While driving on the highway at 55mph my vehicle seemed to suddenly drive rough and I thought I was going to lose control or a blown tire or something. I lost power and my vehicle began to slow down on its own. Things began to light up on my dash about the stabilitrak system needing servicing. This was terrifying since cars were flying by me and I was in the middle lane. This has happened more than once even on local roads at slower speeds such as 30mph. Why is there no recall for this? there are so many complaints and families are in these vehicles including mine. I am also getting a check engine code for timing. My vehicle is just at 70K miles and I use it as a daily driver to/from work and primarily just in my town. Furthest I drive is 20 minutes down the highway to a relative and back. Please fix this with a recall! it is extremely unsafe! the recall shouldn't be issued once there is a tragic death, it should be issued before!! I've already had to deal with my wipe blades coming off and hitting each other because the bolts came loose while I was driving home in heavy rain and there was a recall for that! this stabilitrak and timing recall needs to happen.

This has happened twice once with our kids in the car on the way home from the airport and once to my wife on her way home from work. Both on the freeway at 65+ mph. Driving fine then all of a sudden violent shaking, and loss of power. Cannot steer at 65 mph that is literally deadly. Service stabilitrak light comes on, traction control off light comes on, and reduced engine power light comes on. Extremely dangerous and had a 6,4, and 2 year old in the vehicle. The fact that this hasn't been addressed as a recall is absolutely absurd. I went through 16 pages of complaints on a Chevrolet forum about this issue. How many does it take before the problem is addressed" does someone need to die" from what I understand it may not be worth taking into a mechanic as they have not been able to nail down the issue and I don't have thousands of dollars to pour into a problem that doesnt have a sure cure. Abaolutely ridiculous to be doing freeway speeds and then not be able to steer. Do something about this.

The truck loose power and light traction control need services soon and engine luck of power is to go over 20 miles

I was driving my Traverse on an on ramp to the highway when the check engine light came on. The dash said service stabilitrac, engine power reduced... just as I was about to merge into traffic. I lost acceleration and had to take the shoulder of the highway to avoid getting run over by a semi that was at highway speed! I can't believe there isn't a recall or something for this extremely dangerous issue!!

I was driving down the street. Everything went out on my dash speed odometer, and gas light hand. I was losing power. Then I notice it said service stabilitrak control off.

- Norfolk, VA, USA

Stabilitrak/ traction control turns off suddenly while driving without reason. ABS brakes light comes on in message center. Vehicle suddenly loses power and engine idles rough. Occurs suddenly without warning leaving driver/passengers stranded in dangerous roadways. Vehicle only has 70,000 miles and is serviced regularly. Vehicle was serviced two months ago for this problem, where an alignment temporarily fixed the problem. Two months later, problem returned.

'service stabilitrack' 'traction control off' loss of engine power lights come on while driving causing the car to immediately slow and traction control to turn off. This almost caused us to hit another car with the loss of power before we were able to pull over shut the car off restart and drive with the error warnings gone. This happens frequently

- Pingree Grove, IL, USA

At 30K miles the stability and would put my car in limp mode. This is extremely dangerous onthe interstates. Suddenly dropping the speed to about 30 mph. I dealt with this by keeping the stabilitrac turned off. Now at 100K it turned on and off by itself. Reeding blogs I have found no fix for this. The vehicle now fills with fumes. I will probably never buy another GM product. I can not use my car. This happens in almost every driving situation.

In December of 2018 I took my car to diane sauer in Warren Ohio because the stabilizer traction control light came on and the car was driving very rough. I took it to diane sauer and service manager keith said nothing was wrong with it and didn't charge me for the diagnostic report. I took my car back in January 2019 with same problem but worse. So bad I got off the by-pass and had it towed. Diane sauer had my car for two weeks and never called about the car. I had to repeatedly call them. After two weeks they say the engine was gone. Keith told GM it was due to lack of maintenance. I provided GM and diane sauer with all receipts of my oil change. I bought that car from diane sauer brand new!!! I took care of the car and after seven years they say the engine is gone!!!! no way!!! I took great care of that car!!! diane sauer needs to stand behind their products!!!! diane sauer would not be in business without your customers who support your business!!!! stand behind your products!!!! be honest!!! the trust is gone!!!!!!

Purchased car used in December '15. Numerous times car was driving and a warning was given on dash "reduce engine owr, service stablitrak". car was takento marty feldman in livonia, mi (May 17)and per inspection stated needed new accelerator pedal which was not the problem. Problems persisted with said vehicle fast fwd to March 2019 car will not start at all. Victory Chevy in Milan, mi stated timing chain went out needs replaced. Online a quick search finds these same issues with thousands of Traverse N equinox models!!! a recall is needed

While driving the kids to school the dash dings and says traction control off, service stabilitrak, engine power is reduced. Then my car would not go over 15mph. I am now afraid to drive this car especially with the kids as it is unsafe.

- Toledo, OH, USA

All of a sudden the vehicle displays service stabilitrak, traction control off, engine power reduced. Then the vehicle has very little power to accelerate or navigate hills. When it first happened to me, I pulled out of our driveway and it just wasn't running smoothly and I had very little power to drive forward.

