body and also changed spark plugs and changed fuses. It's very dangerous and I found out this is VERY common , especially for my year.

The vehicle stalls while driving at any speed. It has left me on the highway or the middle of an intersection with myself & my kids in danger. The check engine light comes on before the vehicle shuts off completely & loses power & steering. The traction control & stability warning also come on. The vehicle has rolled backwards while in park numerous times so I have to use the parking brake on a regular basis as a safety precaution. The power steering is also an issue. The driver seat belt & air bags make this car a rolling death TRAP. There are past recalls or safety concerns for the traverse that are the exact same issue that I’m having but they are not specific to my vin number so the dealership refuses to address them! Is 7 recalls & they all apply to this vehicle! I’ve attempted to have...

Multiple issues have occurred with this vehicle. I have had major unsafe issues while driving while on the freeway and streets where my vehicle reads traction control off and engine power reduced which leads my vehicle to lose all power and shut down being stranded and almost hit multiple times while by myself and while my husband and children are present. I believe I am the second or third owner of this vehicle and I was never given any information about any recalls

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving 35-40 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The message "Power Reduction" was displayed, and the check engine and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to restart; however, upon attempting to drive, the vehicle shuddered, and the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact scanned the vehicle with a vehicle scanner and retrieved DTC: P1682; which indicated an Emission Switch Circuit Fault. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

I have a 2014 Chevy traverse I got December 2024. Up until 4/16/2025 I noticed a little cutting in and out of the radio and of course took it as the connection being back but yesterday after working I notice my radio isn’t giving out sound , my blinkers not giving sound and neither is my back up camera or seatbelt notifier. I’ve seen a ton of forums online where people are complaint of this same problem so I’m sure since 2014 this issue has been brought up. The question is what is Chevy going to do about it. This fix could be costly. I did get my fuses checked and nothing is bad in that area. What will Chevy recommend me to do?

I was driving along the highway way at 60-65 mph when suddenly service traction control came on and vehicle started jerking and slowing down. As I tried to accelerate it continued to jerk and then just shut off completely. I hit the guard rail/ jersey wall on the drivers side because I had no control of the vehicle due to the vehicle shutting down. Upon taking it to the dealer after getting it home they stated it could be the junction box which is a known issue but they don’t see anything wrong with it and can’t duplicate the problem. I’ve contacted various mechanics and get that it’s an electrical issue that Chevrolet is aware of but refuses to place a recall for it. I could have gotten seriously injured if not killed by this problem and safety issue.

This has happened three times . First time i was driving my vehicle on the street and randomly turned off . The second time this happened i was driving on the freeway at 66 mph & it randomly turned off and the speed was reduced on seconds. This incident was very dangerous to the point were i almost got hit with my family in the vehicle I needed a tow truck to take me home and it was super risky and dangerous because other vehicles were passing about 2 ft away from us and at a high speed. Third time this happened i almost got hit again due to the random shut off and loss of velocity and this time it was a very small gap and space i had and cars kept honking and cars were passing at a one ft distance . once the lights turn on ,...

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was able to restart after waiting a few minutes. The check engine warning light was illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that brake booster system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred approximately seven months later. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was also taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with electrical failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving approximately 75 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle unintendedly decelerated to 40 MPH. The message "Engine Power Reduced" was displayed. The contact pulled to the side of the road and allowed the vehicle to cool down. The contact stated that as he resumed driving, the failure recurred several times. The contact replaced the brake position sensor; however, the failure recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the steering angle position sensor and the BCM were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V614000(Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

My car started lagging while driving and the power was low. And vehicle started shaking. Traction Tire keeps automatically shutting off and through investigation I found it was from TCM or EMC. But when looking at fuse box all fuses look burnt. I noticed there were other recalls on this year of vehicle that could possibly match up with my issue however my specific vehicle only has one incomplete recall. I’d like to know there were any other recalls that were “fixed” I’m not the first owner of this vehicle. I want to know what else I can do before going and buying a part. Electrical is not included in my warranty.

My service airbag light is on

While driving my car, the instrument panel just went blank. My gages all read 0. No speedometer, no battery voltage, no fuel level. The driver information center also shut off. Blinkers would not work, door lock/unlock button did not work after stopping the car. The engine never felt like it lost power and my car would still drive but I could not signal or see how fast I was going.

