What owners wrote

While driving to work early january 18,2016 my check engine light and stability control light came on, not a minute later my steering went out and I hit a road sign. I had turned off the traction control before leaving my house as instructed by my service advisor at the chevy dealership. I believe GM is responsible for the damage to my vehicle. Took my 2011 traverse to the dealership that same day.

Reported at 90,665 miles, January 2016 Crash

While the vehicle is stationary or being driven the traction control turns off, the stabilizer goes out, and the engine power reduces. I was on the highway and I lost power going from 65 MPH down to 25-30 MPH. I had to pull over and shut off the car, waited for 15 minutes and started driving again. I hadn't gone far and all the warnings came up again and power was reduced. While driving in town the same thing happens and I can be going 25 MPH and the power goes down to 10 MPH.
