As i am driving down the road the service stable trak light and abs lights pop on and the brakes sieze up so bad you cant get the car to stop and brake pedal to unlock as well as when you try to turn the steering wheel locks
WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH SUDDENLY HEAR A BEEP AND SEE A WARNING THAT TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, THEN SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING KEPT FLASHING AND CAR IN SKID IMAGE IS ON CONSTANTLY. ALSO AFTER THESE WARNINGS STARTED FLASHING THE SPEED CONTROL COULD NOT BE SET. LUCKILY I DID'T LOSE POWER THIS TIME AS SO MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. AFTER ARRIVING HOME AND RESTARTING THE CAR LATER ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW WHEN RESUMING SPEED AFTER STOPPING THE CAR LUNGES WHILE GETTING BACK UP TO SPEED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD I LOST OR HAD REDUCED POWER LIKE HAS HAPPENED TO SO MANY. GM REALLY NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2017 WITH ONE OWNER HAVING HAD IT. HERE IT IS NOW 2 YEARS LATER AND I HAVE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. SOME OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD BUT IT STILL ISN'T PART OF A RECALL. THE PAST YEAR I HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $1000 TO FIX IT. ITEMS ALREADY REPLACED INCLUDE SEVERAL SENSORS, WHEEL BEARING, POWER STEERIG PUMP AND A BATTERY. WHAT STILL NEEDS REPLACING: RACK AND PINYON, SHOCKS AND STRUTS, AND I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, MY WINDOWS GO DOWN BUT WON'T GO UP BECAUSE THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND MY RADIO CUTS IN AND OUT. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE CAR AND NO ONE IS HELPING. OTHER USERS HAVE REPORTED SOME OF THE SAME THING. IF I GO TO MY MECHANIC HE TELLS ME THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT MY MAKE AND MODEL THERE IS ONLY 4 RECALLS AND IF I GO BY VIN SPECIFICALLY THERE IS NONE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS ! SOMEONE SHOULD HELP. WITH A CAR THAT ISN'T 'THAT OLD' I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS MANY ISSUES. I HAVE 154,039 MILES ON IT. IT ISN'T SAFE. MY WINDOW IS STUCK RIGHT NOW I'M THE DOWN POSITION. I CAN MOVE IT DOWN MORE BUT NOT UP. I HAVE 3 KIDS. MY CAR SEEMS TO NOT WORK MORE THAN IT DOES. NOTHING LIKE SCREWING OVER THE LITTLE GUY...CHEVY NUMBER ONE ON SAFETY YA RIGHT
APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO AFTER HITTING A VERY SMALL POT HOLE I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE WHEN I WOULD TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT ONLY 3 DAYS AFTER THAT IT'S STILL TO RIGHT AND NEVER TO THE LEFT BUT DOES MAKE SOME NOISE STRAIGHT. CALLED OUR DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A WHILE 5-15 AND THEY CHECKED AND NO RECALLS ARE ON OUR CAR BUT I'VE READ NUMEROUS SAFETY ISSUES ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. LAST WEEK WHILE IT WAS RAINING I NOTICED MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIDING OR SKATING ONCE AGAIN CALLED DEALER WAS TOLD STILL CAN'T HELP ANY SOONER. NOW TODAY WHILE WINDY AND RAINING IT WAS AWFUL LITERALLY A FIGHT TO KEEP IT IN THE ROAD IT WAS SWAYING AND MOST DEFINITELY DID NOT FEEL SAFE. MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND HAVE 3 SONS AND HE WORKS FOR THE STATE OF KY FORESTRY DEPT. FIGHTING WILDFIRES AND WORKS A LOT AND IS SOMETIMES OUT OF STATE FOR 21-40 DAYS STRAIGHT SO HE'S NOT HERE MUCH TO CHECK THINGS OUT. OUR BOYS ARE ALL INTO SPORTS AND OTHER AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS YEAR ROUND WITH LOTS OF TRAVELING INVOLVED. MY CONCERN IS FROM ALL THE SUSPENSION ISSUES I'VE READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT SAYS 0 WHICH DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. I WANNA BE SURE THAT MY FAMILY WILL BE SAFE WHEN IN THIS VEHICLE AND AS IF RIGHT NOW IT SURE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT. PLEASE HELP ME FIND MORE INFO BECAUSE HITTING A POT HOLE (VERY SMALL BUMP ZERO DAMAGE) SHOULDN'T CAUSE ALL THESE PROBLEMS REQUIRING MY FAMILY TO HAVE TO SPEND A TON OF MONEY TO FIX. THIS ISN'T GOOD BUSINESS AND I WOULD HOPE CHEVROLET WOULD CARE IF THE SAFETY OF A WHOLE FAMILY WOULD BE IN JEPORADY OVER SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE THAT BY THE WAY ONLY HAS 79000 MILES ON IT. HOPE SOMEONE GETS IN CONTACT WITH ME THANKS HAVE A GREAT DAY.
