2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Electrical System Problems

BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WITH STABILITAK AND SENSORS. MY CAR STARTS SHAKING ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED TO 10-15 MPH. TAKEN IT TO DEALESHIP 6 DIFFERENT TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THAT THEY CAN FIGURE OUT. ALMOST GOT HIT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR ABRUPTLY WENT DOWN TO 15MPH WITHOUT ANY WARNING. CAR BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SIDE TO AVOID IMPACT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M DRIVING OR SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT IT HAPPENS AT ALL DIFFERENT TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE MY STABILITY TRACK LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LOSS OF POWER THE CAR JERKS CANNOT CONTROL IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE THIS IS NOVEMBER 1, 2017 THAT HAPPENED OR FIVE TIMES ALREADY CALL TODAY TO COMPLAIN TO CHEVY MY CAR IS NOW THE DEALERSHIP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT

ON OCTOBER 13, 2017 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH. WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR DE-ACCELERATED ITS VELOCITY AT 15 TO 20 MPH. THEN NOTICE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYING TRACTION CONTROL ON AND CYCLING TO OFF. IT ALSO DISPLAYED STABILIZER CONTROL SERVICE WITH A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENED WHEN VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO COME TO A REDUCE SPEED ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE RISK OF GETTING HIT ON THE BACK OR TAIL OF THE VEHICLE. HAD TO PULL OVER CHANGING FROM ONE OF THE TWO MIDDLE LANES AT SLOW VELOCITY WHICH WAS A DANGEROUS MANEUVER TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. I'VE READ THIS SAME ISSUE ON LINE WITH OTHER OWNERS ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THEREFORE A RECALL OR AN INVESTIGATION WITH THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE DONE.

SERVICE STABILITRAK, REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRACTION CONTROL OFF WARNINGS ALL CAME ON WITH NO WARNING OR REASON. VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MANY CHEVY MODELS AND YEARS.

14 TRAVERSE FUEL LOW LIGHT STAYS ON, EVEN AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE UP WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. GAUGE FLUCTUATES AND WE CANNOT TELL EXACTLY HOW MUCH FUEL WE HAVE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING CHILDREN AROUND.

RADIO STAYS ON AFTER CAR IS OFF AND COMPUTER KEEPS SAYING TIGHTEN FUEL CAP AND TACTION DRIVER SHUTS OFF ALL SUDDEN THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN RESETS AND GOES BACCK TO NORMAL ON ITS OWN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VEER TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HEARD A DING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WOULD STALL. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS FLICKERED AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY SENSOR AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER (MOUNTAIN VIEW CHEVROLET 1079 W FOOTHILL BLVD, UPLAND, CA 91786 909-985-2866) AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE DEALER AND WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK WITHIN 24 HOURS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE SERVICE AIRBAG ALERT COMES ON FOR NO REASON, THEN GOES OFF. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN AND DID NOT GO OFF. I DRIVE SPEEDS OF 30 TO 60 MPH. MY LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND RADIO DIMS AND THE RADIO CUTOFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAN CUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. I ALSO EXPERIENCE WATER POURING INTO TO MY TRAVERSE RIGHT OVER MY FRONT OVER HEAD LAMPS INSIDE. THERE WAS SO MUCH WATER IT FILLED THE CUP HOLDER AND THE SHIFT WAS WET. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED AND I DON'T HAVE ANY CRACKS ON MY FRONT WINDOW. I HAVE NO CLUE HOW THE WATER IS COMING INTO MY TRAVERSE FROM THE TOP AND LEAKING IN THROUGH THE FRONT OVER HEAD LAMPS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, 1 DAY AGO I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK...

SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEM WITH SEAT BELT, INSTRUMENTAL PANEL (RESET) AND ONE MORE THING THAT WE DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT IS. AT THIS TIME WE ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH ALL BREAK LIGHTS NOT OPERATIONAL WHICH WAS RECALLED DECEMBER 26, 2014 FOR THE REASON THAT THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE MAY BE INTERNALLY CONTAMINATED, RESULTING IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT..VERY DANGEROUS HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED AND YET COULD NOT CONVINCE ME WHY WE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH RECALLS. WE HAVE APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN ON TUESDAY, NOV 28,, 2016. WE NEED HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT CHEVY FIXES THIS CAR AT NO COST TO US..IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT A 2YRS OLD AR WILL DEVELOP THESE PROBLEMS WHILE YOUR ARE STILL PAYING CAR NOTE. WE BELIEVE THERE WAS A MISTAKE WHEN RECALLS WERE...

SLIGHTLY IN MOTION ABOUT 5 MPH AND SOMETIMES AROUND 50 MPH, THE DIC WILL RESET WITHIN A SPLIT SECOND, THE RADIO WILL CUTOFF AND ALL DASHBOARD SIGNS WILL COME ON MOMENTARILY LIKE A RESET. THIS IS A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE DUE TO FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS SHORTED OR EVEN POOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CAUSING VOLTAGE DIFFERENCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE STABILITRAC WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY FLASHED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES TO STOP FUNCTIONING. AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR MESSAGE CENTER SAID REDUCE ENGINE SPEED STABILINK OFF AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALSO..SO I WAS DOING 65 AND ALL OFF SUDDEN ITHE CAR WENT TO 40..ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED A AND INTO A CRASH

