2010 Chevrolet Traverse 4-DR. w/SAB

My check engine light started coming on and found out from mechanic there was an issue with the stretching of the timing chain (P0008) . Car started making clanging noises and now needing a $3000 repair . After researching the problem, I have found out that there was an ongoing problem with belts and had recalls for 2009 , which was covered. Gm knowing there was a faulty design tried to reprogram the oil life monitor as a corrective action for the population of vehicles meaning THEY recognized the sensitivity of system. It wasn’t effective enough because now people are having issues at higher mileage and outside their warranty. GM knew this would happen and are now pushing the cost onto their loyal customers. GM needs to show loyalty to their customers and own up to the poor design. My traverse is now drivable and with all the financial difficulties of the pandemic , I can’t afford the repair.

The steering on vehicle is intermittently nearly impossible to turn. GM has a service bulletin that addresses problem and extends warranty. My vehicle is beyond the warranty time but still under the mileage. I called GM and the will not offer any assistance of warranty or cost share. This should be a recall as it’s a serious safety issue!! There’s likely been injuries and deaths because of this very problem. You never know when it may act up and when it does it’s extremely dangerous. GM customer service reference # 9-6768504646. Let me know if there’s something you can do to help and/or if not. Thanks

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE LT ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN WITH NO WARNINGS AT ALL. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AT 67 MPH IN MID HEAVY TRAFFIC. I POINTED HER TO THE CENTER DIVIDER SINCE I WAS IN THE FAST LANE. WE CAME TO A HALT AND I WASN'T ALL THE WAY OUT OF TRAFFIC. I GOT IT HOME TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL TO HER, SINCE I HAD JUST HAD HER SERVICED AND WAS TOLD SHE WAS READY TO TRAVEL. MY MECHANIC WAS DUMB FOUNDED AND SHOWED ME JUST IN THE LAST YEAR THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY DRIVER'S WITH MY SAME CAR. AND MINE WAS JUST SERVICED AND A NEW STARTER PUT IS, AS WELL AS THE TIMING BELT LOOKED OVER. OIL CHANGED, TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT, NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTERS VALVES CLEANED, PLUGS REPLACED, AND FAST TANK AND LINES PURGED AND CLEANED.

I HAVE HAD ALL ELECTRICAL WORK DONE. THE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT ON MY TRUCK. I REPLACE THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FREQUENTLY. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN I PUMP GAS. THE TRUCK STALLS AND DOES NOT WANT TO CRANK. I HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN.

I KEEP HAVING TO GET THE AIR CONDITIONING FIXED. I HAD ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL WORK DONE AND REPLACED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT WENT BACK OUT. I REPLACED THE CONDENSOR. I HAD MORE FREON ADDED AND IT STILL BLOWS OUT WARM AIR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THE AIR TO NOT WORK. VERY FRUSTRATING! WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT STILL DOES NOT WORK.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TRAVERSE WITH 94,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD I HAD ' SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED' MIT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND MY VEHICLE I HAD TO LIMP HOME.

MY HATCH/LIFTGATE DOESN'T STAY OPEN IT SHUTS AS SOON AS YOU LET GO. EVEN WHEN YOU USE THE AUTO LIFTGATE BUTTON IT DOES THE SAME THING IT OPENS AND THEN JUST SHUTS NOW THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE TWO LITTLE BOYS. ALSO MY POWER STEERING PUMP IS NOT RUNNING.

A FEW MONTHS AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD MY MECHANIC TEST IT AND IT CAME BACK FOR TIMING CHAIN. HE SAID HE KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHEN HE SAW THE CODE BECAUSE HE'S SEEN A LOT OF TRAVERSE'S WITH TIMING CHAIN PROBLEMS. I HAD LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON MY CAR! I CALLED GM BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. LAST MONTH I FOUND OUT MY COUSIN JUST HAD HER TIMING CHAIN REPLACED ON HER TRAVERSE JUST BEFORE 100,000 MILES. THERE ARE ALSO A TON OF FORUM POSTS ABOUT TRAVERSE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. IT'S ABSURD SUCH A CRUCIAL PART IS FAULT IN SO MANY OF THESE CARS. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE ENGINE CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. NO ENGINE LIGHTS, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, ETC. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND HAD JUST LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO MAKE A TURN WHEN I NOTICED THE POWERING STEERING WAS OUT AND REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD CUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THANK GOD I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET SAW A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE OF GRAVE CONCERN AND A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

THE TRUNK LIFTGATE CLOSES ON PEOPLE AND CAN CRUSH SOMEONE IF YOU AREN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO FORCE THE DOOR OPEN. IT ALSO WILL NOT STAY OPEN.

ENGIN BURNING OIL. ALSO SAYS CAT UNDER PERFORMANCE BAY 1 I HAD A MECHANIC FIR IT TWICE DUE TO MISFIRE ON 2 CYLINDERS. LIFT GATE ELECTRICAL ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES AND OTHERS IT GOES UP THE STARTS TO CLOSE HALF WAY UP. IV BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD A FEW TIMES. PASSENGER WINDOW WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE. ALL ISSUES I WAS INFORMED WERE DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING ISSUES.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH IS MAINLY ON.... 95%+ OF THE TIME.... NO INFORMATION ON CODE READER, TO TELL WHY OR WHICH AIRBAG IS MAKING LIGHT COME ON....AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MEANS THAT ALL WOULDN'T WORK OR JUST ONE OR???

DRIVING 65-70 ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUNROOF FLEW OFF! (IT WAS CLOSED)

DRIVING EAST IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE, FORD TAURUS, ENTERED THE LANE CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION. I WAS TRAVELING WITHIN THE SPEED LIMITS. I HAVE INJURIES AND REINJURED PARTS OF MY BODY. OCTOBER 26 2020.

TRACTION CONTROL AND STABLIZER LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. RADIO COMES ON AND OFF.

