While driving my car, the instrument panel just went blank. My gages all read 0. No speedometer, no battery voltage, no fuel level. The driver information center also shut off. Blinkers would not work, door lock/unlock button did not work after stopping the car. The engine never felt like it lost power and my car would still drive but I could not signal or see how fast I was going.
We have had a recall on our vehicle for over a year now. The finance and car dealership we are leasing our vehicle from is completely useless and has had zero interest in returning my phone call or assisting me in repairing our vehicle. I need emergency assistance ASAP as mine and my families life depend on it.
My airbag warning light came on and the system reported a seatbelt issue. There was a recall for my vehicle in 2014 that wasn-??t repaired. Over time my vehicle has had insurmountable electrical issues as well.
While driving, check engine light went on, stabilitrack and traction control went off (information from Driver Information Center) and power was reduced. This occurred several times a week and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation. After safely stopping, I was able to resume travel after turning off engine and restarting, although check engine light would remain on for several on/off cycles. Engine stored code P1682. This has also happened while at a stop and when the accelerator was pressed, the vehicle would stall (sometimes in middle of intersection).

The front airbags have to be replaced there is no replacement part available. My right left blinkers do not always work If airbags can't be fixed then I want them turned off, I would rather risk injury the old fashion way before airbags then to be harmed by metal
2014 Chevy Traverse - stalls while driving very abruptly. Reduce engine power and service stablitrak comes on. Then traction control warning lights flash. Very very dangerous. Happen while driving car begins to shake violently and recently stalled in middle of busy intersection. No way this should not be recalled it's definitely a known issue. Unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to provide a cause for the failure. Towed to Chevy Dealership in Lancaster NY - Basil quoted $4k+ for repair to engine control relay and timing chain. If there is recall on this we will keep and get fixed if not will need to pass and look at other vehicles. Everything starts to go after warranty dates are up or after you hit a certain mileage. We have always purchased GM vehicles my father is GM retiree. Please help.

The vehicle has a brake light over the hatch but no bottom brake lights. Replaced bulbs and fuses and brake light switch and still no brake lights. Took it to a shop and they don't know what's wrong. After getting gas I crunk car, put it in drive and car started going in reverse and front air wouldn't work either but back air did. It seems to be an electrical issue. Just got vehicle in June of 2023. The brake light issue needs attention immediately very dangerous. I've been behind an Acadia and an Equinox and noticed they don't have bottom brake lights either. The spare tire is also too low and squeaky when operating vehicle and can fall of while driving. Please fix these issues it's very dangerous and very upsetting.
All the dash lights go out. Very dangerous especially at night. sometimes turning on another electrical device will restore, sometimes shutting vehicle down and restarting will help. have tried covering/ cleaning light sensor, no help. just have to wait until it decides to work. started about 6 years ago. getting progressively worse. no warning lights. had independent mechanic check it, he says problem with instrument cluster. hard to tell as it was working when he looked at it. I need your support before this causes an accident.2014 Chevrolet Traverse. 69,200 miles
The display on the speedometer is barely visible. It is called the Driver Information Center, but is attached to the speedometer. I am not able to see any information on it most of the time, particularly the day. The safety issue is I can not tell if my tires are to pressure, if my oil needs to be changed. I can not see the odometer. I have seen many people online have this issue. Someone's fix that seems to have worked for a few people is replacing the speedometer, which would be fine but then you have to get it reprogrammed by the dealer. Which is even more money for something that is essential to work in a car.
I had to replace the two Modules under the rear bumper one on each side. It was warning me service side detection system on my dash. I took it to parsons Chevrolet in Antigo and they told me this is so common on the traverses they swell up and they make the whole car not run. I had to have it towed to the dealership and spend over $1000 to get it repaired. I was wondering about compensation for this. I-??m just shocked if it-??s happening to all these vehicles how can there not be a recall issued for a large amount of these happening. Please let me know thank you.
Traction control said off light on. Car shut down power failure. Car shaking as it stopped in traffic almost causing an accident. Barely made off road. I have seen other multiple complaints and no way to fix this problem. It is a death sentence on the highway. With no other transportation for me.
While driving, check engine light went on, stabilitrack and traction control went off (information from Driver Information Center) and power was reduced. This occurred several times over a period of two to three weeks and vehicle slowed down dramatically and had to be driven slowly from the roadway. This was a dangerous situation and luckily it never happened at highway speeds in one of the left lanes of traffic. After safely stopping, I was able to resume travel after turning off engine and restarting, although check engine light would remain on for several on/off cycles. Engine stored code P1682. Brought to dealer service and they repaired per TSB #19-NA-276 related to issues in fuse box. Repair was $406.48. This is a known issue with manufacturer. Also, many owners have mentioned this safety issue on Internet forums and YouTube videos.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle began to stall and then seized. The contact stated that the low fuel level warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving to his destination. The contact stated he had experienced the failure on three different occasions. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V223000 (Electrical System, Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included.