We have had a recall on our vehicle for over a year now. The finance and car dealership we are leasing our vehicle from is completely useless and has had zero interest in returning my phone call or assisting me in repairing our vehicle. I need emergency assistance ASAP as mine and my families life depend on it.

My airbag warning light came on and the system reported a seatbelt issue. There was a recall for my vehicle in 2014 that wasn’t repaired. Over time my vehicle has had insurmountable electrical issues as well.

While driving, check engine light went on, stabilitrack and traction control went off (information from Driver Information Center) and power was reduced. This occurred several times a week and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation. After safely stopping, I was able to resume travel after turning off engine and restarting, although check engine light would remain on for several on/off cycles. Engine stored code P1682. This has also happened while at a stop and when the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle would stall (sometimes in middle of intersection).

The front airbags have to be replaced there is no replacement part available. My right left blinkers do not always work If airbags can't be fixed then I want them turned off, I would rather risk injury the old fashion way before airbags then to be harmed by metal

2014 Chevy Traverse - stalls while driving very abruptly. Reduce engine power and service stablitrak comes on. Then traction control warning lights flash. Very very dangerous. Happen while driving car begins to shake violently and recently stalled in middle of busy intersection. No way this should not be recalled it's definitely a known issue. Unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to provide a cause for the failure. Towed to Chevy Dealership in Lancaster NY - Basil quoted $4k+ for repair to engine control relay and timing chain. If there is recall on this we will keep and get fixed if not will need to pass and look at other vehicles. Everything starts to go after warranty dates are up or after you hit a certain mileage. We have always purchased GM vehicles my father is GM retiree. Please...

Driver side window stopped working , then passenger window is glitchy, driver side door buttons are not working along with windshield wipers. Replaced battery and did testing to make sure power was getting to components . No check engine lights , no codes or warning issues.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that she pulled off the highway and waited approximately 20 minutes and was able to restart the vehicle, and the vehicle had regained normal functionality. The contact stated that the failure had become a recurring failure. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and retrieved DTC codes that related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V614000 (Electrical System). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

The vehicle has a brake light over the hatch but no bottom brake lights. Replaced bulbs and fuses and brake light switch and still no brake lights. Took it to a shop and they don't know what's wrong. After getting gas I crunk car, put it in drive and car started going in reverse and front air wouldn't work either but back air did. It seems to be an electrical issue. Just got vehicle in June of 2023. The brake light issue needs attention immediately very dangerous. I've been behind an Acadia and an Equinox and noticed they don't have bottom brake lights either. The spare tire is also too low and squeaky when operating vehicle and can fall of while driving. Please fix these issues it's very dangerous and very upsetting.

All the dash lights go out. Very dangerous especially at night. sometimes turning on another electrical device will restore, sometimes shutting vehicle down and restarting will help. have tried covering/ cleaning light sensor, no help. just have to wait until it decides to work. started about 6 years ago. getting progressively worse. no warning lights. had independent mechanic check it, he says problem with instrument cluster. hard to tell as it was working when he looked at it. I need your support before this causes an accident.2014 Chevrolet Traverse. 69,200 miles

The display on the speedometer is barely visible. It is called the Driver Information Center, but is attached to the speedometer. I am not able to see any information on it most of the time, particularly the day. The safety issue is I can not tell if my tires are to pressure, if my oil needs to be changed. I can not see the odometer. I have seen many people online have this issue. Someone's fix that seems to have worked for a few people is replacing the speedometer, which would be fine but then you have to get it reprogrammed by the dealer. Which is even more money for something that is essential to work in a car.

I had to replace the two Modules under the rear bumper one on each side. It was warning me service side detection system on my dash. I took it to parsons Chevrolet in Antigo and they told me this is so common on the traverses they swell up and they make the whole car not run. I had to have it towed to the dealership and spend over $1000 to get it repaired. I was wondering about compensation for this. I’m just shocked if it’s happening to all these vehicles how can there not be a recall issued for a large amount of these happening. Please let me know thank you.

