Suburban

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle initially accelerated then halted. The "traction control active" message was displayed across the message board. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer multiple times where it was diagnosed that the shock absorber and hubs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired on multiple occasions; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Suburban 8-cyl

  • 73,000 miles
Stability system indicator/traction active/traction control indicator come on when making left hand turn sometimes vehicle stalls when accelerator is pressed and "traction active" will illuminate on the dic. Dealer stated that it was a "wheel hub sensor". replaced left wheel hub assembly, still have same issue. In work on replacing right hand wheel hub assembly to see if this corrects issue, but by the look of some of the other responses it will not. Need a recall if this is happening, possible life threatening situation if car stalls when turning through oncoming traffic.
