I was driving along the highway and the car beeped and went into low engine power and died. I was able to steer to the side of the road, but had no power. This has happened 10 times. The first few times I was able to turn the car off and then back on again and it was fine. 3 times ago, the car died and wouldn't not turn over. A wrecker was called. We have had this vehicle in the shop 8 times in 2019 for this issue.
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"?"
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.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle experienced a loss of power. In addition, the check engine and stabilitrak warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed, but the contact was not informed of the results. Golden motors (15101 la-3235, cut off, la 70345, (985) 807-1375) was contacted and a second diagnostic was scheduled. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to assist with the repair cost if the diagnostic test detected a failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
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.

When I had the oil changed this week I was told there was a slight leak beginning in the front cover. The car has only 53,600 miles. Why has this not been recalled?
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!
Takata recall. Engine lights come in regularly since the purchase of the vehicle. Car jerks when gas is pressed going uphill also has been occurring occasionally from purchase of vehicle. Power steering just went out.
My car decided recently to start acting weird and the engine power went low and traction control went off and then my car would barely run. It says it could be the throttle body. It had done it twice since Saturday and starts running ok afterwards but want to see what's wrong and why it just started doing this. Never had any trouble till then.
Fuse box-! with no warning, a system was triggered to drop engine power dramatically plunging from 65 to below 20. This happened to me 2 times on a major highway surrounded by trucks endangering my family as I could not climb above 20mph and had to scramble to get over and not be a hazard. While the dealer initially couldn't find the problem- Chevy mechanics told them to check for a specific tripped fuse- that ruins the whole box. The problem is so prevalent- the part is indefinitely on back order. This is a potentially deadly situation.

Driving on a main rd only going about 40mph and the cars start beeping and stability traction light comes on and engine power source reduced pops up. The car starts jerking and shaking like it was going to shut off out of no where
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. Engine code P1682. Been happening since April 2018. Two time engine turn off as I was driving on highway
On February 14 2019, I went outside to warm up my car. 10 minutes later while the car was still parked the whole engine was engulfed in flames. Fire department was called to put out the fire. No recent work had been done to the vehicle. The only work ever done in the 4 years I owned it were, new tires, new battery (in the back seat) and oil changes.
2014 Chevy Traverse engine, traction control, stabilitrak: Vehicle dash says "reduced engine power" and shuts the engine off while I'm still driving and in traffic. This occurred while I was crossing a busy side street, on 2 state roads, and other places. After turning off the engine for 30 seconds or so, I can restart it the vehicle and continue until it occurs again. I've taken it to the dealership twice. The PCM was replaced the first time after 3 days of keeping the vehicle. The second time, it was kept over a week and the PCM was replaced again. The same issue occured within 24 hours and has repeated several times.
The car has started to do a shimmy and then the car completely turns off and won't start again. There is always gas in the car, and the oil is changed regularly. The car has been taken to a local repair shop to address the issue. I was told that there is a small electrical connection box under the gas tank that was filled with dirt and getting poor contact. The small box was cleaned out and electric conductive gel was used. The car didn't have a problem for about 9 days and then it started to do the same thing as before. It has turned off mostly when the vehicle is moving. The latest time this happened was 11/6/2018
2014 Chevrolet Traverse. Consumer writes in regard to multiple malfunction to vehicle that causes random deceleration and acceleration. The consumer stated the engine light, stability and the traction light came on. The car reduced speed to 20 mph then to 0mph.
Ac won't come on or just shuts off while driving, sometimes the service airbag warning comes on, sometimes it sets a check engine light code P0119, if the recirculate button is not on then it lights up and ac compressor shuts off, pull over out of traffic and shut the car off and let everything come to a complete stop and restart the car, sometimes every thing clears up but sometimes it takes several restarts to get car to function properly. Happens driving on road or stationary. Checked battery but seems to be ok, checked fuse box and the entire fuse box is loose, the hold down screws in the fuse box appear to be stripped and will not tighten, shimmed the box to the frame to prevent it from shaking around in the engine compartment. Car was purchased from lakeside Chevrolet in rockwall, tx as a certified used car, it has been back to the dealer for the service airbag issue but they did not resolve the problem. Has been happening every since we purchased the vehicle. Keep looking for recalls but nothing yet. There are considerable complaints about this problem or similar problems. The problem with carrying this vehicle back to dealer is that they don't seem to know how to fix it. General Motors should recall this vehicle and repair it because it is obviously factory defective.
Vehicle was in motion when suddenly lost power and started flashing these warnings, traction control service, park assist off, stability control service.