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION THE AIRBAG SERVICE INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST AND THEN STAYED ON AFTER A FEW DAYS. DEALER WILL NOT COVER THIS KEY SAFETY COMPONENT FAILURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE LAST RECALL FOR AIRBAG FAILURE ON THE 2009-2013 TRAVERSE MODEL VEHICLES MADE THIS YEAR. THE RECALL FIXES THE YELLOW WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR FAILURE BY CUTTING IT AWAY AND SPLICING THE WIRES TOGETHER. THERE ARE NOW TECHNICAL BULLETINS OUT FOR THE 2014 TRAVERSES THAT SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *JS

DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE REGISTERS AN ERROR CODE OF B0022. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, GM TELLS THEM TO CHECK FOUR WIRES ON THE CONNECTORS TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WIRING HARNESS THAT CAUSES THE CHECK AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. SPECIFICALLY, GM TELLS THE DEALER TO SOLDER THE CONNECTIONS ON THE FOUR WIRES ON THE CONNECTOR. THE DEALER HAS ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS ILLUMINATED, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. IF THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED THIS COULD RESULT IN MAJOR INJURIES. ALSO, A CONNECTOR TERMINATION PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE DEALER, ESPECIALLY IN A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM SUCH AS THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER, THE DASHBOARD AND RADIO WENT BLANK, THE LOCKS IN THE DOORS WENT UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. I HAD TO ROLL THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT AT THE INTERSECTION. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS LOST ELECTRICAL POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I ALSO WENT OUT TO MY STATIONARY PARKED CAR AND TRIED TO START IT ONE MORNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, LIKE IT HAD A DEAD BATTERY, BUT THE IGNITION WOULD NOT RELEASE MY KEY OR LET ME TURN THE KEY BACK TO THE OFF POSITION. SO I STARTED TO TRY TO GET TO...

WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH, ABOUT 80 MILES FROM MY DESTINATION, WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. SWITCHED THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND THE CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF, POWER LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING REPEATEDLY, HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF. THE WHOLE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT LIGHTS TURNED ON (CHECK ENGINE, CHANGE OIL, ABS, BATTERY LIGHT, STABILITRAK ETC) WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS GAS ACCELERATOR IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE AND WOULD NOT MOVE, VEHICLE STALLED IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC WITH MY CHILDREN AND I IN CAR. WAS ABLE TO MERGE ONTO SHOULDER, PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK TURNED IGNITION TO OFF POSITION THEN RESTARTED VEHICLE. WAS ABLE DRIVE REST OFF WAY WITHOUT TURNING ON BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS OR CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I GOT OFF INTERSTATE ONTO HIGHWAY WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES I PLACED CRUISE CONTROL ON AND FLIPPED ON BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS AND THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING (GAS PEDAL, HEADLIGHTS, INSTRUMENT PANEL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE PARKED, THE LOCKS ON ALL THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND LOCKED REPEATEDLY WITHOUT ANY CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT 30 MPH, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THAT THE FAULTY LOCK/UNLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,046.

I WAS DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE, WITH LOW MILEAGE. *TR

UPON DELIVERY OF VEHICLE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES, RADIO OFF FOR NO REASON, LIGHTS OFF FOR NO REASON. U-HAUL DEALER FOUND THE FUSES IN FUSE BOX WERE FLOATING AND NOT STABLE IN CONNECTORS, WHOLE FUSE BOX WAS THIS WAY. IF YOU RAN YOUR FINGER ACROSS THE FUSES THEY WOULD MOVE, SWAY AND WERE NOT STRONGLY HELD IN THE CONNECTORS. I TOOK TO DEALER SHOWED MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN "AS IS" DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. FUSES WERE ALL LOOSE >20. FUSE BOX WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER I STILL EXPERIENCE SHIFTING PROBLEMS, FUEL GAUGE ISSUES, DEALER UNABLE TO RECREATE LOUD THUMP NOISE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, DEALER HAS RECODED SHIFT POINTS, SAYS TRANSMISSION "WILL LEARN", THIS FIXES PROBLEM FOR SHORT PERIODS, BUT ONCE AGAIN WHEN VEHICLE IS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, VEHICLE HESITATES AND LOUD "BANG" NOISE.PROBLEM MAY BE IN AXLES OR WHEEL WELL, DRIVE SYSTEM....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO WORK AND DISPLAYED LESS FUEL WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. ALSO, THE AIR BAG SENSOR AND OTHER GAUGES INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

AS WE PULLED UP IN THE 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE AROUND 2 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING MY FATHER SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND PULL THE KEY AS HE DID THAT THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT THE IGNITION AND WE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES THEN WE CALLED ON STAR THEN THEY TRANSFERRED US TO CHEVY ROADSIDE, THEY COULDN'T FIND A SOLUTION SO THEY TOLD US TO REMOVE THE KEY FOB AND COVER THE DASHBOARD WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND WE WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IT BACK YESTERDAY BUT GUESS WHAT, THE [XXX] KEY GOT STUCK AGAIN, WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO SHOW US THE REMOTE START. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RADIO WILL GO TO A BLANK SCREEN CAUSING LOSS OF BLUETOOTH FUNCTIONS AND FORCING THE DRIVER TO USE HIS OR HER CELL PHONE WHICH IS NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE, DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE SYSTEM BACK ON UNTIL IT DECIDES TO DO IT ON ITS OWN. *TR

SERVICE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD : SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE. I TOOK MY NEW CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMPUTER "GLITCH" THAT GM APPARENTLY "WAS AWARE OF". THIS COULD BE BIGGER THAN IT SEEMS AND WARRANTS FURTHER INVESTIGATION. *TR
