2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Engine Problems

Vehicle dies while driving in traffic. Has done this since I bought it. Very unsafe. I have had my car since march 2022. While driving it says engine power reduced, traction control, stabli track, and loses power and I have to try to safely make sure I get it off the road. After it dies it won't start. I have to get tow truck to bring it home. Then next day it starts fine sometimes. Very unsafe. I have children . I have barley been able to prevent myself from being in a wreck. When it dies the whole cars jerks. It does it all the time. This last time it was doing it so much I haven't been able to drive it. To afraid of accident.

It happened several times already and couple of times was so dangerous, I had 4 kids in my car. When I drive from Salem, OR to Portland, OR, in the middle of a highway, my car suddenly doesn't drive. On the dashboard signs are traction controll and stability track or something. Please help me. When it happens, car doesn't drive and stops on freeway. It's so dangerous.

I was parking in front of a restaurant- my foot was on the brake and as I came to a stop the engine revved up and the car surged forwarded about 5 feet - The car pushed a pole and blew out the front door and the door frame- all this time my foot was on the brake. If someone was walking in to the restaurant they surly would have been killed. NO warning lamps or lights-I have not taken it to the dealer yet the body shop still has it. There was no police report the accident was on private property. If the dealer gives me the runaround I'll get rid of this car.

I’ve told penland automotive llc car dealer Joey my vehicle cuts off while I’m driving me & my kids have been in 8 near death experience & I’ve been in 6 by myself I went to trade it in because that’s not safe & I’ve done plenty of work on it I’ve told him the service stabiltack keeps shutting it off & im scared he says it’s nothing he can do about it & I’ve only had this vehicle a year it started before the 1 year anniversary on the truck!! Him not doing nothing is not ok!! I thought it needed a tune up but I really didn’t so I paid out that for nothing! I’ve also went to green light Chevrolet in Laurens they said it was a corrosion fuse box but a fuse box no lights of nothing would be working & I paid out $135 just for them to look at it & tell me that I told them what it was saying & they said the fuse box negative I went on YouTube & asked other mechanics they said it’s a part that needs to be cleaned or it will catch fire they would do it but they can’t because im making payments & it’s stuff that Chevy would have to do! I’m trying to get help some where before this truck get me or me & my kids killed

This had occurred more than 4 times. I was at the stop light, when the light turned turned I proceeded to press on the gas pedal and my vehicle started to shake/vibrate. Then the transmission light turned followed by the advanced traffic control light and low engine power. I was unable to go past 10mph..I drive my vehicle on the freeway/highway everyday for work and my children are always with. This makes it very unsafe for me and my family because I don't know when this issue will happen. I have taken it 2 times to the transmission specialist and mechanic but the codes do not always appear only when this issues occurs.

We were on a trip to Kansas from Wisconsin and the check engine light went on StabiliTrak warning came on. The vehicle then cut speed from 70 to 30 mph we had to ride the shoulder for 5 mi to the nearest truck stop to investigate issue we had to purchase an OBD tester and code 1682 came up. After doing reviews at the truck stop I clean the throttle body put it back together I also had to replace the purge valve canister which then got us another 10 mi down the road before the same code popped up. Got the car back home after it going off several more times nearly killing us multiple times on the interstate having to pull to the side of the shoulder to avoid traffic. Did more research only to find out that thousands of other people have had the same issue. This could cost thousands of dollars replacing parts attached to this code only to find out that it's a bad contact in the fuse box under the hood. What will it take multiple people dying from this issue. It doesn't seem like anything has been taken care of on the GM side of things. Please let me know if the dealership will pay for this or if I have to pay for this out of my own pocket as this is a known issue. Thank you. The car has since been parked in the garage and I have been trying to connect the dots through traverse forums this car is no longer safe to drive and we cannot afford to take it to a dealership at this time.

