22Sept2016 2014 Chevy Traverse Engine, Traction Control, Stabilitrak Glitch

www-odi.nhtsa.... Please go to this link and report your problem to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Send them the link to this video if you have to and ask that they read the comments themselves. This should be a recall, it is happening in many different models of cars over many model years. Someone said their 2017 is doing it too, 2017??!! That's a brand new car with the same glitch that has been happening for almost five years!
Our car is about two years old with 35,000 miles. Two months ago the check engine light came on along with the traction control light, the engine began running rough and a "Reduced Engine Power" message appeared on the dash. The car struggled to go 20 or 30 miles per hour, was running rough, and hunting around for the right gear. When still it idled very rough as if multiple cylinders were misfiring.
We brought it to a dealer and they said there weren't any error codes so there wasn't anything to fix. We didn't know any better so we took it home. We learned via google it's a common glitch and that after sitting for ten to twenty minutes the car's computer clears the error codes, the car runs fine and there's nothing to diagnose or fix....until it happens again. It has happened two more times to us and both times the car did the same thing but cleared itself after sitting for a while.
The car is used mostly by my wife to transport our two kids around so this is something that absolutely has to be fixed. It is unacceptable that there is a chance the car will be reduced to 20 or 30 mph on Rt 78 in NJ where traffic regularly moves at 70 to 80 mph.
We leased this car new from Rossi Chevrolet in July, 2014 and we're now counting on them to get it fixed once and for all.
If this happens to you, find a safe place to park the car and just let it sit for ten to twenty minutes, the problems will clear and you'll be able to drive again. Once it happens though it seems to come back with less and less time between each occurrence.

Having the exact same problem! Just got my 2014 Traverse back in December. It only had 43,000 miles on it. Two weeks after I got it, it started doing this. Just took it to the dealership and they’re saying nothing is wrong with it. There should definitely be a recall on these. I need my money back or a new car or truck or something.

[@jorgeleal786]

They scam me too and my car is not working I spend more then $1000.00 I want my money too .

[@leroyswat7042]

My 2014 traverse literally just did this! So I googled it and found this video.. it has happened 10 times since i bought the car from a dealership 1 month ago.. if you turn your Tc off it doesnt happen.. yes there should be a major recall!! I'm saving this video.

[@TimelessKreations]

Please report this issue to GMC as this will help with advising them that there are many more of their traverses that are having this issue.

[@jessiewhite7783]

This sounds stupid, but this issue was fully resolved with simply adding washers to the two bolts on your fuse box. You have to cut a washer in half, because those bolts dont come all the way out. Just trust me. I chased this issue for two years, i cleaned the throttle body, i replaced the throttle body, replaced the ignition switch, did all kinds of other random crap and im 6 months free of this problem after i simply added the washers to the fuse box bolts. It was happening every time i left in the traverse and now it doesnt happen at all. If you want a further explanation of why this fixes it, and why this is happening ill gladly give it

[@dancurrier6421]

hello any help would be appreciated ty on my 2016 Chevy Traverse Lt AWD I replaced the right front strut on the passenger side and now I have service traction control and stability lights on my dashboard I need some help figuring this out

[@imaginationman]

Same problem with my 2016 traverse. Only 74,000 miles on it. Just bought it two months ago and this problem is persistent and intermittent. There was one KZbin video where the guy cleaned out the throttlebody and I tried it and it seems to have improved. i however the problem still kicks in especially when it’s cold outside.

[@dremckinney7877]

its your throttle body. i have a 2011 and it did the same. i replaced it myself and no more problems afterwards. its an easy fix.

[@tiffanyyoung9192]

[@michaelsanfilippo3169]

Then it's not the same issue. If you have traction control and abs light on it could be a bad bearing/sensor.

[@dancurrier6421]

my 2016 Chevy Traverse Lt AWD should have not have to change out my throttle body it's brand new. Mine didn't come on until after I changed the right front strut on the passenger side now I can just barely go 40 mph with it

[@richardcleary2737]

I recently added a comment about my car having the same issues. I took a shot in the dark on figuring out how to fix it. I remove the old throttle body with the sensor. I ordered a new one that was a AC Delco. I put the new throttle body on that has the sensor attached to it from the factory. After I put it on attached everything back started my car and I had no problems. So try replacing the throttle body with a sensor on it. and please spread the word

[@danielziegler9111]

Had the same problem. Took it to the dealership and they found it to be a brake pedal sensor, causing it. I’m sure everybody’s situation is unique but that was mine. They also said that a cracked tail light lens and moisture going into the bulbs. Could have triggered that issue they were not sure.

[@danielziegler9111]

Also, my check engine light did not go on. So when they ran a diagnostic, it showed nothing. I had to bring it in when it was actually doing it.

