ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS NOW. I WILL BE DRIVING AND MY SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL LIGHT UP, AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED WILL POP UP. I CAN NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. AT TIMES THE ENGINE WILL BECOME VERY STALLY, JERKY, MY STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES WILL BE VERY HARD TO USE. THESE ARE VERY RANDOM AND NON PATTERNED I WILL HAVE TO SAFELY PULL OVER RATHER IT BE ON A BACK ROAD OR A HIGHWAY WHEREVER IT HAPPENS TURN THE ENGINE OFF FOR 5-20 MINUTES AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY CLEAR EVERYTHING BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT; WHICH WILL CLEAR WITHIN THAT DAY OR THE NEXT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. IT HAS ALSO CAUSE MY KEY TO LOCK UP IN THE IGNITION. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND SCARY. THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND HURT MYSELF, MY KIDS, OR SOMEONE ELSE. IF YOU GOOGLE THE ISSUE THERE ARE TONS OF FORUMS, WEBSITES, BLOGS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE SPENT NUMEROUS HOURS INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, LOTS OF MONEY REPLACING PARTS AS RECOMMENDED OR BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS. GM IS GOING TO HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS WHEN SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OVER THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

IT APPEARED TO RESET SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN WOULD WORK FINE FOR A WHILE. BEFORE THE SAME PROBLEM WOULD COME BACK. THIS TIME WITHOUT THE AIR BAG WARNING. HAPPENED IN SNOWY WET CONDITIONS. IT WAS MULTIPLE TIMES ON A CITY STREET, AND MULTIPLE TIMES ON A HIGHWAY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND INSTANTLY ALL POWER WAS CUT OFF. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRIED TO START ONLY TO HAVE FAILED TO START QUITE A FEW TIMES. AFTER A MINUTE OF SITTING, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. THE CAR STALLED A FEW MORE TIMES AFTER ON THE WAY HOME. THE DASH SAID STABILITRAK NEEDS TO BE SERVICED AND THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. THIS COULD REALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! THIS PROBLEM SEEM TO HAPPEN WHEN I WAS SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE ENGINE IN MY 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE DIED. I HAD ONLY HAD 53K MILES ON THE ENGINE. THIS AVERAGES TO AROUND 10K MILES PER YEAR, WHICH IS BELOW AVERAGE USE. I MAINTAINED THE CAR ACCORDING TO THE CAR OPERATING MANUAL WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE AND FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES PER SCHEDULE ALL AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. LEADING UP TO MY ENGINE DYING, THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE SOME CLINKING NOISE, BUT NO LIGHTS CAME ONE. WHEN THE DASHBOARD PANEL STATED TO CHANGE THE OIL, I WENT WITHIN DAYS TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR A FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE. NO LOW OIL OR ENGINE LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. ACCORDING TO THE OPERATING MANUAL, I HAVE 600 MILES TO CHANGE OIL ONCE THE "CHANGE OIL" MESSAGE APPEARS. I PROBABLY DROVE 60 MILES. AFTER THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE OIL TO FULL SYNTHETIC, AS REQUIRED, THE ENGINE DIED/LOCKED. AT NO POINT, DID THE CAR DRIVE OR ENGINE START WITH NO OIL. I HAVE VIDEO PROOF FROM THE MECHANIC OF A CORRECT OIL CHANGE. I STILL HAVE A CERTIFIED PREOWNED LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, WHICH COVERS THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO HONOR MY WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP BLAMES THE MECHANIC FOR RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH NO OIL. I HAVE VIDEO PROOF TO THE CONTRARY, AND THE ENGINE NEVER INDICATED LOW OIL, AS THE CAR MONITORS FOR THIS. I CONTACTED GM 5 WEEKS AGO, AND THEY ALSO REFUSE TO HONOR MY WARRANTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR HAS JUST LOST POWER. THE DASH GOES CRAZY WITH LIGHTS AND WARNINGS. CHEVY TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A CODE AND THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TWICE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AND ONCE WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT. NOW IT DOES SHIFT REALLY. IT REVS THE RPMS, JERKS, SPUTTERS, AND PUTS WHILE TRYING TO TURN OR ACCELERATE. ITS SO SCARY BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY VEHICLE WE HAVE TO FIT US AND OUR NEWBORN. I HATE CHEVY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AN ISSUE

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE WILL FIRST STALL AND SLOW DOWN WITH 'ENGINE POWER REDUCED' AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY TRACK GOING ACROSS THE DASH RIGHT BEFORE MY VEHICLE STOPS ON ME. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AT ANY MOMENT AND NOW I AM UNABLE TO START IT BACK UP. I WAS TOLD BY PEP BOYS THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, WITH CODES READING A SHORTAGE IN THE FUSE BOX. I CHECKED THE WEB FOR ANY RECALLS AND SAW THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, YET NO RECALLS. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE STOPS AT ANY MOMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRIVE, EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW I AM WITHOUT RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION IN MY 2014 TRAVERSE. I LOVE MY VEHICLE, BUT GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
DRIVING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE EXIT AND MAKE IT TO THE SIDE. IT WOULD NOT START. IT FINALLY STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GO TWO MILES WHERE IT CUT OFF AGAIN, HOLDING UP MORNING SCHOOL AND WORK TRAFFIC ON THE TWO LANE ROAD. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF TO. I JUST READ WHERE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO JUST SHUT OFF. I PUT MY VIN NUMBER IN THE RECALL DATABASE TO SEE WHAT TO DO AND IT TELLS ME MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY KNOWING THESE TYPES OF ISSUES EXIST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY TRAVERSE IT STALLED GOING 50 MPH. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WAS AT LOW POWER AND WOULD ONLY GO 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE DASH READ LOW ENGINE POWER, STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES. DROVE THE VEHICLE AT 20 MPH IN A 55 MPH ZONE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES WITH THE FLASHERS ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TODD WENZEL IN DAVISON MICHIGAN. UPON RESTARTING TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE DROVE AS NORMAL WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE DEALERSHIP CODED IT.( SEE ATTACHED) WE DID DO THE WORK THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED. THIS WAS THE FOURTH TIME WE HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. THE PAST THREE TIMES JUST THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO STALLING OR SPEED ISSUES AND THE CODE WAS IGNITION SWITCH FUSE. WE HAD THE FUSE REPLACED EACH TIME. ALL WITHIN 8-9 MONTHS. ENGINE ISSUES CAME UP AS POSSIBLE RECALL BUT NOT WITH MY VIN #.
