Transmission shudders at 30-50 mph. slipping and shaking violently
While driving, the interior lights shut off and my vehicle suddenly loses power. no matter how hard i press on the gas, the vehicle does not respond. certain service signs also appear and they are 'service stabilitrak,' service traction control,' 'traction control off,' and 'park assist off.' this is dangerous as i was driving through a fairly busy street when this happened and had to physically notify the driver coming towards me to stop. otherwise, i would have gotten t-boned! this happened twice. the first time it happened, the diagnostic code appeared, they cleared it and test drove it and it was fine. however, a month later, it did it again. huge liability here! during both incidents, i was driving the vehicle, going straight ahead.
Turning car to right and felt car steering seize at 48,000 miles took to dealership they told me rack and pinion $2900 part that should not occur on car this age.
Car engine says check engine turn off oil pressure is low. it also reads sensor p011. while driving on the freeway. look like chevy engines are not built to last poor engine. 2011 chevy tahoe have the exact same thing... lots of mechanic don't want to mess with these engines because it's designs are bad and needs to be recalled. bad make with chevy company period...

Driving my 2015 chevrolet traverse on an expressway at 65 to 70 mph when suddenly the vehicle started to slow down even when pressing on the accelerator. the speed continued decreasing when we noticed that the radio had also shut down. fortunately we were able to make our way to the breakdown lane without any mishap. that's when we notice the engine was also completely shut down. we were fortunate that we were able to pull over without causing an accident. we called the dealership and explained the problem and was puzzled that they were not too concerned about the problem. my wife is not concerned about the safety of this vehicle. i have noticed that complaints have been reporting a similar problem. my vehicle is currently at the dealership and they provided me with a loaner in the meantime. i was told that most likely they will not be able to find any problem with the vehicle. this is not much consolation, to us when we will be returning to florida in the near future and wonder whether this problem will occur again when we are on expressways with five to six lanes, all going 70 mph or more and with little room to get out of the way to safety. looking at other similar issues, what is mentioned as the problem could be the switch, the battery or the alternator, or wiring to all these components. i cannot believe that this issue cannot be diagnosed and remedied immediately before someone gets hurt.
The car jerks and surges and the service stabillitrac warning light and traction control warning comes on...current mileage 34368 we were on a city street cruising about 45 mph with no strain on the car. the initial issue started 1 14 16 with 3743 miles. we have been to the dealer, roger dean chevrolet, cape coral fl, five times.. each time roger dean says it is fixed, but it happens again..?? happened again last night. very severe shaking and surging and we've had couples in the car with us when it happens.. . concern is that it will completely stop in traffic or on the many bridges we cross... this makes the car totally unreliable and scary to drive, as well as dangerous..
My wife was driving our 2015 chevrolet traverse 2lt in a construction zone at the speed limit. the vehicle abruptly shook side to side several times, then shut off engine power abruptly and lurched forward and back 5 times hard enough to throw her into the seat belt. about the lurching, she said it was like the car was trying to brake to a stop. she had a whole dashboard full of lights, and she saw a status message in place of the odometer that said something about the traction control turning off. she was in a construction zone without any shoulders, and couldn't immediately get off the road, but the engine power returned, so she took the first freeway exit and was able to stop the car. after she restarted the car, it seemed to be normal, so she drove it to the dealership for repair. the dealership said that it is working properly now, so they can't do anything.
When making a sharp left turn in a parking lot the car started to roll backwards down a slope. it was discovered that the engine was no longer running. placed foot on brake to stop vehicle from rolling back wards and put transmission into park. put transmission back into drive and found that car was dead. put into park turned key to off waited a second and turned key to start engine and it restarted. *tr
