2012 Chevrolet Traverse Driver assistance Problems

It sways left to right really bad.. but when it rains or even even the car detected that it's going to rain.. as soon as the car senses it is going to rain u can't even drive it.. it like hydro plains even before it starts to officially rain.. very dangerous plus I had to replace the two back tires because they seemed like they were being forced and drug that all u seen was wires coming out of the tread

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle stopped abruptly. The check engine, traction control, stability control, and air conditioner warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly decelerated. The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who determined the failure was due to the throttle body. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The throttle body was previously replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The air conditioning stopped working after working amazing, Traction Control Disabled light keeps coming on, The RPM's would rev up seems like it gets stuck then drops to normal. stabilitrak messages with the ABS warning light lit up, Power steering (or power control) goes limp (at the worse times pulling out in traffic) It’s on issue after the other. Once I get one fixed another goes, then we’re back to the first one that was replaced that is now not working again. I still have a car payment so I’m without my car more than I’m driving it. I have to save up to get it fixed, and I won’t drive it until I know for sure it’s good. I was almost killed way to many times in it so to all the issues that GM knows about.

it is an ongoing daily issue. it has been occurring for over 2 years. The radio display does not work properly. It will show the display and then it won't. This display and speakers are connected via wiring. The speakers all do not work at the same intervals. The park assist function is connected to the speakers. When the radio display works; most of the speakers work and then one can hear the "beep" sounds the park assist makes. And when the speakers and radio display do not work then the park assist does not work. This can put others at risk since the park assist function does not work. A person might hit someone or something due to this issue.

I was driving down the freeway at about 67 MPH when the message "Traction Control Disabled" came on my display & the car immediately went into "limp mode"! By some miracle I was able to muscle the car out of the slow lane, onto the shoulder as I lost my power steering once in limp mode. I waited a few minutes, car started up just fine, so I shrugged it off. Fast forward 1 week later & the same thing happened to me on my way home on a curvy mountain road. The power steering was again non-existent & luckily, there was no one behind me, nor did anyone come around the corner & hit my disabled car. Once again, it started up, no problem; however, this is when the harsh forward thrust started happening, & the transmission seemed to be slipping gears. The RPM's would rev to the 6000 range & immediately fall down to 1500. I took it to the dealer & sadly paid $3,400 for a new tranny on a 5-year-old car. (No warranty, of course). I started having the same issues about 2 years later, only this time the driver was not so lucky as they were mid-curve on the mountain road. Right as the roadway came out of the bend, the car went into limp mode, power steering lost & wheels stuck in a right turn position, car went off the roadway & into a telephone pole, broke that in half due to the angle of the pole in the mountainside & down the steep embankment about 40-50 feet. All airbags deployed & driver was able to walk away (hike away) but the car was a total loss. Driver was traveling 40-45 mph. There was no indication, no warning, just from travel to nothing.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER, OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL ALMOST LIKE IT IS ATTEMPTING TO GRAB GEARS WHILE DOWN SHIFTING AND IT WILL CAUSE THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO SHAKE, IT HAS HAPPENED SO HARD I HAVE HAD TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE FOR WORRY OF MINE AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY. THE VEHICLE UPON ENTERING WILL SLAM INTO GEAR AND WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS THE TRANSMISSION EVEN FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AND THE CAR WILL JERK BACK AND FOURTH UNTIL IT GRABS A HIGHER GEAR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2018 WITH JUST OVER 100,000 MILES AND EVEN NOW THE VEHICLE IS ONLY SITTING AT ROUGHLY 132,000 MILES AND HAS HAS REGULAR SERVICES TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE TRAVERSE HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE INCLUDING OLDER AND NEWER VEHICLES, AND MOST HAVE RESULTED IN TORQUE CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DOWNSHIFT FOR TAKE OFF AND HAS ALSO DONE SO WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THE ISSUE WAS ORIGINALLY NOTICED TOWARDS THE END OF 2019- TO EARLY 2020 AND HAS PROCEEDED TO GET SO BAD WE NO LONGER TRUST THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE FOR FAMILY TRIPS OR EVEN TO ROUTINE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS FOR FEAR OF THE VEHICLE STALLING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

START IT BACK UP AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON UNTIL I DRIVE IT ABOUT 25 YARDS AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE ABS WORKS, I CAN FEEL IT IN THE PEDDLE WHEN APPLIED ABRUPTLY. I CAN ALSO HEAR A SLIGHT GROWLING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CONTINUE ON FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 500 YARDS AND BOTH LIGHTS COME BACK ON. I REPLACED BOTH WHEEL HUB ASSY IN THE FRONT, WHICH BOTH LOOKED GOOD . *TR

