Stability & Traction Control complaints by model year
I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES WITH MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR; SINCE 71K MILES. OVER THE PAST 30 DAYS, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAPTIVA IN FOR THE SAME ISSUES, CHIMES, AND DASHBOARD LIGHT UP DUE TO TRACTION CONTROL / STABILITRAK ISSUES. I'M TOLD THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE; YET, I'M OUT WITH MY GRANDDAUGHTERS AND THE DASHBOARD IS CONTINUOUSLY CHIMING AND SHOWING THE SAME ISSUES (STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL). I AM REQUESTING A REAL CHEVROLET TECHNICIAN TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. I'M SCHEDULED TO TAKE IT BACK THIS COMING WEEK. MILES ARE AROUND 80,654. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR FOR FOUR YEARS AND NOW I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. LAST WEEK THEY SAY A TECHNICIAN LOOKED AT IT, BUT THE DASHBOARD DIDN'T LIGHT UP. MY CAR HAS SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR NINE DAYS OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND THE ISSUE IS UNRESOLVED. I AM APPEALING TO GM / CHEVROLET FOR HELP. I LOVE MY SUV AND HOPE TO GET AT LEAST 100K MILES OUT OF HER. THANK YOU!
NHTSA complaint #11363653 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAVE A 2014 C. CAPTIVA AT 79K MILES, ONE SUNDAY ON MY WAY TO CHURCH, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A POP AND THE CAR SHIFTED RIGHT AND SLOWED DOWN, I GET TO CHURCH AND THE SERPENTINE BELT CAME OFF, PUMP WAS LEAKING OIL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. OVER $1200 IN REPAIR COST. A FEW MONTHS LATER P0430 ERROR CODE - CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED, NEW BRAKES FRONT AND BACK. CAR HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT SINCE. PAST 4 MONTHS TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES. IF I HOLD MY FOOT ON BRAKE AT STOP SIGN, ALARM GOES OFF DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP: TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE LIGHT AND STABILITRAK. THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL. I TOOK IT TO MY CHEVY DEALER AND YESTERDAY WAS ADVISED MY CAR IS FINE DRIVE IT FOR 150 MILES. I GO OUT THIS MORNING AT 5:00 AM AND WHILE AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, (1.5 MILES) ALL LIGHTS BACK ON. WHATEVER THE ISSUE, CHEVY NEEDS TO THOROUGHLY CHECK TO SEE WHAT'S CAUSING THE ISSUE, THE WEATHER IS CHANGING. I'M JUST OVER 80K MILES AND I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS BEEN THROUGH THE EXTREME AND HAS YET TO BE BROKEN IN. ALL THESE OCCURENCES HAPPEND WITHIN 12 MONTHS. I LOVE THIS CAR AND HOPEFULLY CHEVY CAN GET TO THE ROOT OF MY ISSUES AS THEY ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ENGINE. 79K MILES MY CAR WENT TO A CHEVY DEALER WITH COMPLAINTS OF ENGINE . 80,547 MILES BACK IN FOR ENGINE REPAIRS. DIAGNOSIS 15 LOSS OF COMMUNICATION CODES AND LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE.

