While driving normally on a freeway where speed limits are 65+ the car suddenly lost engine power and its impossible to reach speeds above 15 mph. Several codes appear "service traction control" "reduced engine power" "traction control off". The cause is a faulty throttle body, which is not a serviceable part it just randomly fails. Online forums show reports of this problem 100s and 100s of times dating back to at…

While driving to work early january 18,2016 my check engine light and stability control light came on, not a minute later my steering went out and i hit a road sign. I had turned off the traction control before leaving my house as instructed by my service advisor at the chevy dealership. I believe gm is responsible for the damage to my vehicle. Took my 2011 traverse to the dealership that same day. Lights still on,…

Driving down the interstate at 70 mph, the dic display error reads stabilitrak needs servicing, traction control off, and reduced engine power. It slowed me down from 70 mph to 25 mph in less than 20 seconds. I had to get over 3 lanes of heavy traffic onto the shoulder. This vehicle almost caused a major accident. I know there have been many complaints with gm vehicles regarding this issue. Just how many people have…

I was driving on the 95 and suddenly my car was flashing reduced engine power and the check engine light popped on. Our speed dropped all the way down to 20 from 65. I have seven children who driving in the car with me and were horrified at all the traffic around us while we tried to coast to the side. Thank god no one hit us! The check engine light is still on and we have replaced the trottle body, fuel pump, and a…

On my 2011 chevy traverse on the fuel gauge once the fuel level reaches a half tank it suddenly drops to empty. It is hard to read the fuel level after that because honestly who has time to sit and calculate milage used everyday (i know i don't) i have read on other forums that this was happening on other years of traverses and was told to report it. Even if the car sits for awhile it won't read the correct fuel…

We bought the 2011 chevrolet traverse used with 99,000 miles on it. We noticed that on the car fax, other than just routine maintenance, the car had its fuel tank replaced. We questioned it, but did not think we would have problems, as the car was well taken care of. Every since we purchased the vehicle, when we fill up the car, it does not register on the fuel gauge correctly, if it registers at all. We cannot take…

I immediately looked at my dic and noticed the following readings listed: "service stable track", "engine power reduced", "traction control off", "service traction control". Also, my check engine light came on as well. I was able to pull over to the shoulder of the…

I purchased this 2011 chevy traverse in feb. Of 2015, so i believed it to be a fairly new car in good shape. Not even a month later the gas hand becomes faulty and is not showing the correct amount of gas, and starts fluctuating. Next i'm riding on the freeway and the truck immediately starts slowing down and reads loss of engine power and shuts off right in the middle of the freeway. Now i am freaking out with me…

Four times today as i was driving my chevy traverse the traction control went off, the stability control went off, and a message flashed that i could experience a reduction in power, which happened immediately after the notification. The car barely had enough power to make it safely out of traffic. This happened one other time last year but when we brought it to the dealer they could not replicate the problem. *tr

It has to do with power to the engine being reduced. It has happened to me three times. Each time, i received three error messages ("traction control off", "service traction control", "service stabilitrak"), each time power reduced to my engine, and each time i paid substantial sums to the dealer to have it fixed, but each time it happened again. The first time i paid dealer #1 about $150 (if i recall correctly) to…
