“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL OUT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. SOON AFTER, A POWER DOWN WARNING INDICATOR APPEARED AND THE STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.”

“AFTER SOME MAJOR MAINTENANCE WORK SUMMER OF 2018, CAR BEGAN TO SHOW MORE WORK NEEDED. SUMMER OF 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT CITY ROAD, POWER STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN & CONTROL CURVES AND, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PARKED THE CAR UNTIL ABLE TO REPAIR. MECHANIC REPAIRED POWER STEERING MODULE CAR SEEMED OK. AFTER ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & POWER STEERING PROBLEMS AGAIN , NOW ENGINE POWER REDUCED WHILE DRIVING W/STABILITRAK WARNING & BACK UP CAM SOMETIMES WORKS. WHLE DRIVING , HARD TO TURN ON CURVES, CORNERS AND AT APPROPRIATE POSTED SPEEDS BC ENGINE SLOWS ON ITS OWN AND WONT GIVE ENOUGH POWER FOR FLATS OR HILLS. HEATING TAKES MUCH LONGER TO WARM CABIN AND WINDOW BUTTON SOMETIMES WONT WORK.”

“STABILITRAK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS MANY OF THE WINDOWS, ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT AND STABILITRAK COMES ON, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THERE IS LOSS OF POWER THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECOND, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.”

“TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SOME SORT OF ISSUE WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND ALSO TRIGGERS THE BRAKE ALARM AND SAYS SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE AND AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF FOR AWHILE AND RESTARTING IT, THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS AND SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT.”

“WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES PER HOUR, A MESSAGE YES IT SAID TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF SERVICE STABILITRAK. THEN IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED! THE VEHICLE QUICKLY WENT FROM 75MPH DOWN TO 30 WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE! I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE AND THE TRUCK BEHIND ME LOCKED UP HIS BRAKES AND STILL BARELY AVOIDED ME.”
