Times 2- again i get the stabilitrak warning. Cruise will not work, powers down trying to excelerate. The dealership can not fix this sense there is no code coming up for it even though the warning light is on and flashing on my dash. Trying to accelerate it will power down at lights, on interstate etc.

Traction control went haywire while going about 25 miles an hour, it started shaking uncontrollably, "traction control" light came on and went off almost immediately. Rpms revved up to 5k. It has done it 4 time within a 24 hour period. Mechanic hooked it up to the computer and it detected nothing. Only thing that showed up was that it lost connection to the transmission. When the engine revved it, it seemed like it…

Bought a 2011 traverse a month ago with 93705 miles on it. On the drive home the lights of the dash came on and said traction control off, service stabilitrak, reduced engine power. It wouldn't go past 20 mph (mind you i'm on a busy street with my four kids). Was able to get it home and called the dealership i got it from and am waiting for a call back.

I have had the 2001 chevy traverse for 1 year now. Bought it used from a chevy dealership. The traction control/ stabilitrak warning has come on numerous times over the year, but has come on every single day this past week while driving. There is no loss of power like others have reported, but it does knock out the cruise control when the warning message comes on. This sounds like a manufacturer problem and should…

The service traction control and stabilitrack light keeps coming on. Our vehicle is a family vehicle and when we hit a stop and try to accelerate again the vehicle lunges. Loss of speed down to 10-15 mph immediatly. We have to drive this vehicle on the highway everyday and this is seriously dangerous.

Without warning, i get an alert on my information panel that stabilitrak is off and traction control needs servicing. At the same time, the vehicle downshifts hard and rapidly decelerates. Several months ago, the check engine light started coming on at random times resulting in an emission error code. The catalytic converter was replaced. A month later, same error code. This current problem happens frequently at…
