Description of the problem | The first time i was in a restaurant drive thru but sitting idle. Then several codes flashed on my dash about traction control and stabilitrak and limp mode and it started to stink. We towed it to our mechanic and he could not tell what code was causing the issue so he cleared the codes and it ran fine after that. After a couple additional trips to the mechanic, we did have a couple issues seemingly related and he ended up replacing a coil and all the spark plugs. Now, a few months later, my wife was driving up the road to our house and just before turning into our driveway, the same error messages came up on the dash. She turned off the car and called me. When i got home i started the car and got the same results. We had the car towed to our mechanic again. This time when the tow truck arrived, the car did not start. After it arrived at our mechanic, he could not start it, and he could only read one code and it said nondefining code and he could not determine what the problem is. He then cleared the code and it is running fine again. I am very concerned this is going to happen on the highway with my wife driving and she will be seriously hurt. I have read many other complaints of this same issue and cannot believe a recall has not happened. Just look at this: https://forums. Edmunds. Com/discussion/14979/chevrolet/traverse/chevy-traverse-stabilitrak-traction-control-problems/. I am not seriously considering trading it in for a non chevy vehicle. |
