TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL OUT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. SOON AFTER, A POWER DOWN WARNING INDICATOR APPEARED AND THE STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

AFTER SOME MAJOR MAINTENANCE WORK SUMMER OF 2018, CAR BEGAN TO SHOW MORE WORK NEEDED. SUMMER OF 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT CITY ROAD, POWER STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN & CONTROL CURVES AND, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PARKED THE CAR UNTIL ABLE TO REPAIR. MECHANIC REPAIRED POWER STEERING MODULE CAR SEEMED OK. AFTER ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & POWER STEERING PROBLEMS AGAIN , NOW ENGINE POWER REDUCED WHILE DRIVING W/STABILITRAK WARNING & BACK UP CAM SOMETIMES WORKS. WHLE DRIVING , HARD TO TURN ON CURVES, CORNERS AND AT APPROPRIATE POSTED SPEEDS BC ENGINE SLOWS ON ITS OWN AND WONT GIVE ENOUGH POWER FOR FLATS OR HILLS. HEATING TAKES MUCH LONGER TO WARM CABIN AND WINDOW BUTTON SOMETIMES WONT WORK.

STABILITRAK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS MANY OF THE WINDOWS, ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT AND STABILITRAK COMES ON, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THERE IS LOSS OF POWER THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECOND, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 127,000

TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SOME SORT OF ISSUE WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND ALSO TRIGGERS THE BRAKE ALARM AND SAYS SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE AND AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF FOR AWHILE AND RESTARTING IT, THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS AND SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT.

Mileage: 107,500

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES PER HOUR, A MESSAGE YES IT SAID TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF SERVICE STABILITRAK. THEN IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED! THE VEHICLE QUICKLY WENT FROM 75MPH DOWN TO 30 WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE! I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE AND THE TRUCK BEHIND ME LOCKED UP HIS BRAKES AND STILL BARELY AVOIDED ME.

Mileage: 155,000

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR TWO YEARS IN MY TRAVERSE AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHY. FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, WHEN FILLING THE TANK WE HAVE TO TURN ALL ELECTRONICS OFF AND THEN AFTER THE FILL WE HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL AND COAX IT INTO STARTING. AGAIN, LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THAT WON'T COST A FORTUNE, SO ADVISED TO CONTINUE DRIVING IF WHAT WE DO WORKS. FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON PERIODICALLY AND THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD. AT FIRST NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED, BUT THE LAST THREE TIMES WE DID LOSE POWER. I WENT DOWN TO 40MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THEN AT 21 BELOW LAST NIGHT WE COULDN'T GO OVER 10-15 MPH. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE IT NORMALLY RE-SETS WHICH IT DID LAST NIGHT AND WE FINALLY MADE IT HOME. THIS ENGINE POWER REDUCTION AND STABILITRAK ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS ON.

