IN THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR MY CHEVY TRAVERSE HAS LOST POWER ON THE FREEWAY. OUR TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES POWERING DOWN THE ENGINE AND PLACING US, ME & MY FAMILY IN A VERY HARMFUL SITUATION. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR MECHANICS THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED IT AND REPLACED SEVERAL RELAYS. THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM PLACING ME ON THE FREEWAY ONCE AGAIN DOWN IN LAX WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR POWERING DOWN & TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON AND PULLING OVER AND PLACING US IN YET ANOTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE READ THE MOTOR VEHICLE CODE FOR CALIFORNIA TITLE 49 SECTION 301. THIS MALFUNCTION DEFINITELY POSES AN UNREASONABLE RISK TO THE PUBLIC. ALSO, NOTED ON NHTSA, NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WEBSITE NOTES THERE IS A RECALL ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS REPORTED.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THIS HAS HAPPEN FOR YEARS. WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIPS THEY TELL ME ITS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

IT'S HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. DEFINITELY OVER 10. I'M DRIVING MY TRAVERSE, ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN, AND THEN MY CAR GOES CRAZY. BELLS BEGIN TO DING AND DASH LIGHTS COME ON. THE INFO CENTER TELLS ME TO SERVICE STABILTRACK AND THEN I GET A REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING AND I CANNOT GO OVER 25 MPH. I PULL OFF THE ROAD OR OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF MY CAR. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I TURN MY CAR BACK ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. IT'S DONE THIS WITH EVERY DRIVER IN MY FAMILY. I'M ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN LOYAL GMAC CUSTOMERS SINCE BEFORE I WAS BORN AND I WAS PROUD TO KEEP UP THE TRADITION BUT THIS CAR HAS MADE ME LOOK AT OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS. MY 2004 GMC ENVOY IS MORE RELIABLE THAN THIS CAR. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE AND WE ARE CONSIDERING RENTING A CAR FOR A 800 MILE TRIP I NEED TO TAKE NEXT WEEK FOR A FUNERAL. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT GM IS AND HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR QUITE AWHILE AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE THROWN GOOD MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN TO TRY TO FIX IT WITH NO SUCCESS. IT'S TIME FOR GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OR THEY ARE ENDANGER OF LOSING PLENTY OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS. SHAME ON YOU GM FOR PUTTING MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS OVER THE SAFETY AND SATISFACTION OF THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS.

IT HAS BEEN PROBABLY 10 TIMES OR SO THAT MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE STABILITY TRACK ENGINE REDUCE POWER COME ON. I AM USUALLY DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN OUT OF THE BLUE THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE TO TRY AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SO THAT I DO NOT GET RAN OVER AS I HAVE NO POWER TO KEEP GOING. I CAN USUALLY TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN IT WILL START BACK UP BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND 2014 TRAVERSE WERE UNDER RECALL # 14V614000. CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE WAS NOT UNDER THIS RECALL. THE RECALL SHOULD PERTAIN TO ALL 2024 TRAVERSES AS THE RECALL STATES IT IS 2014 MODELS THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I AM STILL PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT WE CANNOT EVEN DRIVE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, BEFORE SOME IS HURT.

WHEN DRIVING OVER 70MPH ON THE EWAY, THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK COMES ON. AFTER DRIVING LIKE THAT FOR A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND REDUCES SPEED! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND ALSO MIDAS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN SEE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING IN THE EWAY WITH MY CHILDREN.

DRIVING AND CAR IS VERY SLOW TO ACCELERATE. STABILLINK WARNING AND ABS LIGHTLY ARE ON. TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT'S THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR, SO I HAVE IT REPLACED, ALONG WITH A CLEANING OF MY THROTTLE BODY. CAR IS CONTINUING TO SLOWLY ACCELORATE, MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH 4 KIDS AGES 11 AND UNDER, IT'S SO FRUSTRATING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND GM IS DOING NOTHING TO RECALL THEM, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS, AS THE VEHICLE TAKES SO MUCH TIME TO ACCELERATE UP TO A NORMAL SPEED.
