THE CAR IS A 2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE LS WITH 98,804 MILES ON IT. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE VEHICLE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND A WARNING ON THE DASH CAME UP OF SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF, REDUCED ENGINE POWER . THE VEHICLE REDUCED SPEED FROM 60 MPH TO 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES OR TRANSMISSION ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT AND RESTARTED IT. VEHICLE STARTED FINE NO MISFIRING OR LURCHING WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE. AFTER RESETTING THE FAULTS THE VEHICLE DROVE LIKE NORMAL. APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE. POSSIBLY THE FUSE BLOCK. I HAVE BEEN A MECHANIC FOR 25 YEARS THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER SEEING THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO REDUCED POWER, TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL, TURN OFF STABILITY CONTROL. IT HAS ALSO TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR VEHICLES FROM 2009-2015, WITH NO KNOWN FOR SURE FIXES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN IF YOUR VEHICLE STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. I DONT HAVE MONEY TO KEEP FIXING THINGS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ON THE FREEWAY IN CA IN TRAFFIC AND EXPERIENCED THIS FRIGHTENED REDUCED SPEED ERROR, 75 MPH TO LESS THAN 25 MPH AND HAD TO PULL OVER. I HAVE LOOKED AND SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO RECALL. AFTER LEAVING THE CAR OFF FOR A DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW OFF FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND CHILDREN LIVES TO TRAVEL AND NOT KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN I TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN 2018. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH AND REPLACED IT BUT STATED THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE I EXPLAINED TO THEM. I LEASED A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERN AND TRIED TO GET THEM TO FIX THE ISSUE BY CONTACTING GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER SEEING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE LAW VEHICLES. THEY DID AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE YEARS 2010-2012 VEHICLES. MINE IS A 2013 SO IT IS NOT UNDER THE WARRANTY. WHEN I TURNED IN MY YEAR LEASE VEHICLE I BEGAN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOW THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ON MY VEHICLE FOR IT BEING 5 YEARS BUT IT WAS NOT EXPIRED WHEN I FIRST TOOK IT TO BE FIXED FOR THE ISSUE.