Mileage: 140,000

WHEN DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR AND FLASHED THE WORDS: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITY, REAR PARK ASSIST OFF, ENGINE POWER BEING REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 70 MPH TO ABOUT 25 MPH. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE OTHER VEHICLES AS THIS HAPPENED. THE SEATBELT HAS ALSO NOT BEEN LATCHING FULLY AND THIS MORNING THE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON AND SAID CHECK THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. BUT THEN WENT OFF AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS, WHILE I WAS STATIONARY.THIS IS CLEARLY HAZARDOUS AND MAKES DRIVING TO WORK AND TO MY CHILDREN'S THINGS IMPOSSIBLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NOW I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH AND WHAT MOST PEOPLE BELIEVED AND MECHANICS WAS THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR BEING DIRTY, WE HAD THIS CLEANED LAST YEAR. THIS ALSO SEEMED TO ONLY OCCUR AFTER THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GOES BELOW 30 DEGREES. PEOPLE ALSO HAVE FOUND THAT IT MAY BE THE ENGINE MODULE SYSTEM THAT WAS SERVICED OR SOMETIMES THE CATALYST CONVERTER. BUT EVEN AFTER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THESE THINGS SERVICED THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ORDEAL I HAVE AND THAT'S AFTER HAVING 3 OR MORE MECHANICAL REPAIRS WITH NO CLUE ON WHAT IS ACTUALLY CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER MY TRUCK STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED THAN SLOW DOWN AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO CUT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THAN THE ENGINE POWER STARTED TO REDUCE .WE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WE TOLD SEVERAL DIFFERENT CODES SHOWED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING UP RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WERE WILLING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT BIG AS OF NOW BUT IN THE FUTURE IF THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THEM PROBLEMS THEY WOULD SEND ME OUT A RECALL ON IT. MY PROBLEM IS HOW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS DO THEY NEED BEFORE THEY RECALL TIMING CHAIN FOR THE TRAVERSE. I FEEL THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IF THE TRUCKS WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS. A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN BE HURT BEING THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPH IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 40 DEGREES, THE "SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWERING SLOW" MESSAGE WOULD DISPLAY AND THE SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY REDUCE TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (HUBLER CHEVROLET IN RUSHVILLE, IN) WERE NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. FIRST IT STARTED WITH A WARNING LIGHTS OF THE STABILIZING TRACK BEING TURNED OFF AND MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON. ON 2/18/2018 MY REDUCE ENGINE WARMING POPPED ON WHILE I'M DOING 75MPH AND MY CAR LOST POWER WHILE I'M ON THE CALIFORNIA FREEWAY, SHAKING AND SLOWING COMPLETELY DOWN. I'M PREGNANT AND I WAS SCARED THAT SOMEONE COULDN'T OF JUST SLAMMED RIGHT INTO ME. I PULLED OVER TO SHUT DOWN MY VEHICLE TO TRY TO RESET IT BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. ALL THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PAST 40MPH WHILE SPUTTERING ON MY WAY TO WORK. I BOUGHT THE SUV USED TWO YEARS AGO WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY. I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT ANY RECALLS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT'S VERY UPSETTING SINCE THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND MY SELF AND MY KIDS ARE IN IT 99% OF THE TIME AND MY JOB IS 70 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STUD ON. I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR ANY MAJOR REPAIRS. ESPECIALLY ONE THAT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND GM IS AWARE OF.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING COMES ON, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW AT ANY TIME (VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ON THE FREEWAY). THE THROTTLE NEEDLE AND CAR SHAKES AND CAR WILL CUT OFF AND STALL TO TURN ON AGAIN.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED THIS EVENING IN MY 2010 TRAVERSE AS WELL AS SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL. AS I ACCELERATED MY FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WENT DOWN AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT WOULD SHOOT UP TO FULL. I AM ONE OF MANY TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WITH SPECIFICALLY A CHEVY TRAVERSE.

Mileage: 122,000

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK,I START HEARING DINGS. I LOOK AT THE DASH AND IT TELLS ME THAT MY TRACTION IS OFF, TO CHECK MY STABILITRACK, AND ALSO THE BRAKE WAS ON. THEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK OFF EXCEPT THE TRACTION LIGHT. NOW IT FEELS AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS BEING PULLED BACKWARDS AS I TRY TO DRIVE. DEFINITELY A LOSS OF POWER.

Mileage: 175,000

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED TODAY 04/21/2017 AND I NOTICED THAT IT IS ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING ITSELF. WHEN I TOLD THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE I DROVE IT JUST 3 HOURS IT IS MY OWN PROBLEM TO OWN. NOW AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IT MAY GO OVER THE UNCONTROLLABLE SPEED OR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING DISASTERS.

Mileage: 77,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STABILITRAC WARNING AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT.

JUNE 2016, APPROX. 114,000 MI - FELT A LURCH IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC; FLASHED "SERVICE STABILITRAK," "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL," "BACKUP ALERTS = OFF". THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN TRAFFIC SPED UP, I REALIZED I ONLY HAD ONE GEAR AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60MPH. A SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THE INTERSTATE! SEVERAL HOURS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, BUT THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY -- STRAIGHT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE IT WAS DEEMED TO NEED $2400 IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR DUE TO THE FOLLOWING FAULT CODES: P182E & C0561. THEY WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION MODE SHIFT SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED US THAT WE WILL EVENTUALLY NEED A $700 REPAIR FOR THE CONTROL ARMS IN THE REAR SUSPENSION -- GE HAS CORRECTED A KNOWN FAULT IN THE PARTS. ALL THIS IS ON TOP OF A $3000 REPAIR DONE IN APRIL 2015 AT 92,500 MI. FOR KNOWN STEERING DEFECTS. IN THAT CASE, AS THE TRAVERSE WARMED UP, THE POWER STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN. GM REPAIRED PART OF THE PROBLEM AT NO COST, REPLACING POWER STEERING PUMP AND GEAR HOUSING. ANOTHER MECHANIC COMPLETED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY THAT WAS ALSO PART OF THE PROBLEM. THESE ARE BOTH SUBSTANTIAL DEFECTS AND REPAIRS NEEDED IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS EXPECTED TO LAST MUCH LONGER BEFORE NEEDING MORE THAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY 2010 TRAVERSE IS 74K... DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRACTION STABILIZER CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING, DOWN TO 45 MPH AND MORE. WHILE THE GAS PETAL WAS BEING PRESSED NO ACCELERATION WOULD HAPPEN. WENT TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACCELERATION CAME BACK. THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE THE TRACTION STABLIZER CONTROL/ABS STAYED ON WITH NO OTHER ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, UNTIL I ARRIVED TO WORK. WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, WHILE GIVING IT GAS IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD. PUT IN PARK, WAITING, THEN TRIED IT AGAIN. THE TRACTION STABILIZER CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE JUST FINE. OVER THE PAS FEW MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ONLY WITH THE TRACTION STABILIZER/ABS LIGHT INDICATORS NO OTHER PROBLEMS. WE HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIND NO CODES. COULD IT BE THE SENSOR OR NOW COULD IT BE THE THROTTLE BODY??

