2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

It sways left to right really bad.. but when it rains or even even the car detected that it's going to rain.. as soon as the car senses it is going to rain u can't even drive it.. it like hydro plains even before it starts to officially rain.. very dangerous plus I had to replace the two back tires because they seemed like they were being forced and drug that all u seen was wires coming out of the tread

The air conditioning stopped working after working amazing, Traction Control Disabled light keeps coming on, The RPM's would rev up seems like it gets stuck then drops to normal. stabilitrak messages with the ABS warning light lit up, Power steering (or power control) goes limp (at the worse times pulling out in traffic) It’s on issue after the other. Once I get one fixed another goes, then we’re back to the first one that was replaced that is now not working again. I still have a car payment so I’m without my car more than I’m driving it. I have to save up to get it fixed, and I won’t drive it until I know for sure it’s good. I was almost killed way to many times in it so to all the issues that GM knows about.

I was driving down the freeway at about 67 MPH when the message "Traction Control Disabled" came on my display & the car immediately went into "limp mode"! By some miracle I was able to muscle the car out of the slow lane, onto the shoulder as I lost my power steering once in limp mode. I waited a few minutes, car started up just fine, so I shrugged it off. Fast forward 1 week later & the same thing happened to me on my way home on a curvy mountain road. The power steering was again non-existent & luckily, there was no one behind me, nor did anyone come around the corner & hit my disabled car. Once again, it started up, no problem; however, this is when the harsh forward thrust started happening, & the transmission seemed to be slipping gears. The RPM's would rev to the 6000 range & immediately fall down to 1500. I took it to the dealer & sadly paid $3,400 for a new tranny on a 5-year-old car. (No warranty, of course). I started having the same issues about 2 years later, only this time the driver was not so lucky as they were mid-curve on the mountain road. Right as the roadway came out of the bend, the car went into limp mode, power steering lost & wheels stuck in a right turn position, car went off the roadway & into a telephone pole, broke that in half due to the angle of the pole in the mountainside & down the steep embankment about 40-50 feet. All airbags deployed & driver was able to walk away (hike away) but the car was a total loss. Driver was traveling 40-45 mph. There was no indication, no warning, just from travel to nothing.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER, OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL ALMOST LIKE IT IS ATTEMPTING TO GRAB GEARS WHILE DOWN SHIFTING AND IT WILL CAUSE THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO SHAKE, IT HAS HAPPENED SO HARD I HAVE HAD TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE FOR WORRY OF MINE AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY. THE VEHICLE UPON ENTERING WILL SLAM INTO GEAR AND WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS THE TRANSMISSION EVEN FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AND THE CAR WILL JERK BACK AND FOURTH UNTIL IT GRABS A HIGHER GEAR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2018 WITH JUST OVER 100,000 MILES AND EVEN NOW THE VEHICLE IS ONLY SITTING AT ROUGHLY 132,000 MILES AND HAS HAS REGULAR SERVICES TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE TRAVERSE HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE INCLUDING OLDER AND NEWER VEHICLES, AND MOST HAVE RESULTED IN TORQUE CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DOWNSHIFT FOR TAKE OFF AND HAS ALSO DONE SO WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THE ISSUE WAS ORIGINALLY NOTICED TOWARDS THE END OF 2019- TO EARLY 2020 AND HAS PROCEEDED TO GET SO BAD WE NO LONGER TRUST THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE FOR FAMILY TRIPS OR EVEN TO ROUTINE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS FOR FEAR OF THE VEHICLE STALLING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

P0019, P0018 STABILITY TRACK ISSUES AND REDUCE ENGIN POWER AND I WAS DRIVING WHEN HAPPEN AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF

