“When I drive car wheels, transmission and power train freeze up for approximately 30 seconds to a minute intermittently while I drive. This is happening with more frequency while I drive. It happens whether I am driving 5 MPH or 65 MPH.”
NHTSA complaint #11006658, filed 2017-07, 3 miles“Purchased the vehicle in jan/2017 certified pre-owned. After about 2-3 months I would notice a lack of power when trying to accelerate. It seemed as though the vehice was trying to keep up on a 25mph street. The vehicle would also jerk when accelerating. And just today I got a flashing check engine light and a warning that the traction control was off, has a loss of engine power, and after about 30 seconds the warnings went away and the car began to gain acceleration.”
NHTSA complaint #11002060, filed 2017-06, 45,000 miles“I received an alert that some 2014 Chevrolet traverses had a recall that required a computer update; however, researching my VIN # shows no recall. I have experienced several electrical type issues that was explained to me that the computer system is losing contact with several modulators. So far it has been my power train modulator, fuel pump modulator and my on-star modulator. I strongly feel like this is a manufacture defect and that a recall should be issued to correct the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11121821, filed 2018-08, 98,000 miles“Multiple times the car has just lost power. The dash goes crazy with lights and warnings. Chevy tells me there is nothing they can do because there isn't a code and they can't replicate the problem. Twice I have been driving and this has happened and once when I pulled into a parking spot. Now it does shift really. It revs the rpms, jerks, sputters, and puts while trying to turn or accelerate. Its so scary because its the only vehicle we have to fit us and our newborn. I hate chevy refuses to acknowledge an issue”
NHTSA complaint #11290933, filed 2019-12, 60,000 miles“My vehicle only has 45,000 miles. The past few months, I have been experiencing problems with the motor as it suddenly loses potency as the vehicle is in motion. The check engine light is always on. When the motor loses potency, it puts track control on and track control off right away, as well as a sign to service stabilitrack . I have taken the car to the mechanic and they did a computerized scan where it shows there are problems with the oxygen sensor, low air entrance, problems with the injectors, low voltage problem, brake system off, etc. …”
