Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving on highway, started up hill at 55 mph in traffic. Following alarms came on: traction control dashboard symbol; stabilitrack off; engine power reduced; traction control disabled. Vehicle immediately slowed to 40 mph and would not go faster. Online forums indicate this is a throttle body or ecu problem, known to gm at least since 2010. It has been handled on an individual basis depending how much the individual customers complain. I regard this as a safety issue since in highway traffic it could lead to a rearend collision at high speed with consequent loss of vehicle control and loss of lives. Believe gm has used search engine optimization to bury the forum discussions on this, but if you search for chevy traverse throttle body defect you can easily find it.
