2014 Chevrolet Traverse acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 48, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving the vehicle the engine will cut out. The truck will stutter and the check engine light will go on. A message will appear on the display: service stabilitrack, traction control turned off. A secondary message will display as reducing engine power and then the truck will stall. This has happened on several occasions while in traffic or driving down the highway in normal driving conditions. It has been occurring more frequently. Once the vehicle sits for 20 to 30 minutes it will usually start back up. The check engine light remains on. Once the vehicle is parked overnight the check engine light usually goes off. I have seen that this is a common complaint with this vehicle. I fear for the safety of myself and my family as this can happen at any time. We have almost been rear ended by a tractor trailer doing 65 MPH on the highway. Luckily I was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road where it had to be towed. It was looked at by a service station and they were unable to diagnose any problem.the most recent occurrence was 1/20/21 while driving on city streets.
This is the second time this has happened while driving along at highway speeds unexpectedly get error messages, service traction control, service stabilitrak, traction control is off, engine power is reduced. The first time I was able to drive to a dealership. The second time I lost all power and was lucky that I was in a residential zone
The airbag needs service going on and off but doesn't show a code at dealership. While driving speed reduces to 15mph out of nowhere once restarted no codes show. Car dies while driving randomly. No check engine lights coming on just extremely dangerous to drive.
While driving on the highway at 65 MPH the stability control sensor, ABS sensor, and all wheel drive went out all at once, when that happened the car by itself went to 35 MPH on the highway and would not allow the car to go over 35 MPH.
Driving on the expressway and the following happened; reduced engine power, service stabiltrack, service traction control warning lights came on while driving at approximately 70mph. The vehicle almost came to a dead stop with traffic behind me along and with opposing traffic. I engaged the vehicle in neutral and coasted to the shoulder with my hazards on. I tried to remain calm with my family in the car since it was almost life or death, I searched the web for an answer and I found that if I turn the car off for a few minutes it would go away, I did that and the issue went away for the time being but it has also reoccurred numerous times since then.
My wife was driving with our three children traveling approximately 60 MPH. Her 2014 chevrolet traverse suddenly dropped to approximately 5-10 MPH and she was forced to swerve off the road, nearly being rear-ended and seriously injured or killed. The check engine light came on, as well as, the engine power reduced light. Just as she made it to the shoulder of the road, the car shut off completely. She tried multiple times to start the car, but had no success. After about 30 minutes of being stranded on the shoulder of the road with my three children, she was able to start the car and drive to the nearest area to safely wait for a tow truck. This is the third time this has happened within the last five months! We have taken it to several different mechanics, including the chevrolet dealer, and spent a lot of money trying to get it resolved but have had no success. We will no longer put our children in the car which was the reason we purchased it in the first place. This car is unreliable and unsafe and needs to be issued a recall. My entire family was almost killed or seriously injured because of this default in this vehicle.
As I'm driving the check engine comes on, then the truck starts to lose acceleration, then it starts flashing stabiltrak off, traction control off and then it completely shut off! This is the 10th time this has happened within a year!! Have tried many small fixes and nothing works.
My electronic stability control comes on and off its loose. I push it back in pops out. The TCM female connector/adaptor is faulty and I was told I would have to buy a completely new harness which is ridiculous. The locking mechanism doesn't hold in place so it loses connection to the TCM trans module. And when I contact my local chevy dealer they want me to but a new harness which I $600+++ and the clip/adapter/connector is $22-$29. If im on the freeway my speed can drop to 20mph. On the 215 freeway.
Was at a traffic light near my job when my car suddenly shuts off, never happened before so as I try to restart it wouldn't start at all. I caused a lot of traffic due to this. Living in nyc that's a big no no. As I looked on the dash while keep trying to get it to start different light started to come on the car was going out of wack. Finally a food cart guy seen me and helped me out by jumping my car with his food cart battery talk about embrassing chevrolet needs to deal with this problem, never knew it was a common issue until I google and this problem happen to many people but yet there's no recalls. I am very disappointed and makes me want to give this car back
After making a right turn while driving in traffic in a school zone traction control went off then on check engine light went on service stabilitrak flashed engine power is reduced flashed had to pull over and restart car, engine light remained on ECM was replaced less than 3 yrs ago for the same thing at ed morse sawgrass in sunrise, fl
2014 traverse will suddenly shut down and not move. Flashes service stabilitrac, traction control off, reduced engine power. My vehicle has shut down multiple times including driving on the freeway with my two children in the car. After turning the car off and finally being able to turn it back on again, I am able to get the traction control to say on and to move my car. This last time the steering wheel locked up and my car wouldn't start for almost 10 minutes, with me and my children sitting in the middle of an intersection.