[@alonsosmobileautorepair8862]

I just fixed this issue make sure the throttle sensor is connected correctly. The clip almost always never keeps it connected. You need to make sure you can’t pull off the pig tail without releasing the clip. Which is why many people fix this issue for only a small amount of time. That remove the throttle along with the sensor but it doesn’t connect as it should.

[@ccccen]

You have had no more problems????????????????????

[@Therandomchannel19]

I had to take out the LiDAR sensors out of my rear bumper due to them catching fire whist driving down the park’s highway in alaska. And to make it worse is the delarship won’t fix the issue. And another issue I had is it won’t go into AWD at all it’s now only rwd. Or Fwd. not awd. And no clue on how to fix. Another issue is over heating. I just reached 93k miles and replacing the radiator fluid and oil spark plug’s transmission fluid diff fluid the breaks and rotors and etc- and it’s still gets hot but stops fast… it took removing a fuse or 3 for the issues to resolve now it’s staying mostly cool and no major issues. It’s a 2016 traverse LTZ Awd model if you were wondering. Has had the transmission blow up twice and surprisingly on the oregenal engine.

[@terrykelly744]

Had the exact same issue a few days ago. Checked the Throttle body and it looked clean so I was forced to take it to the local Chevy dealer and they diagnosed it as the Fuel pump was bad...Paid $950 for the repair but I have to say I'm not happy about it. I just do not know how a 2013 Traverse with under 47000 mile on it has a bad Fuel Pump and also why it is linked to the Stabilitrak in the ECM...It is crazy. Whoever thought to link this Fuel Pump fault with a "engine reduced power" error in the ECM is nuts and needs to be fired. I am currently talking with GM to see if they have any suggestions or money back options.

[@dropdmurphy5689]

Wait until you need a new alternator and they tell you its 1400$. Part alone is over $900, another part that is wired to the ECM. And if you buy one at autozone, which I did and install it, it doesn't solve the problem. I hate these POS

[@barchiola]

We brought the car to Rossi Chevrolet in NJ (the dealership that leased it to us) and they kept it for almost two weeks and drove it 200 miles to make it display the fault again. They finally saw it happen and though I don't think they really knew exactly how or why it was happening they diagnosed it as a glitch in the main vehicle computer and so changed it out with a new one. We've had the car back for a few months and it's been good so far. Sorry to hear some of you are having the same problem, hopefully this will help. If nothing else, send a link for this video to your dealer/shop if you're having trouble explaining what you're experiencing. Also, if you get yours fixed and they do something else please list the repair here so others can see another possible solution as I suspect the main computer module glitch isn't the only source of this fault.

[@Streetlocksmith]

I have the same issue and I replaced my throttle body over a year ago and still same issue. But it doesn’t give me reduced power loss it just has the engine light on and it says traction control off. But driving normal. It’s been saying this for about a year and half now. I did have some jerking with the transmission that started a year ago so far it’s happened 4 times. Now once a year ago my transmission got stuck in neutral when I put it in drive it wouldn’t go forward when I pressed the gas pedal while in drive. So I put it in park and shut it off, I started it again and turned it off, and then started it again the third time and put it in drive and no problem with it since and that was about 53,000 miles ago that happened at about 190,000 miles when it got stuck. I’ve noticed slipping of maybe 3rd gear in transmission since at about 70-80,000 miles. It’s went from barely noticeable to very noticeable. Now with my car at 248,000 miles it has no quick acceleration from stopping to pressing all the way down on the pedal, I can only accelerate quickly if I’m at about 15-20 miles per hour. The acceleration problem started most recently at 238,000 miles. I just recently replaced the power steering pump and rack and pinion for $900.00 in beltsville Maryland and another shop told me 2,480.00 that was laughable. When you start hearing that whining when turning immediately replace the power steering pump or the whole system. Since I replaced mine I haven’t had any issues. Also my engine is still fantastic I’ve been doing full synthetic oil changes every other month since I drive a lot I’ve had the car for four years and have put 218,000 miles on it in the four years. And only had these issues and replaced the air compressor once. Mine is a 2011 Traverse. Total money I’ve spent on this car was $2,635 in four years on repairs which seems about average. This doesn’t include oil changes or breaks or break pads and tires and tow truck service. Which is normal separate costs. People do complain about vehicles but they all have issues no matter what you buy. And sometimes you get lucky to not have too many problems. I plan on replacing the transmission for a new one from jasper transmissions. And keeping the car for another 4 years. It will be cheaper to replace everything than buying another new car. I think I’ve easily got my money’s worth out of it. I think the transmission will go out in about 3-6 months from now.

