Interesting. I guess you're down to changing the oil. If that doesn't work then take it back to the dealer and make use of that new car warranty. Hopefully they give you a loner.

the oil as been change a month ago... im at the dealer today... no chek engine but atleast the issue will be put on my record so if the problem comeback im safe

Make sure you wipe the dipstick really good then check the oil in these trucks. I’ve noticed oil somehow gets trapped in the tube and it registers way overfilled. 

 

-Pull the dipstick

-wipe it good

-wait ~30 seconds

-put the dipstick back in a check it.

i love it when the dude at the service desk think you know nothing in mecanic when he oubviously know less then you... when i ask him about the oil level he told me i did not know how to chek it properly that i was probably looking at it after a ride without wiping the dipstick..... sooo they didn chek the oil but its not my problem anymore the truck is waranty so if something go wrong its there fault

There is a TSB out there.  I have it saved to my computer if you need it.   Originally our trucks called for 8.5qts.  Now it's 8.0 Qts.  Check it after 15 minutes or more of it sitting on level ground.

it will be nice to have it thanks... ill look at it

Let us know if you get a resolution. My truck is doing a similar thing. I pulled into a parking spot and it started idling like it was going to stall then died. Started up and did the same thing. Tonight I drove it home and it was fine. Going to dig into it more tomorrow. Very odd.

I check both sides of the dipstick, just for the case where sometimes oil gets smeared or registers higher on the "right" side.

I personally think GM sets the idle to low on these trucks. They do it to burn less fuel and to apease the EPA. The idle should be 600 RPM's rather than 490 RPM's.

Try using 93 octane fuel and see if it helps.

i am using 93 octane gaz... shell v power... sometime it almost feal like its the fuel pump that struggle

I would put the transmission in Range Select and not Drive mode as this disables the Auto Stop function. Put the trans in the highest gear and it will then drive as normal only without the Auto Stop going on. See if this fixes your problem.

 

The only downside is that when not in Drive the automatic engine grade braking is also disabled. Tow Haul mode works with the transmission in Range Select as well as in Drive so no change with its operation.

 

The Traverse takes 87 octane regular unleaded gas. No reason to waste money on a higher octane fuel. Important to stay away completely from ethanol opr E85 which is  poor fuel choice for any vehicle as it provides 25% less power for the engine.

My catch can was frozen. I'm hoping that was causing my truck to stall in park. Being -15 this week did not help with the holidays and not being driven as much. Trying to thaw it our completely but already have gotten some out of it. My oil level is fine, new battery. Only other thing I could think of is alternator going out but doesn't fully make sense due to issues.

my catch can was frozen as well tryed to empty it and noting would come out but after a ride it did empty and was half full of water

[jvanwinkle2]

I did a small 5 minute drive and put it in my garage. Put a hair dryer on it for 15 minutes and filled half a bottle as well. Mainly water. Hopefully that was my issue. It would only die when in park before.
