Chevrolet Traverse Electronic Stability Control Safety Report | Feb 07, 2014
Reported on Feb 07, 2014
| I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MPH, AND HIT A SMALL BUMP WHERE A BRIDGE ENDS AND THE PAVEMENT RESUMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS SERVICE STABILTRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER INDICATORS. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, BUT AT A VERY REDUCED SPEED. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR TO BE FAULTY, AND AFTER REPLACING THAT ITEM THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR COST WAS $540. I AM TOLD THAT THESE ARE A COMMON PROBLEM BOTH BY THE DEALER AS WELL AS BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP. I AM SURPRISED THAT: 1. A PART SUCH AS THIS IS FAILING IN A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES 2. THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY. | |
