I have a 2014 Chevy traverse I got December 2024. Up until 4/16/2025 I noticed a little cutting in and out of the radio and of course took it as the connection being back but yesterday after working I notice my radio isn’t giving out sound , my blinkers not giving sound and neither is my back up camera or seatbelt notifier. I’ve seen a ton of forums online where people are complaint of this same problem so I’m sure since 2014 this issue has been brought up. The question is what is Chevy going to do about it. This fix could be costly. I did get my fuses checked and nothing is bad in that area. What will Chevy recommend me to do?

This has happened three times . First time i was driving my vehicle on the street and randomly turned off . The second time this happened i was driving on the freeway at 66 mph & it randomly turned off and the speed was reduced on seconds. This incident was very dangerous to the point were i almost got hit with my family in the vehicle I needed a tow truck to take me home and it was super risky and dangerous because other vehicles were passing about 2 ft away from us and at a high speed. Third time this happened i almost got hit again due to the random shut off and loss of velocity and this time it was a very small gap and space i had and cars kept honking and cars were passing at a one ft distance . once the lights turn on , on the dash board when it's barely a warning and recently pop up the vehicle automatically randomly turns off . the lights i get on the dashboard are stability track , traction control off , engine power is reduced , service stabilitrak, and check engine light . Has not been inspected .

I have been receiving warning messages on my dashboard regarding Service The Stabilitrak, followed by Traction Control Off message and then vehicle shaking, losing steering power and engine shutting down for over a year. The issue occurs randomly making it difficult to repair. I have had it serviced multiple times by different mechanics and no one has been able to find a solution due to the random nature of the issue. This poses a risk to the vehicle occupants safety because when unexpectedly and suddenly losing engine power, steering and traction control all at the same time, it is very difficult to safely merge to the shoulder of a roadway. I have been left stranded in many locations including out of town. Due to my research this is a common issue with this vehicle that can be caused by multiple issues. I also have a recall on my air bag and warnings have appeared on my dashboard that has no remedy yet. The vehicle is not safe to drive and I depend on this SUV to transport my family of 7. I am also still financing, making it difficult to keep up with payments while trying to diagnose/ repair.

While driving my car, the instrument panel just went blank. My gages all read 0. No speedometer, no battery voltage, no fuel level. The driver information center also shut off. Blinkers would not work, door lock/unlock button did not work after stopping the car. The engine never felt like it lost power and my car would still drive but I could not signal or see how fast I was going.

While driving, check engine light went on, stabilitrack and traction control went off (information from Driver Information Center) and power was reduced. This occurred several times a week and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation. After safely stopping, I was able to resume travel after turning off engine and restarting, although check engine light would remain on for several on/off cycles. Engine stored code P1682. This has also happened while at a stop and when the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle would stall (sometimes in middle of intersection).

I had to replace the two Modules under the rear bumper one on each side. It was warning me service side detection system on my dash. I took it to parsons Chevrolet in Antigo and they told me this is so common on the traverses they swell up and they make the whole car not run. I had to have it towed to the dealership and spend over $1000 to get it repaired. I was wondering about compensation for this. I’m just shocked if it’s happening to all these vehicles how can there not be a recall issued for a large amount of these happening. Please let me know thank you.

2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT. Randomly driving on the freeway @ 60-65mph going uphill it started losing power. It started stuttering/coughing. The TRACTION CONTROL OFF and SERVICE STABILITRAK lights flashed. I finally got it home and shut it off. The next morning it drove fine. Then it happened agai a few days later. I replaced the throttle body after it was diagnosed as the problem. On the way home it did the same thing. It wasn't the throttle body. Now they can't find out what is wrong with it. There are no codes. The service repair guys say it is overheating in the shop but not when they drive it and they don't know why.There are no codes. I told them it was random. If I am driving on the Interstate and have these problems and have to turn off the engine and sit for any amount of time is dangerous. Especially if the heat is over 100 degrees as it has been. I'm not sure if it is related to this problem, but my control panel lights go from dim to light randomly. I can't see anything on them during the day when dim. No warnings etc that may flash

Traction control said off light on. Car shut down power failure. Car shaking as it stopped in traffic almost causing an accident. Barely made off road. I have seen other multiple complaints and no way to fix this problem. It is a death sentence on the highway. With no other transportation for me.

Side blind zone detection system reported service required in the driver information center. Upon further investigation drivers side model PN 22844861 was swollen with corrosion. This eventually led to other issues on the vehicle including the turn signals dash information and air bag warning and remote key fob not working. GM issued service bulletin 16-NA-178 for repair. I initiated a case number with GM 9-7646907751. I also found GM N172097060 special coverage for the same issue for the 2013-2014 GMC Acadia, which uses the same system as the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. I would like to get this resolved by GM and I’m unsure why they do not include the Chevrolet Traverse and the Buick Enclave for this special coverage for Side Blind Zone Alert Module Water Intrusion.

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.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT. THE TRUCK WILL STUTTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON. A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY: SERVICE STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. A SECONDARY MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY AS REDUCING ENGINE POWER AND THEN THE TRUCK WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. ONCE THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES IT WILL USUALLY START BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OVERNIGHT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT USUALLY GOES OFF. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AS THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER DOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A SERVICE STATION AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM.THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS 1/20/21 WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.

THE TRACTION CONTROL GOES OUT RANDOMLY AND I LOSE MY POWER STEERING AND ALL MY FUNCTIONS OF MY CAR RANDOMLY AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO TURN IT OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING TO GET IT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL ONCE I RESTART IT IT'S FINE. BUT IT DOES IT RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN'T USE MY STEERING OR PEDALS OR ANYTHING. IT ALL STOPS WORKING UNTIL I STOP AND TURN IT OFF THEN BACK ON. I THINK IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY THAT'S CAUSING IT BUT NOT SURE IT SAYS ONLINE IT'S A COMMON ISSUE BUT DOESN'T SAY WHY OR WHAT TO DO. I NEED IT TO GET FIX BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT'LL CAUSE ME TO GET IN A WRECK

WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAIT A MINUTE IT WILL START UP AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM. WHEN I'VE TRIED TO GET A PROGRAM READING FROM A REPAIR SHOP, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD RESET ITSELF AND NO READING WAS AVAILABLE. AT OTHER TIMES THE CAR WOULDN'T START AT ALL... AND I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE BATTERY.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNEXPECTEDLY GET ERROR MESSAGES, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. NOW INSTEAD OF REDUCING ENGINE TO 3 CYLINDERS THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AS THERE IS NO POWER TO MANEUVER THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY CHEVROLET REPAIR CENTER THAT THIS IS DUE TO A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 14V614000.0
