I was driving my traverse on an on ramp to the highway when the check engine light came on. The dash said service stabilitrac, engine power reduced... Just as i was about to merge into traffic. I lost acceleration and had to take the shoulder of the highway to avoid getting run over by a semi that was at highway speed! I can't believe there isn't a recall or something for this extremely dangerous issue!!

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…

Takata recall. Stabilitrack automatically goes off while driving down the road or interstate the smell of raw gas comes through the cabin, vehicle goes into limp mode and starts to stall. This happens often not just once. I have researched complaints online and there are a ton of people with the same complaints.

It is a known proplem that gm makes fuel pumps with fuel sensors that fail randomly and often. I know one person who has replaced it four times. Ours has failed.. The fuel gauge now doesn't work, and sometimes the vehicle will reject fuel. My wife has been stranded with our children in one hundred degree weather because of this. The dealer wants a thousand dollars to replace it, because they insist on replacing the…

Vehicle will display "service stabilitrak" "traction control off". Then vehicle becomes jumpy. Then a burning and fuel exhaust smell enters the cab. This happens about every 4-6 months. I put the vehicle into the shop last month and had the transmission replaced.
