Service Traction Control, Traction Control Off/On/Off, Service All Wheel Drive display on dash. Check Engine Light on at times, When starting vehicle Service All Wheel Drive displays immediately. Codes come up as fuel pressure high, fuel pressure low, no communication with BCM. Driving from a stop the engine has to idle high to switch gears, hard shift when it does. Goes into limp mode sometimes while driving. Been to dealership, can not duplicate problems. But they see display info and no current code, do have stored code of BCM lost communication.

I was parking in front of a restaurant- my foot was on the brake and as I came to a stop the engine revved up and the car surged forwarded about 5 feet - The car pushed a pole and blew out the front door and the door frame- all this time my foot was on the brake. If someone was walking in to the restaurant they surly would have been killed. NO warning lamps or lights-I have not taken it to the dealer yet the body shop still has it. There was no police report the accident was on private property. If the dealer gives me the runaround I'll get rid of this car.

I’ve told penland automotive llc car dealer Joey my vehicle cuts off while I’m driving me & my kids have been in 8 near death experience & I’ve been in 6 by myself I went to trade it in because that’s not safe & I’ve done plenty of work on it I’ve told him the service stabiltack keeps shutting it off & im scared he says it’s nothing he can do about it & I’ve only had this vehicle a year it started before the 1 year anniversary on the truck!! Him not doing nothing is not ok!! I thought it needed a tune up but I really didn’t so I paid out that for nothing! I’ve also went to green light Chevrolet in Laurens they said it was a corrosion fuse box but a fuse box no lights of nothing would be working & I paid out $135 just for them to look at it & tell me that I told them what it was saying & they said the fuse box negative I went on YouTube & asked other mechanics they said it’s a part that needs to be cleaned or it will catch fire they would do it but they can’t because im making payments & it’s stuff that Chevy would have to do! I’m trying to get help some where before this truck get me or me & my kids killed

While driving on the turnpike during rush hour near philadelphia I got a vehicle alarm for reduced power. The vehicle then quickly slowed down from 50mph to 10mph nearly causing an accident. Then a alarm for stability trac control. Pulled codes p089 and p228c. This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed asap.

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.

My vehicle has been doing this since it was purchased. The acceleration and deceleration are jerky sometimes. It feels occasionally like I have been rear-ended. I feel like it tries to accelerate while I am applying the breaks. When I am trying to apply the gas sometimes it has no power and I have to push the pedal down harder which leads it to jerk forward. Hard gear shifting lots of shaking and lurching. It is exactly like what the class action lawsuit against gm describes but my vehicle isn't one involved in that yet, but I believe it should be.

I was traveling on the interstate going 70mph and it felt like my chevy traverse lost power with no other symptoms or sounds prior to this happening. All maintenance was up to date. The car was officially in "limp mode" with only being able to travel at 20-30 MPH on a busy interstate. Reduced power, service stabilitrak, service traction control and check engine lights all came on for the first time. At the service department in the dealership, it was diagnosed as a faulty high pressure fuel pump. High pressure fuel pump, fuel rail, front timing cover and engine oil pan gasket were all the recommended parts for replacement. All of which was related to the faulty fuel pump.

Takata recall, my airbag light comes on and goes off whenever it wants. Sometimes it with come on and stay on for days to months at a time, I took it back to the chevy dealership where I purchased it from. I paid for the diagnostic and for them to fix it and it stood off for a few weeks and came back on and when I called and told them that my airbag light came back on they to me to make an appointment to get a 3rd diagnostic and for me to paid again I refused and I am just dealing with the light coming and going off on its own. I have to hold my key in the ignition in the forward position being cranked for about 4-5sec just for my SUV to turn on and asked the dealership why and they couldn't give me an answer and just shrugged there shoulders with no answers. And when I put my give my SUV a little bit of throttle it hesitates a bit and when I happen to floor it being stuck in the snow it studder and hesitated for about a sec or two before it reacted

I was driving to work like any other day. As I was about ten minutes away from my work. My traverse suddenly started to shake. And then the check engine light came on and engine power reduce, service stabilitrak, traction control off popped up on my dash board. I went from 70 MPH to under 20 MPH with in seconds. Thank god it was not so much traffic because I probably would not be here typing up my complaint about my car. There is even a chevy forum that I found, where multiple people have had the same exact issue. Www.traverseforum.com here is the website where I have found multiple complaints of the chevy traverse and other chevy models. Hope someone can do somethig before someone gets in a horrific traffic accident or even causes death to someone.
