Description of the problem | Was driving my chevy traverse at around 45mph when suddenly received vehicle notifications stating "service traction control service stabilitrac and reduced engine power." immediately i was at a loss of engine power and was suddenly reduced to 15mph nearly being rear-ended. I had to vear off the road, shut the vehicle down, and then restart it only to make it another mile up the road before the symptoms occurred again. I was forced to repeat these steps 5 more times before making it to my destination. Upon investigation of this mechanical issue i've learned of hundreds of other consumers experiencing the same exact symptoms with not one providing a repair solution. Many have paid upwards of $500-$1000 in repair costs and are still experiencing the same problems. I have driven my vehicle twice since the first occurrence and each time experience the same symptoms. Am i to pay for dealer repair when it seems there is no proper solution? I now have a $20000 vehicle that i don't feel safe putting my family in, which is ironically why i purchased it in the first place. I suppose i am forced to have it serviced at my local dealer but am certainly not optimistic about the results. This vehicle is a death trap! Recall this very dangerous problem before someone is seriously injured or killed. |