ME AND MY WIFE OWN A 2010 TRAVERSE AND 2 DAYS AGO THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SHE WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FEW SECONDS IT TOOK TO TURN THE HAZZARD LIGHTS ON, IM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE ISSUES ARE BEING SUBMITTED BUT NO ACTIONS IVE BEEN A LIFE LONG GM OWNER AND THIS IS A TURNING ME TOWARDS LOOKING ELSEWHERE MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR MY 3 CHILDREN HAD THEY BEEN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP BY A GOOD CAR MANUFACTURER PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS

I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE LT I PURCHASED FROM CARVANA. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2020. THE VEHICLE WAS RE-SCHEDULED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WAS DELIVERED. I WAS CONTACTED VIA PHONE ON THE DELIVERY DATE VIA CARVANA CUSTOMER ADVOCATE TO INSTRUCT ME THE VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE-VIEW MIRROR, DRIVER DOOR LATCH WAS DAMAGED IN ROUTE TO THE CARVANA HUB LOCATED IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. THE ADVOCATE ADVISED ME THEY CAN RE-SCHEDULED THE DELIVERY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I INFORMED THE ADVOCATE I WAS IN DESPERATE NEED OF A VEHICLE AND COULD NOT AFFORD FOR IT TO BE RE-SCHEDULED AGAIN. SHE ASSURED ME THAT I CAN TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED SERVICE CENTER AND HAVE A SERVICE ADVISOR TO GIVE THEM A CALL TO COVER THE LABOR AND REPAIRS AND THEY WILL COVER IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FROM OCTOBER 2019 TO MARCH 2020 AFTER RECEIVING THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN ISSUE AFTER ISSUE. THE REPAIRS THAT WAS DONE IS LISTED BELOW. 'WINDOWS (SAFELITE) 'WINDOW MOLDING 'CAR MATS 'PASSENGER HEATED SEAT 'TIRES 'RACK AND PINION 'OIL PAN, GASKET AND OIL FILTER 'WATER PUMP AND GASKET 'BALL JOINTS 'UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS 'FRONT RIGHT AND LEFT STABILIZER BARS 'FRONT BRAKES 'REAR BRAKES 'ROTORS TURNED 'FRONT STRUTS 'AIR CONDITION HOSES AND FREON, I HAD TO PAY THE WARRANTY WAS UP 'DRIVER HANDLES DRIVER, PASSENGER, AND BACK HANDLE 'EXHAUST LEAK AND MANIFOLD CAT BACK 'MUFFLERS (4) 'CADILLAC CONVERTER (4) 'EXHAUST 'KEYS (2) FOB (2)

I GOT A BRAND NEW POWER STEERING PUMP FOR THE MECHANIC TO CHANGE HE TOLD ME HE WOULD CHANGE IT AND STOP THE LEAK BECAUSE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME. HOWEVER I WAS CALLED THE FIRST TIME AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS DISINFECTING THEN MADE ME RETURN THE PART FOR A NEW PART BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS STILL LEAKING. I WENT TO BUYWISE GOT THE NEW PART HE SAID HE'LL CALL WHEN MY CAR IS READY. HE CALLED ME TOLD ME MY CAR WAS READY NOMORE LEAKING , LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY MY CAR STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP ON THE HIGHWAY IN DANGER OF MY LIFE. AS I CALL THE MECHANIC AND TELL HIM I'M BRINGING MY CAR BACK BECAUSE HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING HE TELLS ME HE'LL LOOK AT IT I GET THERE HE'S TELLING ME IT'S A LEAK. SO YOU LET ME LEAVE YOUR SHOP KNOWING IT WAS A LEAK BECAUSE HE JUST SENT ME FOR A NEW PART BECAUSE OF THE LEAK SO HE TRIES TO TELL ME HE GONNA HAVE TO CHARGE ME AGAIN AFTER I ALREADY PAID HIM FOR THE JOB AND HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I ALMOST GOT INTO A ACCIDENT BECAUSE HE TOLD ME MY CAR WAS READY TO GO AND IT WASN'T. INSTEAD OF CHECKING THE PROBLEM HE WANTS TO CHARGE ME MORE AFTER HE ALREADY GOT OVER 500$ AND HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR. THE PLACE IS CALLED RELIABLE AUTO CENTER LOCATION 789 SANFORD AVE NEWARK NJ 07106. I REALLY WANT MY REFUND FOR MY MONEY BECAUSE I GAVE HIM OVER 500$ CASH AND HE LITERALLY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO MY CAR AND LIED AND SAID MY CAR WAS READY AND ALMOST GOT ME INTO A ACCIDENT.

DIFFICULT TO TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS. WHILE I HAD IT AT DEALER FOR OTHER RECALL ISSUES I WAS TOLD THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST AS IT WAS NOT A RECALL.I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. I ASKED IF THAT WERE THE CASE WHY GM DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR IT.A CAR THAT WAS ONLY 3 YRS. OLD AND UNDER 60,000MI. SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.I GOOGLED WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO GO OUT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME FRAME AND READ THAT MOST LIKELY IT WAS NOT GREASED OR ASSEMBLED PROPERLY! A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAD TO REPLACE HERS AT HER COST. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS A DANGEROUS DRIVING PROBLEM. AS FAR AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING THE BACK SEAT HEAT CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES JUST RANDOMLY TURN ON. GM SHOULD BACK THEIR WORK ON THIS RACK AND PINION STEERING DEFECT!

WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS AND/OR DLE THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GOES OUT. THIS MAKES TURNS AND PARKING VERY DANGEROUS. THE FLUID IS FULL AND THERE IS NO NOISE FROM THE POWER STEERING ITSELF. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT OPERATES NORMALLY. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT WE WERE ON VACATION HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROX 6 HOURS AT ABOUT 70MPH. WHEN COMING OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS I SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY FOR A TIGHT RIGHT CURVE AND FOUND THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING. WE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND CHECKED THE FLUID. FLUID WAS FULL. PROBLEM PERSISTED AT LOW SPEED, TURNS AND PARKING. HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY NOISE OR OTHER PROBLEMS. I SEE THERE IS A EXTENDED SERVICE FOR SOME 2010 TRAVERSE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT APPARENTLY MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM I BELIEVE THE EXTENDED COVERAGE NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

MY VEHICLE BEING TRACK BY LAW ENFORCEMENT-MAPPING AND STOP AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK UNDER DIFFERENT VECHILE CODES EBD,EPS,TRAC AND RADIO WAVES BY TELCOMMUNCATIONERS CODING MY CAR MOST RECENTLY STOP ON 7-13-2020 .THIS IS MY COMPLAINT FOR INVESTIGATION. MY TAG IS RTT0049.

