While driving the stability control turns off reduced engine power and the vehicle turns off leaving you no way to stream the vehicle. This happens at all speeds and in park. Engine code P1682. Been happening since April 2018. Two time engine turn off as I was driving on highway
On February 14 2019, I went outside to warm up my car. 10 minutes later while the car was still parked the whole engine was engulfed in flames. Fire department was called to put out the fire. No recent work had been done to the vehicle. The only work ever done in the 4 years I owned it were, new tires, new battery (in the back seat) and oil changes.
2014 Chevy Traverse engine, traction control, stabilitrak: Vehicle dash says "reduced engine power" and shuts the engine off while I'm still driving and in traffic. This occurred while I was crossing a busy side street, on 2 state roads, and other places. After turning off the engine for 30 seconds or so, I can restart it the vehicle and continue until it occurs again. I've taken it to the dealership twice. The PCM was replaced the first time after 3 days of keeping the vehicle. The second time, it was kept over a week and the PCM was replaced again. The same issue occured within 24 hours and has repeated several times.
The car has started to do a shimmy and then the car completely turns off and won't start again. There is always gas in the car, and the oil is changed regularly. The car has been taken to a local repair shop to address the issue. I was told that there is a small electrical connection box under the gas tank that was filled with dirt and getting poor contact. The small box was cleaned out and electric conductive gel was used. The car didn't have a problem for about 9 days and then it started to do the same thing as before. It has turned off mostly when the vehicle is moving. The latest time this happened was 11/6/2018

Ac won't come on or just shuts off while driving, sometimes the service airbag warning comes on, sometimes it sets a check engine light code P0119, if the recirculate button is not on then it lights up and ac compressor shuts off, pull over out of traffic and shut the car off and let everything come to a complete stop and restart the car, sometimes every thing clears up but sometimes it takes several restarts to get car to function properly. Happens driving on road or stationary. Checked battery but seems to be ok, checked fuse box and the entire fuse box is loose, the hold down screws in the fuse box appear to be stripped and will not tighten, shimmed the box to the frame to prevent it from shaking around in the engine compartment. Car was purchased from lakeside Chevrolet in rockwall, tx as a certified used car, it has been back to the dealer for the service airbag issue but they did not resolve the problem. Has been happening every since we purchased the vehicle. Keep looking for recalls but nothing yet. There are considerable complaints about this problem or similar problems. The problem with carrying this vehicle back to dealer is that they don't seem to know how to fix it. General Motors should recall this vehicle and repair it because it is obviously factory defective.
Vehicle was in motion when suddenly lost power and started flashing these warnings, traction control service, park assist off, stability control service.

The vehicle was towed to koons tysons Chevrolet Buick GMC (2000 chain bridge rd, vienna, va 22182, (703) 790-9800) where the ignition control relay was replaced, but the dealer was not sure if that would repair the vehicle.

The vehicle will all of a sudden go into low engine power mode, traction stability turns on and it limps - dealership states they can not recreate issue so can not fix. Several times to dealership each time they can not fix and it is running fine. All of the internet same problem with same vehicle. This is a huge safety issues as it has occured on the highway and an intersection before. It is very dangerous. The vehilce is not operatable during the eposide. You stop the vehile let it sit for a brief minute and it will start up and drive normal. When it happen this morning on the freeway it was very dangerous as it cause a stopage on the freeway in rush hour traffic and limping to the side at 5mph is scarry crossing lanes. This is a know issue and the company is not doing anything about it. Please help!!!!!!
Highway speed, hit moderate pothole and received multiple error messages in the display "engine power reduced" "service stabilitrak" "service traction control". engine barely running/running rough. Brakes have no power assist. Vehicle struggling to maintain 20mph and hard to get off the freeway. Appeared to be complete ECU malfunction. Had to abandon car in a public parking lot and have someone pick us up. Vehicle was towed to local dealership and yet they can find no fault codes, thus releasing the car with no work performed. This phenomenon has been documented on youtube here: [xxx] note: This is not my video, but is the exact scenario I encountered. Similar video documented here: [xxx] many other instances documented on the internet in various vehicle forums and across other GM platforms. This is an unsafe condition that should be a better investigated issue by Chevrolet.