Mileage: 74,000

WHILE DRIVING OUR VEHICLE SOME SENSORS STARTING TO GO OFF AND WE STARTED LOSING POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHICH IN TURN CAUSED A HUGE AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE TRAVERSE WE WERE DRIVING SHOWED A TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK SIGNAL. IT BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN. IF WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WE WOULD HAVE WRECKED, LUCKILY WE WERE NOT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON MANY OTHER TRAVERSE'S AS WELL AS MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN THE CHEVROLET LINEUP, YET THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OR IF SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO HURT BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE, BUT SOMEONE NEED TO MAKE THE RIGHT CALL BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID IT IS A KNOW ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RECALL HAPPEN, DOES SOMEONE NEED TO SERIOUSLY GET HURT? IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE ARE NO FIXES FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS JUST COSTING OWNERS, MORE AND MORE MONEY TO GET REPAIRS THEY DON'T REALLY NEED. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

Mileage: 99,000

ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 65 MPH, ALARM CHIMES WENT OFF, DISPLAY CENTER SHOWED "SERVICE STABILITRAK", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE CAR QUICKLY DECELERATED TO 10 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT DOWN. THIS WAS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SERVICE CENTER, DIAGNOSED WITH 4 OR 5 DIFFERENT ISSUES, REPAIRED 2 OR 3 COMPONENTS ALL WITH THE SAME OUTCOME: THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED ISSUE COMES BACK. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S A "NEW ISSUE" EVERY TIME SO AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO FAITH IN THEIR "FIXES", I FEEL THAT WHEN MY WIFE, KIDS, OR ME ARE IN THE CAR I WILL EVENTUALLY BE IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WHERE WE ALL DIE AND HOPE THAT AT LEAST THIS MESSAGE WILL COME OUT THEN. GM HAS BEEN SORT OF HELPFUL BUT FROM MY RESEARCH/DEALINGS WITH THIS ISSUE (30+ HOURS), IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODEL GM AUTOMOBILES. I AM AT A LOSS. I HAVEN'T FIXED THE MOST RECENT ISSUE ($700, TRANSMISSION INTERNAL MODE SWITCH) IN HOPES THAT, USING MY OWN RESEARCH/TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, I CAN FIND THE REAL ISSUE BEHIND THESE FAILURES AND NOT JUST WHAT THE "COMPUTER ERROR CODES" ARE POINTING TOO. THE IRONY IN THIS "FEATURE" IS THAT, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT GOES INTO THIS ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE FOR SAFETY REASONS SO THAT YOU WON'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR OR OTHER PROBLEM. YET REDUCING THE ENGINE POWER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR THE PA TURNPIKE WHERE THERE IS NOWHERE TO SAFELY PULL OVER IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PROBLEM OF ALL. NOTES FOR OTHER CONSUMERS: SO FAR THE MECHANIC HAS FLUSHED THE THROTTLE BODY (CLEANED IT), AND REPLACED THE TIMING BELT . TAKING TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC FOR A 2ND OPINION ON THE MOST RECENT INTERNAL MODE SWITCH DIAGNOSIS.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK OFF CAME ON DASH ALONG WITH PARK ASSIST OFF. I FELT THE ENGINE LOSE POWER AND SPEED DROPPED TO 25MPH. I HAS TO SWERVE AND MISS SEVERAL CARS FROM HITTING ME DUE TO THIS REDUCE SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. PRESSED ON THE PEDDLE TO SPEED UP AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GO PAST 1ST GEAR ( WELL AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT IT FELT LIKE) I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. TO AFRAID TO DRIVE. TOOK IT TO OUR SHOP AND NOTHING WAS REGISTERED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE. CAR SEEMS FINE NOW, JUST AFRAID TO DRIVE. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS?

STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL/REDUCE ENGINE POWER. WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 75 NORTH IN TN ON NOVEMBER 28, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30PM WITH MY HUSBAND, 6 YEAR OLD, AND 3 YEAR OLD; MY 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE SUDDENLY DINGED AND THEN THE FLASHED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES ON MY DISPLAY: STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL, REDUCE ENGINE POWER. THIS RESULTED IN A RAPID DECELERATION FROM ABOUT 75MPH TO ABOUT 25MPH. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING HIT BY A SEMI-TRUCK BEHIND US, AS THE CAR RAPIDLY SLOWS WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS NOTIFYING OTHER DRIVERS. THANKFULLY, THE SEMI WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY SWERVE INTO THE LEFT LANE TO AVOID HITTING US. WE PULLED OVER AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. WHEN WE TURNED IT BACK ON, THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHICH APPEARS TO BE QUITE COMMON IN NUMEROUS GM VEHICLES. I'M ALARMED THAT NHTSA HASN'T REQUIRED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH LOOKS TO BE RELATED TO A THROTTLE-BODY PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A SERVICE ALERT FROM GM FOR THIS ISSUE, SO IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

MY CAR COULD HAVE GOTTEN ME KILLED. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK,STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I MASHED THE GAS TO GO IT SAID STABILITY TRACK OFF ,MOTOR REDUCED. MY CAR LITERALLY WAS IN THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC COMING. THERE WAS NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF . ANOTHER DAY I HAD TO PULL OVER ON A FOUR LANE BECAUSE IT DONE THE SAME AND WOULDN'T GO. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHO HAS THESE CHEVY TRAVERSE.I HAVE LOOKED AT MANY REVIEWS AND THIS IS A BIG COMPLAINT OUT OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IT'S NOT SAFE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL MUCH LESS A FAMILY,BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO SHUT DOWN. NO SHOP CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'VE HAD NEW TIRES,SENSOR,AND RESET AND IT DOESN'T WORK. PLEASE CONSIDER LOOKING AT ALL THE REVIEWS ON THESE CARS.

ME & MY FAMILY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING 65 MPH, & SUDDENLY THE CHIME IN MY VEHICLE GOES OFF, & IN THE DISPLAY WINDOW IT READS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK & PARK ASSIST OFF. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT & I BELIEVE THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COME ON. THEN THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWS DOWN & WHEN I TRY TO PUSH THE GAS TO GO, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON & LUCKILY I WAS JUST A FEW MINUTES FROM HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO GREG MAY HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY PUT IT ON THAT MACHINE & THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THAT SAME DAY I TAKE IT & THEY TELL ME IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. SO I DRIVE MY VEHICLE HOME & TRY TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO MAKE THE REPAIR & I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO MY PERSONNEL MECHANIC ON FEB 27, 2015, THEY REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY FOR $521.79 (I DO HAVE RECEIPT). 3 MONTHS LATER ON MAY 23, 2015 THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN. 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT ON AUG 7, 2015 IT DID IT. AND AGAIN ON SEPT 1, 2015. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ON NOV 29, 2014, I ONLY HAD IT 3 MONTHS WHEN IT BEGAN TO MESS UP ON ME. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I AM EITHER ON A BUSY CITY STREET OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE 5 CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE & THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT WITH 67000 MILES. LAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING MY ALL THE CONTROLS STARTED GOING CRAZY AND ERROR MESSAGE WAS SAYING "TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" SERVICE STABILITRAK / REDUCED ENGINE / TRACTION CONTROL OFF/ PARKING ASSIST OFF MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DIC AND THE CAR WENT INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MODE AND WOULD ONLY BLEM TO HAVE BEEN FIXED. NOW TODAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAT TO THE VET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE WE GO AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AS LAST MONTH. I WENT FROM 45 MPH DOWN TO DROPPING DOWN TO 15 MPH AT RANDOM IS NOT SAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING YOU CANT JUST OVER LANES IF YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC WHEN I TOPPED FOR GAS I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND WAIT THEN RESTART AS MANUAL SUGGESTS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP, THE MESSAGE REAPPEARED. ONCE THE CAR FINALLY STARTED I WENT STRAIGHT TO WALDORF CHEVY DEALER. I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT CODES AND EVERYTHING POINTED TO NEEDING A COMPUTER BOARD WHICH ENDED UP COSTING $1009.00 CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAID "PROBABLY JUST FLUKE, HOPEFULLY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN"! NOT A GOOD ANSWER FOR ME BECAUSE I DRIVE AROUND AND MY HUSBAND DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN I DON'T NEED ISSUES WITH MY ONLY CAR. THIS SHOULD BE A COVERED REPAIR. I CALLED BOTH CHEVY AND GM AND HAVE TO SAY I WAS HAPPY WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVED. I WANT TO KNOW WHY GM KNOWS THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE IN THE TRAVERSE AND HAVE NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS AND SENT OUT A FACTORY RECALL. IF THE DEALER DARES COME BACK AND SAY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NEEDS REPLACED AND REFUSES TO FIX IT AT NO COST AT LEASE I CALLED CORPORATE SO THEY WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER THIS TIME!!!! :)

