I had had this 2016 traverse and it has 64000 miles. It has on several occasions flashed service traction control/service stabilitrac system. It happens outta nowhere. I've taken it in several times only to be told they can't find a code. It happens while driving down the road without warning cutting power to the engine. No reason for it to happen and it's not fixed. Seems to be a common gm problem. Needs to be…

Our 2016 chevy traverse check engine light came on then it started blinking, we brought it too a chevy dealer and they told us the power steering pump was leaking and the fluid ran down the line and dripped in to the sensor box and shorted out all the sensors. Costing us out of pocket $2115.04. This should not have happened. There were no signs of leaks or spots on our driveway or where the car is parked during the…

While driving 75 on a freeway the service stabilitrak, service traction control, and check engine lights all came on. The engine power was reduced and i couldn't go over 40mph all at once. The vehicle was limped off the freeway without any incident with another vehicle, thank god and brought to a mechanic. He said that he has seen hundreds of the same issue over the past few years on the same vehicle and other…

I have taken it to the dealer twice in an effort for them to tell me what's wrong,…

Loss of power while driving. This happened last year, supposedly fixed, but had to fight with gm. Was still under warranty. Now radio is shot said it would cost $1500 to fix. Electrical i would assume. Fighting with gm once again.

Reverse is okay. Other times it has not started, at all. I brought it in and dealership said it was battery. Replaced…

The next week, the salesman gives us a call and says that they need to replace the windshield, after asking for a sales ticket for several days, they give us a sales ticket from the week before that says that they think…

I'm just surprised that the windshield washer pump failed as this is a brand new vehicle acquired in may 2016. It had 10,500 miles when the pump failed. Dealer repaired and replaced at no cost (under warranty). It was determined the wire was shorting out the fuse and pump. Repaired the wire and replaced the washer pump and fuse.