RECENTLY I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. FIRST AT 40MPH AND THEN MORE RECENTLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ALSO TODAY THE STABILTRACK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT IT REQUIRED SERVICE. RPM'S AND SPEEDOMETER ALSO WOULD FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT POINT TO THE THROTTLE BODY HAVING OIL BLOW BY THROUGH THE THROTTLE BODY AS THERE IS NO CHECK VALVE TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. I WILL BE CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY TO SEE IF IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO SEEN THAT THE BRAKE POSITION SENSOR COULD BE THE CULPRIT AS WELL. I REPLACED THE IGNITION COILS AFTER SEEING THE ENGINE FLUCTUATIONS, BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE SPARKS PLUGS AS THEY WERE RECENTLY REPLACED UNDER 6K MILES AGO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A LONG STANDING AND WIDE DISPERSED ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. MANY HAVE SEEN THE POWER DROP WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THIS BUG COULD CAUSE THE MASS DAMAGE OF A TRANSMISSION IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IF IT WERE TO DROP TO 2ND GEAR FROM 5TH OR 6TH ON AUTOMATIC DRIVE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF. WHEN THIS MESSAGE COMES ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION PANEL, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES APPEAR: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND SERVICE STABILITYTRAC SYSTEM. AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER YOU'RE DRIVING 5 MILES AN HOUR OR 55+ MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF THE TEMPERATURE IS UNDER 40 DEGREES, IT HAPPENS MORE TIMES THAN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS GREATER THAN 40 DEGREES. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE TEMPERATURE DIPS VERY LOW. I DRIVE A MINIMUM OF 300 MILES A DAY M-F AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OF MY RESOURCES. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL, IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND WAIT FOR 3-5 MINUTES. THIS WILL RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL BUT IT DOES NOT TURN OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES REDUCE SPEEDS ON ITS OWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL DROP TO 2ND GEAR. THE SEVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THE DASH WILL READ TRACTION CONTROL OFF. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL ALSO MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT ITSELF AND RETURN TO NORMAL DRIVING OR IT HAS TO BE TURNED OFF TO RESET. SOME FORUM USERS SUGGEST REPLACING THE THROTTLE DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP. THIS IS CAN CAUSE CONFUSION WITH A DRIVER WHICH MAY RESULT IN A COLLISION.

THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ACROSS THE DASH AND THE POWERS MOTOR DOWN TO HALF POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 AND WAS LUCKY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. HAD THE MOTOR REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAU IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE TIMING. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, THIS TIME I WAS IN TOWN LUCKILY ON A STREET THAT WASNT TOO BUSY. THIS IS NOT ONLY BECOMING COSTLY TO REPAIR BUT EXTREMELY UNSAFE WHEN IT POWERS DOWN TO HALF POWER AND YOU CAN NOT GET ABOVE 20MPH. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE THERE ARE CHILDREN RIDING IN THESE CARS.

MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO THE STORE WITH OUR TWO KIDS JUST TO GRAB SOME GROCERIES. WE LIVE LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM THE GROCERY STORE. ON OUR WAY HOME THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE IDLING AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT ON US. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR DECIDED TO START SPUTTERING, SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THEN SHUT OFF. THANKFULLY ENOUGH WE WERE ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS THE CAR FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT SO WE SPENT THE $300 TO REPLACE THAT. ONCE THAT WAS REPLACED WE THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE CLEAR. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN EXCEPT I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING ABOUT 70-80 MPH. SAME THING, WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, COULDN'T GO ABOVE 40 MPH THIS TIME. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WE STARTED HAVING P0017, P0018, P0019 TROUBLE CODES POP UP. WE TRIED TO REPLACE THE SENSORS AND THEY WERE STILL POPPING UP. WE CLEARED THEM, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER THEY WOULD POP BACK UP AGAIN. THURSDAY THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE. IT WAS RUNNING GREAT, NO SHAKING, WASN'T ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT WE ARE NOW TO THE POINT THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE, AND WE HAVE TWO KIDS AND JOBS TO GET TO. WE ARE TIRED OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THIS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. MY PARENTS OWNED THIS CAR BEFORE WE DID. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS. I FIND IT PRETTY CONVENIENT THAT EVERYTHING STARTS TO GO DOWNHILL AFTER WARRANTY DATES ARE UP OR AFTER YOU HIT A CERTAIN MILEAGE. AND WITH THE STRIKE THAT JUST HAPPENED, GM ISN'T WANTING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FEAR OF LOSING MONEY YET AGAIN. ISSUE A RECALL OR YOU WILL END UP WITH LAWSUITS. EITHER WAY YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. SAVE SOME LIVES.

FOR NO REASON THE SERVICE STABILTRAK LIGHT COMES ON. THE GAGES START GOING ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS, CITY ROADS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP "WHO SAID I CANT MAKE IT RECIPROCATE SO I JUST REPROGRAMMED THE TCM, AND IF THAT DOESNT WORK I WILL RECOMMEND ANEW TCM." IN SHORT THEY HAVE NO IDEA. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS ABLE TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT BACK TO THE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM MODULE VS COMM MODULE. HOWEVER. I THINK THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT. CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON TRAVERSE FORUMS. NHSTA PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE.