My 2013 Chevy Traverse LT began Very ruff Idling, Battery Charging system, Traction control, Stabilitytrak, and Check engine lights would come on. Smoke coming from engine area. Had Vehicle towed to dealer. The same day I got it back had the same problem. The truck cuts off while driving down the street almost creating multiple accidents. The first time this happened, I was on the expressway driving about 60 MPH when the traction control light came on, the truck reduced power and completely cut off while driving. An 18 wheeler truck that had slam on breaks to keep from rear ending me. This most recent time this issue came about, While driving on a city street, suddenly the truck did the ruff idol and cut off while driving. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler again. Thank god these 18 wheeler truck drivers had the skills to make it around me. I am so scared to drive the truck. At this point i want to get rid of it but I'm scared someone else may get my truck and have an even worse outcome. I have had this issue so many times that I fear this will happen in a even more dangerous spot and this truck will get me killed in a really bad accident. I am Highly recommending that GM or someone look into removing this truck from the roadways of America as this is hazardous to all drivers driving safely down the road. My truck is currently being looked at by the dealer and GM. I am not looking to drive this vehicle ever again. Some of the issues has been: Code P0107 map sensor Alternator began smoking Stability Trak dashboard lights come on and engine looses power Traction control light comes on and truck cuts off battery charging system light comes ruff idol and truck cuts off Under hood Fuse box will short out and cause multiple electrical issues Purge Valve broken Power steering hose went bad Coolant hose connector broke 2 times in the same spot Please look into this issue with this model, this is very unsafe and dangerous for the road.

Was driving down the road and the seat belt warning came on even though the seat belts were buckled and the car suddenly lost power the traction control light blinked I tried to give the car gas and it acted like it did not want to go I pulled over and cut it off and let it sit for a minute and then cut it back on and it's drove fine

DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED WHEN "TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT OFF" INDICATOR CAME ON, THEN VEHICLE STARTED TO REDUCE SPEED, "ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR POWER OFF". VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE LS ON 5/6/2030, A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, I BROUGHT IT BACK THREE TIMES TO SUN USED CARS, ALL WITHIN MY WARRANTY PERIOD AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO NOW THEY WILL NO LONGER FIX THE VEHICLE, AND I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SLIPPING. I THINK IT MAY BE ELECTRICAL BECAUSE WHEN IT WON'T SHIFT AND YOU TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WILL SHIFT GEARS. THERE IS ALSO 4 AIR BAG SENSORS THAT ARE SHOWING UP AS AN ISSUE THAT STARTED AFTER THE RELAY SWITCH FOR THE LOCKS WERE FIXED.

IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY 2013 CHEV TRAVERSE HAS HAD THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER PROBLEM EXPERIENCED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS. IT HAS HAPPENED GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND 30 MPH ON CITY STREETS. USUALLY I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN OFF THE ENGINE FOR A MINUTE THEN THE CAR WILL START AND OPERATE AS NORMAL FOR A FEW DAYS OR A FEW WEEKS. IN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO AVOID A TRACTOR TRAILER IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. AFTER THE CAR SAT IDLE FOR A DAY IT STARTED UP. CODES WERE CLEARED AND IT RAN NORMALLY AGAIN FOR WEEKS. LAST WEEK WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING, BUT STILL IMPACTING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. A LOCAL POLICE OFFICER HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR FURTHER OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SIDEWALK. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. 24 HOURS LATER THE CAR STARTED OK. CODES WERE CLEARED AND IT ONCE AGAIN COULD OPERATE NORMALLY. MY MECHANIC CONSULTED TO A GM MECHANIC AND THEY AGREED THE PROBLEM IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. MY TRAVERSE HAS NOT HAD A RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH REPLACEMENT. I AM AWARE THAT GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS HAVE KILLED OVER (100) GM VEHICLE OWNERS. MILLIONS OF GM CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED BY REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH, IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND IGNITION KEY. MANY MORE GM VEHICLES LIKE MY 2013 CHEV TRAVERSE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED OR MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE. IN FACT MY GUESS IS HUNDREDS OF ADDITIONAL DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS HAVE DIED AND THE PROBLEM IGNITION SWITCH WAS NOT BLAMED FOR THESE ADDITIONAL DEATHS.

