My 2014 Chevy Traverse has been having this issue for months now. I will be driving and my service stabilitrak, traction control off, check engine light will light up, and engine power reduced will pop up. I can not go over 20 mph. At times the engine will become very stally, jerky, my steering wheel and brakes will be very hard to use. These are very random and non patterned I will have to safely pull over rather it be on a back road or a highway wherever it happens turn the engine off for 5-20 minutes and it will eventually clear everything but the check engine light; which will clear within that day or the next until the next time it happens. It has also cause my key to lock up in the ignition. This is very unsafe and scary. This is my family car and will eventually cause an accident and hurt myself, my kids, or someone else. If you google the issue there are tons of forums, websites, blogs that have the same issue with this car. I have spent numerous hours investigating the issue, lots of money replacing parts as recommended or by the check engine light and it continues to do this. GM is going to have a lawsuit on their hands when someone gets seriously hurt over this issue because they are not doing anything about it.

2014 Traverse will suddenly shut down and not move. Flashes service stabilitrac, traction control off, reduced engine power. My vehicle has shut down multiple times including driving on the freeway with my two children in the car. After turning the car off and finally being able to turn it back on again, I am able to get the traction control to say on and to move my car. This last time the steering wheel locked up and my car wouldn't start for almost 10 minutes, with me and my children sitting in the middle of an intersection.

The stabilitrak service warning flashes. When this happens, it reduces the power of the engine causing the vehicle to shut down. This only happens when the car is in motion and now it won't start at all.
I was driving this vehicle and instantly all power was cut off. When I came to a stop I put the vehicle in park and tried to start only to have failed to start quite a few times. After a minute of sitting, the car started again. The car stalled a few more times after on the way home. The dash said stabilitrak needs to be serviced and the engine power was reduced. This could really cause an accident! this problem seem to happen when I was slowing down or coming to a stop.
My vehicle will first stall and slow down with 'engine power reduced' and something about the traction control and stability track going across the dash right before my vehicle stops on me. This happens frequently at any moment and now I am unable to start it back up. I was told by pep boys that it is an electrical problem, with codes reading a shortage in the fuse box. I checked the web for any recalls and saw that others were having the same issues, yet no recalls. This is dangerous because my vehicle stops at any moment in the middle of a drive, even on the highway. Now I am without reliable transportation in my 2014 Traverse. I love my vehicle, but GM needs to fix this issue.
1st time vehicle on highway. Lost engine power...engine light and stability light came on. Cycled through error codes reduced engine power, service stability track, traction control off. Code P16820. 2nd time it happened at a stop light. Car will not go more than 10 miles an hour. Engine runs choppy like it's going to stall. After car was shut off overnight, it reset and ran normal except engine light stays on. Dealer can't find any issue. Can't recreate. See on youtube that this has happened to many others. There should be a recall!!! dangerous especially for a family car. People buy Traverse's when they have children!!!! please recall!!!
Driving the kids to school and the vehicle just cut off on the interstate and the traction control turned off. I was able to catch the exit and make it to the side. It would not start. It finally started and I was able to go two miles where it cut off again, holding up morning school and work traffic on the two lane road. There was no shoulder to pull off to. I just read where there was an issue with a short in the electrical system that causes the car to just shut off. I put my VIN number in the recall database to see what to do and it tells me my car is not on the recall list. This is dangerous and I fear for my family knowing these types of issues exist.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle suddenly jerked and stalled. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and pulled over to the side of the road. When the vehicle was restarted, the contact heard a revving sound coming from the vehicle and it began to shake. The contact stated that the engine power reduced and traction control warning indicators illuminated. After pulling over to the side of the road, the contact turned the vehicle back off and waited a few minutes before they were able to turn the vehicle back on with no warning indicators illuminated. The failure occurred a total of four times. During the fourth failure, the service stabilitrak indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, but they could not diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The manufacturer provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.
While driving at 45mph the vehicle completely shut off, the gauge cluster went crazy stating "stabilytrack" "reduced engine power" check engine came on and notices temp.guage also went up from 210 to 215 slighty when I put in park and restarted vehicle restarted with no problem I drove to mechanic shop with no issue 4 miles away and when I arrived to shop I turned vehicle off and when mechanic returned to check engine error none was found or recorded this is the secon time it happens?
