2014 Chevrolet Traverse ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

VERY HARD TO STEER SAME AS COMPLAINT IN PICTURE

IT HAS BEEN PROBABLY 10 TIMES OR SO THAT MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE STABILITY TRACK ENGINE REDUCE POWER COME ON. I AM USUALLY DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN OUT OF THE BLUE THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE TO TRY AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SO THAT I DO NOT GET RAN OVER AS I HAVE NO POWER TO KEEP GOING. I CAN USUALLY TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN IT WILL START BACK UP BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND 2014 TRAVERSE WERE UNDER RECALL # 14V614000. CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE WAS NOT UNDER THIS RECALL. THE RECALL SHOULD PERTAIN TO ALL 2024 TRAVERSES AS THE RECALL STATES IT IS 2014 MODELS THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I AM STILL PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT WE CANNOT EVEN DRIVE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, BEFORE SOME IS HURT.

IT'S HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. DEFINITELY OVER 10. I'M DRIVING MY TRAVERSE, ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN, AND THEN MY CAR GOES CRAZY. BELLS BEGIN TO DING AND DASH LIGHTS COME ON. THE INFO CENTER TELLS ME TO SERVICE STABILTRACK AND THEN I GET A REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING AND I CANNOT GO OVER 25 MPH. I PULL OFF THE ROAD OR OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF MY CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TURN MY CAR BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. IT'S DONE THIS WITH EVERY DRIVER IN MY FAMILY. I'M ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN LOYAL GMAC CUSTOMERS SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN AND I WAS PROUD TO KEEP UP THE TRADITION BUT THIS CAR HAS MADE ME LOOK AT OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS. MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS CAR. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE AND WE ARE CONSIDERING RENTING A CAR FOR A 800 MILE TRIP I NEED TO TAKE NEXT WEEK FOR A FUNERAL. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT GM IS AND HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE AWHILE AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE THROWN GOOD MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN TO TRY TO FIX IT WITH NO SUCCESS. IT'S TIME FOR GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR THEY ARE ENDANGER OF LOSING PLENTY OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS. SHAME ON YOU GM FOR PUTTING MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS OVER THE SAFETY AND SATISFACTION OF THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS.

OUT OF THE BLUE, WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE, IT STARTED ACTING SLUGGISH, "TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, "SERVICE STABILITRACK ERROR CAME UP ON DASH, CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T WORK. I WAS ON A FREEWAY AND SCARED TO DEATH. IT WOULDN'T SPEED UP AND KEPT JERKING TO NOT GO FASTER. ONSTAR REGISTERED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH TRACTION CONTROL. IF MANY ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS SUV, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD MAKE IT HOME.

ON A BUSY INTERSTATE, VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SERVICE STABILI TRAK INDICATOR CAME ON. THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPOENED. WAS ABLE TO CREEP TO SHOULDER AT 20 MPH. SHUT ENGINE OFF AND POWER AND ACCELERATION CAME BACK UP WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IS THIS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH AN ACTIVE RECALL? VEHICLE HAS 89,500 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY

SIX TIMES NOW , I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE STABILITRACK ALERT GOES OFF AND THEN IT CUTS DOWN MY ENGINE POWER AND I COULDN'T GO OVER 20-25 MPH. TWO OF THESE TIMES I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY THREE CHILDREN . ALL OTHER INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN CITY STREETS. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES , RESTARTED IT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND STAYS ON. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT AND SAW THAT IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. OBVIOUSLY THAT DIDN'T HELP BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO WE TOOK IT TO GET DIAGNOSED WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND IT SAID THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED REPLACING. MY HUSBAND REPLACED THAT ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO . TWO DAYS AGO , I STARTED MY CAR AND IT SPUTTERED AND DIED . I TURNED IT BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON SO WE TOOK IT BACK IN TO GET DIAGNOSED . THREW THE SAME CODE SAYING THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED REPLACING. ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN THE PAST 10 MONTHS. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO KEEP THROWING ON RANDOM PARTS THAT AREN'T FIXING THE ISSUE NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO . THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE SERIOUSLY GETS HURT. I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE THE 20 MINUTES TO MY JOB WITHOUT WORRYING WHETHER OR NOT I'M GOING TO GET THERE SAFELY AND WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER . I WAS VERY EXCITED TO PURCHASE A TRAVERSE AS I HAD WANTED ONE FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT NOW I'M VERY FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY ABOUT IT. I'M EVEN MORE FRUSTRATED WITH GM AND THEIR LACK OF RESPONSE TO THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM.

INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REDUCED POWER, STABILITRAC FAILURE, AND TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS OR WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION IN CITY AND ON HIGHWAY CAUSING ENGINE TO STALL OUT LOSING POWER-STEERING AND POWER. ONCE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND KEY IS REMOVED FROM IGNITION, ENGINE RESTARTS NORMALLY WITH NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION BUT PROBLEM IS RECURRING -- POTENTIAL DANGER FOR ACCIDENT AND INJURY HIGH.

DRIVING AND CAR IS VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE. STABILLINK WARNING AND ABS LIGHTLY ARE ON. TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT'S THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR, SO I HAVE IT REPLACED, ALONG WITH A CLEANING OF MY THROTTLE BODY. CAR IS CONTINUING TO SLOWLY ACCELORATE, MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH 4 KIDS AGES 11 AND UNDER, IT'S SO FRUSTRATING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND GM IS DOING NOTHING TO RECALL THEM, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS, AS THE VEHICLE TAKES SO MUCH TIME TO ACCELERATE UP TO A NORMAL SPEED.

SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING AND CAR SPEED DECREASES AND THE CAR JERKS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET FIXED SEVERAL TIMES AND SHORTLY AFTER EACH TIME THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AUG 2018

WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY 6/1/2019, ON THE OFF RAMP LUCKILY, MY 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE'S LIGHTS START COMING ON: SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, POWER ENGINE REDUCED AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND STARTS JERKING. I GET STOPPED AT THE END OF THE RAMP AND CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE TO START MOVING AGAIN. TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. FINALLY, ALL THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND MY VEHICLE STARTED MOVING NORMALLY AGAIN BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. TAKING INTO MY MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS COMMON ON THE 2014 AND MAY NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY AFTER ONLY HAVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 8 1/2 MONTHS! SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF RECALL OUT THERE.

ON DECEMBER 21ST COMING HOME FROM WORK MERGING ON TO THE EXPRESSWAY SIBILITY TRACTION CONTROL COMES ACROSS MY DASHBOARD THEN REDUCED POWER COMES ON VEHICLE START LOSING POWER ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TRYING TO MERGE ON TO THE EXPRESSWAY I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED OR EXPERIENCE A VEHICLE DO THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS A SERIOUS RECALL ON BEFORE FOR SOME ONE DIES IF IT AIN'T ALREADY HAPPEN. DECEMBER 22ND 2018 STOP AT A FOUR WAY AND THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL COMES ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE SHUTS ALL THE WAY OFF I RESTARTED IT AND IT READ REDUCED POWER ITS STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AND I COULD NOT PICK UP ANY POWER JUST LIKE LAST TIME PLUS I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 1ST 2018 ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN SIX TIMES ALREADY BUT IT STARTED HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS ON DECEMBER 2ND BUT ON DECEMBER 21ST MY LIFE WAS ON THE LINE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 70MPH AND MY TRAVERSE STARTED SHAKING LIKE THERE WAS TRASH IN MY FUEL PUMP. THEN I GET A MESSAGE THAT MY TRACTION CONTROL ISN'T WORKING. THEN MY TRAVERSE LOSES SPEED (AND WE ALMOST GET HIT) AND THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO 20MPH. I MADE IT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE DASH READ STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. IT IS NOW AT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AS IT IS UNDER A CARMAX EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME HE COULD NOT EVEN GET IT TO CRANK AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS OUT OF GAS (NO. 100 MILES TO E) THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 64000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. I AM THANKFUL MY CHILDREN AND I WERE NOT KILLED WHEN WE LOST POWER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND UNACCEPTABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT PRETTY MUCH ANY SPEED AT RANDOM, THE CAR STARTS SHAKING AND THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHTS START FLASHING. SOMETIMES IT GOES AWAY RIGHT AWAY, OTHER TIMES THE CAR NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF AND WILL GO AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALER STATES THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM.

