    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…

    While driving my 2016 traverse on the highway, the engine lost power and i received the stabilitrak warning, along with the abs & check engine warning lights. I was on the interstate travelling across country when the car began to stutter, shake and with immediate loss of power, i struggled to steer of the main lanes and narrowly escaping a life-threatening crash.

    Enterprise rented me the chevy traverse. I experienced the problem when i was backing out of a parking area off a dirt road. I'd been waiting for the car behind me to back out so that i could back out. The car was stationary, weather sunny and warm, middle of the day. I turned on the ignition, had my foot on the brake, put it into reverse and next thing i knew i was hurtling backwards. It felt like being sucked…