My vehicle will first stall and slow down with 'engine power reduced' and something about the traction control and stability track going across the dash right before my vehicle stops on me. This happens frequently at any moment and now I am unable to start it back up. I was told by pep boys that it is an electrical problem, with codes reading a shortage in the fuse box. I checked the web for any recalls and saw that others were having the same issues, yet no recalls. This is dangerous because my vehicle stops at any moment in the middle of a drive, even on the highway. Now I am without reliable transportation in my 2014 traverse. I love my vehicle, but gm needs to fix this issue.

My car decided recently to start acting weird and the engine power went low and traction control went off and then my car would barely run. It says it could be the throttle body. It had done it twice since saturday and starts running ok afterwards but want to see what's wrong and why it just started doing this. Never had any trouble till then.
Fuse box-! With no warning, a system was triggered to drop engine power dramatically plunging from 65 to below 20. This happened to me 2 times on a major highway surrounded by trucks endangering my family as I could not climb above 20mph and had to scramble to get over and not be a hazard. While the dealer initially couldn't find the problem- chevy mechanics told them to check for a specific tripped fuse- that ruins the whole box. The problem is so prevalent- the part is indefinitely on back order. This is a potentially deadly situation.
Driving on a main rd only going about 40mph and the cars start beeping and stability traction light comes on and engine power source reduced pops up. The car starts jerking and shaking like it was going to shut off out of no where
This past friday, I was traveling in the highway at 60mph then the car starts beeping, with immediate loss of power within seconds, down to 20mph. Error messages start flashing, the car starts shaking. Almost got hit by the person behind me as I wasn't braking, so they, nor myself, had no indication my car was about come down to a crawl. I pulled over, turned off the car, gave it a minute, restarted, and the car was back to normal and I was able to get home. The engine light remained, but it went away before I could get it to the dealer (within 3 miles), dealer is around 8 miles away. This is the 4th incident with this similar issue. Once we were waiting on a turning lane, the car started beeping, shaking, displaying errors on the dashboard, loss of power again to a crawl. We pulled over to the first parking lot in the intersection. Turned of the car, restarted and it was fine again. Then again right after putting gas. Got into the car to leave the gas station, car was beeping, shaking, displaying error messages on the dash. Turned it off, restarted and it was fine. Another time, I was approaching a light to make a right turn, the engine stalled right before I was to turn. I had to put it on part to restart the car, once it started, it ran fine. I'm afraid to drive the car in the highway. I have a 45 minute commute to work everyday. I always have to keep to the right lane in case the car acts up. The error messages that display are "service stability tract, engine power reduced, tracking control turned off" and maybe one other one. I've seen the message boards and it's happening to many owners and for several years! It is dangerous to drive like this. This should have been addressed years ago.
While driving the car, it happens to loose power and it is very difficult to wheel and move the car . It stops in the middle of the freeway and service traction control comes up , then service stabilitytrak and then traction control off . It has to be turned off and then wait and restart it again , with a check engine
While driving, car slows to 25mph and dash flashes between the following warnings: service stabilitrak, traction control off, service traction control, power engine reduced. The check engine light and traction control light also turn on at this time . This has happened 5 times so far. I have been driving on the highway and on side streets when this happens. This is very dangerous and could cause an accident easily.
My wife has a 2014 chevy traverse with 60,000. The traction control and stabilitrack warnings came on the dashboard. This happened 3 times in four weeks. Once the power was reduced and the car would not accelerate. We were on a city street with light traffic and once the car stopped completely. Thank god she was in a parking lot when it happened. I have taken it to the dealer each time we get the messages. The said that they could not find anything wrong and come back if it happens again. The changed a fuse on the last visit. It has happened again and it is in the shop right now.
Vehicle was in motion when suddenly lost power and started flashing these warnings, traction control service, park assist off, stability control service.
