All of a sudden the vehicle displays service stabilitrak, traction control off, engine power reduced. Then the vehicle has very little power to accelerate or navigate hills.

After a couple additional trips to the mechanic, we did have a couple issues seemingly related and he…

My wife was driving our 2012 chevy traverse, received errors "engine power is reduced" and "traction control off". She said the vehicle couldn't go above 20 mph and she was on a 50mph road. She was very frantic with our kids in the car. Drove it to our mechanic who told us it's a fuel pressure sensor issue going to cost $400. Started searching and found many forums with the same problem and appears no one knows…

Driving when car beeps 4 times and control lights come on saying traction control off, stability control off, engine power low. Slows the car down to 15-20 mph. Very dangerous as there is very little time to respond. Luckily, i wasn't going very fast to begin with, but on the highway it could be disastrous. It slows the engine and cannot go any faster. *tr

He said it was possibly a rock or something causing the noise and it stopped for a few days. This morning i was pulling into a parking spot at work and the steering froze up completely and the brakes did not want to work either. I almost…