TODAY 1/08/2018 AROUND 08:30 I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY 287 WHEN THE CAR STARTED CHECKING, REDUCING POWER UP TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN I LOOK UP, THE STABILITYTRAK/ SERVICE TRACCION CONTROL OFF WAS SHOWING IN THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED TO TURN ON THE CAR, BUT IT WON'T UNTIL UP TO 1 HOUR BY CHANCE WHEN IT STARTED AGAIN WITH ENGINE REDUCED POWER. THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN THERE EVEN THOUGH I WENT TO THE MECHANIC TWICE, WHERE THEY CLEANED THE THROTLE BODY WHICH APPARENTLY FIXED THE ISSUE BEFORE.

I WAS GOING THROUGH A DRIVE-THRU, AND LEFT THE PARKING LOT. WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN I HEARD A CHIME, AND A ' TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE STABILITRAK' LIGHTS CAME ACROSS THE SCREEN ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. SO I DROVE BACK TOWARD MY JOB, AND ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE RPMS STARTED TO GO UP!, SO I STARTED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM 3 MONTHS AGO, AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS FOR TODAY, SO I LEFT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TOMORROW. AS I WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND DECLINE IN SPEED, THIS LASTED ABOUT 2 MINUETS AND THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL, I PARKED MY CAR AT WORK, AND WENT BACK IN FOR 4 HOURS. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF, AND IT DROVE FINE HOME. HOPING THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX IT, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER! I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK TODAY! I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE! I HAVE ALSO READ THAT IT HAS YET TO BE FIXED, I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY FOR THEM, AND NOW IT COULD HURT THEM! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THIS IS THE LONGEST IT HAS LASTED. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3-5 OTHER TIMES, JUST A SHORT 5-10 SECONDS AND THEN BACK TO NORMAL!

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVING IN THICK TRAFFIC. ENGINE JUST DIED, STABILITRAK WARNING ON DASH. UNABLE TO START CAR.

CAR STARTS BRAKING AND WARNING ON DASH TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABIL TRACK KEEP FLASHING AND CAR KEEPS BRAKING AND RELEASING BACK TO SPEED ,KEEPS GOING TILL YOU TURN IT OFF AND IT RESETS ITSELF . IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED AND ANY WEATHER CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY THAT REALY IS SCARY BECUSE YOU CAN GET REAR ENDED.BY THE CAR BEHIND YOU.HOPE YOU CAN HELP.ITHAS HAPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS

ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, THEN ON CITY STREET BOTH TIMES ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASH ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE HESITATING, NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE/SHAKING

VEHICLE HAS 67,000 MILES AND IS 3 YEARS OLD. WHILE DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL AREA THE CAR LOST ITS TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCED SPEED TO 20MPH. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS INCLUDING BEING REAR ENDED.

CAR GOES INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE. ALMOST WAS HIT TWICE ON INTERSTATE BECAUSE HAD NO PLACE TO PULL OFF HUGHWAY. I WAS IN MOTION

OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAS 15000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DRIVING OT NORMALLY IN A 35 ZONE ON A CITY STREET AND MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND NOT ACCELERATE. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS AND BELLS AND WHISTLES STARTED GOING OFF. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT INTO MY CHEVY DEALER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER HAVING IT LESS THAN 24 HOURS THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME SAYING THEY SAW THE WARNING ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY DID NOTHING CAUSE THE CAR ISN'T DOING IT ANYMORE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I SEE IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE SINCE 2011 MODELS. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP DOES NOTHING TO FIX THIS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY AND HAVE US GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 1.5 YEARS AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR KILLED WHILE DRIVING ONE.

TRAVELING AT 65+ MPH THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER, LITTLE SHAKING, ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS AND AFTER 1/2 MILE + THE VEHICLE GOES BACK TO NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES WITH NO REPAIR OF THE ISSUE. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM.
