While driving on the highway the traction control, stabilitrak warning indicator comes on and then immediately reduces power to the vehicle. This is extremely dangerous. You could be driving normal highway speeds of 70 mph and then all of a sudden the vehicle goes into this traction control, stabilitrak mode and basically shuts the car down. This has happened several times to me and will only clear this mode if the vehicle is turn off and sits for a while and then restarted.
Been having issues with my vehicle with stabilitak and sensors. My car starts shaking engine power is reduced to 10-15 mph. Taken it to dealeship 6 different times and have been told that there is nothing wrong with it that they can figure out. Almost got hit on the highway when my car abruptly went down to 15mph without any warning. Car behind me had to swerve to the side to avoid impact. It doesn't matter whether I'm driving or slowing down for a red light it happens at all different times.
Today 1/08/2018 around 08:30 I was driving in the middle of the highway 287 when the car started checking, reducing power up to a complete stop. When I look up, the stabilitytrak/ service traccion control off was showing in the dashboard. I tried to turn on the car, but it won't until up to 1 hour by chance when it started again with engine reduced power. This issue have been there even though I went to the mechanic twice, where they cleaned the throtle body which apparently fixed the issue before.
Stability/traccion control errors. This error make the engine to lose power and even to put the car at complete stop. It is dangerous becvause it can happen any time even in the highway.

On October 13, 2017 I was driving on the highway going 50 mph. When suddenly the car de-accelerated its velocity at 15 to 20 mph. Then notice the instrument panel displaying traction control on and cycling to off. It also displayed stabilizer control service with a flashing check engine light. It was very frightened when vehicles behind me had to come to a reduce speed almost resulting in an accident with the risk of getting hit on the back or tail of the vehicle. Had to pull over changing from one of the two middle lanes at slow velocity which was a dangerous maneuver to make it to the shoulder. I've read this same issue on line with other owners on this type of vehicle. Therefore a recall or an investigation with this issue should be done.

This report is related to a known and widespread computer glitch in late model GM cars. The glitch seems to be triggered by other system faults when the car is in motion causing multiple failures rendering the car unable to maintain speed over 20 mph or so and also affecting the braking system. Please watch this video https://youtu.be/hbvaoiixnxy and then read the comments. This has been going on for years across a variety of GM models including the 2017 Traverse. It is a major safety issue as the cars become seriously incapacitated when the glitch occurs. There is no clear failure occurring and there are no faults recorded in the car's modules making it very difficult to diagnose and repair. If we didn't have the video I took to prove it was happening the dealership would have sent us away again. Please watch the video, everything you need to know is in there. People continue to comment on our video because it is still happening! there is a report for a 2017 Traverse in the comments section! thank you!
Purchased the vehicle in Jan/2017 certified pre-owned. After about 2-3 months I would notice a lack of power when trying to accelerate. It seemed as though the vehice was trying to keep up on a 25mph street. The vehicle would also "jerk" when accelerating. And just today I got a flashing check engine light and a warning that the traction control was off, has a loss of engine power, and after about 30 seconds the warnings went away and the car began to gain acceleration.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving 55 mph on the freeway, the vehicle started to veer to the left and right independently. The contact heard a ding noise and the vehicle felt like it would stall. In addition, the instrument panel indicators flickered and the electronic stability sensor and traction control indicator remained illuminated. The contact notified the dealer (mountain view Chevrolet 1079 w foothill blvd, upland, ca 91786 909-985-2866) and was informed to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer stated that they would notify the dealer and would call the contact back within 24 hours. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Car lost throttle control. Engine remained running, but car just lost power with no throttle response. Has happened several times now at different speeds. Dealership cleaned throttle body and reset cpu, but it happened again the next day, turning vehicle off letting it sit for a minute does remedy the problem temporarily, but eventually happens again with no warning which could be very dangerous on the highway. Date below was the last time it happened, I would have to look for the first time which was over a year ago after we had the break booster replaced under warranty. The traction control light comes on when this happens.
