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.

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.

Mileage: 110,000

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!!!

Mileage: 100,000

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.

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 MODEL THERE IS ONLY 4 RECALLS AND IF I GO BY VIN SPECIFICALLY THERE IS NONE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ! SOMEONE SHOULD HELP. WITH A CAR THAT ISN'T 'THAT OLD' I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS MANY ISSUES. I HAVE 154,039 MILES ON IT. IT ISN'T SAFE. MY WINDOW IS STUCK RIGHT NOW I'M THE DOWN POSITION. I CAN MOVE IT DOWN MORE BUT NOT UP. I HAVE 3 KIDS. MY CAR SEEMS TO NOT WORK MORE THAN IT DOES. NOTHING LIKE SCREWING OVER THE LITTLE GUY...CHEVY NUMBER ONE ON SAFETY YA RIGHT

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 WAS IN THE HIGHWAY AND "POWER LOSS WARNING" CAME OUT IN THE SCREEN. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE, THANK GOD I WAS NEAR AN EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT IN TIME BEFORE IT STOPPED COMPLETELY. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED A FEW MNTS. TURNED ON AGAIN AND DROVE OFF ON THE SERVICE ROAD. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO FASTER THAN 10 MPH. NOW THE CAR IS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I'M GETTING READY TO GET RID OF IT ASAP! BUT JUST NOTICED THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH SUCH A PROBLEM. WE NEED A RECALL FAST. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR 47K THINKING THAT IT WAS GOING TO LAST JUST LIKE THE OLD CHEVYS. BUT THIS NEW TECH IS KILLING IT! WE NEED A RECALL ON THIS FAST!

Mileage: 60

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.

Mileage: 81,000

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

Mileage: 109,000

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.

Mileage: 146,000

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.

Mileage: 112,000

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.

Mileage: 75,000

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.

Mileage: 128,000

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. I HAD THE SO CALLED ISSUE FIXED WHICH WAS A SENSOR.

Mileage: 120,000

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 IN THE BACK SEAT AND WE ARE VERY LUCKY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT, THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DETERMINE THE ISSUE AS THE PROBLEM IS ONLY SPORADIC. NOW A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE GIVES US THESE WARNINGS AND HAS THESE SAME ISSUES DAILY. WE CAN NOT FIND A RESOLUTION. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED AND SO WE DRIVE IN COMFORT THAT WE WILL MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION AND SAFELY.

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.

Mileage: 118,000

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 STOPPED BUT THIS YEAR WE HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE THINGS AND NOTHING IS WORKING. A 3 AND HALF HOUR DRIVE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS TOOK 7 HOURS IN THE SLEET WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD AT 3 IN THE MORNING. THAT'S NOT OKAY. I'M NOT WILLING TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE.

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

Mileage: 179,000

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

Mileage: 80,000

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 AFFECT EITHER CAR, SO WE LET IT GO ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE WAS AT FAULT NOT THE PEOPLE BEHIND US.

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 QUESTIONABLE ON HOW THIS CARE WAS MADE AND CAUSES SERIOUS PROBLEMS WHEN A TIMING CHAIN GOES OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

Mileage: 137,000

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.

PULL OVER AND LET IT "REST" FOR 15 MINUTES, IT WILL RESUME DRIVING. HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS ISSUE "REPAIRED" FROM CHEVY STORE10 MONTHS AGO.

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 DEALERSHIP WHO THEN SAYS THAT THE TRUCK NEEDS A WATER PUMP WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY ALSO RESET MY FUEL SENSOR BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY TESTED IT AND IT WAS STILL GOOD. SO IT ONLY COST ME $100.00. I PICK MY TRUCK UP AND IT WORKS FINE FOR LESS THAN A MONTH AND STARTS UP AGAIN. I RUN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY STREET AND GET ANOTHER TOW. BACK TO THE CHEVROLET HOUSE IT GOES. THIS TIME THEY RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SAYS ITS STILL NOT THE FUEL PUMP, SENSOR, OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING AT ALL. I GO PICK IT UP ONCE AGAIN AND ON MY WAY HOME RAN OUT OF GAS, WHILE THE GAS LEVEL IS READING RIGHT AT HALF A TANK. I KNOW THERE WAS GAS IN THE TANK WHEN I RAN OUT AND WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR A WHOLE WEEK AND ALL THEY DID WAS GOT THE TRUCK ON LEVEL GROUND, OBVIOUSLY, AND THE TRUCK RAN ALL THE GAS OUT WHILE PARKED AND THEY WERE 'TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM'. SO NOW THE GAS HAND IS NOT WORKING AT ALL AND I'M ALWAYS PUTTING GAS IN IT AND TAKING A CHANCE BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS WHATS WRONG. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE AND THIS PROBLEM NEEDS RECALLING BEFORE ONE DIES.

