Chevrolet Traverse Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Dec 09, 2013
Reported on Dec 09, 2013
| DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS AN ALERT ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING THAT TRACTION CONTROL OFF THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANOTHER ALERT CAME ON STATING THAT ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED . I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE FULLY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT RESET IT BUT THE SAME ALERTS CAME BACK ON MINUTES LATER. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CHEVY/GM SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RECALLING THIS PART. *TR | |