Mileage: 164,160

RECENTLY I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. FIRST AT 40MPH AND THEN MORE RECENTLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ALSO TODAY THE STABILTRACK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT IT REQUIRED SERVICE. RPM'S AND SPEEDOMETER ALSO WOULD FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT POINT TO THE THROTTLE BODY HAVING OIL BLOW BY THROUGH THE THROTTLE BODY AS THERE IS NO CHECK VALVE TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. I WILL BE CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY TO SEE IF IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO SEEN THAT THE BRAKE POSITION SENSOR COULD BE THE CULPRIT AS WELL. I REPLACED THE IGNITION COILS AFTER SEEING THE ENGINE FLUCTUATIONS, BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE SPARKS PLUGS AS THEY WERE RECENTLY REPLACED UNDER 6K MILES AGO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A LONG STANDING AND WIDE DISPERSED ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. MANY HAVE SEEN THE POWER DROP WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THIS BUG COULD CAUSE THE MASS DAMAGE OF A TRANSMISSION IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IF IT WERE TO DROP TO 2ND GEAR FROM 5TH OR 6TH ON AUTOMATIC DRIVE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF. WHEN THIS MESSAGE COMES ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION PANEL, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES APPEAR: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND SERVICE STABILITYTRAC SYSTEM. AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER YOU'RE DRIVING 5 MILES AN HOUR OR 55+ MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF THE TEMPERATURE IS UNDER 40 DEGREES, IT HAPPENS MORE TIMES THAN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS GREATER THAN 40 DEGREES. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE TEMPERATURE DIPS VERY LOW. I DRIVE A MINIMUM OF 300 MILES A DAY M-F AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OF MY RESOURCES. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL, IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND WAIT FOR 3-5 MINUTES. THIS WILL RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL BUT IT DOES NOT TURN OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

WAS BRINGING MY CHILDREN HOME FROM SCHOOL AND ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, REDUCED MY SPEED AND I COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SO QUICKLY GOT OFF THE ROAD. LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED. TURNED OFF THE CAR FEW SECONDS AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME LUCKILY I WASN'T TO FAR.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AGO FROM TAYLOR CHEVROLET. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR SOME SENSOR ISSUES THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO ME AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO FIX WHEN "A PART CAME IN" THEY NEVER CALLED SO I HAD TO CONTACT THEM WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED HAVING ISSUES. THIS IS WHERE I HAVE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE TODAY WHEN A SEMI ALMOST HIT ME WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHICH APPARENTLY IS AN ISSUE ON THESE TRUCKS THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THE CONTROL PANEL IS DISPLAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE LOSING POWER. I LOST A DAY OF WORK SO FAR AND NEED MY VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN MY BILLS AND KEEP MY JOB. THIS ALL HAPPENED ONE DAY AFTER GETTING MY TRUCK BACK FROM BEING SERVICED

Mileage: 124,000

THE TRUCK LOOSE POWER AND LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL NEED SERVICES SOON AND ENGINE LUCK OF POWER IS TO GO OVER 20 MILES

WHILE DRIVING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL THE DASH DINGS AND SAYS TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 15MPH. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WITH THE KIDS AS IT IS UNSAFE.

Mileage: 117,000

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THEN THE VEHICLE HAS VERY LITTLE POWER TO ACCELERATE OR NAVIGATE HILLS. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED TO ME, I PULLED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND IT JUST WASN'T RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND I HAD VERY LITTLE POWER TO DRIVE FORWARD.

Mileage: 114,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND "STABILITRAK" SUDDENLY APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. NEXT, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. FELDMAN CHEVROLET OF LIVONIA (32570 PLYMOUTH RD, LIVONIA, MI) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *DT*JB

THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN A RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU BUT SITTING IDLE. THEN SEVERAL CODES FLASHED ON MY DASH ABOUT TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK AND LIMP MODE AND IT STARTED TO STINK. WE TOWED IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT TELL WHAT CODE WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE SO HE CLEARED THE CODES AND IT RAN FINE AFTER THAT. AFTER A COUPLE ADDITIONAL TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC, WE DID HAVE A COUPLE ISSUES SEEMINGLY RELATED AND HE ENDED UP REPLACING A COIL AND ALL THE SPARK PLUGS. NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING UP THE ROAD TO OUR HOUSE AND JUST BEFORE TURNING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP ON THE DASH. SHE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND CALLED ME. WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED THE CAR AND GOT THE SAME RESULTS. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THE CAR DID NOT START. AFTER IT ARRIVED AT OUR MECHANIC, HE COULD NOT START IT, AND HE COULD ONLY READ ONE CODE AND IT SAID NONDEFINING CODE AND HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HE THEN CLEARED THE CODE AND IT IS RUNNING FINE AGAIN. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND SHE WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND CANNOT BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT HAPPENED. JUST LOOK AT THIS: [XXX] I AM NOT SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR A NON CHEVY VEHICLE. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE, RECEIVED ERRORS "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF". SHE SAID THE VEHICLE COULDN'T GO ABOVE 20 MPH AND SHE WAS ON A 50MPH ROAD. SHE WAS VERY FRANTIC WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR. DROVE IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO TOLD US IT'S A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR ISSUE GOING TO COST $400. STARTED SEARCHING AND FOUND MANY FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND APPEARS NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG. VERY UNSAFE. NEED A RECALL. HAPPENING TOO OFTEN.

WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON I-95 NORTH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HEAR DING DING DING THEN LOOSE POWER AND CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE. SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON IN DASH. VEHICLES BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME AS MY CAR SLOWED FOR NO REASON AND NO BRAKE LIGHTS. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND SCARY TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MANY ANGRY MOTORISTS HONKING AND DISPLAYING RUDE GESTURES AS I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD VEHICLE TOWED AND TOLD WAS A SENSOR THAT CAUSED IT. NOW 3 LATER SAME THING DRIVING HOME FROM CHEERLEADING PRACTICE WITH 3 YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR. I HAVE READ MANY CASES OF SAME THING WITH THIS TYPE CAR ON CHEVY TRAVERSE FORUMS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A ON A BUSY STREET VEHICLE- APPROX 30MPH - UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED / DOWNSHIFTED TO A CRAWL. WE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND NARROWLY AVOIDED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS OF PEOPLE BEHIND US. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AS OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. ALSO, DOOR LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN. ONCE WE GOT TO A SAFE SPOT MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY BEGAN FLASHING, SERVICE STABILTRAK; SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL; PARK ASSIST OFF; TRACTION CONTROL ON; TRACTION CONTROL OFF. TOWED THIS CAR TO THE DEALER FOR AN EXORCISM SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE. FIRST THING THEY DID WAS REPLACE THE BATTERY. AS THEY TELL IT A BAD / FUNKY BATTERY MIGHT CAUSE BAD THINGS TO THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION MODULE. $400 LATER ISSUES PERSIST. NOW I AM TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OUTRIGHT - $5500. THIS JUST CAN'T BE RIGHT. THIS IS BARELY 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH JUST OVER $115K. SERVICED REGULARLY / WITHOUT FAIL. SHAME ON YOU CHEVROLET. I'M BETTING NO CHEV EXEC, DEALER OR MECHANIC WOULD EVER TRUST THIS CAR FOR THEIR FAMILY VEHICLE

PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND CHECK ENGINE STARTED FLASHING THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL SAID IT WAS OFF AND THE STABILIZATION TRAK SERVICE THE POWER OF THE VECHICAL WENT DOWN AND STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED 15 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT IT HESITATED AND WAS DEALING ROUGH.. STABILIZER CONTROL ON FLASHES ON THE SCREEN AND CHECK ENGINE WENT SOLID AND CAR SEEMED FINE. I'M NOW CALLING THE DEALER SHIP TO GET IT IN. BUT I READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY NO RECALL? D CAR WAS SHAKING.

