I have a 2016 Chevy Traverse. The -??traction control off-?? light has been on for about 2 months now, along with the service stabilitrak light, and ABS light. When driving it seems is if though my ABS is kicking in when it should not be. Since those lights have been on, the left passenger brakes seem to also be affected. Anytime I first begin driving until I hit about 30mph, or anytime I press the brakes, it feels like my brakes are locking up-??or a better way to describe it is when driving in the snow and your ABS kicks in and you can feel it in your brake pedal like the brakes are locked up, but there is no snow. Recently there were two times when I was coming to a stop light and nearly hit the stopped car in front of me because my brakes locked up and the pedal wouldn-??t go down. Now, almost a week ago when trying to leave, my car will not start at all. The battery is new and the lights all work. The power of the car turns on but it doesn-??t turn over to start or if it does it struggles to stay started and then dies right away. I have seen tons and tons of other videos or reviews of other traverse owners complaining of the same problem ranging from 2014-2017 traverse. Many people take theirs to a dealership and even they can-??t figure out the problem or they say it-??s a glitch in the system. There are far too many other chevy traverse vehicles having the same issue. The only difference with theirs is the lights come on every so often. Mine don-??t turn off, they are always on. This is extremely dangerous, much more dangerous than the air bag recall. These vehicles should be recalled immediately before something very serious happens. I have been without a vehicle now for a week while I-??ve had to miss work and my kids have had to miss school. I have had the problem checked by a professional mechanic but couldn-??t figure it out either. No one else has looked at it as it is dead so I can-??t take it anywhere. It is available upon request for inspection.
2016 chevy traverse fuel system problem while at an idle truck shuts off, also the truck drags while trying to accelerate. I have made a complaint before but haven't heard anything yet.
I purchased this Traverse brand new in 2016. I now have 51xxx miles. I have had to refill the transmission 3 times since I've had it. But absolutey no leaks. Prior to that I was experiencing weird transmission slippage at ocwerd times. Another quirk is that sometimes when I put gas in my var, the hand does not move at all until I drive maybe 20 miles but it has me wondering. Keep in mind all this weird behavior with no check engine light. The vehicle rattles at 1000 RPM. Like it might be a timing chain. Doesnt always go in to gear. Shows faulty gas gauge. I have yet to hear clicking noises at speeds above 20mph (dont know what that could be)
We purchased our 2016 Chevy Traverse new and now have approx. 38K miles on it. After the 1st year, we began experiencing power loss issues and ended up having fuel injectors replaced in mid-2017. Since then, we've been experiencing the same issue that has already been reported to the NHTSA by other owners. Periodically, our "service stabilitrak" will appear on the dash and the "traction control off" will appear, along with the "check engine light". when this happens, the vehicle runs extremely rough and violently shakes back and forth. I've had the vehicle into autonation Chevy in both gilbert, AZ and mesa, AZ for a total of 5 times since mid-2017 for this issue. I just picked it up a few days ago after being in the shop for over 2 weeks. Unfortunately, no repairs were made as no codes were found/stored in the computer and the mechanic was unable to replicate the issue during the 2 week period. This is clearly a safety issue and I'm a bit surprised no resolution has been made given the complaints regarding this issue just in 2018. This has occurred while driving, while idling and while waiting to turn in a busy intersection and almost led to an accident. I will be taking the vehicle back to autonation once again today. GM/Chevy please review and offer guidance as to what's going on before fatalities occur. Thank you.

Stalling hesitation lack of performance in hot weather caused by vapor build in fuel line. The dealer cleared code told to use 93 octane gas. This is not a fix making the vehicle unsafe to drive. This happen on the interstate during rush hour traffic.
Despite showing over a quarter of a tank of gas, I ran out of gas on my way to work. I got the vehicle into the dealership the next day 8/18/17 (stanley Chevrolet, mccordsville, in). They replaced the fuel pump at that time and said the problem would be solved. This evening on my way home from work the same thing happened. I am now sitting on the side of I-70 in indianapolis hoping I am not injured while waiting for aaa. Please look into this problem as I have already called the dealership back and they are saying they are unaware of any problems that would cause this.
Vehicle fail/do not get the mpg as indicated on the sticker when I purchased the vehicle in November 2015. Sticker indicated mpg, 17 city, 24 highway. GM used the same tactic as VW to sell the 2016 Traverse. They are now saying oops. We printed out the wrong info on the window sticker. I purchased the vehicle based on the mpg printed on the window sticker. Now I am told you will not get that mpg. I am now be cheated out of 44 miles per tank of gas. This will add a costly expense to me over a 20 year period. GM should provide with a Traverse that get the mpg I contracted for when I purchased the vehicle, 2016 Traverse.