RACK AND PINION IS LOOSE AND WORE OUT. POWER STEERING DOES GOOD TURNING TO THE RIGHT WAY BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO TURN TO THE LEFT. ACTS LIKE IT GRABS TURNING TO THE LEFT, IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I DRIVE OR A MECHANIC DRIVES THE CAR, 2010 CHEVY TRANSVERSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, FLAMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. MOMENTS AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE AN EXPLOSION OCCURRED UNDER THE HOOD. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. A FIRE REPORT AND POLICE REPORT WERE TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

IT'S DRIVABLE JUST I NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIKE DASHBOARD RADIO GO DIM OCCASIONALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE MAYBE TAKE A HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO REGULAR AND IF I HAVE THE RADIO AT HIGH VOLUME WHILE DRIVING AND I DECREASE SPEED THE VOLUME LOWERS ITSELF JUST A CONCERN THAT IT MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON BUT NO RECALLS FOR IT. *TR

RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS TRAVERSE 2010 LTZ FROM A PRIVATE OWNER AFTER 200 MILES ON THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRIGGERED A FEW CODES P0008-P0017-P0420, UPON EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS AT FOUR DIFFERENT PLACES. FROM HIGH END AUTHORIZED CHEVY DEALERS TO LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THESE SAME ISSUES WERE RECALLED AND INVESTIGATED FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR 2009 ON THESE MODELS AND OBVIOUSLY IT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVE FOR THE 2010. WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS CAR YET, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO TAKE ACTION. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EMERGENCY AND FINANCIAL CRISIS WITH BIG CAR COMPANIES BEING BAIL OUT. PRIVATE OWNERS LIKE ME DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO COVER A REPAIR FOR OVER $3500. THIS WAS DEFINITELY MY MISTAKE BUT I WAS COMING FROM A LONG OWNERSHIPS LINE OF CHEVY CARS FROM CRUZE TO MALIBU AND NOW THE TRAVERSE . BUT THIS ISSUE IS JUST TOO MUCH . THE LIFE TIME OF CHAIN IT IS DESIGNED TO GO ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIFETIME. OBVIOUSLY THAT ISN'T HAPPENING FOR THE TRAVERSE 2010. PLEASE TAKE ACTION WE NEED A SOLUTION THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD ON THIS VEHICLES. *TR

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON THAT IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE WITH 110,000 MILES WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. HAS CODES P0017 AND P0008 REQUIRING A NEW TIMING CHAIN. TIMING CHAINS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR. WHEN DO MOTORS ONLY LAST 100K MILES? THIS KNOWN ISSUE FROM 2009 HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT HAD SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED BUT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES LATER THE FAILURE HAD REOCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER PATRIOT CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 40 AUTO PARK BLVD, LIMERICK PA, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN PULLING TO THE SIDE IF THE ROAD THE CAR JUST SHUT OF AND WENT DEAD. TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND I NOW HAVE A $8,900 BILL BECAUSE THE ENGINE SEIZED UP DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN. SO I NOW HAVE A BIG BLUE PERMANENT YARD FIXTURE BECAUSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO FIX THIS CAR IN THE PANDEMIC. I'VE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHY IS CHEVY NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES??

THE STEERING TO SO HARD IN TO CAR WHEN TRYING TO TURN. LIKE CAR CHOOSES WHEN TO LOOSEN UP OR NOT

SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND MAKES IT REALLY HARD TO TURN SOMETIMES WHEN DOING SO IT LOOSENS UP ALL OF A SUDDEN CAUSING IT TO JERK/ TURN TO FAST WHICH COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN TAKING OFF THE TRAVERSE DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT THEN HAVING TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF ROAD TO PUT IN PARK AND PUT BACK IN GEAR THEN GO AND ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SHIFTS REALLY HARD JERKING THE VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING!! THE 2ND ROW HEAT/ AIR CONTROLS GET REALLY HOT EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE.

THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WOULD THEN START BACK UP WHILE STILL ROLLING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT LIGHTS IT SHUTOFF AND I THEN HAD TOBRESTART IT IT DID THIS ALL THE WAY HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SCANNER SAYS P0019 STATES IT'S THE CORRELATION N TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SENSOR. UPON RESEARCHING THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS IN PARTICULAR MOTOR. DOING THIS WHILE ON THE ROAD IS INCREDIBLE UNSAFE AND COULD HAVE CAUSE ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FIRST THE DVD PLAYER WENT OUT THEN THE AIR AND HEAT QUIT BLOWING, DURING THIS THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOSE POWER COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING BUT COULD BE BUMPED BACK ON BY JAMMING ON THE GAS OR RESTARTING THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED LOCKING IN MY KEY AND SETTING OFF THE ANTI THEFT ELECTRIC LOCKDOWN. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SOME OF THE ISSUES STOPPED BRIEFLY (THE ANTI THEFT AND POWER LOSS) BUT THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED WITHIN A MONTH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START OR ALLOW THE BATTERY TO CHARGE VIA JUMP OR CHARGE PACK.

THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT'S THE SAME CHAIN THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2009 TRAVERSE. THE ENGINE TAKES A WHILE TO ACCELERATE.

MY TRAVERSE CURRENTLY HAS 75K MILES AND IS ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. I TOOK IT TO CHEVY BUT. WAS GOING TO BE AROUND 3K TO GET FIXED. THIS CAR IS ALMOST BRAND NEW AND WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF IT AND UPPER MAINTENANCE. ITS STILL RUNNING BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I CANT AFFORD IT. I THOUGHT CHEVY WOULD STICK TO THEIR WORD AND KEEPING GREAT QUALITY CARS. IVE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHEVY AND CURRENTLY MY 3RD CHEVY CAR BUT ITS OBSURD HOW CHEAPER AND MORE PROBLEMATIC THEYRE GETTING AND IVE LOOKED INTO IT ONLINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ON VARIOUS SITES HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN AT AROUND 80K MILES AND ONCE IT GETS FIXED IT HAS THE CONSTANT PROBLEM OVER AND OVER. ALL I ASK IS CHEVY TO MAKE IT RIGHT AND KEEP THEIR WORD AND SELL GOOD CARS AND PUT A RECALL ON IT AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I KNOW CHEVY MAKES GREAT MONEY AND THEY CAN MAKE IT RIGHT AND GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY PAY FOR. MY CAR STILL HAVE A LOT OF LIFE AND IM JUST SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS, ITS SO STRESSFUL. PLEASE HELP. WHAT IVE UPLOADED IS ONLY FROM THAT WEBSITE BUT THEIR IS MANY!! AND BAD WORD GOING AROUND BECAUSE OF IT. PLEASE MAKE IT RIGHT AND HELP US.

