While driving my Traverse it stalled going 50 mph. After restarting the vehicle the engine was at low power and would only go 20 miles per hour. The dash read low engine power, stabilitrak and traction control issues. Drove the vehicle at 20 mph in a 55 mph zone for about 5 miles with the flashers on. Took the vehicle to todd wenzel in davison Michigan. Upon restarting to go to the dealership the vehicle drove as normal with the engine light on. The dealership coded it.( see attached) we did do the work the dealership recommended. This was the fourth time we have had similar issues. The past three times just the engine light came on with no stalling or speed issues and the code was ignition switch fuse. We had the fuse replaced each time. All within 8-9 months. Engine issues came up as possible recall but not with my VIN #.
The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The vehicle stalled while driving the contact was almost left stranded the contact stated that there were several electrical issues with the vehicle while driving at approximately 60-65 mph, without warning the vehicle stalled. The driver was able to restart and drive the vehicle to the residence at a reduced speed. The vehicle was taken to jim ellis Chevrolet, 5900 peachtree blvd, atlanta, ga 30341, (770) 457-8211, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was moisture in the fuse box which caused an electrical short. The driver was informed that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14V614000 (electrical system). The failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
I have been driving and my driver side headlight will randomly shut off and sometimes come back on. My driver side control for the passenger side window has stopped working, the passenger side can only be rolled down by the passenger side control. Front passenger side tire keeps deflating with for no reason there is nothing in the tire to make a hole but the tire keeps losing pressure. For the tire it is anytime if the car is moving or if it is stopped. The headlight will turn off and on if I hit any bumps, hit the headlight cover by hand, and sometimes it will turn off and on without any bumps at all. The window control just does not work at all now and it has started to effect the rear passenger side as well.
Engine power comes up low power and I just brought a new battery which I know that not it. The car will throttle and then I can only go up to 20 miles per an hour and it's hard to steer. I will have to stop the car for twenty minutes and it will start back up with the engine light on. This is very dangerous to take on the highway or even drive especially I have kids in my car. What can I do"?"

Check engine light intermittently comes on and off. Car misfired and stalled while idling (parked). Took to mechanic and check engine code noted to bevp1682. Chevy recall 14187 and Chevy recall 14007 are similar to these symptoms but currently our VIN in not included despite a similar situation. Fuel guage also reads inaccurately.
I'll be accelerating and my car will just jerk into gear as if it's having trouble shifting. The vehicle will also stall out when driving on the highway or in town, lose power and ding and the 'service stabilitrack' alert comes on the dash. I have driven it straight to the dealership on several occasions and the vehicle doesn't throw a code and they can never duplicate the problem. After doing some research, I've learned that I'm not the only one with this problem and it been going on for some time. This is my first Chevy and I will never purchase another. I love everything about this vehicle except for the issues I've had not being resolved. I will go back to Toyota after this. Very disappointing. I've owned the vehicle for 4 years and this error has occurred over 30 times. Unbelievable. The car will also jerk into gear when the vehicle slows for a curve or a vehicle in front of me is slowing and when I accelerate after passing the car jerks into gear.
A life and safety issue! with no warning the vehicle will suddenly shut off. It does not matter if you're moving on the freeway or parked, it is very intermittent and only happened three times in the last 6 to 8 weeks. Two different mechanics said error it's code P1682 is the fault but it will not duplicate the symptoms. I contacted Chevy corporate and they knowledge other vehicles this year have a recall but claim mice VIN number is not affected and will do nothing. Hey fuel vehicle is in safe and do not want my family in it until I am certain it will not suddenly shut off while they are in motion.
In the course of the last year my Chevy Traverse has lost power on the freeway. Our traction control light has come on several times powering down the engine and placing us, me & my family in a very harmful situation. We have taken it to our mechanics they have diagnosed it and replaced several relays. That did not remedy the problem placing me on the freeway once again down in lax with my child in the car powering down & traction light coming on and pulling over and placing us in yet another dangerous situation. I have read the motor vehicle code for California title 49 section 301. This malfunction definitely poses an unreasonable risk to the public. Also, noted on NHTSA, national highway transportation safety administration website notes there is a recall on electrical system was reported.
