Chevrolet Traverse Engine Safety Report | Jan 03, 2014
Reported on Jan 03, 2014
| MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING, TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT TURNS ON FOLLOWED BY SERVICE STABILIZATION SYSTEM AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED TO 10 %. THIS HAPPENED WHILE GOING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME, I SUDDENLY WENT DOWN TO 20MPH AND HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY THE TRUCK AS IT PASSED ME. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT MULTIPLE TRAVERSE OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. WHEN WILL THIS BE A RECALL? ONLY AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT! DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT A COST OF NEARLY $500, A 3 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES, GM SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THE FIX! | |