THE CAR WILL GO COMPLETELY DEAD WITH 0 POWER AND THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. OPEN THE HOOD AND POUND ON A FUSE BOX AND IT WILL START. IT IS DONE THIS ONE IS STATIONARY AND WHEN YOU'RE PULLING ON TO THE HIGHWAY OR OUT OF YOUR DRIVEWAY AND IT WILL KILL ITSELF

NHTSA complaint #11349853 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FREQUENTLY CAR WILL NOT START EVEN WITH GOOD BATTERY AND CABLE CONNECTIONS. WHILE DRIVING CAR WILL LOSE POWER. THE 3 GAUGES(RPM, SPEEDOMETER, AND GAS) ALL STOP AND WORKING. THE CAR WILL STILL RUN BUT AT A MUCH LESS POWER. SOMETIMES THEY START WORKING BUT RPMS WILL RUN VERY HIGH AND SPEED IS GREATLY DECREASED. MESSAGE COMES ACROSS TO SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL. WARNING LIGHTS COME ON SUCH AS ABS, TCS WARNING,STABILITRAK INDICATOR, AND PARKING BRAKE WARNING. DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK REPEATEDLY. AT TIMES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESET BY UNHOOKING BATTERY CABLE AND RECONNECTING AND WAITING. NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN AND WHY IT HAPPENS. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HAVE EVEN REPLACED UNDER-HOOD FUSE BOX. OH AND KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION. WHILE I WILL PUT A DATE, KNOW THAT THIS IS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR. USUALLY TWO TIMES A WEEK SOMETIMES MORE

NHTSA complaint #11319000 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAD DRIVEN IT ABOUT 12 MILES AND KILLED THE CAR MEANING I TURNED IT OFF AND IMMEDIATELY IT HAD NO POWER WHAT SO EVER. THEN SAT NOV 30,2019 I WAS DRIVING IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE SENSOR LIGHTS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE CAME ON AND IT CHIMED LETTING ME KNOW SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND THEN IT QUIT. SUN, DEC 1ST, 2019 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN OKC AND THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE PARKING BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT. NEXT, I HAD TURNED DOWN A SIDE ROAD ABOUT TO DRIVE OVER A SPEED BUMP, WHEN THE CAR SLIPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR ONLY ALLOWING THE MOTOR TO REV, AND IT JUST ROLLED WHILE THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIGHTS BLINKED AND FLICKERED AND THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEMSELVES. ONCE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO ROLL A FEW MINUTES, IT ENGAGED BACK INTO DRIVE AND MY UBER RIDER ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG, AND I EXPLAINED, THAT IM HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THIS IS NOT ONLY PUTTING ME AND MY WIFE IN DANGER, BUT ALL OF MY UBER PASSENGERS AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME RESOLUTION ON THIS ISSUE AND GET IT FIXED, SO OUR LIVES AND EVERYONE AROUND US IS OUT OF DANGER.
NHTSA complaint #11283204 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE WE HAVE HAD WITH THE STABILITY TRACK ON THIS VEHICLE. FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT THE END OF JANUARY 2019. NOW LESS THAT 4 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES AUTO ENGAGE, BUT NO WARNING OR LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH OR INFORMATION SCREEN. THEN ONCE YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AS YOU CANT DRIVE IT THE SERVICE STABILITRACK/ TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE COMES ACROSS THE INFORMATION SCREEN. THE ROADS WERE CLEAN AND DRY, WE NOTICED SOMETHING ODD AT 25 MILES PER HOUR BUT WERE UNABLE TO STOP AS THERE WASN'T ANYWHERE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. WE HAD JUST LEFT A STORE PARKING LOT AND WERE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, NO EXCESSIVE SPEED OR ERRATIC DRIVING. SO THIS HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS THE MAIN VEHICLE THAT OUR CHILD RIDES IN AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE REPAIRED IN LESS THAN 2000 MILES FROM THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED.
NHTSA complaint #11208466 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
WENT TO THE DENTIST, GOT MY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THEN WENT TO THE DOCTOR, THEN VISITED A FRIEND. WHEN I LEFT MY FRIENDS HOUSE TO GET ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR SMELLED LIKE OIL BURNING- ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON, LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. MY FRIEND SENT ME PICTURES OF HER DRIVEWAY WHERE ALL MY OIL LEAKED OUT- AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED- THE MECHANIC SAID THE REAR MAIN SEAL HAD BLOWN BECAUSE OF A PVC ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT OF COURSE MY VIN ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL.

NHTSA complaint #11181410 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
THIS CAR HAS SO MANY ELECTRICAL CODES WHEN TESTED. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE CAR A YEAR. WHY HADN'T GM DID A RECALL ON THESE CARS. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US WHO HAVE THIS CAR. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND WOULD LIKE A ANSWER TO WHY THERE ISNT A RECALL WITH SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS!