ON JAN 4 2020 I WAS DRY ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 70 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR MADE A DING NOISE AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS OFF THEN IT SAID IT WAS POWERING DOWN AND THEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF NOWHERE THAT HAPPENED I READ THAT GMC HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS QITH THE SAME SITUATION. I WAS VERY SCARED AND VERY EMOTIONAL AND I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED THIS IS A REALLY BAD SAFETY PROBLEM AND I READ THAT TTHAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENED TOO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL OUT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. SOON AFTER, A POWER DOWN WARNING INDICATOR APPEARED AND THE STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

AFTER SOME MAJOR MAINTENANCE WORK SUMMER OF 2018, CAR BEGAN TO SHOW MORE WORK NEEDED. SUMMER OF 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT CITY ROAD, POWER STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN & CONTROL CURVES AND, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PARKED THE CAR UNTIL ABLE TO REPAIR. MECHANIC REPAIRED POWER STEERING MODULE CAR SEEMED OK. AFTER ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT & POWER STEERING PROBLEMS AGAIN , NOW ENGINE POWER REDUCED WHILE DRIVING W/STABILITRAK WARNING & BACK UP CAM SOMETIMES WORKS. WHLE DRIVING , HARD TO TURN ON CURVES, CORNERS AND AT APPROPRIATE POSTED SPEEDS BC ENGINE SLOWS ON ITS OWN AND WONT GIVE ENOUGH POWER FOR FLATS OR HILLS. HEATING TAKES MUCH LONGER TO WARM CABIN AND WINDOW BUTTON SOMETIMES WONT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE SIDE AIR BAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT OCCURRING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT CALLED HIS INSURANCE COMPANY AND WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

HIT A DEER DIDN'T DO NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT NOT ALL THE FRONT AIRBAGS JUST THE ONE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER SIDE DASH

THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS INTERMITTENTLY GOING INTO "LOW ENGINE" MODE, WARNING BLINKS FOR ONLY A SECOND THEN THE CAR WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS- IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING ON THE FREEWAY? DOES THIS ISSUE NEED TO RESULT IN A DEATH BEFORE IT IS LOOKED INTO BY THE COMPANY? THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEARS- HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO WARNING SIGNS WHATSOEVER. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN I GO ABOVE 40 MPH, THE THE RPMS GOES TO 9+OFF THE CHARTS AND I CANNOT GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR. SINCE IT HAPPENS ONLY RANDOMLY MECHANICS HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING ISSUE SINCE IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS FOR THEM. OUR LAST VISIT SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT AT A PRICE THAT IS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR, THAT IS HARD TO STOMACH. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE AND CONSIDERING THE 2009 RECALL, MY TWO CENTS IS THE 2010 MODEL MOST OBVIOUSLY HAS SIMILAR MANUFACTURING ISSUES AND A DEEPER INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE. OTHER ISSUES, CAR LURCHES/JERKS WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. PLEASE BACK YOUR COMPANY AND IN GOOD FAITH TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS AS SOME OF US WORK HARD FOR OUR MONEY, THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESULT OF SOMETHING ANYONE TAKES PRIDE IN!

PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF REMOVED KEY AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. AFTER GETTING TO FLAT GROUND WHERE IT WOULD NOT ROLL I TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER AT ALL EITHER. HAD A MECHANIC FRIEND LOOK AT IT AND HE MANUALLY PULLED THE LINKAGE FORWARD TO CLICK IT INTO PARK SO I COULD RESTART IT AND MOVE THE VEHICLE. EVERYTIME I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK NOW IT HAS TO BE PULLED INTO PARK MANUALLY FROM UNDER THE HOOD. HAVE NOT HEARD YET WHAT THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS. HEARD 2009 VEHICLES HAD SAME ISSUE AND RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR IT. THIS IS DEFINATELY NOT A GOOD SITUATION. POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS.

P10017 AND P0018- TIMING CHAINS GONE BAD

2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MULTIPLE RECALLS ON VEHICLE. *LD *JS

TIMING CHAIN IS LOOSE. LOOSING FUEL AND POWER.

AFTER REACHING THE 100,000 MILE MARK, MY TRAVERSE RAN ROUGH, HAD SLOW ACCELERATION, AND SOMETIMES LOW POWER. THE MPG WENT DOWN DRASTICALLY FROM APRX 320 PER TANK TO BTWN 230-250. IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH ROUTINE OIL CHANGES, RECENTLY WITH SYNTHETIC OIL DUE TO THE HIGH MILEAGE. I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND AIR FILTER, WHICH HELPED FOR A SHORT TIME. IT BEGAN REVVING AT HIGH RPMS ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT SHIFTING. AFTER APRX FIVE MONTHS OF EXPERIENCING THE SYMPTOMS PERIODICALLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND ALERTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM JUST OVER 108,000 MILES. THE CODE P0008 INDICATED A TIMING ISSUE, RESULTING FROM EITHER A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN OR BAD TENSIONER. THE LIGHT WAS OFF THE NEXT MORNING, BUT RETURNED LATER THE SAME DAY. I DID NOT DRIVE THE TRAVERSE FOR APRX TWO WEEKS IN FEAR OF THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING. THE DAY I WAS TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AND BLEW THE ENGINE. THE CHEVY MECHANIC CONFIRMED IT WAS A RESULT OF THE TIMING CHAIN. DOING RESEARCH, THERE ARE SEVERAL CASES OF THE 3.6L ENGINE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING. I AM JUST THANKFUL I WAS NOT DRIVING AT THE TIME IT BROKE. I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AFTER EXPERIENCING THE SIGNS FOR MONTHS. CHEVY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 TRAVERSE AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES. THEY NEED TO DO THE SAME THING WITH THE 2010'S AS WELL. THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL INDICATES THE TIMING CHAIN DOESN'T EVEN NEED TO BE CHECKED UNTIL 150,000.

TRANMISSION JERK TO CHANGE GEAR THEN DROP INTO LOW GEAR ,STOP PULLING.

STABILITRAK CONTINUES TO POP UP AFFECTING SED ETC I HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $2000 REPLACING PARTS AND IT CONTINUES

BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRACTION SYSTEM STALIBAK NEED HELP GETTING IT FIXED IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

RANDOMLY MY CAR WILL HAVE PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS USING GOING INTO 3RD GEAR AND THE RPM WILL SHOOT UP. ALSO WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE IT HESITATES AND THEN STARTS SPUTTERING. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT IT STARTED SHIFTING NORMALLY BUT ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHEN I'M ON THE CITY STREETS OR ON THE INTERSTATE. I WONDER WHY THERE HAVENT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS BECAUSE I SEE THERE'S OTHER OWNERS GOING THROUGH THIS AND I HAVE LESS THAN 101,000 MILES ON MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TWO CHILDREN SEATED IN THE THIRD ROW SEATS WAS INJURED DUE TO THE SEAT BELT NOT RETAINING THEIR FORWARD MOTION.

THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE CRASH.THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. TF

TRACTION CONTROL/STABILINK SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE WHICH SLOWES THE VEHICLE DOWN. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR ONTO HIGHWAYS WHERE OTHERS ARE TRAVELING AT FAST RATE OF SPEED. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB WHEN RESEARCHING 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE FOR PROBLEMS. THE VIN NUMBER OF MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL BUT SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED.