I was driving along the highway and the car beeped and went into low engine power and died. I was able to steer to the side of the road, but had no power. This has happened 10 times. The first few times I was able to turn the car off and then back on again and it was fine. 3 times ago, the car died and wouldn't not turn over. A wrecker was called. We have had this vehicle in the shop 8 times in 2019 for this issue.
Engine power comes up low power and I just brought a new battery which I know that not it. The car will throttle and then I can only go up to 20 miles per an hour and it's hard to steer. I will have to stop the car for twenty minutes and it will start back up with the engine light on. This is very dangerous to take on the highway or even drive especially I have kids in my car. What can I do"?"
Mi auto SE apaga tanto en carretera como en la ciudad esto empez hace un mes, despus de apagarse SE ilumina la seal de antibloqueo Y la luz del motor, baja la potencia Y tengo que aparcar Y esperar para volverlo a prender SE textea Y sale un codigo generico de Chevrolet P1682, esto esta pasando seguidamente poniendo en riesgo la vida de mi familia Y la MA propia.
I'll be accelerating and my car will just jerk into gear as if it's having trouble shifting. The vehicle will also stall out when driving on the highway or in town, lose power and ding and the 'service stabilitrack' alert comes on the dash. I have driven it straight to the dealership on several occasions and the vehicle doesn't throw a code and they can never duplicate the problem. After doing some research, I've learned that I'm not the only one with this problem and it been going on for some time. This is my first Chevy and I will never purchase another. I love everything about this vehicle except for the issues I've had not being resolved. I will go back to Toyota after this. Very disappointing. I've owned the vehicle for 4 years and this error has occurred over 30 times. Unbelievable. The car will also jerk into gear when the vehicle slows for a curve or a vehicle in front of me is slowing and when I accelerate after passing the car jerks into gear.
A life and safety issue! with no warning the vehicle will suddenly shut off. It does not matter if you're moving on the freeway or parked, it is very intermittent and only happened three times in the last 6 to 8 weeks. Two different mechanics said error it's code P1682 is the fault but it will not duplicate the symptoms. I contacted Chevy corporate and they knowledge other vehicles this year have a recall but claim mice VIN number is not affected and will do nothing. Hey fuel vehicle is in safe and do not want my family in it until I am certain it will not suddenly shut off while they are in motion.
Intermittent check engine light reduced power, stabilitrac failure, and traction control failure even at high speeds or while vehicle in motion in city and on highway causing engine to stall out losing power-steering and power. Once vehicle is stopped and key is removed from ignition, engine restarts normally with normal vehicle operation but problem is recurring -- potential danger for accident and injury high.
It's happened more times than I can count. Definitely over 10. I'm driving my Traverse, on the highway or in town, and then my car goes crazy. Bells begin to ding and dash lights come on. The info center tells me to service stabiltrack and then I get a reduced engine power warning and I cannot go over 25 mph. I pull off the road or off the side of the highway, turn on my hazard lights and shut off my car. After a few minutes I turn my car back on and everything seems fine but the engine light stays on. It's done this with every driver in my family. I'm absolutely heartbroken. My family has been loyal gmac customers since before I was born and I was proud to keep up the tradition but this car has made me look at other car manufacturers. My 2004 GMC Envoy is more reliable than this car. This is our family vehicle and we are considering renting a car for a 800 mile trip I need to take next week for a funeral. After doing research I have discovered that GM is and has been aware of this problem for quite awhile and has done nothing to fix it. Numerous people have thrown good money down the drain to try to fix it with no success. It's time for GM to do something about this or they are endanger of losing plenty of loyal customers and future customers. Shame on you GM for putting money in your pockets over the safety and satisfaction of thousands of customers.
It has been probably 10 times or so that my vehicle has had the stability track engine reduce power come on. I am usually driving on the freeway and then out of the blue this happens. I have to try and get over to the shoulder so that I do not get ran over as I have no power to keep going. I can usually turn off the engine and then it will start back up but the check engine light stays on. I have done some research and 2014 Traverse were under recall # 14V614000. Called GM and they told me that mine was not under this recall. The recall should pertain to all 2024 Traverses as the recall states it is 2014 models that are having this issue. I am still paying for a vehicle that we cannot even drive. Someone needs to step up and do something about this, before some is hurt.
