• 12/31/2014· STEERING

  TOOK VEHICLE IN TO GET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE LOOKED AT (TIMING BELT ISSUE, NOT A RECALL, BUT COVERED BY CHEVY). WHILE THEY HAD THE ENGINE TORE DOWN, THEY INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A FLUID LEAK WITH THE POWER STEERING GEAR AND WAS GOING TO COST $1,400 TO FIX AS IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WAS HARD TO BELIEVE GIVEN THAT THE CAR ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES. CHEVY SUBSEQUENTLY REDUCED THE COST TO $900. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT CHEVY HAD COVERED THE REPAIR COST FOR SOME VINS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE; BUT OUR VIN WAS NOT COVERED. LOOKING AT POSTS ON THE INTERNET; THIS ISSUE CAN LEAD TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE MOVING, VERY CONCERNING AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. FORTUNATELY, THIS ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE SHOP AND NOT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. *JS

• 12/31/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  CHEVY TRAVERSE 2010 WITH 74K MILES. DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY DURING MORNING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING, TRACTION CONTROL OFF WARNING, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING. VEHICLE SUDDENLY REDUCED ENGINE POWER FROM 65MPH TO 25MPH. PULLED VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT DOWN ENGINE. TURNED VEHICLE BACK ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO PAST 25MPH. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. CODES WERE P0221, P0121, AND P2176. REPAIRS DONE AT DEALERSHIP FOR FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. PARTS $270.82, LABOR $322.50, AFTER TAXES TOTAL WAS $614.99, PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT IT HAD OCCURED ON TWO OTHER OCCASSIONS; HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM UNTIL THIS INCIDENT OCCURED GIVING THEM THE CODES FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. AFTER READING POST ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. STRONGLY RECOMMEND A RECALL BE ISSUED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS SINCE REDUCTION OF POWER ENGINE CAN POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A VEHICLE GETTING REAR ENDED /HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. *JS

  SINCE OCTOBER OF 2013 I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY POWER STEERING LOCKING UP OR BECOMING SO TIGHT WHILE TRYING TO TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS THAT I HAVE TO FORCE A TURN. I HAVE TAKE IT TO MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW PUMP AND RACK PINION STEERING, WHICH WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $1300 AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TERRAIN!!!! I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE POWER STEERING MAKING NOISES, IN WHICH CHEVROLET REPLACED THE POWER STEERING IN THE 2012 AND NEWER MODELS AND WHICH RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO COMPLAINTS IN THE 2012 MODELS. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE STEERING WOULD LIKE UP WHILE TURNING IN INTERSECTIONS! *TR

  POWER STEERING AND TIMING CHAIN FAILED IN VEHICLE AT 74K MILES. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED. WHILE IN MOTION ON NOVEMBER 4, 2017, OUR VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER EVENTUALLY SHUTTING OFF. UPON TRYING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WE HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. WE IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE VEHICLE TO A NEAR BY REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP. UPON THEIR EVALUATION IT WAS DETERMINED THE TIMING CHAIN WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS TO INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE, THEY RESPONDED BY HAVING US TO TOW OUR VEHICLE TO DON BROWN CHEVROLET IN SAINT LOUIS MISSOURI. GENERAL MOTORS ASKED US TO AUTHORIZE DON BROWN TO "BREAK DOWN" THE VEHICLE IN WHICH WE AGREED. WE WERE THEN INFORMED BECAUSE OF A COST ANALYSIS BEING PERFORMED BY GENERAL MOTORS AND DON BROWN, A BREAK DOWN OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT NECESSARY AND NOTHING WOULD BE DONE BY THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR THE POWER STEERING OR TIMING CHAIN. IT IS WIDELY REPORTED OLD TIMING CHAINS WERE INSTALLED IN 2009-2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE WHICH HAS LED TO SEVERAL ENGINE FAILURES AND INOPERABLE VEHICLES OF CONSUMERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR GENERAL MOTORS TO HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES WITH TIMING CHAINS THAT STRETCH AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS PLACED A HARDSHIP ON FAMILIES WHEN THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE VERY EXPENSIVE COST OF THESE REPAIRS. WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO FROM A CHEVY DEALER AND TO HAVE IT TO BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT OFFERED ANY RELIEF WITH AN ISSUE KNOWN TO THEM.BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT PURCHASING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD EXCLUDE DEFECTS AS IN THE ONES STATED IN THIS COMPLAINT.