POWER STEERING STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. AFTER IT STARTED HAPPENING I READ ONLINE THAT ALOT OF CUSTOMERS BEEN HAVING SAME IASUE.

TRIED TO CALL NHTSA NUMBER FOR ASSISTANCE. IT IS DISCONNECTED. NEED TO UPDATE COMPLAINT NUMBER 11205680. DATE OCCURRED IS INACCURATE AND WANT IT TO BE ACCURATE IF QUESTIONED BY REPRESENTATIVE. ACCIDENTALLY PUT APRIL 19TH AS TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM DATE. IT WAS ACTUALLY APRIL 25TH. PLEASE UPDATE.

2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 130K MILES(TOLD IT IS IN KIL.) 2ND OWNER. ALL OIL CHANGES AND SERVICES DONE. 2 MAJOR ISSUES. SUV MADE LOUD NOISE AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF STEERING AND OTHER FUNCTIONS AND CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE ON A FREEWAY, GOING HIGH SPEEDS, WHILE TRAVELING WITH 3 CHILDREN. ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY 2 CARS. WAS TOLD BY GM SERVICE CENTER THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FELL OFF/MECHANICAL FAILURE DUE TO SKIPPING. OTHER COMPONENTS DAMAGED AND ALL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT FOR THE TIMING CHAIN TO FALL OFF. SEEMS TO BE A MECHANICAL DEFECT, NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. CALLED GM CS SEVERAL TIMES TO EXPLAIN RECENT ISSUES AND WORRY OF SAFETY AND RELIABILITY DUE TO MULTIPLE REPEATED TIMING CHAIN FAILURES ON SAME VEHICALS WITH SAME OWNERS ON 2010 AND NEWER TRAVERSE. TOLD BY CS NO WARRANTY NO RECALL SO CAN'T HELP. SERVICE MANAGER REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM GM FOR REPAIRS AND IT WAS DENIED. I CALLED GM AGAIN, WAS TOLD THEY WOULD COMMUNICATE WITH SERVICE CENTER AND CALL ME BACK LATER THIS WEEK. PRIOR THE POWER STEERING FAILED TWICE WITHIN MONTHS. REPAIRED POWER STEERING TWICE AS WELL AS POWER STEERING RACK. FIRST FAILURE WE ALMOST CRASHED WHILE ON A CIRCULAR ICY ON RAMP TO FREEWAY WITH 3 CHILDREN BECAUSE OF SUDDEN LOSS OF CONTROL. CALLED GM ABOUT POSSIBLE DEFECT AND CONCERNS FOR SAFETY. TOLD NO WARRANT NO RECALL. RECENTLY FOUND OUT THERE IS A SPECIAL PAYOUT FOR ISSUES. WAS TOLD WE COULD BE REIMBURSED. POSSIBLE UNDERLAYING UNDETECTED DEFECTS TO TIMING CHAIN AND POWER STEERING NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE FATAL CRASHES OCCUR.

STABILITRAK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS MANY OF THE WINDOWS, ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT AND STABILITRAK COMES ON, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THERE IS LOSS OF POWER THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECOND, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

CHECK ENGINE IS ON. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM AND THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE OFTEN WITH THE TRAVERSE. TIME FOR A RECALL

LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING THOUGH INTERSECTION. P0008 SET. TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 93000MI. GM CUSTOMER SATISFACTION #10287 FOR 10 YEARS / 120K MI APPLIES ONLY FOR 2009 MODEL YEAR BUT HAS SAME LLT ENGINE.

TIMING CHANGE REPLACED 06/26/2017 COST ME 2505.34 DOLLARS ONLY HAD 72896 MILES ALL I GOT FROM GM WAS SORRY THINGS DO WARE OUT CASE NUMBER #[XXX] LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

MY TIMING CHAIN IS GOING BAD WITH ONLY 104,000 MILES. TO FIX WILL REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE.

MY VEHICLE HAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND IS THROWING DTC CODE P0008 WHICH IS CAUSED BY PREMATURE WEAR OF THE TIMING CHAIN(S). THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND IN FACT THE SAME ENGINE HAS A "SPECIAL WARRANTY" ON THE 2009 TRAVERSE AND SEVERAL OTHER LAMBDA PLATFORM VEHICLES PRIOR TO 2010. THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE. THE SPECIAL WARRANTY CURRENTLY IN PLACE ON THE OLDER MODELS IS 11340-C. THIS CONDITION COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND STRAND THE VEHICLE - POSSIBLY IN A DANGEROUS PLACE WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MOVE IT.

TWICE IN THE PAST WEEK, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SOME SORT OF ISSUE WHERE IT SHUTS OFF THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND ALSO TRIGGERS THE BRAKE ALARM AND SAYS SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE AND AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF FOR AWHILE AND RESTARTING IT, THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE INCIDENCES HAVE OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS AND SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHEVROLET OF NAPERVILLE (1515 W OGDEN AVE, NAPERVILLE, IL 60540, (630) 324-0750), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE STILL COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A NEW ENGINE WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WARRANTIES ON THE VEHICLE WERE EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS FINE UNTIL I MADE A U-TURN AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. TH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $300 TO FIX. I PAID AND HAD IT FIXED THEN NOW TWO YEARS LATER , I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND IT STARTED LOSING GAS AND SLOWING DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. I TOOK TO MECHANIC AND IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN AGAIN!!!!! I HEARD THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL???? I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX SO IT'S JUST SITING IN MY BACK YARD!!!!

JUST BOUGHT 2010 TRAVERSE W/204XXX MILES. POWER STEERING PUMP STARTED LEAKING AT 205XXX. VEHICLE WAS OPERATING FINE. NO LEAKS, NO NOISES OR VIBRATIONS OR ANYTHING. DRIVE 15 MILES FROM HOME 1 DAY AND AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY, I NOTICED STIFF STEERING AND WHINING/GROANING WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. PROBLEM CAME ON SO QUICKLY. VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO TURN AND ALMOST WENT INTO THE DITCH WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED UNDER HOOD AND UNDER VEHICLE AND NOTICED I WAS SUDDENLY LEAKING STEERING FLUID VERY QUICKLY FROM PUMP. TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I HAVE A BAD STEERING PUMP. THEY RECOMMENDED I REPORT THIS ISSUE AS THEY NOTICED THAT THIS PUMP HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES RELATING TO MY MODEL YEAR AND SIMILAR MODELS REGARDING FAULTY STEERING SYSTEMS. UPON MY RESEARCH, I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS BLOGS AND POSTS FROM OTHER OWNERS VERIFYING THIS ISSUE. MILEAGE ON OTHER MODELS WAS 8XXX AND UP. WITH KIDS IN MY VEHICLE ALL THE TIME, THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS ABOUT CURRENT SAFETY REGULATIONS AND RECALLS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I SEEM TO BE AMONG NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE MILEAGE

I HAVE ANTIFREEZE IN THE ENGINE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FLUID. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE ANTIFREEZE IS IN THE ENGINE AND I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I ALSO PUT A POWER STEERING PUMP IN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES TURNING TWO YEARS INTO ME HAVING THE SUV. I BOUGHT THE SUV IN 2015. IT HAS BEEN INE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER.

