Filed Dec 2, 2021 · Electrical, Steering · CA

While driving 65 to 70 mph on the freeway, vehicle suddenly shudders and dash state "engine reduce speed" and "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control". It has happen about twice a month 6 months back. Took it to the dealership, no code so they couldn't find the issue even though I should them multiple videos. Today the vehicle shut off while driving 65 mph this morning in the fast lane. Luckily my wife put the Emergency lights on and we wasn't hit from behind but cats did brake fast and almost hit us. So far vehicle has left me on the side on the road 3 times today. Errors codes that are coming up is P1682 and c042-00. It also states replace ignition relay switch which I had done 3 times already. Once this happens I have to wait 10 minutes, then restart, then shut off, then reatart, then shut off then restart until to vehicle starts up how it should start up with no hesitation or shaking. Then I can make it home My fear is my wife will be driving and car shuts off while driving on the freeway with the kids. I know this issues was recalled with the traverse 2009 and 2010 and some other vehicle gm made.

I have been having problems with my 2013 chevy traverse the traction control light/stabilitrax comes on, which makes my check engine light come on, which then causes my engine to power down, I will then have to wait 2-3 minutes and it will either crank up or it won't (has to be towed), it also causes it to stall out when taking off or coming to a stop. Stalled out on me while pulling out into oncoming traffic thankfully I wasn't all the way out in the road or I would have been t-boned. I have taken the vehicle to a two different chevy dealers which it had to be towed to both within a month the first one told me it was just the battery $400 and 4 days later I was stranded on the side of the road with my 3 kids again. I had to towed to another chevy dealer which they replaced the ECM, repaired wiring that had burnt, replaced wiring harness and fpcm that had also burnt and performed a multipoint inspection. I was charged $1540.06 on august 5, 2020 and hear I am october 26, 2020 and I am once again stranded on the side of the road with my 3 kids dealing with the same issues as before

While driving the vehicle will go into reduced power, turn off traction control, turn off stability control. It has also turned off while driving. I looked online and see this has been an issue for vehicles from 2009-2015, with no known for sure fixes. This is obviously a dangerous situation to be in if your vehicle stalls on the highway at high speeds. I dont have money to keep fixing things that may or may not be the problem.

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.