I KEEP GETTING CODES FOR EMISSION AND TIMINGS CHAIN. MY BACK UP SAFETY SENSOR AND WHEEL SENSOR DOESN'T WORK.

VEHICLE HAD ERROR MESSAGES, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAX, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND EXPERIENCED DECREASED SPEED. VEHICLE VIBRATING WHILE IDLING. WAS TOLD BY DEALER NOT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OTHERS WITH SAME ERROR MESSAGES STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, COULD NOT GET THE CAR RESTARTED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE SUDDEN SLOW ACCELERATION AND DECREASED SPEED ARE SAFETY ISSUES WHICH NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY GMC BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. DEALERSHIP SAID CODES WERE P2176, P0121 AND P0221 ALL RELATED TO TPS SENSOR. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY, TOTAL COST $607.42. NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO A BLOG, IN APPROXIMATELY 2009 GMC STOPPED COVERING THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER 2009 CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. ADDITIONALLY, BLOGS INDICATE THAT EVEN WHEN THE PROBLEM GETS FIXED BY THE DEALER (AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE), THE SAME ISSUE TENDS TO ARISE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL BY GMC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH THE OWNER'S DULY COMPENSATED FOR ANY COSTS THEY MAY HAVE INCURRED. *TR

I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT 2-3 MINUTES. RESTARTED THE CAR. DROVE A FEW MORE MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND HAPPENED AGAIN. NO POWER AT ALL IN THE ENGINE. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE DEALER. WAS TOLD IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY CONTROL SYSTEM THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. WHILE RESEARCHING ONLINE APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM AT GM DATING BACK TO THEIR 2004 MODELS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE. *TR
I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE FREEWAY WHEN MY STABILITRACK TURNED OFF BY ITSELF AND MY ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. I WAS VERY NEARLY REAR-ENDED AS MY CAR COULDN'T SAFELY ACCELERATE (ACCELERATE AT ALL REALLY) AS I WAS COMING ONTO THE FREEWAY. A SEARCH ON PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THIS APPEARS VERY PREVALENT WITHIN THE CHEVY LINE OF VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY THE TRAVERSE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND WAS VERY UNSAFE WHERE IT OCCURRED. IT ALMOST CAUSED. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND CHEVY HASN'T ISSUED ANY KIND OF RECALL TO TRY AND FIX IT. *JS

2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL FEATURES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN DECREASING ACCELERATION, APPROACHING A CURVE OR STOP SIGN, THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SKID WITH THE FRONT WHEELS ACTUALLY LOCKING UP. ALSO, WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, WHEN HE APPROACHED A CURVE OR STOP SIGN, THE ABS OVER-REACTED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A SKID. BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON SNOW COVERED ROADS. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, HE WENT THOUGH THE STOP SIN AND ENDED UP IN A DITCH WHEN GOING AROUND TWO MODERATE CURVES AT SLOW SPEED. THE CONSUMER READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND DISCOVERED THE TRACTION CONTROL COULD BE TURNED OFF BY FLIPPING A SWITCH. AFTER DOING SO, THE VEHICLE PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY WITH SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND CONTINUED TO DO SO AS LONG AS THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM WAS AMPLIFIED BY THE FACT, THE TRACTION CONTROL WAS AUTOMATICALLY ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED.