TIMING CHAIN AS WELL AS CATALYTIC CONVERTER COMPLETELY DESTROYED AFTER THE TIMING CHAIN WAS INSTALLED BY A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP LESS THAN 1 YEAR GO. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON VEHICLE WENT INTO SAFETY MODE AND NOW WILL NOT START. CHEVROLET WILL NOT HELP COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 48000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. CHUCK FAIRBANKS CHEVROLET (629 N INTERSTATE 35 E, DESOTO, TX 75115, (972) 468-0463) DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER EXCLUDED THE VEHICLE FROM AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN AND RECOMMENDED HAVING A DEALER DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS PARKED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 10 MPH. WHEN I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEMB IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF TRAVERSE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY HAVE THEY NOT RECALLED. FOR THIS ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MILES PER HOUR, A MESSAGE YES IT SAID TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF SERVICE STABILITRAK. THEN IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED! THE VEHICLE QUICKLY WENT FROM 75MPH DOWN TO 30 WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE! I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE AND THE TRUCK BEHIND ME LOCKED UP HIS BRAKES AND STILL BARELY AVOIDED ME.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR TWO YEARS IN MY TRAVERSE AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHY. FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, WHEN FILLING THE TANK WE HAVE TO TURN ALL ELECTRONICS OFF AND THEN AFTER THE FILL WE HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL AND COAX IT INTO STARTING. AGAIN, LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THAT WON'T COST A FORTUNE, SO ADVISED TO CONTINUE DRIVING IF WHAT WE DO WORKS. FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON PERIODICALLY AND THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD. AT FIRST NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED, BUT THE LAST THREE TIMES WE DID LOSE POWER. I WENT DOWN TO 40MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THEN AT 21 BELOW LAST NIGHT WE COULDN'T GO OVER 10-15 MPH. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE IT NORMALLY RE-SETS WHICH IT DID LAST NIGHT AND WE FINALLY MADE IT HOME. THIS ENGINE POWER REDUCTION AND STABILITRAK ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PERIODICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE CAMSHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,500.

WHEN DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR AND FLASHED THE WORDS: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITY, REAR PARK ASSIST OFF, ENGINE POWER BEING REDUCED. 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.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. DRIVERS SEAT BELT NOT LATCHING COMPLETELY.

I CAME OUTSIDE ONE MORNING TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT STARTED BUT WOULDN'T STAY ON TOWED IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY TIMING CHAIN WAS NO GOOD

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO CHEVEY DEALER IN SOMERSET KY TO HAVE CODE PULLED. WAS TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED REPLACED. WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM BUT AFTER RESEARCHING FOUND OUT IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN AIR GOING OUT AND AIRBAG PROBLEMS. VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO REPAIR SO MUCH ON A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT YET.

HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED ONCE WE ONLY HAVE 80000 MILES ON TRUCK AND LIGHT IS ON A AGAIN GOOD MAINTENANCE AND GOOD QUILTY OIL OIL ONLY IN VEHICLE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME CODES SAY TIMING CHINE.

VEHICLE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I GOT OFF THE EXIT THE CAR STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE . I TRIED MAKING A RIGHT AND THE CAR JERKED AND ALMOST FLIPPED OVER IT'S THE THIRD TIME IT DOES THIS . THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I TRIED FIXING THE ISSUE ALL THREE TIMES AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING .

DRIVERS SIDE 2ND ROW SEAT BELT DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY LATCHED. AT 100,000 MI POWER STEERING PUMP WENT, MONTH LATER LOST CONTROL OF STEERING, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE RACK. 15 MONTHS LATER THE SEALS IN THE RACK HAVE BLOWN OUT AGAIN. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE SAFETY ISSUE! THE DEALER DID NOT SEE AN ISSUE AS HE LISTED 3 OTHER MAKES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. AT $1400 PER REPAIR THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE! ALSO INFORMED ONE FRONT STRUT HAS NO OIL AND THE OTHER IS LEAKING. MY CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IS A MONEY PIT. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT ON AN INCLINE WILL CONTINUE TO COAST BACKWARDS UNTIL YOU EITHER BREAK OR GIVE IT GAS, THIS IS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF DURING TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR WHILE MOVING. WORN TIMING CHAINS; TIMING CHAINS AND GUIDES REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF OLD CHAINS WHICH WERE STILL USED ON THE TRAVERSE BUILT IN APRIL 2010. CHEVROLET HAS MANY DOCUMENTED BLOGS OF THESE TIMING CHAINS BEING BAD BUT STILL USED THEM IN THEIR BUILDS.

VEHICLE HAS 140,000 MILES ON IT AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT AS WELL AS "SERVICE AIR BAG" SHOWING UP IN MY INDICATOR IS ON CONSTANT. MY MECHANIC IS STATING THIS FALLS UNDER AN EXISTING RECALL #15536, BUT YET MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT SPECIFIC RECALL SO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO REPAIR THIS. MY MECHANIC STATES THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS THE ISSUE. THIS LIGHT INITIALLY STARTED AS JUST FLASHING ON OCCASION, NOW IT IS ON SOLID, NEVER GOES OFF. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY VEHICLE. NO REASON AS TO WHY THIS WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOME AN ISSUE.

IT STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AND KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION MULTIPLE TIMES . ACCELERATES ITSELF OR FAILS TO PICK UP THE SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MANY FIXED AND THEY GO RIGHT IN THE SAME PROBLEM.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING HAPPENS ON TWO OCCASIONS. 1. WHEN AT A STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. 2. WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN.

WHEN YOU TURN A CORNER, PARK IN A PARKING SPOT, BACK UP THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ANYTIME YOU TURN THE WHEEL THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IT WILL COST OVER $2,000.00 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE "OIL PRESSURE LOW/SHUT ENGINE OFF" MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JAMES CHEVROLET OF JOHNSTOWN (108 S COMRIE AVENUE, JOHNSTOWN, NY 12095) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD BEEN REPLACED BY A DIFFERENT DEALER (KENT CHEVROLET/CADILLAC INC, 1413 HIGHWAY 62 E, MOUNTAIN HOME, AR 72653) ON AUGUST 21, 2016. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. *DT UPDATED 10/5/18*JB

POWER STEERING FAILURE AT LOW SPEEDS,AROUND CORNERS,WHILE PARKING,INTERMITENT.

CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ASSISTED POWER STEERING INTERMITTENTLY I WILL LOSE POWER STEERING WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS. EVEN THOUGH A 2010 TRAVERSE IS ON THE 14329A RECALL, MY VIN ISN'T ON THE RECALL.

STEERING AND SUSPENSION TIGHTENS SO THAT IT IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE. CAUSED A NEAR CRASH OF VEHICLE

THE MIDDLE BENCH SEAT BELTS WONT CLICK INTO THE BUCKLE PROPERLY, IT BECOMES LOOSE ON ITS OWN. PUTTING IN DANGER MY CHILDREN BECAUSE THEIR CAR SEATS CAN'T BE BUCKLED IN PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LEWISTON AUTO, 300 DEBRA DRIVE, LEWISTON, MN 55952) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

EVAPORATOR LEAKING. NO WORKING A/C IN CAR.

THE STEEL CABLE ON THE SUPPORT ANCHOR TO THE SEATBELT SNAPPED WHILE MY WIFE WAS FASTENING IT. THIS HAD A RECALL IN 2014 AND WAS FIXED ACCORDING TO RECORDS. CHEVROLET WAS CONTACTED SAID PROBLEM WAS FIXED, RECALL WAS CLOSED, THIS IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" THIS WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS PARKED AND GETTING READY TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.

STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT FROM TIME TO TIME. MORE OFTEN WHEN REVERSING OR PARALLEL PARKING

TAKATA RECALL FOR THE TIMING CHAINS. MY FAMILY AND I WAS ON OUR WAY TO CHICAGO WHEN I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS THE ISSUE AND WAS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE CARS.

DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK/LOCK AND THEN THE CAR SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RPM GOES TO ABOUT 7,000. THIS HAS KILLED THE ENGINE TWICE. GM HAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER 8-423-8930914. TCM, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NEUTRAL SWITCH HAD BEEN REPLACED AND NO CHANGE. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS - 75, 55,40,8MPH AND STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 30 TIMES IN THE 34 DAYS THAT WE HAVE OWNED IT. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES.

ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO ONE ATTEMPT TO GET INTO VEHICLE. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES WEEKS. ALSO HOOD LATCH LIGHT ON DASH COMES AND GOES.

WHILE DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER MY TRUCK STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED THAN SLOW DOWN AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO CUT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THAN THE ENGINE POWER STARTED TO REDUCE .WE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WE TOLD SEVERAL DIFFERENT CODES SHOWED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING UP RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WERE WILLING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT BIG AS OF NOW BUT IN THE FUTURE IF THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THEM PROBLEMS THEY WOULD SEND ME OUT A RECALL ON IT. MY PROBLEM IS HOW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS DO THEY NEED BEFORE THEY RECALL TIMING CHAIN FOR THE TRAVERSE. I FEEL THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IF THE TRUCKS WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS. A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN BE HURT BEING THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STOCKERS CHEVROLET (701 BENNER PIKE, STATE COLLEGE, PA 16801, (814) 515-9941) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE FAILED AND BLEW OUT FOUR CYLINDERS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TIMING CHAINS STRETCHED. REVIEWED ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. CHEVY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD GO OFF SOMETIMES. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN I WAS TOLD THAT MY STRUT WAS ALSO LEAKING. $3000 LATER I HAVE NEW TIMING CHAINS AND BREAKS, AND STILL NEED TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $1000 FOR THE STRUTS. I DRIVE MAINLY HIGHWAY TO AND FROM WORK. NO REASON TIMING CHAIN SHOULD HAVE JUST STRETCHED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

WE HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND WHEN TESTED WE RECEIVED SEVERAL DIFFERENT CODES. THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE AND RAN ROUGH. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT GM CARS INCLUDING THE ACADIA AND ENCLAVE. GM PROVIDES A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR SEVERAL MAKES AND MODELS FOR THIS ISSUE UNDER "SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #11340C", BUT NOT THE 2010 TRAVERSE.

2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TIMING CHAIN. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DECLINED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS

I HAVE HAD THE POWER TRAIN REPAIRED TWICE, ONCE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEN AT COST. I HAVE PAID MORE THAN $2K ON THE REPAIR AND YET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND A CHECK OF THE ERROR CODES REVEALS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED EMISSIONS TESTING AS A RESULT OF THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME ISSUES. THERE'S DEFINITELY A DEFECT WITHIN THIS MODEL YEAR'S ENGINE SYSTEM INVOLVING THE POWER TRAIN. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL. I CAN'T PUT OUT MORE MONEY TO FIX A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM THAT WILL NEVER BE FIXED. THE CAR SHAKES AS IF IT'S IDLE WHEN DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS OFF AND ON PROFUSELY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FEARING SOMETHING TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO WALDORF CHEVROLET. THEY ARE NOT COOPERATIVE WITH PROVIDING SERVICE DETAILS, ONE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM TO HAVE A NEW SYSTEM. AND THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL WITH UNDERSTANDING WHY THE POWER TRAIN CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE AFTER THEY "REPAIRED" IT. I DO HAVE A COPY OF THE REPAIR DOCUMENTS IT NEEDED. ALSO, ONE SET OF SEAT BELTS IN THE SECOND ROW HAVE FALLEN APART ON ITS OWN (MEANING THERE WERE BEING USED AS DESIGNED AND THE FASTENER JUST CRUMBLED)

OUR 2010 TRAVERSE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN WITH ONLY 63,400 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR REPAIR COST- CHEVY DEALER ESTIMATE OF $4364! THIS IS A DOCUMENTED AND ADMITTED DEFECT BY GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE 2009 MODEL YEAR TRAVERSE. OUR VEHICLE IS AN EARLY 2010 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE (BUILT SEP 3, 2009 AND PUT INTO SERVICE JAN 4, 2010). GM IS AWARE OF THIS WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND HAS NOT ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO USE THE REMOTE START (DURING WINTER IN MN!) BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISABLES THIS FEATURE.

2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE BEING DRIVEN BY SON. INITIAL FAILURE OCCURRED AT STREET SPEEDS. THE CAR COULD BE STEERED WITHOUT POWER BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER WAS INFORMED OF SOUNDS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 133,000 MILES (2-3 YEARS AFTER SOUNDS REPORTED TO DEALER).

