What 2014 Chevrolet Traverse owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I am having the exact same issue as recall reference 14V614000, Manufacturer Campaign 14515. The car only gives me one warning, "Service stability track system" before the car completely stalls out. The car stalled out and completely shut off while I was on the freeway. I coasted to the shoulder of the freeway with a stalled car a no power steering. It has done that countless times. My code reader returned codes: P0606-PCM Processor Fault, P0685: ECM/PCM Power Relay Sense Circuit, P0689: EMC/PCM Power Relay Control Circuit, P0615: Starter Relay Control Circuit
Odometer Fraud. The contact was in the process of purchasing a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. Before the vehicle was purchased, the mileage was 118,000. At the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 227,937.
Had the whole ECM replaced as well as all wire harnesses inspected. Fuse box inspection and retighned. All fuses and relays checked. Ignition switch replacement as well. The code for P1682 went away months but has now returned. Also have replaced battery and few other minor items. The car will go into limp mode randomly on freeway or roads. Almost caused an accident since the power steering stops working as well.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The message "Engine Power Reduced" was displayed. After waiting 20 minutes, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed by the contact's friend, and it was determined that the clock spring had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 14V614000 (Electrical System), but the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the federal safety agency Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 195,000.
Vehicle constantly has p1682 code and will turn off while driving. Also may just go into low power mode, turn off traction control and have stabile track service needed lights. Vehicle may shake violently as well. If code is reset the car can be driven again until the cycle reappears. Things already changed include ignition switch, ECM, o2 sensors, purge valve, mass air flow sensor.
While driving my traction control turns off and reduces power to the vehicle often stalling it making it hard to safely move to the side of the road.. has been happening since I got the vehicle from a dealership
My car has been having a problem with traction control/service stabilitrak and losing power to the engine since I purchased it. The problem was only occasionally, now it does it EVERYTIME I drive. First it pops up with traction control off message, once that happens it starts to lose power to the engine making the car(heavy car) shudder so bad I cannot drive. The transmission lags on acceleration and it also pops up with "service stabilitrak", "Power loss to engine "And the car will not move until I can pull over and turn it off. Very scary. I have 4 kids and its losing power while Im driving on the highway. Ive replaced sensors, Cleaned the throttle body and also changed spark plugs and changed fuses. It's very dangerous and I found out this is VERY common , especially for my year.
The vehicle stalls while driving at any speed. It has left me on the highway or the middle of an intersection with myself & my kids in danger. The check engine light comes on before the vehicle shuts off completely & loses power & steering. The traction control & stability warning also come on. The vehicle has rolled backwards while in park numerous times so I have to use the parking brake on a regular basis as a safety precaution. The power steering is also an issue. The driver seat belt & air bags make this car a rolling death TRAP. There are past recalls or safety concerns for the traverse that are the exact same issue that I’m having but they are not specific to my vin number so the dealership refuses to address them! Is 7 recalls & they all apply to this vehicle! I’ve attempted to have the vehicle repaired multiple times & they have failed & the same problem returns. I just want my vehicle to be safe & not put myself or my family in danger of being injured or killed.
Multiple issues have occurred with this vehicle. I have had major unsafe issues while driving while on the freeway and streets where my vehicle reads traction control off and engine power reduced which leads my vehicle to lose all power and shut down being stranded and almost hit multiple times while by myself and while my husband and children are present. I believe I am the second or third owner of this vehicle and I was never given any information about any recalls
