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.
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.
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 over a period of two to three weeks and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation and luckily it never happened at highway speeds in one of the left lanes of traffic. 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. Brought to dealer service and they repaired per TSB #19-NA-276 related to issues in fuse box. Repair was $406.48. This is a known issue with manufacturer. Also, many owners have mentioned this safety issue on Internet forums and YouTube videos.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle began to stall and then seized. The contact stated that the low fuel level warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving to his destination. The contact stated he had experienced the failure on three different occasions. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V223000 (Electrical System, Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
Airbags light turns off & on. Then my vehicle will reset itself while driving. All gauges & lights turn off in vehicle & I have to pull over, turn the car on & off for it to work. Vehicle airbag will also make a popping sound when airbag light turns on & off. Vehicle turns off while driving & fuel light will say full then drop to empty. Power steering will go out & turn back on randomly.

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.
The fuse block/box has been identified, as the problem by the manufacturer and reported to the dealer service centers. There have been numerous complaints filed on the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse fuse block. Service techs were instructed (years ago) to look at the fuse block when the following problems were reported by the owner. If they knew to instruct their techs to look at the fuse block/box, then they knew it was defective - it should have been recalled/replaced at that time. Since it wasn't, there have been ongoing safety risk to many vehicle owners and passengers. It has also required owners to pay hundreds of dollars to repair/replace the known defective part; I just paid $965. While driving at any speed, the car will begin shaking/jerking; dashboard messages begin: Engine Power is Reduced, Traction Control Off, Service Stabilitrak, along with the Service Engine light. In the city, before you can move over out of traffic, the engine stalls/stops. You are in the middle of the street with no engine power, no steering, and no brakes. This is very dangerous and can immediately result in an accident...to you/the driver, or cause an accident further behind, when the other drivers can't see that traffic has stopped. Even with flashers on, it may take several attempts to get the vehicle started again. The same situation occurred last year traveling down a highway at a speed of 70 mph, while we (myself and spouse) were able to pull off the road, had the car not started again - we would have had a towing bill back to the dealership service center. We were not told about the fuse block/box (known) problem at that time. I am truly shocked, very disappointed and angry to learn (on my own) that the safety of my granddaughter (from birth) has been a risk every time we traveled in my vehicle. She and I travel alone, sometimes up to 3/4 hrs. away to see family, and could have been in an accident or stranded on the side of a highway, or street, many times.
The electrical system malfunctioned. My car is available upon request for inspection. The lives of myself and my children was at risk. I have not taken my car to a dealer to be inspected, I shouldn-€™t have to pay the dealer over $100 just to inspect my vehicle for a manufacturer-€™s defect, especially because there is/was a recall for this exact issue. Recall #14515. I have video of my car doing exactly what is stated in the recall on a different day than the first incident. I was driving on the highway with my 3 children and all of a sudden the lights on my dashboard start lighting up the warning bell starts ringing and the dash displays the messages, -€œ engine power is reduced, service traction control, service stabilitrack, traction control off.-€ When this happened my car suddenly slowed down on its own and then ultimately just turned off. I was on the highway so traveling about 70mph. There was a LOT of traffic, we were very lucky that I had a few seconds to pull onto the shoulder when the messages started appearing on the dash before the car turned off I was not at a complete stop when the car shut off and couldn-€™t steer at all. We could have been hit by a car traveling at a high rate of speed. This same issue has occurred several times since the first incident, I am scared to even put my children into this vehicle. It-€™s so unfortunate that the manufacturing company is aware of this issue and has only chosen a select number of vehicles to include in the recall.
There is a problem with the stabilitrak system that causes the vehicle to shut off while driving. This turns off the traction control and reduces power to 3 cylinders, thus causing the vehicle to go into limp mode and can cause an accident. This problem is intermittent and the dealers can't seem to find the underlying issue. It will happen whole parked, stopped at an intersection or driving at highway speeds. I have had this happen while driving in heavy traffic on the freeway and in the number one lane. My vehicle lost power and I had to try and negotiate three traffic lanes to stop along side the freeway. I had to put the transmission in park and shut the engine off for 15 seconds in order to clear the code and safely proceed back into traffic. The check engine light remains on for a period of time, but will clear itself. This is unsafe and needs to be address by GM as it is happening to multiple model types in GM vehicle lineup.
Stabilitrak control light comes on and doesnt turn off for hours or days, especially during long rides. Vehicle jerks and takes longer to get up to speed.
One day as I was driving on the freeway, the vehicle's engine light/airbag light came on and the vehicle then went into "engine power reduced mode" I was lucky to be close to a turn-off. I was able to get the vehicle off the road safely. I turned off the vehicle and check it. Then turned the vehicle back on and all lights were off. It was shocking, the car was driving normally. I did not think twice and took it to the dealership. They told us it was just the battery and airbag sensor. Thankful they changed it, no cost to us. But later this happened again, this time it was the "engine light and traction control off". We have no idea what it is. Because we have taken the vehicle to a mechanic to get checked, but they can't seem to find anything wrong with it. This happens several times. Can I have some answers or help to stop this from happening. At this point this vehicle to very dangerous to drive.
Replaced alternator 1 yr ago when my battery suddenly died. Fast forward to now it seems that the new alternator is failing in some capacity because of an improper design. The volt meter would drop below 14 while driving and have seen other reports from other Traverse owners with the same issue. Please issue a recall.
THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. Dealership is unsure what exactly is the issue with the vehicle. While driving the vehicle out of nowhere the engine stalls and the 'engine power is reduced', 'service traction control', 'service stability track' and 'service air bag' messages illuminate across the dash. While these messages display there is no acceleration to the vehicle. This makes it very dangerous to drive.
On more than 5 occasions my car will say -€œtraction control off-€ and -€œreduced engine power-€ then just shut down. This is very dangerous and can cause an accident. I took it in serval times and mechanics report that there is not issue that they can see. The check engine light with come on and off randomly.
The VIN of my car should be part of the group of air bag recall. The air bag symbol is activating in the vehicle dash board, and it is of a great concern that it got overseen. I thought it was part of the air bag recall, but when I took it to the dealership, I was told that it didn't have a recall. I want to report this before a safety risk happens.
Traction control light comes on the the car will start decreasing speed or just shut off. Then it will not start up for a few minutes. Very unsafe on highway
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 Traverse randomly loses power and stalls while driving. The check engine light illuminates and a message stating vehicle reducing power appears on the display. The engine then cuts out. This has happened several time recently while in traffic as well as on the highway. It is very dangerous especially when on the highway doing 65 mph. It has been happening frequently with the latest occurrence 01/20/2021. Once the truck sits for approximately 20 to 30 minutes the vehicle will start and run. Sometimes the issue will happen again while driving, sometimes it will not. Typically once the vehicle sits overnight the engine light will go off by itself. I fear for the safety of my family while driving the vehicle as we have almost been involved in a couple accidents due to this issue.
This is the second time this has happened while driving along at highway speeds unexpectedly get error messages, service traction control, service stabilitrak, traction control is off, engine power is reduced. The first time I was able to drive to a dealership. The second time I lost all power and was lucky that I was in a residential zone
While in motion vehicle goes up to the third RPM before taking off. Vehicle also jerks when picking up speed. The lighting system comes on and off during a ride at random regardless of the time of day. Vehicle makes loud noise when accelerating.