  I was driving at approximately 30mph on a road the traction control/stability track light came on and my car lost almost all power. it went from 30 to about 5mph. thankfully i was on a slower road and close to my house so I was able to get home. If I would have been on a highway I could have been killed. i quick google search showed thousands of other complaints with the same problem, my question is why is nothing being done. are they waiting for a certain number of deaths??

  ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH; VEHICLE WAS SLUGGISH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP, BURLINGTON CHEVROLET, RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THERE WERE SOME FAILED CODES (P0011 AND P008), ALL RELATED TO THE CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAINS. TO REPAIR, IT WOULD COST ABOUT $2,700 SINCE I WAS SIX MONTHS OVER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD COST ME $681 PLUS TAX. I AGREED TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED WHICH ALSO INCLUDED REPLACING THE WATERPUMP WHICH WAS LEAKING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT TIMING CHAIN PROBLEMS ON HAVE OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY ON 2007-2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE, SATURN OUTLOOK, GMC ACADIA, AND BUICK ENCLAVE. ALL OF THESE SUV'S HAVE THE 3.6 LITER V6 ENGINE WITH DUAL OVERHEAD CAMS. WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THESE VEHICLES IS THAT THE TIMING CHAINS ARE STRETCHING WHICH LEADS TO CORRELATION ERRORS WITH THE CAM SENSORS AND ACTUATORS. AFTER 2010, GENERAL MOTORS HAS SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH UPDATED CHAINS AND ECM CALIBRATIONS.

  MY CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON A 300 MILE TRIP, AND THE TROUBLE CODES AT 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS INDICATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD STRETCHED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 81,000 MILES. LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE DID NOT BREAKDOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. PRIOR TO LEARNING ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN 2009 AND SOME 2010 MODELS, I HAD THE CHAIN REPLACED BY A NON GM MECHANIC. SINCE THEN I LEARNED THAT GM HAS REIMBURSED OR EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON SELECT TRAVERSE VEHICLES.

• 12/23/2014· STEERING

  MY 2010 TRAVERSE HAD A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK IN JULY, 2014. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT MY COST OF $800. AFTERWARDS, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY WOULD REIMBURSE FOR ANY REPAIRS. I CONTINUE TO HAVE POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. REPLACEMENT OF THE PUMP WAS ONLY A PARTIAL FIX. THIS HAS CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE. TODAY I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING GEAR NEEDS REPLACING AT MY COST OF $1,200. BASED ON GM'S CONFESSION THAT THERE ARE KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED POWER STEERING ISSUES, ALL PARTS OF MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM SHOULD BE PAID FOR AND REPAIRED BY GM. *TR

DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2009 WHERE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUED FOR VEHICLES HAVING FAULTY TIMING CHAINS BUT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS SOLD AS A 2010 I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY.