AFTER DRIVING USING THE A/C DURING RAIN (LIGHT TO MEDIUM DOWNFALL) WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE GINSENG OFF. TURNING THE KEY WAS WAS REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. TO TURN OFF ENGINE THE POSITIVE CABLE HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. ONCE THIS WAS DONE ALL FUSES WHERE CHECKED TO ENSURE NONE WHERE DAMAGED OR SHORTING. THIS IS WHEN IT WAS REALIZED THAT THE A/C VENTS WHERE LOCATED JUST ABOVE THE MAIN FUSE BOX AND THE CONDENSATION FLOODED THE BOX WITH WATER CAUSING THE IGNITION SAFETY CIRCUITS TO SHORT AND NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF.THIS WAS ALSO MADE CLEAR ONLINE WHEN DOING A SEARCH TO TRY TO SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN WITH OUT DAMAGING IT. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES AND THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION BUT STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS A CONCERN DUE TO THE TURNING OFF OF THE KEY BUT THE ENGINE IS STILL ON AND THE DRIVE SELECTOR CAN STILL BE MOVED INTO GEAR. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE SHORTS TO ANY OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE MAIN FUSE PANEL OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.

WAS TOLD WE HAD A FRONT COVER LEAK. FOUND OUT THE SEALANT USED TO SEAL THE FRONT COVER TO THE ENGINE BLOCK BREAKS DOWN PREMATURELY AND CAUSES AN OIL LEAK. WITHOUT REMOVING THE ENGINE AND REDOING THE SEAL, THE ENGINE COULD FAIL. IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE CAUSED BY A POOR DESIGN. WE ARE NOW PAYING $2,700.00 TO HAVE OUR ENGINE COVER "RE-CAULKED" TO AVOID AN ENGINE FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE LTZ, 109K MILES, I'M ON MY 3RD POWER STEERING PUMP. BOUGHT USED IN JULY 2018, REPLACED THE PUMP BACK IN MAY 2019, I PROVIDED THE PUMP AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY REPLACED IT AND CHARGED ME $600 FOR LABOR AND THE NEXT DAY IT OUT OUT AGAIN (TURNS OUT IT WAS ACTUALLY A BAD PUMP, BRAND NEW BUT BAD ) SO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY'D SWAP IT OUT FOR THE COST OF LABOR, I DIDN'T HAVE ANOTHER $600 TO THROW AWAY SO I REPLACED IT WITH SOME HELP AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY, WE USED THE DEXT. IV FLUID AS SUGGESTED AND IT'S BEEN RUNNING GREAT, NO MORE WHINE AND STEERS LIKE A DREAM. WELL IT'S NOW JULY 2019 AND THE PUMP IS OUT AGAIN. NO VISIBLE LEAKS AND THE FLUID LEVEL IS GOOD AND FLUID STILL RED. IF I GET RID OF THIS I'M GOING BACK TO FORD FOR A VEHICLE, THIS IS MY FIRST CHEVROLET AND ALSO MY LAST. IF THE PUMP WENT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I DRIVE ALL HIGHWAY AND IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER. I CAN STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN THE RPMS ARE LOW IT'S LIKE MANUAL STEERING, FORGET GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH OR PARKING UP FRONT ANYWHERE!

OUR TRAVERSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY BUT IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON OUR GRAVEL ROAD GOING 30 MPH. THE TRAVERSE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN DISPLAY "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, IT WILL SAY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF." DURING ONE OF THE TIMES, IT HAPPENED THE STEERING COLUMN ALSO LOCKED UP. THE ENGINE SHAKES ENOUGH THAT IT MAKES THE MUFFLER SHAKE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY FOUND A MEMO FROM GM ON HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE JUST SPENT $690 TO GET A NEW FUSE BLOCK AND TERMINAL INSTALLED. SUPPOSEDLY THERE HAD BEEN WATER DAMAGE/CORROSION. OUR TRAVERSE HAS NEVER BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. HAVING OUR VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN REDUCE POWER HAS LEAD TO SEVERAL ALMOST ACCIDENTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE STEERING ALSO LOCKED. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SIMILAR TO A PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN RECALL 14515 WHICH DID INCLUDE 2009-2014 TRAVERSES. ACCORDING TO CHEVROLET MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. I THINK THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALL BUT DIFFERENT.