- Hastings, MI, USA

I've had this 2012 Traverse for less than a year. At first the traction control would come on after sitting at a red light. Reduced engine light comes on and truck will pull hard and barely exceed 40mph. I pull over, turn off engine for approximately a minute. Then restart engine and stabilitrak would go off. Now the problem will occur while driving. Sometimes the engine shuts off in mid traffic. It also comes on while in warming engine in the mornings. I have to turn engine off and on a few times before it goes off.

The first time I was in a restaurant drive thru but sitting idle. Then several codes flashed on my dash about traction control and stabilitrak and limp mode and it started to stink. We towed it to our mechanic and he could not tell what code was causing the issue so he cleared the codes and it ran fine after that. After a couple additional trips to the mechanic, we did have a couple issues seemingly related and he ended up replacing a coil and all the spark plugs. Now, a few months later, my wife was driving up the road to our house and just before turning into our driveway, the same error messages came up on the dash. She turned off the car and called me. When I got home I started the car and got the same results. We had the car towed to our mechanic again. This time when the tow truck arrived, the car did not start. After it arrived at our mechanic, he could not start it, and he could only read one code and it said nondefining code and he could not determine what the problem is. He then cleared the code and it is running fine again. I am very concerned this is going to happen on the highway with my wife driving and she will be seriously hurt. I have read many other complaints of this same issue and cannot believe a recall has not happened. Just look at this: [xxx] I am not seriously considering trading it in for a non Chevy vehicle.

While driving, stopped at light. Started to drive and ABS trouble light comes on and the brakes lock up. I had to drive as if all my brakes where on, they heat up and smoke. Parked in my driveway husband go out to check and trouble is gone. Ack to normal. No trouble locked in as if nothing happened. Dealer said can't do anything unless it is brought in with trouble. It's has been happening about once a month. Almost got in accident. Chevy. Reds to address and fix this problem. There are a lot of other people on the internet stating the same problem. Going to get rid of car if the problem can not be fix before I get in an accident with my kids. Chevy should investigate the problem and create a recall to correct the problem before someone ends up getting killed from it. It is a huge safety issue and do not understand why nothing is being done about the problem.

My wife was driving our 2012 Chevy Traverse, received errors "engine power is reduced" and "traction control off". she said the vehicle couldn't go above 20 mph and she was on a 50mph road. She was very frantic with our kids in the car. Drove it to our mechanic who told us it's a fuel pressure sensor issue going to cost $400. Started searching and found many forums with the same problem and appears no one knows what's wrong. Very unsafe. Need a recall. Happening too often.

The first night when the temperature dropped below 40 degrees my car wouldn't start so I replaced my battery spending $188 for a brand new battery. The very next morning the car still wouldn't start so I got someone to jump me off. It cranked with no issue. When I put the car in drive it would not accelerate beyond 35mph. I then attempted to turn around and go home and my car would only reverse and would no longer move in the drive selection. In neutral the car locked up and wouldn't drive. I eventually drove in reverse illegally down the highway in morning rush hour traffic. I enventuallt made it home and let my car sit for an hour while calling for assistance. When I went back to restart the car is acting as if the battery is dead. This was not only dangerous with 4 children inside but unsafe to be stuck in traffic will no way to accelerate in drive. My car will no longer crank without a jump I took it to a mechanic who stated that he couldn't see the issue and recommended that I simply trade it in which isn't an option currently.

Was driving to work on I-95 North in rush hour traffic and all of a sudden hear ding ding ding then loose power and car goes into limp mode. Service traction control light comes on in dash. Vehicles behind me almost ran into me as my car slowed for no reason and no brake lights. It was very difficult and scary to maneuver to the side of the road. Many angry motorists honking and displaying rude gestures as I got to the side of the road. Had vehicle towed and told was a sensor that caused it. Now 3 later same thing driving home from cheerleading practice with 3 young children in car. I have read many cases of same thing with this type car on Chevy Traverse forums.

- Bealton, VA, USA

My fuel light came on so I went to the nearest station to fill up. I always turn my car off while pumping. When I went to start the car afterwards, it acted like it didn't want to start. I proceeded to leave the station. As I got on the road my lights started coming on warning me that the traction control is off, that the stability something needs serviced, then something about power reduced. I quickly went from 45 mph to less than 20 on a flat road. Scared me bc I had my family in my car and on a one lane road trying to get to the side so others could pass me.

While driving on a on a busy street vehicle- approx 30mph - unexpectedly and without warning this vehicle suddenly decelerated / downshifted to a crawl. We nearly lost control of the car and narrowly avoided several close calls of people behind us. Thankfully we were not on the highway as others have described. Also, door locks began locking and unlocking on their own. Once we got to a safe spot messages on the display began flashing, service stabiltrak; service traction control; park assist off; traction control on; traction control off. Towed this car to the dealer for an exorcism since it was no longer driveable. First thing they did was replace the battery. As they tell it a bad / funky battery might cause bad things to the electronic transmission module. $400 later issues persist. Now I am told I need to replace the transmission outright - $5500. This just can't be right. This is barely 6 year old vehicle with just over $115K. Serviced regularly / without fail. Shame on you Chevrolet. I'm betting no chev exec, dealer or mechanic would ever trust this car for their family vehicle