ON THE WAY TO LONGVIEW TEXAS, WE WERE DRIVING ON THE LOOP IN PALESTINE WHEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND PARK ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER QUICKLY AND WE HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I AM PREGNANT AND MY (XXX) YEAR OLD WAS IN THE CAR. VEHICLE WAS TOWED, I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE BACON CHEVROLET IN PALESTINE CHARGED ME $150 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE SINCE THAT WAS DUE UP. THEY FIXED THREE RECALLS THAT WERE DUE ON MY VEHICLE I HAD OWNED FOR 1.5 YRS, THEN NONE OF THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AGAIN ON MAY 12TH, YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE RPM'S WOULD GO TO ABOUT 3,000 ONLY DRIVING 40 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND CAME OUT TO CHECK ON IT AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOM LIGHT CHEVY AND WAS TOLD "THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THIS", THEY MUST NOT GET THE INTERNET THERE. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE OWNERS OF BOTH THE TRAVERSE AND THE EQUINOX (MY SISTER HAS ONE THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUE) FROM THE 2009 ALL THE WAY TO 2013 MODEL FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND WHY WE ARE PAYING TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS OR TO FIX THINGS WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN AND TELL US THE ISSUE IS SOMETHING ELSE?! GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL OR THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE WAY IT IS BEING HANDLED. IF THESE LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN SOON, THIS WILL BE THREE TIMES IN SIX MONTHS! I AM LOOKING AT TRADING THIS VEHICLE IN AND TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY APARTS 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).WAY FROM GM IF THIS IS HANDLED IMPROPERLY.

ERROR MESSAGE SAYS TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED THEN VEHICLE DROPS SPEED TO UNDER 20MPH. I HAVE TO TRY AND SAFELY PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT UNTIL I CAN TURN THE CAR BACK ON TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS CAN LAST AN HOUR OR MORE. DEALER SAYS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACED. TSB #PI-0097A AND NHTSA #10036514 SHOWS A KNOWN ISSUE. DEALER SAYS NOT COVERED. DEALER SERVICED VEHICLE BY CLEANING THE THROTTLE BOTTLE AND PROBLEM STOPPED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. SYMPTOMS HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOW ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I AM VERY DISCOURAGED WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY DOES CHEVY PUBLISH THESE TSB'S IF THE DEALERS WON'T COVER THEM? *TR

MY WIFE WAS RUNNING ERRANDS WITH 2010 TRAVERSE AND THE BELL STARTED CHIMING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER" CAME UP ON DASH DISPLAY AND SHE HAD HARDLY ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN. I ADVISED HER TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT, IT WORKED FOR A FEW MILES BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I LOOKED UP SYMPTOMS ONLINE AND FOUND MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH FEW RESOLUTIONS MADE BY GM DEALERS, EVEN AFTER REPLACING VERY EXPENSIVE PARTS AT OWNERS EXPENSE. *TR