Airbags light turns off & on. Then my vehicle will reset itself while driving. All gauges & lights turn off in vehicle & I have to pull over, turn the car on & off for it to work. Vehicle airbag will also make a popping sound when airbag light turns on & off. Vehicle turns off while driving & fuel light will say full then drop to empty. Power steering will go out & turn back on randomly.
Side blind zone detection system reported service required in the driver information center. Upon further investigation drivers side model PN 22844861 was swollen with corrosion. This eventually led to other issues on the vehicle including the turn signals dash information and air bag warning and remote key fob not working. GM issued service bulletin 16-NA-178 for repair. I initiated a case number with GM 9-7646907751. I also found GM N172097060 special coverage for the same issue for the 2013-2014 GMC Acadia, which uses the same system as the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. I would like to get this resolved by GM and I-??m unsure why they do not include the Chevrolet Traverse and the Buick Enclave for this special coverage for Side Blind Zone Alert Module Water Intrusion.
The fuse block/box has been identified, as the problem by the manufacturer and reported to the dealer service centers. There have been numerous complaints filed on the 2014 Chevrolet Traverse fuse block. Service techs were instructed (years ago) to look at the fuse block when the following problems were reported by the owner. If they knew to instruct their techs to look at the fuse block/box, then they knew it was defective - it should have been recalled/replaced at that time. Since it wasn't, there have been ongoing safety risk to many vehicle owners and passengers. It has also required owners to pay hundreds of dollars to repair/replace the known defective part; I just paid $965. While driving at any speed, the car will begin shaking/jerking; dashboard messages begin: Engine Power is Reduced, Traction Control Off, Service Stabilitrak, along with the Service Engine light. In the city, before you can move over out of traffic, the engine stalls/stops. You are in the middle of the street with no engine power, no steering, and no brakes. This is very dangerous and can immediately result in an accident...to you/the driver, or cause an accident further behind, when the other drivers can't see that traffic has stopped. Even with flashers on, it may take several attempts to get the vehicle started again. The same situation occurred last year traveling down a highway at a speed of 70 mph, while we (myself and spouse) were able to pull off the road, had the car not started again - we would have had a towing bill back to the dealership service center. We were not told about the fuse block/box (known) problem at that time. I am truly shocked, very disappointed and angry to learn (on my own) that the safety of my granddaughter (from birth) has been a risk every time we traveled in my vehicle. She and I travel alone, sometimes up to 3/4 hrs. away to see family, and could have been in an accident or stranded on the side of a highway, or street, many times.
The electrical system malfunctioned. My car is available upon request for inspection. The lives of myself and my children was at risk. I have not taken my car to a dealer to be inspected, I shouldn-??t have to pay the dealer over $100 just to inspect my vehicle for a manufacturer-??s defect, especially because there is/was a recall for this exact issue. Recall #14515. I have video of my car doing exactly what is stated in the recall on a different day than the first incident. I was driving on the highway with my 3 children and all of a sudden the lights on my dashboard start lighting up the warning bell starts ringing and the dash displays the messages, -?? engine power is reduced, service traction control, service stabilitrack, traction control off.-?? When this happened my car suddenly slowed down on its own and then ultimately just turned off. I was on the highway so traveling about 70mph. There was a LOT of traffic, we were very lucky that I had a few seconds to pull onto the shoulder when the messages started appearing on the dash before the car turned off I was not at a complete stop when the car shut off and couldn-??t steer at all. We could have been hit by a car traveling at a high rate of speed. This same issue has occurred several times since the first incident, I am scared to even put my children into this vehicle. It-??s so unfortunate that the manufacturing company is aware of this issue and has only chosen a select number of vehicles to include in the recall.