Service stabilitrack/ traction control off display on dashboard while car is in motion. Car will jerk while accelerating and cruise control doesn't work. It will reset and work properly after turning car off for 1-3 min and restarting. It happens periodically on several occasions at various times and on trips of various lengths. There seems to be no pattern or precursor for the malfunction.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet traverse. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the check engine and ESC warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle lost acceleration. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. After waiting approximately 30 minutes, the vehicle was restarted and operated normally. The vehicle started to lose acceleration again and was driven to the contact's residence. The next day, the contact drove the vehicle to apple chevrolet in tinley park, illinois where it was diagnosed that the throttle pedal accelerator sensor failed and needed replacement. The contact stated that the same failure occurred in february of 2017 and the vehicle was repaired by the same dealer at that time. The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
While driving the reduce engine speed, traction control, stabili-trac, and the check engine light flashes. The engine speed was reduced to a crawl. This has happened three times now and the speed doesn't seem to make a difference 30mph - 65mph. While we have been able to turn the car off and get it to drive home after 5 mins, it is dangerous because it happens while driving at higher speeds in the middle of traffic.
While driving on the highway the traction control, stabilitrak warning indicator comes on and then immediately reduces power to the vehicle. This is extremely dangerous. You could be driving normal highway speeds of 70 MPH and then all of a sudden the vehicle goes into this traction control, stabilitrak mode and basically shuts the car down. This has happened several times to me and will only clear this mode if the vehicle is turn off and sits for a while and then restarted.
Engine power reduced, service stabiltrak, traction control off messages appear after driving car over 30 min. Engine light comes on and stays on along with stabilik track light. No codes being rpeorted when taken to dealer 2x. Happened 5x in a 20 minute drive, doing 55-60mph and drops to 20 MPH with hardly any steering ability. Battery gauge drops below average, car idols like it is going to stall. Pull over, turn key off, rest starts up again with engine light still on. Very dangerous situation. Cleaned throttle from any build up (hardly any) checked fuses, however did not check wiring to fuse box (may be the issue) problem has been going on since june 2017. Dealer depending to much on diagnostic code reader, which it is not recording. Only one was p1682 and they said it was fine
Was driving on the intestate when car started to put and not wanna move stabilitrake and traction control lights came on check engine light flashed and would not accelerate at all with my child in car is very unsafe and keeps happening and dealership can not find anythibg wrong this is clearly a problem and needs fixed
Car lost throttle control. Engine remained running, but car just lost power with no throttle response. Has happened several times now at different speeds. Dealership cleaned throttle body and reset cpu, but it happened again the next day, turning vehicle off letting it sit for a minute does remedy the problem temporarily, but eventually happens again with no warning which could be very dangerous on the highway. Date below was the last time it happened, I would have to look for the first time which was over a year ago after we had the break booster replaced under warranty. The traction control light comes on when this happens.
I bought my 2014 traverse used in february 2015 with appox 25,000 miles. Had no problems until december 2016 with appox 58,000 miles. The same problem has happened 4 times between 12/28/16 and 2/9/17. Each time it happened I was driving on city streets and it was a few days after it rained. I only bring up the rain because the first time I took to dealer, the service adviser immediately looked to see if I had a sunroof because he said the description of my problem was similar to a traverse sunroof problem where water was getting in the vehicle. When at a stop or reduced speed the vehicle vibrates, loss of traction control message flashes, loss of stability flashes, engine power reduce flashes and the check engine light goes on. The first 3 times this happened, my first instinct was to pull over and turn vehicle off. Each time I did this it started up with no problem but the check engine light remained on. I took it to a dealer each time who could not duplicate the problem. After the 3rd time, I called gm and a case number was opened. I was advised to purchase onstar (not an acceptable solution) and told that if it happened again to drive directly to a gm dealer without shutting the vehicle off. It happened again on 2/9/17 while driving appox 25 MPH in morning traffic. I drove straight to a gm dealer at a speed of 20 MPH in a 50 MPH zone. I felt very unsafe. On 2/14 a diagnosis was made - replace the engine computer (covered under warranty) and the under hood fuse block (not covered under warranty and a $725 repair). As of 3/1/17, I was told by my dealer's service adviser that the under hood fuse block is on a national back order and he is unsure when the part will arrive. I left a voicemail for a gm california rep that has been in contact with me since a case was opened up. I left a message after business hours but it's now 1 pm and he has not returned my call.
