ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY HAD MY 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE IN TO MY MECHANIC FOR MAINTENANCE, AS I DO WHEN NEEDED. AFTER MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED, I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP AND IT DROVE JUST FINE FOR FIVE MAYBE TEN MILES, NO ISSUES. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" MESSAGES BEGAN FLASHING. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, MY VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING PROFUSELY AS I WAS DRIVING - IT SLOWED THE SPEED, AND EVENTUALLY QUIT. THE MESSAGES WERE STILL THERE. A FEW MORE MILES DOWN THE ROAD, IT BEGAN JERKING AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT BUT I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE'S HAD IT SINCE THEN (THIS WAS DAYS AGO) AND HE'S HAVING A HARD TIME PINPOINTING THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, I SEE MANY OTHER TRAVERSE OWNERS WHOM ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE, WITH NO RESOLVE. MY VEHICLE HAS UP TO THIS POINT BEEN RELIABLE AND I THOUGHT SAFE, HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE A JOB THAT I NEED TO GET BACK AND FORTH FROM AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT I NEED TO TRANSPORT SAFELY. THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRAVERSE IS BEYOND DANGEROUS. MY TRAVERSE HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT. REALLY DISAPPOINTED.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON FEBRUARY 14 2019, I WENT OUTSIDE TO WARM UP MY CAR. 10 MINUTES LATER WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL PARKED THE WHOLE ENGINE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. NO RECENT WORK HAD BEEN DONE TO THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WORK EVER DONE IN THE 4 YEARS I OWNED IT WERE, NEW TIRES, NEW BATTERY (IN THE BACK SEAT) AND OIL CHANGES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS PAST FRIDAY, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH THEN THE CAR STARTS BEEPING, WITH IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER WITHIN SECONDS, DOWN TO 20MPH. ERROR MESSAGES START FLASHING, THE CAR STARTS SHAKING. ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE PERSON BEHIND ME AS I WASN'T BRAKING, SO THEY, NOR MYSELF, HAD NO INDICATION MY CAR WAS ABOUT COME DOWN TO A CRAWL. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE CAR, GAVE IT A MINUTE, RESTARTED, AND THE CAR WAS BACK TO NORMAL AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED, BUT IT WENT AWAY BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALER (WITHIN 3 MILES), DEALER IS AROUND 8 MILES AWAY. THIS IS THE 4TH INCIDENT WITH THIS SIMILAR ISSUE. ONCE WE WERE WAITING ON A TURNING LANE, THE CAR STARTED BEEPING, SHAKING, DISPLAYING ERRORS ON THE DASHBOARD, LOSS OF POWER AGAIN TO A CRAWL. WE PULLED OVER TO THE FIRST PARKING LOT IN THE INTERSECTION. TURNED OF THE CAR, RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE AGAIN. THEN AGAIN RIGHT AFTER PUTTING GAS. GOT INTO THE CAR TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION, CAR WAS BEEPING, SHAKING, DISPLAYING ERROR MESSAGES ON THE DASH. TURNED IT OFF, RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. ANOTHER TIME, I WAS APPROACHING A LIGHT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED RIGHT BEFORE I WAS TO TURN. I HAD TO PUT IT ON PART TO RESTART THE CAR, ONCE IT STARTED, IT RAN FINE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE A 45 MINUTE COMMUTE TO WORK EVERYDAY. I ALWAYS HAVE TO KEEP TO THE RIGHT LANE IN CASE THE CAR ACTS UP. THE ERROR MESSAGES THAT DISPLAY ARE "SERVICE STABILITY TRACT, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACKING CONTROL TURNED OFF" AND MAYBE ONE OTHER ONE. I'VE SEEN THE MESSAGE BOARDS AND IT'S HAPPENING TO MANY OWNERS AND FOR SEVERAL YEARS! IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LS, 66K MILES, PURCHASED USED IN MAY 2018. AT RANDOM, TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF, REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF. HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, AND ONCE WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY! TURN CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINS, AND IT RUNS NORMALLY, BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, UNTIL THE NEXT DAY THEN ALL IS NORMAL AGAIN. THEN THE CYCLE REPEATS--OVER AND OVER! AFTER SOME RESEARCH, FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (GM #14515), BUT IT DID NOT COVER ALL 2014 TRAVERSES, NOT TO MENTION THIS ISSUE AFFECTS SEVERAL GM MAKES AND MODELS AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 2007!! THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I FIND IT EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT GM HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT VIA FULL FLEDGED RECALL--NOT JUST CERTAIN VEHICLES. THIS IS DANGEROUS!! MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A FEW SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS "FLAW" THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF SINCE THEY ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX IT (BUT NOT FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES). CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND ALTHOUGH THE PERSON WAS NICE, HE SAID NOTHING HELPFUL AT ALL (TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND PAY A $120 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR WHAT? GM KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG), AND ADVISED MY CAR WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. WHY NOT?!?!?!? IT MOST CERTAINLY HAS THE ISSUE FOR WHICH THE RECALL WAS DONE!!! THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE MY CAR DECIDED TO RANDOMLY REDUCE POWER AND/OR SHUT DOWN. UNLESS THAT'S WHAT GM IS WAITING FOR BEFORE THEY DO THE RIGHT THING. AND TO THINK MY FATHER SPENT 36 YEARS WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY...

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING AS SOON AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY. THE FLUID LEVELS ARE WITHIN SPECS AND THERE WAS NO NOISE WARNING INDICATING A PUMP PROBLEM. I FOLLOWED THE LINES AND THE RACK AND PINON AND IT IS COMPLETELY DRY. CANT FIND ANY LEAKS. CHEVY TOLD ME THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM IS ONLY WITH TRAVERSES OF 2009-2011 AND I AM NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL WARRANTY BECAUSE I HAVE A 2014. I PURCHASED THIS TRAVERSE 3 YEARS AGO AT BOB STALL CHEVY LA MESA CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. I EVEN PURCHASED THE EXTENDED 2 YEAR WARRANTY BUT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THE COVERAGE ENDED. I HAVE 82,000 MILES.

THREE MONTHS AGO, THE BACK MOON ROOF MADE A LOUD BANG AND SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE MOON ROOF OR OTHER VEHICLES IN THE AREA. WE HAD IT REPLACED AT A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE MOON ROOF THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OFF AND ON FOR 2 YRS. IVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. IN FACT, I TOOK IT 4 TIMES BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, DRIVE OFF DEALER LOT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AGAIN. FINALLY FIXED IT. 6 MONTHS LATER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN! THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON ALL THE TIME. IT SEEMS TO BE A WIRING ISSUE OR LOOSE FITTING BUT DEALER CANT SEEM TO FIX IT PERMANENTLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL GO ON WHEN I START THE CAR FIRST THING IN THE AM WHILE IM PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT. SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING-DOESNT SEEM TO MATTER IF CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. IVE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE DEALER "FIX" IT BUT ITS NOT FIXED WHATEVER IS THE ISSUE. I ESTIMATE THAT AIR BAG LIGHT HAS GONE ON AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES AND MOST RECENTLY LAST MONTH.
