2014 Chevrolet Traverse: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Sep 8, 2024 · Transmission, Wheels · MN

For at least 5 years, we have been consistently encountering this same problem. After driving awhile, typically at higher speeds, we will get a error message saying to "service stabilitrack and traction control" and "traction control has been turned off". Often this is accompanied by significant shaking of the vehicle and steering column, random gear shifting, impeding your ability to control acceleration and sometimes causing steering issues. We have taken to our mechanic numerous times, and he is unable to diagnose the issue. A code reader returns: ABS-TCS Brake Switch Circuit malfunction. This issue is well-documented in vehicle forums online (Google: Chevrolet Traverse stabilitrack or traction control.

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 and car is very slow to accelerate. Stabillink warning and ABS lightly are on. Take it to the dealer and they tell me it's the accelerator pedal sensor, so I have it replaced, along with a cleaning of my throttle body. Car is continuing to slowly accelorate, making it dangerous to drive and I am a single mom with 4 kids ages 11 and under, it's so frustrating. This seems to be an ongoing issue with these cars and gm is doing nothing to recall them, someone is going to get killed driving on the expressway is the most dangerous, as the vehicle takes so much time to accelerate up to a normal speed.

Last week when my car was parked, it died. When I got back in, I realized it had died, and tried to start it. When I started it, all of these errors started popping up: "engine power reduced", "traction control is off", "service stabilitrak". The power was definitely reduced, and I could barely creep along. The car even shook like it was about to die. Then when I was trying to stop the ABS breaks came on and off several times. I parked and turned it off then turned it back on after a minute. It was back to normal except the service engine light was on. So I took it to the dealership and had them check it out. They couldn't find anything to fix and said to call again if anything happened again (they did charge the battery). I went and picked it up and drove it 10 miles. I parked and shut it off. When I came back out to start it about 30 minutes later, this time there was an error about the guidelines on the camera system not working and the same stabilitrak error. So I shut it off and started it back up. It seemed to be functional after restarting it. It was okay for a few days until the major errors happened again this morning. I was trying to pull into a parking spot and it did the same thing with the same errors that I first had. It actually went to a total stop and would not move forward at all. I was thankful that I was in a parking lot and not on the highway my children in the car with me. It was so sudden, that if we had been on the highway, I am sure I would have been in an accident. I turned it off and back on and the same thing happened again with the same errors. So I turned it off again and let it sit for a minute and turned it back on. The errors were gone but the service light was on. It seemed functional again. There are tons of similar situations reported online. The dealership is supposed to check it again.

Was driving on interstate at 75 MPH, about 80 miles from my destination, with cruise control on. Switched the bright lights on and the cruise control turned off, power locks started locking and unlocking repeatedly, headlights started flashing on and off. The whole dashboard instrument lights turned on (check engine, change oil, ABS, battery light, stabilitrak etc) when I attempted to press gas accelerator it was locked in place and would not move, vehicle stalled in interstate traffic with my children and I in car. Was able to merge onto shoulder, placed vehicle in park turned ignition to off position then restarted vehicle. Was able drive rest off way without turning on bright headlights or cruise control. When I got off interstate onto highway with no other vehicles I placed cruise control on and flipped on bright headlights and the vehicle did the same thing (gas pedal, headlights, instrument panel and locks) again pulled over restarted car and continued driving with no issue ( no cruise or brights used) I then took car to dealership next morning. The dealership was unable to replicate said occurrence after 6 days in shop.vehicle was sent home with us with no solution.we have had vehicle not quite 2 months.do not feel safe having my family in it. Complaint made to manufacturer (chevrolet gm) they stated they had received no similar complaints and are unable to provide a fix. Was told if vehicle repeats occurrence to try to video it and return to shop. Unhappy with this situation all the way around.