WAS DRIVING MY CHEVY TRAVERSE AT AROUND 45MPH WHEN SUDDENLY RECEIVED VEHICLE NOTIFICATIONS STATING "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE STABILITRAC AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER." IMMEDIATELY I WAS AT A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND WAS SUDDENLY REDUCED TO 15MPH NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED. I HAD TO VEAR OFF THE ROAD, SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN, AND THEN RESTART IT ONLY TO MAKE IT ANOTHER MILE UP THE ROAD BEFORE THE SYMPTOMS OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS FORCED TO REPEAT THESE STEPS 5 MORE TIMES BEFORE MAKING IT TO MY DESTINATION. UPON INVESTIGATION OF THIS MECHANICAL ISSUE I'VE LEARNED OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS WITH NOT ONE PROVIDING A REPAIR SOLUTION. MANY HAVE PAID UPWARDS OF $500-$1000 IN REPAIR COSTS AND ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE TWICE SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AND EACH TIME EXPERIENCE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. AM I TO PAY FOR DEALER REPAIR WHEN IT SEEMS THERE IS NO PROPER SOLUTION? I NOW HAVE A $20000 VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN, WHICH IS IRONICALLY WHY I PURCHASED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I SUPPOSE I AM FORCED TO HAVE IT SERVICED AT MY LOCAL DEALER BUT AM CERTAINLY NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE RESULTS. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP! RECALL THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

MY 2010 TRAVERSE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THIS MORNING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE SPEED WAS IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THIS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING AND IN HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL OTHER CARS. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD SIGNAL AND MANAGED TO REACH THE ROAD SHOULDER AFTER TRAFFIC HAD CLEARED. AFTER STOPPING FOR 10 MINUTES I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE TO THE CLOSEST DEALER FOR SERVICE. AFTER COVERING ABOUT 6 MILES THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS REDUCED AGAIN, BUT I MANAGE TO REACH THE DEALERSHIP. AT THE CHEVROLET DEALER THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM. I PAID THE SIGNIFICANT COST FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF AND CONTACTED BOTH GM & CHEVROLET DIVISION TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE FAILURE AND ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR WHAT IS CLEARLY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THAT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TRAVERSE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM AND SERVICE REPS AT BOTH CHEVROLET & GM SAID THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FROM THEM. MY CASE FOR COST REIMBURSEMENT IS STILL PENDING. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SUDDENLY SEVERAL DINGS GO OFF AND A SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT GO OFF, WITH LIGHTS NOTING THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS OFF AND THAT THE STABILITRACK IS OFF. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT, THEN A SLOW REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER TO WHERE I COULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH, UNTIL I PULLED OVER AND REPEATEDLY TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR+ BUT BY THE TIME I MADE IT BACK HOME THE ISSUE WAS FINE. UNTIL THE PAST 2 WEEKS. IT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY, INCLUDING TODAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD ( I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK). TODAY IT HAPPEN A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO MY MECHANIC SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND THEY CHECKED THE SENSORS, CLEANED THEM AND THOUGHT WE COULD SEE IF THAT WOULD WORK. IT DID NOT, HE SAID THE NEXT STEP IS A PRICEY REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY. I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST OF RECALL ITEMS FOR THE 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD 2 THIS YEAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE, I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE HIT BY THE SUDDEN DECREASE IN ENGINE POWER, EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRAVERSE AND I AM WONDERING WHY THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ITEMS, AS THE SEAT BELT ISSUE WAS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE, BUT HONESTLY IF THERE HASN'T BEEN IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT SUDDEN LOSES POWER ON I-80, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, WITH MANY SEMI TRUCKS, AND YOUR VEHICLE SPEED DROPS DOWN TO 35 MPH AND YOU NEED TO PULL OVER IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO GETTING A DIFFERENT SUV, THAT I CAN DRIVE MYSELF AND MY FAMILY SAFELY IN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. THANK YOU. *DT