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.

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?

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK LIGHTS CAME ON AND ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. THE TRAVERSE SPEED DROPPED FROM 60 MPH TO 20 MPH IN JUST A FEW SECONDS ON THE INTERSTATE. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NOT A LARGE VEHICLE BEHIND US THAT WOULD HAVE MOWED RIGHT OVER MY FAMILY BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE SHOULDER. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RECURRED.

ON 9-11-14 THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP & I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A POWER STEERING SOLENOID. 10-23-14 POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING SO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I GO. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT GM HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 11-10-14 POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN. GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ECBTM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS NOT PART OF THE BULLETIN? MY ISSUE IS THAT I DO NOT FEEL GM WENT DEEP ENOUGH TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I KNOW 3 PEOPLE IN MY AREA THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN YOUR DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND YOUR HAVE NO POWER STEERING IT CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND OPPOSING DRIVERS. YOU WOULD THINK GM WOULD STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASST 2 TIMES WITH ZERO RESPONSE ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME BEING WITH TIFFANY.

I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK THIS MORNING (2/18/15) ON A MISSOURI STATE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY POWER WAS REDUCED DRAMATICALLY ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED AT MY DIC AND NOTICED THE FOLLOWING READINGS LISTED: "SERVICE STABLE TRACK", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL". ALSO, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY BUT MY MAXIMUM SPEED WAS ONLY 15 MPH. I STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN PUT BACK IN DRIVE. I WENT BACK IN TO TRAFFIC BUT MY MAXIMUM SPEED WAS ONLY 40 MPH. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY OFFICE, I NOTICED THE ENGINE APPEARED TO NOT BEING RUNNING PROPERLY, AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING THE RIGHT FUEL/OXYGEN MIXTURE. I CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEMS AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THEM FOR TESTING. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS NEEDING TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE PART WOULD NOT BE IN UNTIL TOMORROW. I WILL BE PICKING THE VEHICLE UP TOMORROW AFTER THE REPAIR AND I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE IF MY WIFE OR SON HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT MAY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN A VEHICLE, THE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT ON A BUSY INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY IS VERY LIKELY WHEN YOUR SPEED IN REDUCED DRAMATICALLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE TCS TURNED OFF BY ITSELF A MESSAGE INDICATOR CAME ON STATING REDUCED POWER TCS OFF SERVICE STABILITRAK. I TOOK IT TO A JACK WILLIAMS SINCE THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES OPEN ON AT THE TIME. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND DETERMINED I HAD A BAD BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. THE TCS STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND WORKED UNTIL 2/16/15 WHEN AGAIN TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65MPH THE TCS TURNED OFF BY ITSELF. I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY SHUT OFF THE CAR. A FEW MINUTES LATER I RESTARTED AND DROVE HOME ON A BACK ROAD. 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE THE TCS AGAIN TURNED OFF AGAIN. A MINUTE LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AT MOTORWORLD. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BLOCKED. MY CHOICES WERE TO FLUSH THE SYSTEM WHICH THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THE WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY DO NOT TAKE THE THROTTLE BODY ITSELF APART TO SEE IF IT IS SERVICEABLE OR TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND FLUSH THE SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT FLUSHING THE SYSTEM IS PART OF THE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 40,000 MILES. UPON LOOKING IN MY OWNERS MANUAL I FOUND NO REQUIREMENT THAT THIS IS A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ITEM. IF IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE LISTED IT IN THE MANUAL. I RESEARCHED FORUMS AND FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS WAS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU LOSE POWER AND DROP SPEED QUICKLY WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. BELOW IS THE LINK TO THE FORUM ON EDMUNDS.COM. IF CHEVY TOOK SAFETY SERIOUSLY THEY SHOULD HAVE A DIRECT COMPLIANT SECTION ON THEIR WEBSITE TO COMPLAIN TO SO THAT ALL CARS PROBLEMS ARE TRACKED.

