2016 Chevy Traverse engine traction control, stabiltrak problem. Engine light came on, display stated reduce speed to 25 mph and the above warning flashed on the dash display. The car lost acceleration power. It happened twice in about a two week period. The first time it happened was on 12/18/17, I stopped the first time at a parts store to get the code readings but they did not have the equipment to read the codes. The second time it happened was on 12/27/17, I stopped at another parts store and they read the codes which came up as P2138. Engine light was off the next morning and I took it into advantage Chevy in bolingbrook, il. They made an appointment and told me most likely I need to replace the accelerator pedal and sensor, but until they check it out it could be something else too. I wish I would have taken pictures of the display also.

Traverse

  • 13,000 miles
I was at a red light, foot on the brake when the vehicle accelerated jumping from 1000rpm to 3000rpm, multiple times in a row. Causing my car to lunge forward over and over again. I contacted the dealership immediately & was asked to drive my car in. I was headed to a destination first. When I arrived at my destination, I turned the car off for approximately 5 minutes. When I turned my car back on, there was a loud bang noise, car smelled like something was on fire & the acceleration did not return. What did happen was I now had no air conditioning. Dealership stated it was the ac compressor that went out and caused all the issues.