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!
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled and the engine power reduced and check stabilitrac messages appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuse box needed to be changed. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred for over a year and a half. The vehicle was taken to marine Chevrolet (1408 western blvd, jacksonville, nc 28546) to be diagnosed, but no failure was found. The vehicle was repaired by the independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: [xxx]. the approximate failure mileage was 82,000.

My truck started shaking, after pulling over and turning it off, it cranked and ran normal (several times). The engine light came on and the reading was a starter relay fuse (similar to an ice cube) that was replaced. Then it started shaking, loosing power and not starting (rolling over but not catching). Code read throttle body which was cleaned. The very next morning exiting the interstate it lost power, would not start, again turning over but not catching. Towed to the dealer and diagnosed: Fuel harness wiring. #3 ignition coil, spark plugs and fuel system cleaning. All done except fuel system cleaning. Drove to work, attempted to leave work and the vehicle would not crank, turning over but not cranking. Eventually cranked and 2 days later started jerking. Came to a stop sign, making a left turn it jerked and lost power in the middle of the road. Towed to dealer again replacing the entire fuse box. Fuse box is on back order, pending results.
My car keeps dying for no reason. It has a reading of low engine lower and traction control system needing service. They car just shuts off in the middle of the road. My vehicle went from 70 to 30 mph on the highway.
I was driving on the highway when the car started losing power! as I hit the gas petal it would putt putt as if it wasn't getting any gas. I lost complete power at red light, had to turn the switch all the way down then back up then the car slowly winded up as if it didn't want to start so I had to give it a little gas then it cranked up on the dash board you can see the RPM going up and down as if it wanting to shut off!
C0242, P1682. While driving the stability control turns off reduced engine power and the vehicle turns off leaving you no way to stream the vehicle. This happens at all speeds and in park. This happens everyone the vehicle is driven.
2014 Chevy Traverse ls, 66K miles, purchased used in May 2018. At random, traction control turns off, reduced engine power and sometimes shuts off. Has happened 5 times in the last 3 weeks while driving in traffic, stopped at a red light, and once while car was parked in my driveway! turn car off for about 5 mins, and it runs normally, but check engine light stays on, until the next day then all is normal again. Then the cycle repeats--over and over! after some research, found a recall for this issue (GM #14515), but it did not cover all 2014 Traverses, not to mention this issue affects several GM makes and models and has been a problem since at least 2007!! this problem is well documented by hundreds of consumers who are experiencing the same thing. I find it extremely hard to believe that GM has not been made to make this right via full fledged recall--not just certain vehicles. This is dangerous!! my family and I could have been in a few serious accidents because of this "flaw" that GM is well aware of since they issued a recall to fix it (but not for all affected vehicles). Called GM customer service, and although the person was nice, he said nothing helpful at all (take it to a dealer and pay a $120 diagnostic fee for what? GM knows exactly what's wrong), and advised my car was not a part of the recall. Why not"!?!?!" it most certainly has the issue for which the recall was done!!! the electronic control module needs to be replaced asap before someone gets hurt or killed because my car decided to randomly reduce power and/or shut down. Unless that's what GM is waiting for before they do the right thing. And to think my father spent 36 years working for this company...
While driving the car, it happens to loose power and it is very difficult to wheel and move the car. It stops in the middle of the freeway and service traction control comes up, then service stabilitytrak and then traction control off. It has to be turned off and then wait and restart it again, with a check engine
While driving, car slows to 25mph and dash flashes between the following warnings: Service stabilitrak, traction control off, service traction control, power engine reduced. The check engine light and traction control light also turn on at this time. This has happened 5 times so far. I have been driving on the highway and on side streets when this happens. This is very dangerous and could cause an accident easily.
The car will short out dash and smells like burning and will return to normal. Took to dealer and supposedly my VIN not included in recall. It happens with car in motion.
I purchased this vehicle used and within 3 months my airbag service light came on. I told back to the dealer and I was told my extended warranty would not cover the the airbag service. This is a safety issue and should be covered by the manufacture with the massive airbag recall a few years ago. Now my car dashboard is getting very dim while driving and then brightens and again the dealership is unable to find the problem and this is also a safety problem, with no recall.
