After some investigating we find this is a major issue with a lot of other 2012 and more Chevy Traverse owners. We have had several close calls when this happened on the Florida Turnpike at speeds of 75 mph and when the issue happens you lose all power and puts you in a very unsafe situation. We have had almost 3 accidents so far and are very nervous to drive this vehicle on the hwy.
This is my second report in this forum. 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 non-defining 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 am shockingly surprised at so many other similar incidents and NOTHING is being done by Chevrolet. I will most likely trade mine for a NON-Chevy product and I will N OT EVER by another Chevy.
The first time I was in a restaurant drive thru but sitting idle. Then several warnings 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 initiating 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.
