Was driving fine and all of a sudden with no warning car would not go faster than 15 MPH. Check engine light came on then traction control went off. Across the dash it said "service traction control, service stabilitrack and reduced engine power" the car started shifting between 2 different gears making it extremely scary to try driving to a safe spot with 3 young kids.

Loss of power while driving.. Traction control off warning indicator. Very dangerous when this happens at highway speeds and all of a sudden you go from 70 MPH to 30 MPH and almost get rear ended by other vehicles. See this for exactly what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbvaoiixnxy

In motion on highway uphill the stability track, reduce engine power went on. Suddenly lost power from 70mph to barely 40 MPH. Immediately had to pull over on highway emergency lane. Serviced 3 times and problem continues. Very unsafe as the engine looses power. I have had tmc replace, connector replaced, throttle body replace. Big issue everyone is having!! This problem has been going on for over 3 years. Problem gets "fixed" and months later it comes back. Fustrating and has cost lots of $$$$ we don't have to spare. Please view link.

While driving down the highway, my 2009 chevrolet traverse suddenly lost power. I was unable to accelerate and had to pull over onto the shoulder. The traction control light came on and a message on the display read service stabilitrak. This has happened 3 times since the original incident. I have been researching online and this appears to be a pretty common problem among other chevrolet traverse owners. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed with gm.

My wife was driving our kids to school when she stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, she realized the car would not move in forward or reverse. I am grateful this happened while she was stopped, however, this is a major safety concern if car is on the highway considering that the probable cause of this is the 35r wave plate within the transmission. Chevy knows there is a possible problem with this, and has issued an extended warranty on this piece, however, this piece is causing more problems than it should.