2016 Traverse with 51K miles having the same issue. It ended up having a few error code readouts during a diagnostic check. The main issue seems to be error code P2138 which is an accelerator pedal sensor (as mentioned in previous comments). I had it replaced/fixed today and hopefully should resolve the issue.

[@aletr2elis]

My 2016 is having the same problem, and has off and on most of the time I have had it. The dealership told me originally that it was because I had replaced one of the tires and not all of them (I had a flat, the rest were nearly new). Now when it comes on, I usually don't have the loss of power, just the annoying dings. Lately, it has had a few brake slips like it did in the beginning, but doesn't lose power. I'm hesitant to take it back to the dealership because no one seems to be getting it fully resolved or getting the same answer. I am now out of warranty (68,000) miles.

[@ccccen]

When you replace a tire, these suv has sensors inside the rim. You have a to read your manual where it will tell you how to fix that. In my truck I have to turn the ignition forward although not on 3 times and I have so many seconds to deflate the tire and the horn will blow and then so many seconds for the next tire until the horn and so on for all four, your computer will go into the same amount of air on all tires. Afterwards you can add air to recommended amount. After that on the road if one has less air it will tell you which tire. The brakes slipping can be from your brake sensor being clogged up, they're are located on the drums,

[@kcsweetpify]

I have a 2016 Traverse and they're saying it's the accelerator pedal sensor. Clearly, after watching this video and reading all of the comments, Chevy should look into this. It's dangerous to have your car lose speed in the middle of lunch hour traffic. I'm going to file a complaint with the Dept of Transporting as mentioned in a previous comment.

Today is 4/20/20. I have the same problem. On the 17th, i drove my 2014 chevrolet traverse from work, suddenly the Stabilitrak light was on, then the alarm said traction control off. It smells gas, and white smoke. I could hardly drive the car. We never had any problem with it before. We went to a friend's autoshop, and said he cannot fixed it, we need to bring it to the chevrolet service. Since it's COVID 19, were not allowed to enter the chevrolet office to check our vehicle. The service man said, they need to open the engine to check it, or maybe the piston is broken..they are not yet sure what caused the problem. They gave us a quote that we need $5000 to open the engine, and $1500 needed as a downpayment. Or the other option is buy a new engine for $7000 which may be higher. Were thinking its better to sell it, then we have it appraised. Guess what? were so shocked that our car cost $1000. We bought it brand new on 2014. Were decided to bring it home for now and ask for any advice/suggestions..

[@barchiola]

Rochelle, I don't think the problem is your engine. It seems to be a problem with the main computer. When the main computer senses a fault from somewhere in the car, it causes a glitch that makes the computer get all stupid and the Stabilitrak problem and everything else all come out at once. Then you shut it off and it goes away like it never happened. Codes aren't stored in the computer, the fault is cleared and the service people can't even find it in the car's memory. Where are you located?

[@TheJb26]

Alex Chavez I just replaced my a few weeks ago and it eased it a bit. But it looks like now I have to replace ignition coils.

[@fastockton1975]

Mine 2010 Chevy Traverse has been doing this every since it's gotten colder. I changed the brake pedal switch, i cleaned out the throttle body, I've change spark plugs (but not the wires). When it does happen I'm usually going 65+ miles an hour. I have to pull off, wait 2-10 minutes, start it, go into low, shift threw 3 gears and then it tricks itself to "reset" itself. But it does it every 100 mile or so...I'm about to set fire to it. .I'm so irritated. Having the transmission looked at Monday 2/24/2020 to see what my friend says with the diagnosis. Thanks

[@831klanforc]

Try changing your engine ecm $145 on line that will fix it

[@831klanforc]

If u got something else done and it works let me know

[@smbroerman]

I have the same issue with my 2013 traverse. What’s fixed it for everyone? The mechanic said it was the fuel pump but now I still have an engine light on.

Having the same issue on my 2017 Traverse. I guess it should have been a red flag that a 2017 vehicle was being sold with only 15K miles.

[@alejandraruiz7242]

Mee too!!??? How did you fix it? I already took my traverse to the dealer. But nothing . everything it's s right...

[@funawesomefamily]

@@alejandraruiz7242 I told my dealer about it then I got lucky that it was happening one day when I was fairly close so I drove there and made sure to leave it running while they took a look at it. I believe they replaced a fuse or sensor and it was covered by warranty.

[@alejandraruiz7242]

@@funawesomefamily I'm hoping they find the issue, this will be the 3rd time in the dealer for service, thanks!!!!

[@reinaldomota743]

I have the same problem and they have already changed the throttle body, the spark plugs, the coils and the censor map and it continues the same if anyone knows please help me thank you

[@nicoleleiara4398]

Had the same problem took it to Chevy dealer it was the accelerator pedal sensor

[@cliftonw1365]

My dies it pretty frequently before I could use a obd2 reader and delete the code and it would go back to normal. Today it would not work. And engine would not start. So it's progressive and getting worse. Any fixes yet? Oh and my somehow is not on their super limit recall list.

