This car is a death trap. It quit going down the road! NO warning, no service engine, no lights, no NOTHING!!! I drive my children in this car daily and it is not AT ALL SAFE. I for one did not expect to buy a 38,000.00 car and have a blown motor 4 years later. I treated that car well serviced it as it needed parked in a garage and overall took very great care of this car. I used to actually like it a lot until this ongoing issue with it.
I have replaced the throttle body as I too had the traction control issue service stablitrack, where the car lost all power just all of a sudden with out a warning. I live in Vermont and our last winter was horrendous, to say the least. I lost control and power in my car several times being stranded in a snow storm with two kids.
I will never get back into that car. It scares and is not worth risking my life for. GET IT TOGETHER GM AND HONOR this poor product and start recalling your junk 2011 Traverse's yet you recall the 2010 and the same idiots making them did not address the problem in the new 2011's.
I have contacted the congressional office and I will be going as far as I need to make sure GM honors and stands by the poor product that they are making an selling to the American public who buy GM products thinking it is worth it when it is not. This is nothing anyone wants to buy to high priced to be fixing a motor 4 years in. It is a scam and a joke and an insult. GM is too busy making junk and is a disgrace to the USA. I mean come on GM you have cars from 1995 still on the road but MY 2011 TRAVERSE NEEDS AN ENGINE. What a shame!!!!!
