Chevrolet Traverse stalling problems

Filed Nov 1, 2026 · TX

I am filing a formal safety complaint regarding an engineering defect in the exhaust support system of the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse that creates a direct chain-reaction failure, compromising vehicle safety and emissions controls. My vehicle experienced a complete structural failure of the front exhaust pipe mounting bracket—a known manufacturing defect heavily documented by General Motors under GM Special Coverage Adjustment N242445280. When this corporate-acknowledged bracket snaps, the exhaust system loses its vital structural anchoring point. As a direct mechanical consequence, the heavy catalytic converter assembly is left completely unsupported, subjecting it to violent, unmitigated engine vibrations and structural flexing during normal operation. This extreme mechanical stress directly forced a hairline crack to split open along the welded seams of the catalytic converter inlet pipe. Safety Risk and Consequences: This defect poses an immediate safety hazard on multiple fronts: 1. Exhaust/Carbon Monoxide Leak: The structural crack in the catalytic converter assembly allows raw, unfiltered, toxic exhaust gases—including carbon monoxide—to escape directly into the engine bay, creating a severe risk of passenger cabin intrusion while the vehicle is idling or in operation. 2. Fire Hazard: The unmitigated vibration and shifting of an unanchored, cracked exhaust line running at extremely high operating temperatures (exceeding 1,200°F) near surrounding components creates an elevated risk of thermal damage or engine bay fire. 3. Engine Stall Risk: The exhaust leak introduces erratic sensor readings, triggering a check engine light, risking unexpected engine performance degradation or a sudden stall at highway speeds. General Motors is actively utilizing the restrictive text of bulletin N242445280 to dodge liability for the full scope of this failure, forcing consumers to pay thousands out-of-pocket for cracked catalytic converters that are explicitly broken as a direct

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

The high-pressure fuel pump/fuel delivery system failed on my 2023 Chevrolet Traverse at approximately 47,480 miles. The vehicle generated diagnostic trouble code P0091. An authorized Chevrolet dealership inspected the vehicle and documented that the high-pressure fuel pump was “internally faulty” and required replacement. The vehicle and/or failed component may be available for inspection upon request, depending on whether the dealership retains the component after replacement. This failure presents a significant safety concern because the high-pressure fuel pump is responsible for maintaining proper fuel delivery to the engine. Failure of this system can result in hesitation, reduced engine performance, loss of power, stalling, or failure to start. A sudden loss of engine power while traveling at highway speeds, entering an intersection, or merging into traffic could increase the risk of a crash and endanger vehicle occupants and other motorists. The malfunction was confirmed by an authorized Chevrolet dealership through diagnostic testing. The dealership identified code P0091 and specifically documented the high-pressure fuel pump as internally faulty. To my knowledge, the vehicle has not been separately inspected by General Motors, law enforcement, an insurance company, or another independent investigator. Warning lights appeared intermittently prior to the diagnosis. The lights would illuminate and later turn off, despite the underlying malfunction still being present. I am concerned that a critical fuel-system component experienced an internal failure at only approximately 47,480 miles. I am requesting that the federal safety agency document and evaluate this failure to determine whether similar high-pressure fuel pump failures are occurring in other 2023 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles and whether this condition represents a potential vehicle safety defect.

On [XXX] I purchased the vehicle from Bakersfield Hyundai within days I reported break failure and notified them about a noise that was coming from the SUV that sounded like a mini motorcycle, they first said (Xavier) that the noise would go away because it had just gotten serviced but they kept me there for four plus hours and said I had to take it back which I did and again I took it for break replacement and I told them the noise would get louder and sometimes it would smell inside the vehicle like vinegar again they did nothing they falsely said I declined to stay because of time Which I didn't I asked if they were able to provide me with a vehicle while mine could get serve since I have children that attend school to who they said no, so I couldn't stay longer I had to pick up my children from school this is my only vehicle so Hyundai would not do anything about the breaks nor that sound the vehicle started making beeming noises from across the dashboard the main screen freezes and not to mention the vehicle stalls I have to jump start it, also when I sent Hyundai a video of the exhaust pipe ruptured they automatically contact Chevy and vehicle has to be towed to them there was a very strong oder of vinegar and rotten eggs coming into the cabin to which I had let Hyundai dealership know but they didn't document they said I had to take it to Chevy now they replaced the pipe but the vehicle still has issues starting up the screen still freezes and once in a while I still get that smell of vinegar in the cabin I have paperwork from Chevy and Hyundai I also have video, pictures and txt from Hyundai personal admitting to knowing about the pipe leak not to mention I was exposed to this for about 40 minutes I had driven my children to school I had my OBGYN appointment to which I informed my doctor I was experiencing a headache and dizziness I thought it was because of early pregnancy not knowing it was carbon monoxide I miscarried that following day 4/13/26.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding two vehicles provided through Bob Hook Chevrolet in [XXX] . My Chevrolet Traverse has been at the dealership for approximately one month due to a transmission failure. The vehicle has remained unrepaired during that time. The transmission issue has made the vehicle unreliable and unsafe to operate. While my Traverse was in the shop, the dealership provided me with a Buick Enclave loaner vehicle. On Thursday, while driving the Enclave, the vehicle repeatedly stalled. The entire electrical system shut down, and the power steering failed and locked up. This created a very dangerous situation and made it difficult to safely control the vehicle in traffic. After reporting the breakdown and safety concerns, the dealership’s only solution was to return my Chevrolet Traverse to me even though it had not been repaired. I am concerned about the serious safety risks involving sudden stalling, electrical failure, loss of steering assist, and unresolved transmission problems. I request that these issues be investigated to determine whether defects exist that could endanger other drivers.

My dashboard gave an alert “battery saver active” then another alert stating to “service charging system, vehicle may stall”. Then the alerts cleared. After a few minutes both alerts were on my dashboard again. I was able to pull into an [XXX] ’s and had them check the battery, which was replaced a few months ago, employee stated that the battery was so low, only showing 11.4 that they couldn’t even test it, that she testing the alternator and the computer said it needed to be replaced. The employee stated that most GM replacement alternators for Chevy traverse 2023 are on back order due to so many having to be replaced right at the 3 year mark. We could only get a store brand replacement part due to the back order. Once I bought the part, my husband drove behind me for the 30 minute drive home, we had to pull over twice to jump off the battery and charge it due to the vehicle stalling. Once home we replaced the part and seems to work fine, it has only been 9 days. I have the original part for inspection and receipts of purchase for the new part.