NHTSA complaint #11149999 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ENGINE SPUTTERED, LURCHED FORWARD, THEN ALMOST DIED REPEATEDLY AT A STOPLIGHT. DROVE CAR HOME AS NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC. MECHANIC ADVISED TO DRIVE CAR TO THE SHOP. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR TO DRIVE THERE, SEVERAL ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON STATING 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' AND A STABILITRACK WARNING. THE CAR THEN DIED AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. TOWED THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. 80K MILES ON THE CAR AND MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, SO NOW I'M PUTTING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO A NEW ENGINE. HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES SIMILAR AT THE SAME MILEAGE.
NHTSA complaint #11119285 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ACCELERATION: HESTITATES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS, HAS GONE ON SINCE I TOOK OWNERSHIP DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS A PROBLEM UNTIL OTHERS STARTED MENTIONING IT.
NHTSA complaint #11103646 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
STABILITRAK SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY. THEN THIS MORNING, THE PARKING BRAKE SERVICE LIGHT. ANYTIME I APPLIED THE BRAKE, MY SHIFTER WOULD CLICK LOUDLY. ANYTIME I WENT OVER 20 MPH, THE CARE WOULD REV LIKE IT WAS HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE SHIFTING. TWICE IT WOULDN'T GO RIGHT AWAY EVEN IF I WAS HARD OR EASY ON THE GAS AND I ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND IN TRAFFIC. THE D SYMBOL ON DASH WOULD EVEN FLICKER. THIS CAR HAS HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T FURTHER RECALLS!
NHTSA complaint #11096979 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
INTERMITTENTLY THEN PANEL LIGHTS COME ON (TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS) TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS WORK, . YOU LOSE POWER TO CAR AND CANNOT EVEN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. AFTER SOME TIME, YOU CAN FINALLY GET THE KEY OUT. SOMETIMES IT'S MINUTES, SOMETIMES IT'S HOURS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW WEEKS AGO, HAPPENING FEW TIMES A WEEK. NOW, IT'S HAPPENING DAILY, EVEN FEW TIMES A DAY. WE FOUND A CHEVY FORUM ONLINE AND SHOCKINGLY THIS IS HAPPENING TO 2012 CAPTIVA'S. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? THIS CAN BE FATAL TO LOSE POWER TO THE CAR IF WE ARE ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOSE FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO START THE CAR NOTHING HAPPENS AND I CAN'T GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION.
NHTSA complaint #11078963 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I PURCHASED THE CAPTIVA AFTER MY VAN WAS TOTALED, IN FEB 2017, PROBLEMS STARTED IN APRIL, CAR WOULD DIE, EVERYWHERE, DRS OFFICE, GROCERY STORE, DRIVEWAYS, LIBRARY, RESTAURANTS, RAIN, SNOW, DAY OR NIGHT. COULD NOT TAKE KEY OUT, GEAR FROZE IN PARK, NO ELECTRICAL WORKING AT ALL, AT 1ST CAR WOULD START AFTER A WHILE, THEN IT WOULD NOT, CALLED AAA, NO 1 COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, I HAVE SPENT $453.00 WITH NO RESULTS, USED UP MY FREE CALLS FROM AAA PLUS. EVERY MECHANIC HAD A DIFFERENT REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. BOUGHT CAR AT A CARFAX...THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING....TOOK CAR TO CHEVY DEALER, THEY COULD DO NOTHING AS THEY HAD NOT SOLD THAT MANY CAPTIVAS, WOULD CHECK IT FOR $500.00. I WROTE TO CHEVROLET TO TELL THEM OF THE PROBLEM, WAS TOLD VERY NICELY THAT IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I HAD NOT TAKEN THE CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP SOONER. THEY COULD DO NOTHING, I COULD PAY THE $500.00 MAYBE WITH NO RESULTS. I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS...1 OF THE MECHANICS SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LEFT HAND NODE ON THE BATTERY..NOW I START THE CAR BY HITTING THE RED PLASTIC COVER!!! I AM A 84 YRS OLD F, LIVE ALONE & WORK. SO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE I WILL BE DOING THIS TO START THE CAR. HAVE HAD GMA & CHEVY CARS ALL MY LIFE, I WILL TELL ALL MY FAMILY (20) NEVER BUY GM. I CANNOT EVEN SELL THIS LEMON EVEN IF I COULD AFFORD IT. I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE BBB AND TO CONSUMER PROTECTION.