VEHICLE HAD ERROR MESSAGES, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAX, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND EXPERIENCED DECREASED SPEED. VEHICLE VIBRATING WHILE IDLING. WAS TOLD BY DEALER NOT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OTHERS WITH SAME ERROR MESSAGES STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, COULD NOT GET THE CAR RESTARTED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE SUDDEN SLOW ACCELERATION AND DECREASED SPEED ARE SAFETY ISSUES WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY GMC BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. DEALERSHIP SAID CODES WERE P2176, P0121 AND P0221 ALL RELATED TO TPS SENSOR. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY, TOTAL COST $607.42. NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO A BLOG, IN APPROXIMATELY 2009 GMC STOPPED COVERING THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER 2009 CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. ADDITIONALLY, BLOGS INDICATE THAT EVEN WHEN THE PROBLEM GETS FIXED BY THE DEALER (AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE), THE SAME ISSUE TENDS TO ARISE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL BY GMC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH THE OWNER'S DULY COMPENSATED FOR ANY COSTS THEY MAY HAVE INCURRED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HWY AT 65 MPH I GOT A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT READ "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" THEN "SERVICE STABILITRACK" THEN "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THEN I LOST POWER AND WENT DRASTICALLY FROM 65 MPH DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. I ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A SEMI TRUCK!! I PULLED VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND SLOWLY MADE MY WAY TO THE NEAREST EXIT. ONCE I GOT OFF THE HWY I TRIED TO MAKE MY WAY BACK HOME, BUT THE POWER WAS REDUCED TO A CRAWL, SO I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND ENDED UP HAVING TO GET IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND FOUND NO MECHANICAL ISSUES, ONLY WHAT SEEMED TO BE A "GLITCH" IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. SUGGESTED THAT I MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. I PICKED UP MY CAR AND IT DROVE FINE FOR 5 DAYS THEN IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, LUCKILY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT. THE NEXT MORNING IT DROVE JUST FINE, NO ISSUES, AND TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST FEW HOURS READING HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO, AND FOUND THAT THEY ARE TAKING THEIR VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND GETTING PARTS REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND THEN MORE PARTS REPLACED AND IT CONTINUES IN THIS CYCLE...

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOWED ALERTS READING TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN TO 20MPH. THANKFULLY MY TODDLERS WERE NOT IN THE CAR AND I DID NOT HAVE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME SO THAT I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED AGAIN, AT WHICH TIME THE SAME ERRORS RETURNED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SO THAT I COULD AT LEAST MAKE IT HOME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY CHEVY DEALER WHO COMPLETES ALL SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE COLD TEMPERATURES AS OIL TENDS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND FREEZE UP, MAKING THE SENSOR GO HAYWIRE, LEAVING THE THROTTLE UNABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE CHANGES, AND THE WARNINGS TO OCCUR. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL AND IT SHOULD BE FINE WHEN IT WARMS UP. I GUESS WE DIFFER IN OUR OPINION OF WHETHER A CAR SHUTTING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY OR WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR IS A BIG DEAL. I GUESS WE ALSO DIFFER IN OUR OPINIONS ABOUT WHETHER A $40K VEHICLE SHOULD FUNCTION IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES THAT OCCUR FOR FOUR MONTHS OF THE YEAR IN THE NORTHEAST. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE WITH MANY OTHER VEHICLES AND SOME YEARS OF TRAVERSES BUT NOT ALL. CHEVROLET, YOU NEED TO STAND BEHIND YOUR VEHICLES...TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE $100 PART THAT CAN VERY EASILY BE FIXED IN 15 MINUTES TIME INSTEAD OF FORCING CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE OR SHELL OUT UPWARDS OF $600 TO MAKE THE REPAIR.

IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN AS I WAS ON THE FREEWAY THE SAME MESSAGES APPEARED AND AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE CAR'S SPEED WAS DECREASING EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING ON THE GAS. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AS I COULD NOT INCREASE SPEED. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS I NEED THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $600. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS SITE, I SEE THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT ON THE SHOULDER TO MY MECHANIC AT NO MORE THAN 20 MPH AND HE SAID THAT 4 OF THE 6 COILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A $700 REPAIR. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED (12/3/14) I WAS DRIVING ON I-95 DOING 65 AND ALL THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE CAR INSTANTLY REDUCED THE SPEED AND I WAS CRAWLING AT 10MPH. I HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER CARS AS WE WERE ALL TRAVELING AT THE POSTED SPEED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I STRUGGLED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER. I STOPPED THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING RESET AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT A MILE OR TWO AND IT RECURRED. I HAPPENED 8 TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER. THE DEALER TOOK 3 DAYS TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE IT AND SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE CONTROL. THEY REPLACED IT $493!