[@billypick42]

Did the brake pedal start to get hard to press down on also?

[@mrs.beavensclass6281]

Yes, my break pedal does that

[@pedrosuarez6312]

Tomy boss happened the same problem change the transmission,throttel body , computer and still the same thing happening. She loads in her glove box a ratchet to disconnect the battery every time she suspends her computer and the problem disappears for some months

[@barchiola]

This appears to be a computer software glitch that is triggered by a wide variety of failures or partial failures in other areas of the car. If you read the comments there are a lot of different failures being blamed for triggering this glitch where the car basically stops working.

[@khalidkaddoura8668]

the injectors needs to be serviced / changed. the same thing happened with my Traverse 2014 ltz. they tried several solutions but the same problem repeated again and again until they changed the injectors.

[@carolyn3327]

khalid kaddoura has this happened since you got that done?

[@khalidkaddoura8668]

carolyn3327 hi...it didnt happen again at all... btw..at first they changed 2 injectors...but it didnt work ... until changing all the injectors... btw ..after changing injectors make sure to use one type of petrol consistently .. GM recommended 95 octane..

Sounds like accelerator pedal position sensor (Code P2138)

[@danielortiz2114]

I have the same problem on a 2011 Ltz. the dealer tells me the same thing I just dropped my car of today for about the 12th time in the last 4 months. I went ape shit on the manager so now thay are putting a new throttle body for the second time. So frustrating. my car seams to do it only when it rains!

[@NicoleLola2]

Mine is doing the same thing. IT IS DANGEROUS!!!

Try to replace a throttle body spark plugs and spark plug coils that should work I just did mine on a 2014 traverse

[@johnberry9415]

Check speed sensor.... Maybe you can faund something...

[@gabrielromero7385]

Primero hay que hacer el thermostat y despues verifique que los cables del sensor de temperature funcionan bien y cambie el sensor de temperature

[@jessisox6028]

These cars continue to do this and yet the Chevrolet people do nothing. They do not care for the safety of their drivers.

[@wolfech1]

How can Chevy see this happen to its customers and NOT have a recall. Enjoy your bottom line, you won’t get my business again!

[@mojowatham1328]

Is a 15amp fuse for engine control.

[@adnanmajed2201]

Are you sure ? Did it happen to you before ?

[@stevesullivan6494]

Clean the throttle body, then disconnect the negative side of the battery for about two minutes.

[@cantu4green24]

Did this and a few weeks later it happened again ☹️

[@stickchickels]

This has just happened to me twice on my 2014 Traverse. Dealer can't figure out what the problem is. They want to replace to Fuse Block for $550 … but that's only a guess!

[@831klanforc]

Try putting a new throttle body spark plugs and spark plug coils that fixed mine 2014 Chevy traverse

[@gabelemon2041]

2016 Traverse GM Part Number is 13597425 Stop-Light switch causes intermittent problems with stabilitrack/ Traction Control. Big pain in the Ass because does not show a trouble code unless you scan with a High Dollar Scanner and while issue is happening... Code is not Data Logged . Forget all the Unplug battery cable, clean throttle body bullshit. They think its fixed because its an intermittent issue. This fixed for me on e and till the next time switch fucks up

[@bryantolbert199]

Hey i just got my 2014 chevy traverse and experienced this today. Was you able to get it fixed??

[@barchiola]

Ours was fixed supposedly by replacing a computer module. Others have fixed it by replacing different sensors. It seems more like it's a software glitch that can be triggered by a variety of different sensor or module faults. Be prepared to take it to a dealer if/when it happens again and don't shut off the car when you get there or it will dump the fault codes. Also, please use the link below to report the issue to the Department of Transportation

You can also send them a link to this video so they can see what you're talking about.

[@freddypalma3882]

What was wrong

[@illusionaudioinc2737]

Its not the computer its the throttle body all you need to do is clean it super simple just a few screws less than 30 min

[@jabbaraltaee5958]

where is located

[@dyanndemello3510]

I have a 2014 traverse and the same thing has happened to me for to months now a total of 4 times I had a mechanic friend scan it and it was a code for a throttle body, took it where I bought it they couldn't do anything because the engine light shut off so there scan couldn't pick up anything after the third time we just cleaned the throttle body it was pretty dirty. Well 2 weeks later it went into limp mode ago so idk what the problem is. As we speak I'm at a chevy dealer now but yet again the engine light shut off again it only stays on for a day. So we will see what happens.

It just needs a new throttle body that’s all no big deal. Not sure, but I think Chevrolet has a “special warranty” for replacement with a new throttle body.
