2015 Chevrolet Traverse

VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DECELERATE, WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND NOTIFICATIONS THAT TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, AND STABILITRAK IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WHILE DRIVING (STRAIGHT ON 25MPH ROAD) ONCE-MOST RECENT- WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER FIRST TIME, HAD VEHICLE SERVICED AND HAD A PURGE VALVE REPLACED PER COMPUTER ERROR CODE. VEHICLE IS AWAITING SERVICE AGAIN. TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE, SHUT OFF IS REQUIRED (TWO TIMES) BUT ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. WEATHER WAS FAIR BOTH DAYS-OVERCAST, BUT ROADS WERE DRY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A VERY WET SUMMER, PREVIOUSLY A WINTER WITH A LOT OF SALT AND ANTI-SKID TREATMENTS. VEHICLE DOES NOT TRAVEL MUCH OTHER THAN TO MY CHILD'S SCHOOL AND BASIC ERRANDS. ONLY IN MY POSSESSION 2 YEARS AS OF JULY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (LEMOND'S CHEVROLET BUICK & CADILLAC, 412 E MAIN ST, FAIRFIELD IL 62837, 618-842-2147) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP, LOCK UP AND SHUTS DOWN, ALL POWER IS LOCKED. VERY SCARY AND NOT SAFE. ONCE IT STOPS IT WILL RESTART AFTER AWHILE. UNABLE TO TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF MY LIFE OR OTHERS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS PASSENGERS & DRIVER NEED TO PUSH IT TO A SAFE SPOT IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 11/1/18*JB

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR STARTED TO STUTTER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE STABILIZER NEEDS FIXED, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. CAR STOPPED WENT INTO LIMP MODE. GLAD I WASN'T IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. WE WERE IN A CITY STREET. MY CAR HAS 48717 MILES ON IT

WHILE DRIVING, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND. CERTAIN SERVICE SIGNS ALSO APPEAR AND THEY ARE 'SERVICE STABILITRAK,' SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,' 'TRACTION CONTROL OFF,' AND 'PARK ASSIST OFF.' THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A FAIRLY BUSY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND HAD TO PHYSICALLY NOTIFY THE DRIVER COMING TOWARDS ME TO STOP. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN T-BONED! THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE APPEARED, THEY CLEARED IT AND TEST DROVE IT AND IT WAS FINE. HOWEVER, A MONTH LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN. HUGE LIABILITY HERE! DURING BOTH INCIDENTS, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD.
