Car stalls while driving very abruptly. Reduce engine power and service stablitrak comes on. Then traction control warning lights flash. Very very dangerous. Happen while driving car begins to shake violently. Engine light remains on. Happening too often had the same issue with my 2007 chevy equinox. No way this should not be recalled it's definitely a known issue.
2014 Chevrolet Traverse driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 121, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Just bought this used 2014 chevy traverse with 89k on it and not even to the first oil change and the traction control off/service stabilitrak came on. Code said ita the brake pedal position sensor. Replaced that and calibrated it and did not fix problem. Shop said I need to replace whole brake pedal. This repair wouldn't fix the slight hesitation the car has when excelerating. I seen many forums that this could be many things which will be real expenses to keep trying before one work. This is a horrible way to treat people who buy the car that's states error messages that cannot even narrow it down.
Vehicle has lost all power on 2 separate occasions within 2 years. The first event was on a highway at 75 MPH in 2018 and the second time at a busy intersection where the speed is 45mph in 2020. Once power is lost , brakes and steering do not work. Each time the vehicle was towed to a repair shop for repairs which included replacing the fuse box and providing better bolts to hold it securely in place.
Very hard to steer same as complaint in picture
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.
Was a recall on some power steering pumps and faulty electrical systems in the 2014 chevy traverse. Car making loud noise when turn wheel. Problem just diagnosed by mechanic. See my VIN not included in recall. Very dangerous. Found because turning the wheel has become difficult and it sounds like engine strained.
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
My 2014 chevy traverse has been having this issue for months now. I will be driving and my service stabilitrak, traction control off, check engine light will light up, and engine power reduced will pop up. I can not go over 20 MPH. At times the engine will become very stally, jerky, my steering wheel and brakes will be very hard to use. These are very random and non patterned I will have to safely pull over rather it be on a back road or a highway wherever it happens turn the engine off for 5-20 minutes and it will eventually clear everything but the check engine light; which will clear within that day or the next until the next time it happens. It has also cause my key to lock up in the ignition. This is very unsafe and scary. This is my family car and will eventually cause an accident and hurt myself, my kids, or someone else. If you google the issue there are tons of forums, websites, blogs that have the same issue with this car. I have spent numerous hours investigating the issue, lots of money replacing parts as recommended or by the check engine light and it continues to do this. Gm is going to have a lawsuit on their hands when someone gets seriously hurt over this issue because they are not doing anything about it.

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.
The stabilitrak service warning flashes. When this happens, it reduces the power of the engine causing the vehicle to shut down. This only happens when the car is in motion and now it won't start at all.
I was driving this vehicle and instantly all power was cut off. When I came to a stop I put the vehicle in park and tried to start only to have failed to start quite a few times. After a minute of sitting, the car started again. The car stalled a few more times after on the way home. The dash said stabilitrak needs to be serviced and the engine power was reduced. This could really cause an accident! This problem seem to happen when I was slowing down or coming to a stop.
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.
1st time vehicle on highway. Lost engine power .. .engine light and stability light came on. Cycled through error codes reduced engine power, service stability track, traction control off. Code p16820. 2nd time it happened at a stop light. Car will not go more than 10 miles an hour. Engine runs choppy like it's going to stall. After car was shut off overnight, it reset and ran normal except engine light stays on. Dealer can't find any issue. Can't recreate. See on youtube that this has happened to many others. There should be a recall!!! Dangerous especially for a family car. People buy traverse's when they have children!!!! Please recall!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet traverse. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the traction control warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was restarted after an hour. The contact mentioned that the failure previously occurred and the battery was replaced; however, the failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to family auto mart (1900 aurora rd, melbourne, fl 32935, (321) 242-0328 )where the contact was informed that the vehicle was bought as is and that the electronic control computer failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
Driving the kids to school and the vehicle just cut off on the interstate and the traction control turned off. I was able to catch the exit and make it to the side. It would not start. It finally started and I was able to go two miles where it cut off again, holding up morning school and work traffic on the two lane road. There was no shoulder to pull off to. I just read where there was an issue with a short in the electrical system that causes the car to just shut off. I put my VIN number in the recall database to see what to do and it tells me my car is not on the recall list. This is dangerous and I fear for my family knowing these types of issues exist.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet traverse. While driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle suddenly jerked and stalled. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and pulled over to the side of the road. When the vehicle was restarted, the contact heard a revving sound coming from the vehicle and it began to shake. The contact stated that the engine power reduced and traction control warning indicators illuminated. After pulling over to the side of the road, the contact turned the vehicle back off and waited a few minutes before they were able to turn the vehicle back on with no warning indicators illuminated. The failure occurred a total of four times. During the fourth failure, the service stabilitrak indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, but they could not diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The manufacturer provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.
While driving at 45mph the vehicle completely shut off, the gauge cluster went crazy stating "stabilytrack" "reduced engine power" check engine came on and notices temp.guage also went up from 210 to 215 slighty when I put in park and restarted vehicle restarted with no problem I drove to mechanic shop with no issue 4 miles away and when I arrived to shop I turned vehicle off and when mechanic returned to check engine error none was found or recorded this is the secon time it happens?
I was driving along the highway and the car beeped and went into low engine power and died. I was able to steer to the side of the road, but had no power. This has happened 10 times. The first few times I was able to turn the car off and then back on again and it was fine. 3 times ago, the car died and wouldn't not turn over. A wrecker was called. We have had this vehicle in the shop 8 times in 2019 for this issue.
Engine power comes up low power and I just brought a new battery which I know that not it. The car will throttle and then I can only go up to 20 miles per an hour and it's hard to steer. I will have to stop the car for twenty minutes and it will start back up with the engine light on. This is very dangerous to take on the highway or even drive especially I have kids in my car. What can I do???
Mi auto se apaga tanto en carretera como en la ciudad esto empez hace un mes, despus de apagarse se ilumina la seal de antibloqueo y la luz del motor, baja la potencia y tengo que aparcar y esperar para volverlo a prender se textea y sale un codigo generico de chevrolet p1682 , esto esta pasando seguidamente poniendo en riesgo la vida de mi familia y la ma propia.
I'll be accelerating and my car will just jerk into gear as if it's having trouble shifting. The vehicle will also stall out when driving on the highway or in town, lose power and ding and the 'service stabilitrack' alert comes on the dash. I have driven it straight to the dealership on several occasions and the vehicle doesn't throw a code and they can never duplicate the problem. After doing some research, I've learned that I'm not the only one with this problem and it been going on for some time. This is my first chevy and I will never purchase another. I love everything about this vehicle except for the issues I've had not being resolved. I will go back to toyota after this. Very disappointing. I've owned the vehicle for 4 years and this error has occurred over 30 times. Unbelievable. The car will also jerk into gear when the vehicle slows for a curve or a vehicle in front of me is slowing and when I accelerate after passing the car jerks into gear.