JULY 1ST 2014: I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL AT WORK AND HEARD 3 DINGS, LOOKED AT MY DASH, SAW THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT FLASH, AND THEN THE CAR POWERED DOWN. I COULD NOT GET IT TO RESTART AND CALLED FOR A TOW. AFTER A FEW DAYS IN THE SHOP I GOT MY CAR BACK AND ALL SEEMED FINE. THEY CLEARED SOME "CODES". AUGUST 23RD 2014: I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING - WENT TO START MY CAR AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN. SAME AS ABOVE, CALLED FOR A TOW. A FEW DAYS LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK. THEY CLEARED SOME MORE "CODES". AUGUST 28TH 2014: I HAD MY CAR HOME FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AS YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS - I GOT IT TOWED AND IT IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON. I'M SO HAPPY I'M MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I DON'T EVEN GET TO DRIVE. MY HUSBAND HAS A 1997 FORD F150 WITH OVER 215K MILES - IT STARTS EVERYDAY. MY CAR HAS 67K MILES. I GUESS THE MOST IRRITATING THING IS THAT THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE IN THE FORM OF A RECALL. THAT IS PATHETIC!! YOU ARE LOSING LOYAL CUSTOMERS. YOU ARE [XXX] THE MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES THAT PURCHASE YOUR VEHICLES. DO YOU THINK ANY OF THE MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND CEO'S ARE DRIVING CHEVY'S??? MAYBE IF THERE BMW'S OR VOLVO'S DIDN'T START...OH WAIT GM DOESN'T MAKE THOSE, SO THEY PROBABLY WORK JUST FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS...SOMEONE WITH A CONSCIENCE AT GM DO SOMETHING!!!!!! *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

YOU GUYS NEED TO CHECK OUT THIS WEBSITE, I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS MANY LISTED HERE, AND MANY WHO DON'T EVEN LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE!!! SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG WITH THE TRAVERSE, AND GM IS PICKING OUT 1 AT A TIME, AND OFFERING TO FIX THE ISSUES AT A LESSER CHARGE (OUT OF WARRANTY). PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS. OUR STEERING HAS BEEN AN ISSUE, ALONG WITH THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE HAVING BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES!! WIRING HARNESS REPLACED, LEAKING POWER STEERING, AND STRUTS/MOUNTS. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH, I FIND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES!!! THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE, AND MANY PEOPLE UNKNOWINGLY ARE PAYING FULL PRICE FOR THIS UNLESS THEY COMPLAIN!!! I ENDED UP PAYING $950 FOR A $4000 BILL AT THE DEALER AFTER NEGOTIATING WITH GM. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE FOLKS!! [XXX] THERE ARE MANY OTHER FORUMS IF YOU GOOGLE THIS ISSUE OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THESE ISSUES!! WITH SOME LOSING POWER AND DROPPING FROM 65MPH ON INTERSTATE TO 20 MPH WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS!!

DRIVING TO OUR WORK CHRISTMAS PARTY ON THE HWY THEN SUDDENLY 3 CHIMES AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STEADILY TRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED" SHOWS ON DASH BOARD. WE PULL OVER TO THE NEAREST SAFE LOCATION. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MIN. THEN START AGAIN, WE DRIVE 5 MILES THEN THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. WE END UP HAVING TO PULL OVER ANOTHER 4 TIMES BEFORE WE REACH OUR DESTINATION. NEXT DAYTOOK IT IN TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP, CHARGED ME 100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. TOLD ME IT WAS THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACING , AND SPARKPLUGS AND INJECTORS NEEDS CHANGED. TOTAL WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT $1200, I DECLINED BECAUSE I WAS TOLD I HAD "BUMPER TO BUMPER" EXTENDED WARRANTY. COME TO FIND OUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED BY THIS "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT IS FOUND ON A LOT OF CHEVY VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES FOR CHEVY NOT TO ACCEPT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN HERE, AND THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE.....FIRST AND LAST GM VEHICLE WE WILL EVER OWN FOR SURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT A SPEED OF 55MPH WHEN I HEARD A DING SOUND, MY STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DASH BOARD READ "SERVICE STABILITRAK". ANOTHER DING SOUND WAS MADE AND MY DASH BOARD THEN READ "ENGINE REDUCING SPEED" AND MY SUV IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO REDUCE MY SPEED TO 25MPH.. IMMEDIATELY HAD TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE SO THAT NO OTHER CARS OR TRUCKS WOULD CRASH INTO ME.. I DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY PARKING LOT. TOOK TO DEALER AND BEHOLD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THE SAME THAT OTHERS ONLINE WERE TOLD. AND YES JUST AS OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED ONLINE, ITS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ALTHOUGH IT REDUCES YOUR ENGINE POWER. MANY HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER. THIS IS HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE GM CARS, SUV'S, AND TRUCKS. THIS CAN NOT BE A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME SCENARIO AND PROBLEM HAPPEN TO THEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND HAVE YOUR SPEED BE REDUCE IMMEDIATELY. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND EVEN THEY WERE SCARED OF WHAT OCCURRED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU HAVE TRUCKS AND SEMI'S DRIVING BEHIND YOU, THEY CAN NOT STOP THAT FAST. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS MATTER?? *TR