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE RD WITH MY TODDLER WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY THE CAR BEGAN TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR THAT SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRACK NEEDS SERVICING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND WITH CARS FLYING BY IT WAS TERRYING TRYING TO PULL OFF SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER PULLING OFF I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGES. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IT STRUGGLED TO MOVE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THEN WAITED 10 MINUTES. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT NO OTHER MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3/30/17. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. THE SERVICE ADVISORS CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ONLY NOTED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THIS COULD POSSIBLY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I PAID BELIEVING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED AGAIN DRIVING ON A CITY RD AND I WAS NEARLY STRUCK FROM BEHIND AGAIN AND STRUGGLED TO SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS TIME MY HUSBAND AND 2 OTHER CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE SAME DASH NOTIFICATIONS AND AFTER GETTING IT STARTED I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP ON 3/17/18. I SHOWED THEM THE PICS AND WAS ADAMANT I WOULD NOT GET IN THE CAR AGAIN UNLESS IT WAS FIXED. THEY ASSURED ME IT WOULD BE FIXED THIS TIME. A FEW DAYS LATER THEY STATED THE FUEL PUMP FUEL LINES AND FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MY SECOND EXPERIENCE I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

THE STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCES.WHEN I TOOK TO THE MECHANIC NOTHING SHOWS ON THE COMPUTER AS WRONG OR HAS BEEN WRONG. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THE CRUISE CONTROL WONT WORK AND I HAD TO PUSH REALLY HARD ON GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR

Mileage: 85,000

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED 10/11/17 ON I-40. MY CAR STARTED "JERKING" AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DECELERATED TO APPROX 35 MPH. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. A NTFCN CAME ON THAT ALL OF MY ASSISTS WERE OFF (PARKING, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRACK). A NTC ALSO APPEARED THAT SAID TO SERVICE STABILITRAK. WHEN I GO TO PRESS MY BRAKE THERE IS A NOISE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT "JUMPS" WHEN I GO TO PRESS IT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT AND HAD IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER BUT NO CODES APPEAR SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY THE SENSORS ARE FINE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. NO DEALER IS GOING TO TAKE A FAULTY CAR AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY OWNERS HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND A RESOLUTION FOR THEIR PROBLEM WHICH LEAVES ME VERY DISHEARTENED. NOW I AM STUCK IN A CAR THAT CAN'T BE FIXED AND I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

Mileage: 88,000

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY POPS UP WITH A SERVICE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS REDUCE POWER AND ISSUES ACCELERATING. THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR AT STOP LIGHTS AND THE CAR WILL SOMETIME SHUT OFF AN TAKE MULTIPLE TURNOVERS TO RESTART. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL THEN RANDOMLY GO AWAY AND THE CAR START DRIVING NORMALLY AGAIN UNTIL IT RE-OCCURS.WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER 1200 DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE LAST TIME LISTED BELOW.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A FEW YEARS AND EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND OR BATTERY. THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING MY SON TO DAYCARE AND MY SON TO WORK THE CHECK BATTERY SYSTEMS LIGHT CAME ON. I KNOW FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE THAT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. AS EXPECTED A FEW MILES UP THE ROAD THE TRACTION LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND OTHER LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL NOT EVEN TURN ON. AS I STATED BEFORE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I HAVE AS THIS PROBLEM IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED BUT THE ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO LOOK FOR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THESE CARS ARE BUILT TO HOLD FAMILIES. THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT MUCH WARNING IS PUTTING LIVES AT RISK. THE CHEVY TRAVERSE IS A POPULAR CAR FOR FAMILIES BECAUSE OF THE SPACE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FAMILIES HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT BECOMES DEADLY TO TAKE ACTION.

I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE OUT MY DRIVEWAY AS SOON AS I GET TO THE CORNER TO TURN MY STERLING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THEN I HAD TO HURRY UP TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO NOT HIT THE SIGN AND CURB. FINALLY WHEN IT RELEASED I GOT TO THE MAIN ROAD AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20-25 MPH MY VEHICLE RADIO STARTED TO SWITCH FROM FM TO CD ON ITS ON AND THEN I COULDN'T ACELLRATE TO A HIGHER SPEED. THE VEHICLE DISPLAY SHOWED SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ENGINE LOSS BUT IT STALLED OUT TOO. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES NOW! I SEE IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE SINCE 2011 MODELS. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP DOES NOTHING TO FIX THIS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY AND HAVE US GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 1.5 YEARS. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR KILLED WHILE DRIVING ONE. THEY ARE NOT FINDING OUT THE ISSUES OR RECALLING THESE VEHICLES!!

WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH TWO SMALL INFANTS IN THE CAR GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND RAPIDLY LOST SPEED, CAUSING US TO SWERVE INTO THE DITCH AND OTHER CARS BEHIND US SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND NEEDED TO BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY. AFTER CONTACTING GENERAL MOTORS, WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, AND IN SOME CASES AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN GIVEN. WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT FIT THAT DESCRIPTION BECAUSE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACILITY AS THE OTHERS. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ERROR AS THE KNOWN ISSUE BUT GENERAL MOTORS IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY ACTION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY.

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE (WITH MY 4 CHILDREN IN TOW) MY CEL, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS CAME ON. MY SPEED WAS REDUCED TO AROUND 45MPH. I HAD TWO SEMIS BEHIND ME, THE ONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME HAD TO GET OVER VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND TOOK THE NEXT EXIT APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES AHEAD. ONCE OFF THE INTERSTATE I SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE, WAITED TWO MINUTES THEN RESTARTED, LIGHTS AND MESSAGES STILL ON. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BUT COULD ONLY GO AROUND 45MPH WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT WANTING TO GO. I PARKED IT AT WORK THEN AT LUNCH I DROVE IT ON CITY STREETS AT 35MPH. I PARKED IT AGAIN AT MY WORK. WHEN I GOT OFF I STARTED THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY HOME. WHEN MY VEHICLE HIT 60MPH THE SAME THING HAPPENED, LUCKILY NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND DRIVE 45MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER STARTING AGAIN THE SAME LIGHTS AND MESSAGES APPEARED. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD MY VIN/YEAR WAS NOT PART OF THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO KNOWING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WHEN I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE STABILE TRACK, AND THE CRUISE KICKED OFF, THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND STARTED TO CHUG. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. CHECKED THE OIL ETC, AND RESTARTED, IT SEEMED FINE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT DID THE SAME THING, EXCEPT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD THREE MORE OCCURANCES WITH THIS AND THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING CLOSER TOGETHER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT IS A REAL CAUSE FOR CONCERN. I HAVE READ THE FORUMS AND MANY WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, AND DREAD TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY IN IT AT THIS TIME. *JS

A WEEK AGO MY TRAVERSE STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKES SO I TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO CHECKED ALL FOUR WHEELS AND DETERMINED THE BRAKES WERE FINE. HE SAID IT WAS POSSIBLY A ROCK OR SOMETHING CAUSING THE NOISE AND IT STOPPED FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS MORNING I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK AND THE STEERING FROZE UP COMPLETELY AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WANT TO WORK EITHER. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR I WAS PARKING NEXT TO! I'M SO GLAD THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OR A MAIN STREET OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. VERY SCARY, BUT WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS? WILL GM BE LOOKING INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT OR HAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT? TAKING BACK TO THE MECHANIC WEDNESDAY TO CHECK THE STEERING PUMP.... NOT HAPPY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TO CHECK POWER CHARGING SYSTEM BUT THEN IT WENT OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF AND THE POWER SAVING MODE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED A FEW MINUTES BY THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT. LATER THAT EVENING I HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT. THE AIR WOULD NOT EVEN COME ON AND I DROVE LESS THAN 2 MILES TO THE SHOP. NEAR THE AUTO SHOP AFTER HAVING THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND TOLD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE INTENT TO RETURN THE NEXT DAY SINCE IT WAS CLOSING TIME AND NO WORK COULD BE DONE. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE POWER FAILURE AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED ON A CAR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 50,000 MILES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 TRAVERSE AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A FLAW OR CAUSE FOR CONCERN OR RECALL.
