    When putting gas in my 2017 traverse, when i go to crank it, it's takes a while to start and then when it does start, it idles really high. Sometimes if i'm at a complete stop, the engine just cuts off. Tonight when i was driving to the store with my family, the engine cuts off while driving in the middle of the road. This is really scary because i live in atlanta, ga and often take the highway and i'm afraid the…

    Check engine light intermittently comes on and off. Car misfired and stalled while idling (parked). Took to mechanic and check engine code noted to bevp1682. Chevy recall 14187 and chevy recall 14007 are similar to these symptoms but currently our vin in not included despite a similar situation. Fuel guage also reads inaccurately.

    My vehicle is ailling up and down. Its use excessive gas and when it ail up and down the lights get dem and back to normal. It stalls if i stay in park a period of time and even when im waiting in the drive through for food. The amplifier just completely stop working for some reason. I think it's an electrical reason or the ecm fuel gage need to be reset. I know this has been on recall with other vihicles like mine.

    Driving late at night with family down a state highway/city street with some stoplights and rotary, vehicle suddenly seems to be intermittently losing power or transmission slipping when driving. When giving gas entering rotary, intermittent slipping/power loss (like a skipping power/slipping transmission) worsened - felt greater loss of power and for slightly longer periods. Noted engine light came on. Worsening…

    My truck started shaking, after pulling over and turning it off, it cranked and ran normal (several times). The engine light came on and the reading was a starter relay fuse (similar to an ice cube) that was replaced. Then it started shaking, loosing power and not starting (rolling over but not catching). Code read throttle body which was cleaned. The very next morning exiting the interstate it lost power, would not…

    Fuel/Propulsion System · Suspension

    I have had my car for only two years. I do mainly highway driving and a little residential street driving. My steering rack and front suspension lower control arm mount brushing failed. I had to have them both replace at cost of $2,495. I asked the chevy dealer if this something that they typically see and i was told that my issue appeared to be defect, but since my vehicle does not have an active recall and i am…

    On a normal sunny afternoon after about driving for 20 or so miles, we were approaching a red light in a line of traffic at a busy intersection, the vehicle appeared to start slightly jerking as i was coming to a stop. Once stopped the stop/start function operated. Upon releasing the brake to accelerate thru the intersection the vehicle started jerking and lurching uncontrollably then shut down completely, the…

    Electronic Stability Control · Engine · Fuel/Propulsion System

    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!!
