Description of the problem | Stabilitrak/traction control/reduce engine power. While driving down interstate 75 north in tn on november 28, 2015 at approximately 10:30pm with my husband, 6 year old, and 3 year old; my 2010 chevrolet traverse suddenly dinged and then the flashed the following messages on my display: stabilitrak, traction control, reduce engine power. This resulted in a rapid deceleration from about 75mph to about 25mph. We narrowly avoided being hit by a semi-truck behind us, as the car rapidly slows without brake lights notifying other drivers. Thankfully, the semi was able to quickly swerve into the left lane to avoid hitting us. We pulled over and shut down the engine. When we turned it back on, the warning lights were off and the car ran normally. This is an extremely dangerous situation, which appears to be quite common in numerous gm vehicles. I'm alarmed that nhtsa hasn't required a recall for this issue, which looks to be related to a throttle-body problem. I was able to locate a service alert from gm for this issue, so it appears that they are very aware of the problem. |