While driving on the highway at 60 mph the traction control and check engine light came on, the power of the engine reduced from 60 to 30 mph, white smoke was coming out of the tail pipe. The mileage on the vehicle 37000. This is the second time in a month that this happens. The service department has done some repairs but the problems continues. I'm concern for the safety of my family.
Last week when my car was parked, it died. When I got back in, I realized it had died, and tried to start it. When I started it, all of these errors started popping up: "engine power reduced", "traction control is off", "service stabilitrak". the power was definitely reduced, and I could barely creep along. The car even shook like it was about to die. Then when I was trying to stop the ABS breaks came on and off several times. I parked and turned it off then turned it back on after a minute. It was back to normal except the service engine light was on. So I took it to the dealership and had them check it out. They couldn't find anything to fix and said to call again if anything happened again (they did charge the battery). I went and picked it up and drove it 10 miles. I parked and shut it off. When I came back out to start it about 30 minutes later, this time there was an error about the guidelines on the camera system not working and the same stabilitrak error. So I shut it off and started it back up. It seemed to be functional after restarting it. It was okay for a few days until the major errors happened again this morning. I was trying to pull into a parking spot and it did the same thing with the same errors that I first had. It actually went to a total stop and would not move forward at all. I was thankful that I was in a parking lot and not on the highway my children in the car with me. It was so sudden, that if we had been on the highway, I am sure I would have been in an accident. I turned it off and back on and the same thing happened again with the same errors. So I turned it off again and let it sit for a minute and turned it back on. The errors were gone but the service light was on. It seemed functional again. There are tons of similar situations reported online. The dealership is supposed to check it again.
On more that one occasion but most recently on 03/16/2018 I have driving my vehicle and I get the first message of, "service stabilitract". the next message is, "traction control off". it is then following by, "engine power is reduced" and my check engine light comes on. The vehicle then decelerates to 10-20 mph. This has occurred to me twice while on the highway travelling in excess of 60 mph.(not while accelerating). This has occurred while accelerating from 0 mph, 30+ mph, 60+ pmh and decelerating from 60+mph, 30+mph and from 0 to 30 mph. It has occurred while turning a corner, driving in a straight line. The dealership said to bring the vehicle in after an incident without turning off the vehicle. I have not been able to drive the vehicle without ever having to stop and turn off the vehicle. The power steering is almost non-existent after reduced engine power occurs. It feels like it is running on three of the six cylinders and has almost caused me to have an accident. I almost hit a school bus once. The vehicle is at the dealership again for it's second week of diagnostics.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. While driving approximately 55 mph, the check engine and ESC warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle lost acceleration. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. After waiting approximately 30 minutes, the vehicle was restarted and operated normally. The vehicle started to lose acceleration again and was driven to the contact's residence. The next day, the contact drove the vehicle to apple Chevrolet in tinley park, Illinois where it was diagnosed that the throttle pedal accelerator sensor failed and needed replacement. The contact stated that the same failure occurred in February of 2017 and the vehicle was repaired by the same dealer at that time. The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.
While driving the reduce engine speed, traction control, stabili-trac, and the check engine light flashes. The engine speed was reduced to a crawl. This has happened three times now and the speed doesn't seem to make a difference 30mph - 65mph. While we have been able to turn the car off and get it to drive home after 5 mins, it is dangerous because it happens while driving at higher speeds in the middle of traffic.
While driving down an exit ramp on a highway, suddenly a warning light chimed and the service stabil-trak/service traction control/reduced engine power messages come up. The car starts to reduce speed until it gets to 10-15 mph. It also starts running and idling really rough. I was able to limp along to a parking lot. When this happens, the car will not drive anywhere. It has to be towed. Then somehow when it has been turned off for a while, it suddenl runs fine and the problem can't be duplicated. Just got it back from the dealer after having for a week. The car only has about 36,000 miles on it. This is the 5th time this has happened.
While driving at 55 +mph, the car suddenly dings and service stabil trak, reduced engine power, service traction control suddenly come on. Car drives perfectly fine before. The car suddenly shakes and idles really rough. The car shakes while idling and all heat is lost. The inside windows of the car become impossible to see out of due to foggy windows. This is the 4th time in about a month that this has happened with this car. The first time, an ignition relay was fixed. Three days later after getting the car back, the car did it again. The second time, a crankshaft sensor was replaced. The third time was again about 2-3 days after getting it back from being repaired. The third time, the battery was replaced as well as a remote starter removed. Some wiring was repaired. The car suddenly lost power in the afternoon for the 4th time. This has happened at different times of the day. The car is unable to drive and has to be towed to repair show/dealership for repair.
I bought this car used with 39,400 miles on it 4 mths ago. While pressing on the brake it makes a very loud and annoying sqeaking sound. I returned it to the dealership to be looked at and they stated it is in fact the master cylinder affecting the brake, and it is a known Chevy Traverse problem that should be recalled.
