The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate as the accelerator pedal sank to the floor board. The contact mentioned that there was a sudden increased in engine rpms and the vehicle failed to move. The vehicle was merged to the side of road and turned off. The vehicle was restarted but the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.
I was driving about 35-45 mph increasing speed and the engine on the car started to die, gauges all flashed and warning lights went on all over dash. The gauges all crashed to zero, as it was dying due to running out of gas but at the time it was between 1/2 a tank and 1/4 of a tank. Gave it some gas and it reengaged. Second not on a 2015 new one, I have been driving for a rental, 356 miles, driving at 75 mph and engine completely turned off, I had to make my way coasting to the side of the road without power steering or anything turn the key off and restarted the engine and it reengaged. But this is two of the similar issue on two different Traverses that don't currently have the recalls officially on them, . they are unsafe yet I have to continue to drive around with my family and children in the car and hope it doesn't occur or cause us to have an accident.
While pulling into a parking spot, I applied the brake and came to a complete stop. Put the vehicle into park and then removed my foot from the brake pedal, as soon as I did this the car began to move forward, I reapplied pressure to the brake and then slowly let it back off again after verifying that it was in the park position (which it was). The car continued to move forward driving over the cement curb stop and straight towards the glass wall of the business I had pulled into, and so I immediately applied the parking brake and removed the keys from the car. I then tried to restart the car but it would not turn on, only the engine light would come on, the brake pedal at this point was seized and I couldn't press it down, nor was I able to move the car out of the park position. After calling a tow driver he checked the transmission linkage and we were able to get the car started again however now the car is running, in the park position but the reverse camera is on and when I tapped the gas it began to back up. The car has now been towed to my local Chevy dealership who are investigating but they claim there is no recall's or notifications for a 2014 automatic Traverse (which there is!!). I just bought this car last month (Aug) and I see the notice was issued in Feb.
Driving normally at 55 mph. Car slowed to 35 mph and engine light came on, and dash read stabilitrac service needed engine power slowed. I could not go over 35 mph on freeway and very difficult to brake.
While driving on a major highway, my new 2014 Chevy Traverse lost all engine power. This is the 2nd time this has happened in several months. My vehicle lost power, lights went off and I nearly escaped a car accident while steering without any engine power! there was no warning- no lights warned us, no sounds, no sputtering- just lost engine power. I nearly was killed and avoided an accident on the highway. Several lights went off: "trak control off, check stab trak." GM has another vehicle on their hands that must be recalled. I do not want to put my young children back in this vehicle. It will kill someone. This is the 2nd event with this "computer glitch." Several months ago, as I drove the car off the lot - the lights went off and GM dealer said it was a computer glitch. To drive a new car, and without any warnings - no warnings when the engine completely shut down is a danger to the public. This is unacceptable. I don't want a new computer part. I won't drive this vehicle, it will kill someone.