JUNE 2014. WAS DRIVING ON CITY EXPRESSWAY WHEN SUDDENLY "SERVICE STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF" CAME ON. OUR SUV SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER. TOOK TRUCK TO CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPT. SERVICE PERFORMED. TECH SAID HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. DID NOTE THAT I HAD OTHER RECALLS PENDING ON VEHICLE. JULY 2014. WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 40 AT 11 P.M. AND WAS 80 MILES FROM HOME. I WAS DRIVING ALONE. SUDDENLY "SERVICE STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF" CAME ON. SUV STARTED LOSING POWER. WAS UNABLE TO GET ABOVE 65. AT SOME POINTS RPM WAS HIGH THEN LOSS OF POWER. SUV FELT AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO CUT OFF. HAVE READ IN A FORUM ([XXX]) THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF TRAVERSES. WE PURCHASED THIS SUV TWO YEARS AGO AND REALLY LIKE IT AS IT'S PERFECT FOR ME AS I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY DISABLED IRAQI WAR VETERAN HUSBAND TO AND FROM HIS VA MEDICALS AND WE TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE A LOT. IS THIS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADD TO ITS RECALL? WE LOVE OUR VEHICLE BUT NOW HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN ABOUT THIS VEHICLE'S SAFETY. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, SUDDENELY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THEN ENGINE POWERED DOWN, I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE MARCH 5, 2014. AT SHOP NOW WILL COST ME OVER $500.00 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. *TR
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY HEADING TO THE AIRPORT, WE WERE GOING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH.THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK BEGAN TO POWER DOWN. THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILI TRACK LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND WE WERE LOSING SPEED AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. WITH OTHER VEHICLES AROUND US WERE GOING 60MPH OR MORE WE HAD TO TRY AND GET OFF HIGHWAY TO SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE OUR TRUCK LOST POWER ALL TOGETHER. WE THEN SHUT OFF THE TRUCK LET IT SIT FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURNED TRUCK BACK ON. WE WERE THEN ABLE TO PULL BACK ON TO HIGHWAY AT FULL SPEED. IT HAPPENED A TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO REACH OUR DESTINATION. THREE DAYS LATER WE WERE BACK IN OUR TRUCK LEAVING THE AIRPORT HEADING HOME AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF BEING ON THE ROAD OUR TRUCK BEGAN TO POWER DOWN AGAIN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STABILI TRACK LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. WE HAD TO AGAIN PULL OVER BUT THIS TIME AT LEAST 5 TIMES BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY ORDEAL. WE CONTACTED ATLANTIC CHEVY ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WE BROUGHT TRUCK IN A WEEK LATER DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A LOANER VEHICLE AVAILABLE FOR US. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND WE WERE NOT COVERED SINCE WE WERE PAST OUR 3YR/36,000 MILES WARRANTY. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, WE HAVE FOUND THAT WE ARE ONE OF MANY OTHER GM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME SITUATION WITH THEIR VEHICLE POWERING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS IS NOT JUST A RANDOM PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE BUT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM WITH THE PART. CUSTOMERS ARE BEING EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED WHEN IN FACT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE PART OR IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY. I HOPE BY US FILING THIS COMPLAINT THAT IT WILL BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER AND THAT IT WILL BE HANDLED IN THE WAY THAT SATISFIES ALL GENERAL MOTOR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
THIS VEHICLE AT RANDOM TIMES TELLS YOU THAT YOU NEED TO SERVICE YOU STAILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCES POWER WHICH IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE FACT IT LOSES POWER AND WHEN YOU WANT TO PASS YOUR NOT ABLE TO. EVEN IF YOUR CLIMBING A SMALL LITTLE HILL IT WILL BARELY CLIMB WHICH PUTS OTHERS AT RISK OF CRASHING ESPECIALLY IN ICY OR DANGEROUS CONDITIONS, OR MAYBE EVEN WORSE. THIS IS A GOOD FAMILY HAULER, BUT NOT WHEN IT REDUCES POWER AND PUTS OTHERS AT RISK. *TR
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING THAT "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANOTHER ALERT CAME ON STATING THAT "ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED". I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE FULLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET IT BUT THE SAME ALERTS CAME BACK ON MINUTES LATER. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CHEVY/GM SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECALLING THIS PART. *TR
TWO THINGS #1-TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 95. RIGHT REAR TIRE BLOW. THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE RIP ALL AROUND. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE TIRE IN TWO PIECES.IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SEEING THE PICTURE EMAIL ME AND I WILL SEND IT TO YOU. #2-ALSO EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2010 THE BRAKES SQUEAKS. ITS BEEN LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIME BY TWO DEALERS. TO THIS DAY THE BRAKES STILL SQUEAK. VERY ANNOYING. THE WARRANTY IS OUT NOW BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE BRAKE ISSUE. *TR
