2014 Chevrolet Traverse: multiple warning lights

Filed Jun 18, 2023 · Electrical, Lights · OK

All the dash lights go out. Very dangerous especially at night. sometimes turning on another electrical device will restore, sometimes shutting vehicle down and restarting will help. have tried covering/ cleaning light sensor, no help. just have to wait until it decides to work. started about 6 years ago. getting progressively worse. no warning lights. had independent mechanic check it, he says problem with instrument cluster. hard to tell as it was working when he looked at it. I need your support before this causes an accident.2014 Chevrolet Traverse. 69,200 miles

One day as I was driving on the freeway, the vehicle's engine light/airbag light came on and the vehicle then went into "engine power reduced mode" I was lucky to be close to a turn-off. I was able to get the vehicle off the road safely. I turned off the vehicle and check it. Then turned the vehicle back on and all lights were off. It was shocking, the car was driving normally. I did not think twice and took it to the dealership. They told us it was just the battery and airbag sensor. Thankful they changed it, no cost to us. But later this happened again, this time it was the "engine light and traction control off". We have no idea what it is. Because we have taken the vehicle to a mechanic to get checked, but they can't seem to find anything wrong with it. This happens several times. Can I have some answers or help to stop this from happening. At this point this vehicle to very dangerous to drive.

While exiting the freeway 6/1/2019, on the off ramp luckily, my 2014 chevy traverse's lights start coming on: service stabilitrak, traction control off, service traction control, power engine reduced and the car slows down and starts jerking. I get stopped at the end of the ramp and can't get the vehicle to start moving again. Turned on my hazards and shut off the vehicle and turned it on and off several times. Finally, all the lights go off and my vehicle started moving normally again but the check engine light was on and stayed on. After several hours the check engine light went off. Taking into my mechanic to see what the problem could be but it looks like this is common on the 2014 and may not have a solution. This is really frustrating especially after only having this vehicle for 8 1/2 months! Should have some kind of recall out there.

I was going through a drive-thru, and left the parking lot. When I stopped at a stop sign I heard a chime, and a ' traction control off, service traction control, and service stabilitrak' lights came across the screen on the dashboard as well as the traction control light. So I drove back toward my job, and about 3 miles down the road, my car started to shake and the rpms started to go up!, so I started to drive to the dealership I bought it from 3 months ago, and they didn't have any appointments for today, so I left and made an appointment for tomorrow. As I was driving back to work, the car started to shake and decline in speed, this lasted about 2 minuets and then went back to normal, I parked my car at work, and went back in for 4 hours. When I came back out, all the lights were off, and it drove fine home. Hoping that the dealership can fix it, I don't feel safe driving my children in this vehicle any longer! I could have been in a wreck today! I have read this is a common problem with the traverse! I have also read that it has yet to be fixed, I have two young children, I bought this car for safety for them, and now it could hurt them! This is not the first time this has happened, this is the longest it has lasted. It has happened about 3-5 other times, just a short 5-10 seconds and then back to normal!

Our vehicle only has 15000 miles on it. I was driving ot normally in a 35 zone on a city street and my car started to shake and not accelerate. All the warning lights and bells and whistles started going off. I immediately took it into my chevy dealer to see what was wrong. After having it less than 24 hours they gave it back to me saying they saw the warning on the computer and they did nothing cause the car isn't doing it anymore. After doing research on the internet, I see it has been a problem with the traverse since 2011 models. The chevy dealership does nothing to fix this. I am terrified to drive this car with my family and have us get in an accident. I have owned this car for 1.5 years and bought it brand new. Please investigate this.. Someone could get hurt or killed while driving one.

While in motion, the vehicle began to sputter, the dashboard and radio went blank, the locks in the doors went up and down several times. I pressed the brake and was unable to stop the car as I was approaching a stop sign. I had to roll through the stop sign and narrowly missed being hit at the intersection. Within a few seconds, the vehicle regained power and I was able to drive home. This has happened on 2 other occasions where the car has lost electrical power for several seconds while driving down the road. I also went out to my stationary parked car and tried to start it one morning. The vehicle was completely dead, like it had a dead battery, but the ignition would not release my key or let me turn the key back to the off position. So I started to try to get to the battery to jump th e vehicle off, but by the time I got ready to do this, I opened the car door and all the lights came back on and the car started right up (but without a working radio this time). This is a very serious and dangerous problem. We have only had the car for a few months and we have now had our car in a chevy dealership for 15 days and they have been unable to replicate the problem and so they are trying to send the vehicle home with us without any other solution other than to keep driving it (putting my family in danger) and try to record it when it happens again (so I can prove I'm not crazy or just making this stuff up).

The service stabilitrac; traction control is off, park assist is off, and check engine light along with ebs warning lights all come on along with loss of power; the car won't go over 25. This has happened several times; the first time it was wet, along with happening several other times when it was wet; then it happened last week when it was completely dry as I got off the interstate in heavy traffic; with the accelerator to the floor it would only go aprox 15-20 MPH, along with all the lights once again coming on. The dealer did not document the first time we took it in for this problem, the just told us they had no idea what it could be unless they could see it happening. Unfortunately it resets itself usually after being turned off for a while and it does not happen on a predictable way there is no warning it just happens. The 2nd time we took it in they only documented that it was a forward & reverse problem; the only part of that that's true is that the 1st time it happened it was after I stopped then it would only go in reverse for about 20mins then it was fine the check engine light stayed on until they shut it off. The last time it happen the dealer wanted me to pay them a $95 diagnostic fee before they would even look at it. This is a safety hazard; if this problem would get fixed I love my car; but as it stands I'm afraid I'm gonna end up in an accident; I am seriously considering trading it in on a safer vehicle, even though I haven't had it quite 2 yrs yet. I have contacted chevy via the internet to express my concerns; they just took my info and the problem and said the would research what was going on; I still haven't heard from them & that was over a week ago.

While driving on a major highway, my new 2014 chevy traverse lost all engine power. This is the 2nd time this has happened in several months. My vehicle lost power, lights went off and I nearly escaped a car accident while steering without any engine power! There was no warning- no lights warned us, no sounds, no sputtering- just lost engine power. I nearly was killed and avoided an accident on the highway. Several lights went off: "trak control off, check stab trak." gm has another vehicle on their hands that must be recalled. I do not want to put my young children back in this vehicle. It will kill someone. This is the 2nd event with this "computer glitch." several months ago, as I drove the car off the lot - the lights went off and gm dealer said it was a computer glitch. To drive a new car, and without any warnings - no warnings when the engine completely shut down is a danger to the public. This is unacceptable. I don't want a new computer part. I won't drive this vehicle, it will kill someone.