THEY CALLED BACK LATER THAT DAY WITH ANOTHER ESTIMATE OF OVER $500.00. I TOLD THEM I WAS NOT PAYING ANOTHER CENT TO REPAIR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR THE FIRST TIME. HE GAVE ME SOME STORY ABOUT IT COULD BE 1001 PROBLEMS THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM AND I TOLD HIM THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A DIAGNOSTIC TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THE FIRST TIME. LONG STORY SHORT I DID NOT PAY THE $500.00 TO FIX MY TRAVERSE A SECOND TIME FOR A REPEAT PROBLEM. THE WORKER MADE IT SEEM LIKE HE DID ME A FAVOR FOR NOT CHARGING ME.

NOW TODAY, FRIDAY, I HOP ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO TRAFFIC AND BAM RIGHT AS I AM MERGING, DING DING AND MY CAR JUST REVS AND WON'T GET UP PAST 40 MPH, ALL THE SAME SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON. SO SCARY! I HAVE MY LITTLE KIDS IN THE BACKSEAT AND TERRIFIED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE EISENHOWER, SLOWLY GET TO THE NEXT EXIT AS I PRAY WE WON'T GET REAR ENDED. CALL AS SOON AS I MAKE IT HOME FOR ANOTHER APPT AND THE FIRST TIME ANY CHEVY DEALER NEAR ME HAS OPEN IS 4 DAYS FROM NOW. LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE PARKED AT HOME FOR THE NEXT 4 DAYS. IT REALLY FRUSTRATES ME THAT WE BOUGHT THIS "RELIABLE FAMILY VEHICLE" THAT I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN. IT'S EVEN WORSE NOW GOOGLING THIS ISSUE AND SEEING MANY OTHER HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE FOR US. *TR

FOUR TIMES TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING MY CHEVY TRAVERSE THE TRACTION CONTROL WENT OFF, THE STABILITY CONTROL WENT OFF, AND A MESSAGE FLASHED THAT I COULD EXPERIENCE A REDUCTION IN POWER, WHICH HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE NOTIFICATION. THE CAR BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT SAFELY OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME LAST YEAR BUT WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY 2011 TRAVERSE, IT WOULD REDUCE ENGINE POWER AND ADVISE SERVICE. IT WOULD DROP POWER TO THE POINT CAR WAS NOT DRIVE ABLE. I WOULD SHUT CAR OFF. WAIT AND THEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT AT LOW SPEEDS (15 MPH). THIS OF COURSE CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

HAVE HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE THE STABILITY TRACK HAS COME ON AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF WAIT 10 MINUTES AND RESTART AND FINALLY IT GOES OFF. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS I WAS DRIVING THE LIGHT COMES ON SAYING ENGINE POWER REDUCING AND IT DROPS SPEED DOWN TO WHERE I HAVE TO PULL OVER NOT TO GET HIT. I PULL OVER TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND IT STARTS BUT REDUCES POWER AGAIN AND TURNS ITSELF OFF THIS HAPPENS ABOUT THREE TIMES BEFORE I GIVE UP. I THEN HAVE TO CALL A TOW TRUCK WHEN THEY ARRIVE AND TRIES TO START IT DOES START NOW. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS. *TR