Traction control said off light on. Car shut down power failure. Car shaking as it stopped in traffic almost causing an accident. Barely made off road. I have seen other multiple complaints and no way to fix this problem. It is a death sentence on the highway. With no other transportation for me.

While driving, check engine light went on, stabilitrack and traction control went off (information from Driver Information Center) and power was reduced. This occurred several times over a period of two to three weeks and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation and luckily it never happened at highway speeds in one of the left lanes of traffic. After safely stopping, I was able to resume travel after turning off engine and restarting, although check engine light would remain on for several on/off cycles. Engine stored code P1682. Brought to dealer service and they repaired per TSB #19-NA-276 related to issues in fuse box. Repair was $406.48. This is a known issue with manufacturer. Also, many owners have mentioned this safety issue on Internet forums and YouTube videos.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle began to stall and then seized. The contact stated that the low fuel level warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving to his destination. The contact stated he had experienced the failure on three different occasions. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V223000 (Electrical System, Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Airbags light turns off & on. Then my vehicle will reset itself while driving. All gauges & lights turn off in vehicle & I have to pull over, turn the car on & off for it to work. Vehicle airbag will also make a popping sound when airbag light turns on & off. Vehicle turns off while driving & fuel light will say full then drop to empty. Power steering will go out & turn back on randomly.

Side blind zone detection system reported service required in the driver information center. Upon further investigation drivers side model PN 22844861 was swollen with corrosion. This eventually led to other issues on the vehicle including the turn signals dash information and air bag warning and remote key fob not working. GM issued service bulletin 16-NA-178 for repair. I initiated a case number with GM 9-7646907751. I also found GM N172097060 special coverage for the same issue for the 2013-2014 GMC Acadia, which uses the same system as the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. I would like to get this resolved by GM and I’m unsure why they do not include the Chevrolet Traverse and the Buick Enclave for this special coverage for Side Blind Zone Alert Module Water Intrusion.

The fuse block/box has been identified, as the problem by the manufacturer and reported to the dealer service centers. There have been numerous complaints filed on the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse fuse block. Service techs were instructed (years ago) to look at the fuse block when the following problems were reported by the owner. If they knew to instruct their techs to look at the fuse block/box, then they knew it was defective - it should have been recalled/replaced at that time. Since it wasn't, there have been ongoing safety risk to many vehicle owners and passengers. It has also required owners to pay hundreds of dollars to repair/replace the known defective part; I just paid $965.00. While driving at any speed, the car will begin shaking/jerking; dashboard messages begin: Engine Power is Reduced, Traction Control Off, Service Stabilitrak, along with the Service Engine light. In the city, before you can...

The electrical system malfunctioned. My car is available upon request for inspection. The lives of myself and my children was at risk. I have not taken my car to a dealer to be inspected, I shouldn’t have to pay the dealer over $100 just to inspect my vehicle for a manufacturer’s defect, especially because there is/was a recall for this exact issue. Recall #14515. I have video of my car doing exactly what is stated in the recall on a different day than the first incident. I was driving on the highway with my 3 children and all of a sudden the lights on my dashboard start lighting up the warning bell starts ringing and the dash displays the messages, “ engine power is reduced, service traction control, service stabilitrack, traction control off.” When this happened my car suddenly slowed down on its own and then ultimately just turned off....

There is a problem with the stabilitrak system that causes the vehicle to shut off while driving. This turns off the traction control and reduces power to 3 cylinders, thus causing the vehicle to go into limp mode and can cause an accident. This problem is intermittent and the dealers can't seem to find the underlying issue. It will happen whole parked, stopped at an intersection or driving at highway speeds. I have had this happen while driving in heavy traffic on the freeway and in the number one lane. My vehicle lost power and I had to try and negotiate three traffic lanes to stop along side the freeway. I had to put the transmission in park and shut the engine off for 15 seconds in order to clear the code and safely proceed back into traffic. The check engine light remains on for a period of time, but...

Stabilitrak control light comes on and doesnt turn off for hours or days, especially during long rides. Vehicle jerks and takes longer to get up to speed.