• 12/20/2014· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, SUDDENLY SEVERAL DINGS GO OFF AND A SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT GO OFF, WITH LIGHTS NOTING THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS OFF AND THAT THE STABILITRACK IS OFF. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT, THEN A SLOW REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER TO WHERE I COULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH, UNTIL I PULLED OVER AND REPEATEDLY TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR+ BUT BY THE TIME I MADE IT BACK HOME THE ISSUE WAS FINE. UNTIL THE PAST 2 WEEKS. IT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY, INCLUDING TODAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD ( I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK). TODAY IT HAPPEN A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO MY MECHANIC SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND THEY CHECKED THE SENSORS, CLEANED THEM AND THOUGHT WE COULD SEE IF THAT WOULD WORK. IT DID NOT, HE SAID THE NEXT STEP IS A PRICEY REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY. I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST OF RECALL ITEMS FOR THE 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD 2 THIS YEAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE, I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE HIT BY THE SUDDEN DECREASE IN ENGINE POWER, EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE WITH THE TRAVERSE AND I AM WONDERING WHY THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ITEMS, AS THE SEAT BELT ISSUE WAS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY DEATHS FROM THIS ISSUE, BUT HONESTLY IF THERE HASN'T BEEN IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT SUDDEN LOSES POWER ON I-80, WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, WITH MANY SEMI TRUCKS, AND YOUR VEHICLE SPEED DROPS DOWN TO 35 MPH AND YOU NEED TO PULL OVER IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO GETTING A DIFFERENT SUV, THAT I CAN DRIVE MYSELF AND MY FAMILY SAFELY IN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. THANK YOU. *DT

  I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WHICH HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING COMPONENTS. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THE CHEAP PART, THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT DOES NOT COVER THE EXPENSIVE PART OF THE DEFECT WHICH IS THE RACK AND PINION/STEERING GEAR. WHY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE IF PEOPLE CRASH AND THEY MAKE MORE MONEY WITH THE STEERING GEAR IN REPAIR WORK. IF YOU OWN A TRAVERSE AND HEAR THE WHINING NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL DON'T LET THE DEALER TELL YOU ITS NO BIG DEAL. MAKE THEM CHANGE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE RACK AND PINION BEFORE YOU LOSE STEERING CONTROL LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH A TRAVERSE. EVEN BETTER, DON'T BUY A CHEVY. NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND KNOW THAT BASICALLY IT CANT BE FIXED WITH THE TRAVERSE AND THEY AREN'T BEING FORCED TO FIX IT, I WILL NOT HAVE MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR WITH KIDS IN IT EVEN THOUGH I JUST PAID $1400 TO HAVE A REPAIR THAT WILL NOT LAST. *TR

  ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 65 MPH, ALARM CHIMES WENT OFF, DISPLAY CENTER SHOWED "SERVICE STABILITRAK", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE CAR QUICKLY DECELERATED TO 10 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT DOWN. THIS WAS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SERVICE CENTER, DIAGNOSED WITH 4 OR 5 DIFFERENT ISSUES, REPAIRED 2 OR 3 COMPONENTS ALL WITH THE SAME OUTCOME: THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED ISSUE COMES BACK. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S A "NEW ISSUE" EVERY TIME SO AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO FAITH IN THEIR "FIXES", I FEEL THAT WHEN MY WIFE, KIDS, OR ME ARE IN THE CAR I WILL EVENTUALLY BE IN A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WHERE WE ALL DIE AND HOPE THAT AT LEAST THIS MESSAGE WILL COME OUT THEN. GM HAS BEEN SORT OF HELPFUL BUT FROM MY RESEARCH/DEALINGS WITH THIS ISSUE (30+ HOURS), IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODEL GM AUTOMOBILES. I AM AT A LOSS. I HAVEN'T FIXED THE MOST RECENT ISSUE ($700, TRANSMISSION INTERNAL MODE SWITCH) IN HOPES THAT, USING MY OWN RESEARCH/TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, I CAN FIND THE REAL ISSUE BEHIND THESE FAILURES AND NOT JUST WHAT THE "COMPUTER ERROR CODES" ARE POINTING TOO. THE IRONY IN THIS "FEATURE" IS THAT, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT GOES INTO THIS ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE FOR SAFETY REASONS SO THAT YOU WON'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR OR OTHER PROBLEM. YET REDUCING THE ENGINE POWER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR THE PA TURNPIKE WHERE THERE IS NOWHERE TO SAFELY PULL OVER IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PROBLEM OF ALL. NOTES FOR OTHER CONSUMERS: SO FAR THE MECHANIC HAS FLUSHED THE THROTTLE BODY (CLEANED IT), AND REPLACED THE TIMING BELT .

THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 70 MPH TO ABOUT 25 MPH. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE OTHER VEHICLES AS THIS HAPPENED. THE SEATBELT HAS ALSO NOT BEEN LATCHING FULLY AND THIS MORNING THE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON AND SAID CHECK THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. BUT THEN WENT OFF AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS, WHILE I WAS STATIONARY.THIS IS CLEARLY HAZARDOUS AND MAKES DRIVING TO WORK AND TO MY CHILDREN'S THINGS IMPOSSIBLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NOW I'VE DONE MY RESEARCH AND WHAT MOST PEOPLE BELIEVED AND MECHANICS WAS THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR BEING DIRTY, WE HAD THIS CLEANED LAST YEAR. THIS ALSO SEEMED TO ONLY OCCUR AFTER THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE GOES BELOW 30 DEGREES. PEOPLE ALSO HAVE FOUND THAT IT MAY BE THE ENGINE MODULE SYSTEM THAT WAS SERVICED OR SOMETIMES THE CATALYST CONVERTER. BUT EVEN AFTER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THESE THINGS SERVICED THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ORDEAL I HAVE AND THAT'S AFTER HAVING 3 OR MORE MECHANICAL REPAIRS WITH NO CLUE ON WHAT IS ACTUALLY CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

WE TOOK IT INTO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP, WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED. WE PAID FOR THE REPAIR. IN NOVEMBER 2017, THE SAME EVENTS OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION.

  AT APPROXIMATELY 92,000 MILES I STARTED GETTING ERROR CODE P0008 ON MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN OFF FOR A DAY OR TWO, UNTIL FINALLY IT JUST STAYED ON ALL OF THE TIME. THE ACCELERATION WAS VERY POOR, AND THE GAS MILEAGE POOR AS WELL (COMPARED TO WHAT IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN GETTING). I CHANGE MY OIL WELL BEFORE THE METER IN THE CAR TELLS ME TO, USUALLY BEFORE 5000 MILES. DEALER SAID THE TIMING CHAINS STRETCHED DUE TO EXCESSIVELY DIRTY OIL, BUT AS STATED EARLIER, I ALWAYS CHANGED THE OIL BEFORE THE METER SAID TO CHANGE THE OIL. DEALER REPLACED ALL TENSIONERS AND CHAINS AND RESEALED THE FRONT COVER AND REFILLED FLUIDS. GM COVERED 45% OF COST EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS BEYOND WARRANTY PERIOD. FOR A JOB THAT USUALLY WOULD COST ABOUT $2300, I PAID $1336. I'VE READ THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 3.6L V6 ON THE EARLY MODEL TRAVERSES AND OTHER GMS WITH THE SAME ENGINE. I BELIEVE THAT THE REASON THAT I GOT UP TO 92,000 MILES IS BECAUSE I CHANGE MY OIL SO REGULARLY. THE LACK OF ACCELERATION WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC IN DENVER, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FIRST BEGAN HAPPENING, UNEXPECTEDLY. VEHICLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE HOLDING SPEED ON HILLS ON FAST STREETS.

I WENT TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP WHO ESTIMATED A LOWER COST FOR THE REPAIR, THE REPAIR WAS MADE, AND THE DIFFICULTY STEERING BEGAN AGAIN. 24 HOURS AFTER THE SUPPOSED "FIX", THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER MY HUSBAND PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE.

  I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH. TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK OFF CAME ON DASH ALONG WITH PARK ASSIST OFF. I FELT THE ENGINE LOSE POWER AND SPEED DROPPED TO 25MPH. I HAS TO SWERVE AND MISS SEVERAL CARS FROM HITTING ME DUE TO THIS REDUCE SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. PRESSED ON THE PEDDLE TO SPEED UP AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GO PAST 1ST GEAR ( WELL AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT IT FELT LIKE) I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. TO AFRAID TO DRIVE. TOOK IT TO OUR SHOP AND NOTHING WAS REGISTERED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE. CAR SEEMS FINE NOW, JUST AFRAID TO DRIVE. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS?

• 11/30/2015· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  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.
