Transmission failed and was replaced with a brand new one. Three weeks later the transmission started slipping again causing it to go back into the shop. It has now been in the shop for over three months with no idea as to what is causing the problem. Dealership confirmed it’s the same problem that occurred last time.

While driving on a highway (65mph) the vehicle shuddered (as if running over rumble strips), the alert “Service Stabilitrak” appeared simultaneously with “Low engine pressure” message and simultaneously the Car entered limp mode. No CEL. Started car, car lunged a few feet and entered limp mode with no CEL. Would recommend alert that one is in reduced engine state.

2016 CHEVY TRAVERSE ENGINE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILTRAK PROBLEM. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, DISPLAY STATED REDUCE SPEED TO 25 MPH AND THE ABOVE WARNING FLASHED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION POWER. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN ABOUT A TWO WEEK PERIOD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON 12/18/17, I STOPPED THE FIRST TIME AT A PARTS STORE TO GET THE CODE READINGS BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT TO READ THE CODES. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON 12/27/17, I STOPPED AT ANOTHER PARTS STORE AND THEY READ THE CODES WHICH CAME UP AS P2138. ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF THE NEXT MORNING AND I TOOK IT INTO ADVANTAGE CHEVY IN BOLINGBROOK, IL. THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND TOLD ME MOST LIKELY I NEED TO REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SENSOR, BUT UNTIL THEY CHECK IT OUT IT COULD BE SOMETHING ELSE TOO. I WISH I WOULD HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE DISPLAY ALSO.