One day as I was driving on the freeway, the vehicle's engine light/airbag light came on and the vehicle then went into "engine power reduced mode" I was lucky to be close to a turn-off. I was able to get the vehicle off the road safely. I turned off the vehicle and check it. Then turned the vehicle back on and all lights were off. It was shocking, the car was driving normally. I did not think twice and took it to the dealership. They told us it was just the battery and airbag sensor. Thankful they changed it, no cost to us. But later this happened again, this time it was the "engine light and traction control off". We have no idea what it is. Because we have taken the vehicle to a mechanic to get checked, but they can't seem to find anything wrong with it. This happens...

Replaced alternator 1 yr ago when my battery suddenly died. Fast forward to now it seems that the new alternator is failing in some capacity because of an improper design. The volt meter would drop below 14 while driving and have seen other reports from other Traverse owners with the same issue. Please issue a recall.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. Dealership is unsure what exactly is the issue with the vehicle. While driving the vehicle out of nowhere the engine stalls and the 'engine power is reduced', 'service traction control', 'service stability track' and 'service air bag' messages illuminate across the dash. While these messages display there is no acceleration to the vehicle. This makes it very dangerous to drive.

On more than 5 occasions my car will say “traction control off” and “reduced engine power” then just shut down. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident. I took it in serval times and mechanics report that there is not issue that they can see. The check engine light with come on and off randomly.

THE VIN OF MY CAR SHOULD BE PART OF THE GROUP OF AIR BAG RECALL. THE AIR BAG SYMBOL IS ACTIVATING IN THE VEHICLE DASH BOARD, AND IT IS OF A GREAT CONCERN THAT IT GOT OVERSEEN. I THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT IT DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL. I WANT TO REPORT THIS BEFORE A SAFETY RISK HAPPENS.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON THE THE CAR WILL START DECREASING SPEED OR JUST SHUT OFF. THEN IT WILL NOT START UP FOR A FEW MINUTES. VERY UNSAFE ON HIGHWAY

THE TRAVERSE RANDOMLY LOSES POWER AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND A MESSAGE STATING VEHICLE REDUCING POWER APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY. THE ENGINE THEN CUTS OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME RECENTLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 65 MPH. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY WITH THE LATEST OCCURRENCE 01/20/2021. ONCE THE TRUCK SITS FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 MINUTES THE VEHICLE WILL START AND RUN. SOMETIMES THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. TYPICALLY ONCE THE VEHICLE SITS OVERNIGHT THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF BY ITSELF. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN A COUPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

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...

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNEXPECTEDLY GET ERROR MESSAGES, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND TIME I LOST ALL POWER AND WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE

WHILE IN MOTION VEHICLE GOES UP TO THE THIRD RPM BEFORE TAKING OFF. VEHICLE ALSO JERKS WHEN PICKING UP SPEED. THE LIGHTING SYSTEM COMES ON AND OFF DURING A RIDE AT RANDOM REGARDLESS OF THE TIME OF DAY. VEHICLE MAKES LOUD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING.

WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE IT WILL START UP AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN I'VE TRIED TO GET A PROGRAM READING FROM A REPAIR SHOP, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD RESET ITSELF AND NO READING WAS AVAILABLE. AT OTHER TIMES THE CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL... AND I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE BATTERY.

THE AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICE GOING ON AND OFF BUT DOESN'T SHOW A CODE AT DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING SPEED REDUCES TO 15MPH OUT OF NOWHERE ONCE RESTARTED NO CODES SHOW. CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON JUST EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNEXPECTEDLY GET ERROR MESSAGES, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. NOW INSTEAD OF REDUCING ENGINE TO 3 CYLINDERS THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AS THERE IS NO POWER TO MANEUVER THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY CHEVROLET REPAIR CENTER THAT THIS IS DUE TO A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 14V614000.0

PLEASE ASSOCIATED THIS COMPLAINT WITH TRACKING #11352061. I WANTED TO PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL PICTURES. I'VE WATCHED AND READ A RECALL REGARDING THESE ISSUES WITH SEVERAL CHEVROLET MODELS OVER THE YEARS AND OVER 1.37 MILLION VEHICLES WERE RECALLED. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. ATTACHED IS THE CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROBLEM. AGAIN I OWN A 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT WARNINGS HAVE COME UP TWICE IN 1 WEEK.