VEHICLE WAS 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE W/ AWD WITH HISTORY (FOUR INSTANCES) OF ENGINE OIL LEAKS/REQUIRING ENGINE REMOVAL AND REINSTALL. VEHICLE WAS ON INTERSTATE WHEN AWD/VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS WENT ON. DIC INDICATED 'SERVICE STABILTRACK', 'SERVICE AWD' AND 'AWD DISABLED'. AT THAT TIME, VEHICLE WAS 'CHUGGING' BUT SHORTLY AFTER CHUGGING GOT MUCH WORSE TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED AT CRUISE, OR WITHOUT CRUISE UP NORMAL HILLS ON AN INTERSTATE. WHEN GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED FURTHER, RPM/SPEED WOULD INCREASE BUT THEN DROP SHARPLY (500-1000RPM) MULTIPLE TIMES AND NO FURTHER POWER COULD BE APPLIED. VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 50MPH AT THE TOP OF A HILL. HAPPENED FOR THE NEXT 15-20 MILES UNTIL IT COULD BE PULLED OVER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ONCE RIGHT AFTER ORIGINAL OCCURRENCE, ALL THREE LIGHTS HAD GONE OFF AT POINT AND VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT. SERVICE CENTER INDICATED A WHEEL CENSOR (FRONT RIGHT) WAS READING DEFECTIVE INFORMATION. THEY CLEANED 'DUST' FROM THE SENSOR. HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES/RESULTS. SERVICE CENTER INDICATED WHEEL SENSOR WAS BAD, THEY REPLACED (AT MY COST) AND HAD NO FURTHER INSTANCES FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS. SIMILAR SITUATION HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY (7/19/2014, CONDITIONS AND RESULTS). HOWEVER, THE ENGINE CHUGGING WAS MUCH WORSE AND VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY ON THE INTERSTATE, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SAFE INTERSTATE SPEED. *TR

JUNE 2014. WAS DRIVING ON CITY EXPRESSWAY WHEN SUDDENLY "SERVICE STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF" CAME ON. OUR SUV SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER. TOOK TRUCK TO CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPT. SERVICE PERFORMED. TECH SAID HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. DID NOTE THAT I HAD OTHER RECALLS PENDING ON VEHICLE. JULY 2014. WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 40 AT 11 P.M. AND WAS 80 MILES FROM HOME. I WAS DRIVING ALONE. SUDDENLY "SERVICE STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF" CAME ON. SUV STARTED LOSING POWER. WAS UNABLE TO GET ABOVE 65. AT SOME POINTS RPM WAS HIGH THEN LOSS OF POWER. SUV FELT AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO CUT OFF. HAVE READ IN A FORUM ([XXX]) THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF TRAVERSES. WE PURCHASED THIS SUV TWO YEARS AGO AND REALLY LIKE IT AS IT'S PERFECT FOR ME AS I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY DISABLED IRAQI WAR VETERAN HUSBAND TO AND FROM HIS VA MEDICALS AND WE TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE A LOT. IS THIS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADD TO ITS RECALL? WE LOVE OUR VEHICLE BUT NOW HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN ABOUT THIS VEHICLE'S SAFETY. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH RATES OF SPEEDS, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY LIGHTS UP WITH ALL KINDS OF MESSAGES. IT SAYS TO CHECK TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCING ENGINE POWER. THE ENGINE REDUCES POWER AND WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS IT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. AT FIRST I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS ICE BUILDUP BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES I LOOKED ONLINE WHERE I CAME ACROSS A FORUM AND FOUND OUT THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CHEVY TRAVERSE OWNERS WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND I ALMOST GOT SMASHED FROM BEHIND BY PEOPLE GOING OVER 70MPH. THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. THE TRAVERSE WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THEY STATED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN SINCE THE THROTTLE BODY IS PART OF THE ENGINE. HOW CAN A VEHICLE 2-3YEARS OLD AND HAVE A 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY NOT BE COVERED. AFTER TALKING TO A FEW CHEVY PEOPLE I FOUND OUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER TYPES OF GM VEHICLES TOO. THEY STATED THERE HAS BEEN BULLETINS PUT OUT ON EARLIER MODELS BUT NEVER A ACTUAL RECALL. I CALLED GM CORPORATE BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT. VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

Mileage: 55,000

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MULTIPLE WARNINGS AND LIGHTS CAME ON AND SPEED WAS REDUCED BY THE ENGINE TO 20 MPH FROM 65MPH. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND US AT THE TIME WE WOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HIT BECAUSE OF THE RAPID DECELERATION. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY ON THE ENGINE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN CHEVROLET VEHICLES, AND BECAUSE OF THE MANNER OF THE VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN SO RAPIDLY I FEAR THAT THERE HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY BEEN ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

Mileage: 58,000

TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, SUDDENELY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THEN ENGINE POWERED DOWN, I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE MARCH 5, 2014. AT SHOP NOW WILL COST ME OVER $500.00 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH, AND HIT A SMALL BUMP WHERE A BRIDGE ENDS AND THE PAVEMENT RESUMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS SERVICE STABILTRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER INDICATORS. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, BUT AT A VERY REDUCED SPEED. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE "THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR" TO BE FAULTY, AND AFTER REPLACING THAT ITEM THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR COST WAS $540. I AM TOLD THAT THESE ARE A COMMON PROBLEM BOTH BY THE DEALER AS WELL AS BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. I AM SURPRISED THAT: 1. A PART SUCH AS THIS IS FAILING IN A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES 2. THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY. *TR