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR IN 2017 IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING OFTEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL LOSE ENGINE POWER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUTS OFF AND THE CAR STARTS SHAKING. I THEN PULL OVER AND WAIT A FEW MINS AND IT STARTS BACK UP. BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO BE TOLD IT MIGHT BE THE FUSE BOX BUT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO ITS GONNA COST $600. ALL OVER THE CAR SITES ONLINE PEOPLE REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH FUSE BOXES FROM 2009-2014 TRAVERSE. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED????? I HAVE 3 SMALL KIDS AND I AM TERRIFIED TO PUT THEM IN THE CAR AND IT'S NOT WORTH IT FINANCIALLY TO TRADE IT NOR AN OPTION AT THIS POINT. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM. TODAY IT WOULDN'T START BACK UP AND HAD TO BE TOWED. WAS DOING 70MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC!!!!

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION ARE JERKY SOMETIMES. IT FEELS OCCASIONALLY LIKE I HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. I FEEL LIKE IT TRIES TO ACCELERATE WHILE I AM APPLYING THE BREAKS. WHEN I AM TRYING TO APPLY THE GAS SOMETIMES IT HAS NO POWER AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN HARDER WHICH LEADS IT TO JERK FORWARD. HARD GEAR SHIFTING LOTS OF SHAKING AND LURCHING. IT IS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM DESCRIBES BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T ONE INVOLVED IN THAT YET, BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE.

Mileage: 2,000

WHEN VEHICLE IS ACCELLERATED FROM A STILL POSITION, AND ACCELERATED TO GET UP TO SPEED, VEHICLE ENGINE HAS A CONSTANT JERKING THAT VIBRATES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND ONCE UP TO ROAD OR HIGHWAY SPEED, AND MAINTAINS A CONSTANT MPH, THE SHAKING STOPS. WHEN ACCELERATING AGAIN,VEHICLE DOES THE SAME THING; JERKING / SHAKING UNTIL LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LEVELING OUT AT A CERTAIN MPH.. AIR CONDITIONER IS CONSTANTLY 'GOING OUT' DURING THE SUMMER, BLOWING ONLY HOT AIR, THEN AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, AND SOME TIME GOES BY, SOMETHING IN THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER SYSTEM MUST RESET ITSELF BECAUSE THE A/C WILL START WORKING FINE ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED BACK IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE, POWER TO THE ENGINE DIMINISHED, TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED ON THE THIRD VISIT WITH AN UNKNOWN DIAGNOSIS AND WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AND CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD NO WARNING AND NO ABILITY TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT A PIECE IN THE ENGINE HAD FALLEN OR BROKEN AND DAMAGED THE PISTON, THE CYLINDER AND THE HEAD OF THE ENGINE. AS THE MECHANIC SAID, IT WAS A "CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE." THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE IN THE CAR AND THEN ONE DAY LATER, AFTER HAVING THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 32 DAYS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING AND THEY REPLACED IT. GM TOLD ME THAT THE PIECE THAT FELL HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED PROPERLY AND THIS WAS MISSED ON THE FINAL INSPECTION. NOT ONLY AM I CONCERNED BY HAVING HAD THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY, MOREOVER IN A NEW CAR, BUT THE SUDDEN STOPPING OF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING IS THE SAME THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE CARS THAT HAVE RECENTLY BEEN RECALLED BY GM. I GOT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF ITS GOOD SAFETY PROFILE HOWEVER NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND SECURE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR
