The vehicle has a brake light over the hatch but no bottom brake lights. Replaced bulbs and fuses and brake light switch and still no brake lights. Took it to a shop and they don't know what's wrong. After getting gas I crunk car, put it in drive and car started going in reverse and front air wouldn't work either but back air did. It seems to be an electrical issue. Just got vehicle in June of 2023. The brake light issue needs attention immediately very dangerous. I've been behind an Acadia and an Equinox and noticed they don't have bottom brake lights either. The spare tire is also too low and squeaky when operating vehicle and can fall of while driving. Please fix these issues it's very dangerous and very upsetting.

Stabilitrak light was on, then the alarm said traction control off, the check engine light came on. The Traverse certainly has recall problems that need to be looked into, it is a family car. I have provided a you tube link that explains and shows the problem, https://youtu.be/hBvaOIIxnXY I have the same problem on my car.

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.

I WAS ENTERING THE ON-RAMP GOING EAST AND MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED. I WAS GOING AROUND 25-30 MPH AND I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR. MY COMPUTER FORCED MY BRAKES AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY SUV LITERALLY MADE A FULL STOP WHILE DRIVING AT 25-30 MPH WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND NO BRAKE LIGHTS IGNITED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THEY EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME. I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTAL STREET AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED AGAIN. MY HUSBAND WHOM WAS DRIVING THE CAR SAID THE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. HE TRIED PRESSING THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES WERE FORCED AGAIN AND NOTHING. IMAGINE GOING 25MPH AND STOPPING ABRUPTLY WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS FOR OTHER CARS TO SEE. THIS TIME I DID RESEARCH AND I SAW THAT OTHER 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSES WERE RECALLED FOR THE CHASSIS MODULE (RECALL NUMBER 14V614000). I SAW YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND I CHECKED SEVERAL CONSUMER THE COMPLAINT WEBSITES AND I LITERALLY SAW OVER 10 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE THIS MONTH! I ALSO PUT A READER IN MY VEHICLE AND THE TWO CODES THAT COME UP IS P16AA & P1682. ONE IS FOR THE ELECTRONIC MODULE SYSTEM IN WHICH THE CHASSIS (PERTAINING TO THE RECALL) IS LISTED UNDER). I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ACTIVE FOR 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSES..... BUT NOT MINE! I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED. THESE VEHICLES WILL KILL YOU - LITERALLY AND THEY KNOW IT, AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! NOW I'M PAYING A CAR NOTE AND I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT - FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, OTHERS, AND MYSELF. SHAME ON THEM - AGAIN THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE! THIS IS A URGENT REQUEST FOR HELP!

GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF A BRAKE PEDAL RUBBING NOISE ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT INFORM OWNERS ABOUT A REMEDY. THE SQUEAKY/RUBBING BRAKE PEDAL NOISE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR THIS MODEL AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS ON THE GM LINEUP.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER, THE DASHBOARD AND RADIO WENT BLANK, THE LOCKS IN THE DOORS WENT UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. I HAD TO ROLL THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT AT THE INTERSECTION. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR HAS LOST ELECTRICAL POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I ALSO WENT OUT TO MY STATIONARY PARKED CAR AND TRIED TO START IT ONE MORNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, LIKE IT HAD A DEAD BATTERY, BUT THE IGNITION WOULD NOT RELEASE MY KEY OR LET ME TURN THE KEY BACK TO THE OFF POSITION. SO I STARTED TO TRY TO GET TO THE BATTERY TO JUMP TH E VEHICLE OFF, BUT BY THE TIME I GOT READY TO DO THIS, I OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP (BUT WITHOUT A WORKING RADIO THIS TIME). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WE HAVE NOW HAD OUR CAR IN A CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR 15 DAYS AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SO THEY ARE TRYING TO SEND THE VEHICLE HOME WITH US WITHOUT ANY OTHER SOLUTION OTHER THAN TO KEEP DRIVING IT (PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER) AND TRY TO RECORD IT WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN (SO I CAN PROVE I'M NOT CRAZY OR JUST MAKING THIS STUFF UP).