Mileage: 43,094

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING THAT "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANOTHER ALERT CAME ON STATING THAT "ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED". I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE FULLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET IT BUT THE SAME ALERTS CAME BACK ON MINUTES LATER. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CHEVY/GM SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECALLING THIS PART. *TR

WAS AT TARGET ONE EVENING AND NOTICED A SWEET UNUSUAL SMELL COMING FROM THE TRAVERSE. I TOOK A LOOK UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND NOTICED PINK SUBSTANCE DRIPPING FROM THE ENGINE. UPON LEAVING TARGET I NOTICED THAT THE ARM ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS HIGHER THAN NORMAL. I DROVE 40MPH FOR A MILE AND THE GAUGE SHOT UP TO THE TOP. I WAS 25 MINUTES FROM HOME. I HAD TO STOP 6 TIMES TO LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME AND I HAD ALL FOUR OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME AS WELL. IT TOTALLY FREAKED THEM OUT. I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR THE WEEKEND AS I NEEDED TRANSPORTATION TO GET AROUND. I HAD A COMPANY THAT WILL COME TO YOUR HOME TO FIX YOUR CAR. FOUND OUT IT WAS MY FUEL PUMP. AFTER 4 HOURS OF LABOR AND $400.00 LATER IT WAS FIXED. FOUR MONTHS LATER, TODAY MAY 10, 2013 AS I'M DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR BEGINS TO BEEP AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND SERVICE STABILITRAK SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF DISPLAYS IN THE DISPLAY WINDOW. IT SEEMED AS IF IT WAS HARD TO ACCELERATE AS WELL. THIS IS THE 2ND THING THAT IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE FAIRLY EXPENSIVE TO FIX THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR. IT IS THE WEEKEND AND NOW HAVE TO TRY AND FIND A PLACE TO TAKE MY CAR AND HAVE IT SERVICED. SEEING NOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SPECIFIC COMPONENT ON THE CAR, CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THIS CAR AND FIX THIS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THINGS THAT CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN ON THIS VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CANNOT CONTINUE TO FINANCIALLY BE ABLE TO DO THIS. *TR

WE WERE MOVING FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO WISCONSIN WHICH IS A 1,000 MILE TRIP. ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 9TH, 2013 WE WERE ABOUT TO ENTER CINCINNATI ON THE SECOND LEG OF OUR TRIP WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE DASH DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRAK SYSTEM FAILED, SOON FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER MESSAGE INDICATING THE ENGINE POWER HAD BEEN REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 60 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER WITH A FEELING OF LOSS OF FIRING CYLINDERS, AND LOSS OF VEHICLE STEERING CONTROL. SO WE PULLED OVER, READ THE BOOK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF LIKE IT SAID, WAITED 15 SECONDS AND THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE CAR WAS FINE AND WE FINISHED THAT LEG OF THE TRIP HOPING NOTHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN. IT HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY STRETCH OF I-75N NEAR COVINGTON, KY AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR. SO I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A GM TECHNICIAN AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS IN CINCINNATI WHO STATED IT PROBABLY IS YOUR THROTTLE BODY AS HE HAD JUST REPAIRED THE SAME ISSUE ON ANOTHER GM CAR. BEING THAT IT WAS SATURDAY, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO AND WE HAD TO STILL TRAVEL AN ADDITIONAL 300 MILES TO WISCONSIN. THE CAR ONLY HAD 45,000 MILES ON IT THE DAY OF INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY FEBRUARY 10 2013 WE CONTINUED OUR TRIP AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF INDIANA THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND AGAIN WE TOOK THE SAME ACTION. AGAIN IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER. ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 19, 2013 I TOOK THE CAR IN TO BE LOOKED AT BY ANDREW CHEVROLET IN GLENDALE, WI AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE SAME. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD GONE BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED FOR $519.00. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THEY TOO HAD CHANGED THEM ON MULTIPLE CARS. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2011 TRAVERSE AND REPAIR THIS PART BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT AND GETS KILLED. I ALSO NOTICED THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN THREE MONTHS NHTSA HAS RECEIVED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR UDPATED 03/14/13