CAR STALLED, BLUE SMOKE, SAID CHECK STABILITY TRACTION AND SHUT CAR OFF! (OUT OF OIL JUST 3 DAYS AFTER FILLED WITH OIL) I CHANGE OIL EVERY 2K MILES. I WAS INFORMED A LOT OF VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ENGINE DID THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGER ISSUE. MY CAR STRANDED ME -12 DEGREE WEATHER!!!! I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SEAL BLEW BECAUSE I DROVE A LONG TRIP IN THE COLD AND IT FROZE AND BROKE. THESE ARE TWO PROBLEMS I HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH AND THEY CALLED ME A LIAR AND TOLD ME I ABUSED MY CAR AND ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING POWER TRAIN RAN OUT THE SAME DAY I WAS STRANDED! I AM [XXX] AND NEVER ABUSE MY VEHICLES (MY DAD TAUGHT ME PROPER). I NOW HAVE NO CAR. IT IS PARKED IN MY YARD. I OWE $5000.00. IT ONLY HAS 89,000 MILES. THE COST TO FIX IS $3,350.00. I FEEL THIS WAS/IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THE ENGINE/SENSORS WOULD BE RUINED IF I DROVE IT ANYMORE. THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN. I WAS ALSO STRANDED 90 MILES AWAY FROM HOME BECAUSE IT QUIT. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP (PURCHASED FROM) SAID TOO BAD. GM SAID TOO BAD. WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR STUTTERED, AND SHUT OFF AFTER TELLING ME TO SHUT IT OFF. AT THE STOP LIGHT, I HURRIED TO START IT, IT WAS RUSH HOUR, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ON A CITY STREET, AT ST. CLOUD, MN. I WAS SO SCARED. I NURSED IT TO A TIRE PLACE, (THANK GOODNESS THEY CLOSED AT 6 P.M., AS IT WAS 5:30 P.M.) THEY DO ALL CAR STUFF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I LOVE MY CAPTIVA. I DON'T' DARE DRIVE IT. IT WILL QUIT AND I CANNOT PUT 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN EVERY 50 MILES! PLEASE I KNOW FROM REPAIR PLACES THAT THIS ENGINE IS A PROBLEM. THIS SAME ENGINE IN A LOT OF EQUINOX'S, SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR QUITS, THE OIL IS OUT BECAUSE THE REAR SEAL BROKE IN THE COLD MINNESOTA WEATHER ON OUR LONG TRIP.

NHTSA complaint #11063462 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT CHEVY CAPTIVAS ONLINE TODAY AS I WAS SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER FOR WHY MY CAR DIED ON ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING HOME THIS EVENING. ONCE WAS ON A HILL TURNING ONTO THE ROAD BEFORE MY HOME AND THE SECOND TIME WAS PULLING INTO MY APARTMENT COMPLEX. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR THERE WAS A CAR COMING OVER THE HILL I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT. LATELY THE PARKING BREAK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF, ALSO I'VE HAD TIMES WHEN I'D GO TO START MY VEHICLE IT WOULD ACT AS IF THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED A YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF AGO SO I DON'T SUPPOSE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS OFTEN FLICKER. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THESE PROBLEMS I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH THE CAPTIVA AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND I DON'T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT MY CAR DYING WHILE DRIVING THEM TO OR FROM DAYCARE AND SCHOOL AND US GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