THE AC IS HISSING AND SMOKE IS COMING OUT OF THE VENTS I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AS I SEE THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES!

IN 2014, I HAD THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. GM COVERED ALL BUT $1,000 OF THE REPAIR. NOW AGAIN, 4 YEARS LATER, AND 40,000 MILES ON THE TIMING CHAIN THAT WAS REPLACED, I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. DEALER SAYS TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM OVER THE 5 YEAR, 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, SO THEY TELL ME IT WON'T BE COVERED AND IT WILL ALL BY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW, AND WE THE CONSUMERS ARE EXPECTED TO FOOT THE BILL. IT'S NOT FAIR, AND NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR TIMING CHAIN WARRANTY FROM TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THE EXTENDED SERVICE 11340-C. OR DO A COMPLETE RECALL!!! HOW THERE HASN'T BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT YET IS BEYOND ME....

VEHICLE HAS 89K MILES AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PER DIAGNOSTIC CODE AND MECHANIC, VEHICLE NEEDS NEW TIMING CHAIN. THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST UP TO 120K MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE GM TIMING CHAINS USED AT THAT TIME AND GM WILL NOT WARRANTY/PROVIDE SPECIAL COVERAGE TO MY VEHICLE. IF I DRIVE THE VEHICLE (WHICH I WILL NOT) IT CAN STOP RUNNING AT ANY TIME AND THE TIMING CHAIN CAN BREAK WHICH WILL BLOW THE ENGINE. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JAMES MARTIN CHEVROLET (6250 WOODWARD AVE, DETROIT, MI 48202, 313-875-0500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 50 MPH IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 40 DEGREES, THE "SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWERING SLOW" MESSAGE WOULD DISPLAY AND THE SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY REDUCE TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (HUBLER CHEVROLET IN RUSHVILLE, IN) WERE NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

P008 P0017 SAME PROBLEMS WITH EARLIER YEARS. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AS WELL. DRIVING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TO SHOW THESE CODES. COST FOR REPAIR IS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY.

THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH CAR SINCE WE BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2010 FROM THE COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED TO 3 ENTIRE BRAKES REPLACED, TO TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, TO TRACKTION STILBILITY CONTROL LIGHTS FAILING, TO POWER STEERING PUMP , TO FAULTY CONTROL BOX ISSUES, REPLACEMENT OF WINDOW SHIELD WIPER MOTOR, AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING MODULE. MOST OF THIS UNDER WARRANITY OR NOT COVERED STILL AT ALL IN FIRST 4 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CAR. ITS LITERALLY A PILE OF JUNK. SO MANY SAFETY ISSUES THAT GM WONT LIST AS A RECALL. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT STILL FAIL DO ANYTHING. THE DEALER SHIP HERE IN WALDORF MD, TO CONCEAL WHAT THEY DID LATELY TO MY CAR IN DAMAGING THE FRONT SHOCKS AND STRUTS WOULDNT EVEN GET ON THE PHONE WITH A CONFERENCE CALL WITH ME INSTEAD REFUSED TO TALK TO ME AND ALSO BAN ME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHICH LEADS TO MORE SUSPICION THAT THEY ARE HIDING THE TRUTH THAT THEY DID SOMETHING TO DAMAGE MY CAR. THIS IS THE ONLY DEALER IN TOWN TOO. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST COMPLAINT. DONT BUY THIS CAR. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, A LEMON.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEARLER IN WALDORF MARYLAND WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR I NOTICED THE FRONT END WAS DOWN, I DROVE LIKE I WAS ON A TRACTOR. IT WAS NOT THIS WAY WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF. I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT CAN VOUCH FOR THIS. THE DEALER SHIP NOR GM WILL GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THE ASST SER MGT SAID IF THE MECHANIC FAILED TO SAY SOMETHING HE APOLOGIZED . WHEN ON THE PHONE WITH GM THE DEALER SHIP WOULD NOT TALK TO ME ON THE PHONE FOR AN EXPLAINTION BUT SAID WE DID NOTHING TO YOUR CAR BUT WOULD NOT RALK ON THE PHONE ONLY PROVING TO BE HIDING SOMETHING OF THE TRUTH.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. FIRST IT STARTED WITH A WARNING LIGHTS OF THE STABILIZING TRACK BEING TURNED OFF AND MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON. ON 2/18/2018 MY REDUCE ENGINE WARMING POPPED ON WHILE I'M DOING 75MPH AND MY CAR LOST POWER WHILE I'M ON THE CALIFORNIA FREEWAY, SHAKING AND SLOWING COMPLETELY DOWN. I'M PREGNANT AND I WAS SCARED THAT SOMEONE COULDN'T OF JUST SLAMMED RIGHT INTO ME. I PULLED OVER TO SHUT DOWN MY VEHICLE TO TRY TO RESET IT BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. ALL THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PAST 40MPH WHILE SPUTTERING ON MY WAY TO WORK. I BOUGHT THE SUV USED TWO YEARS AGO WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY. I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT ANY RECALLS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT'S VERY UPSETTING SINCE THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR AND MY SELF AND MY KIDS ARE IN IT 99% OF THE TIME AND MY JOB IS 70 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STUD ON. I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR ANY MAJOR REPAIRS. ESPECIALLY ONE THAT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND GM IS AWARE OF.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYS THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING COMES ON, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW AT ANY TIME (VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ON THE FREEWAY). THE THROTTLE NEEDLE AND CAR SHAKES AND CAR WILL CUT OFF AND STALL TO TURN ON AGAIN.

ENGINE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOT AT WORK.

EVERY TIME WHEN IT'S REAL COLD OUT AND I'M DRIVING MY STABILITRAK COME ON AND MY ENGINE REDUCED POWER CLEAN THROTTLE BODY ALREADY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS HERE'S A RECALL ON THROTTLE BODY FOR A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE NEED TO CALL CHEVY DEALER AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE PARKING AT LOW SPEED. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING DIAGNOSTICALLY WRONG WITH IT. VERY DISCONCERTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8-3752702765. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 138,000.

AT ROUGHLY 130000 MILES, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE OF A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WAS ON. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DUE TO MY TIMING CHAINS. I HAVE KNOWN OF ANOTHER CASE OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN A VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ENGINE AS MINE THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE FIXED AT LEASE 12 VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM IN THE LAST YEAR.

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.

EVERYTIME WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED, IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE. EVEN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS BARELY TURNED.

AT 90,000 MILES, A P0008 CODE CAME UP AND THE ENTIRE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $2870.00 BECAUSE THE ENTIRE MOTOR HAD TO BE DROPPED. IF THE VEHICLE WAS A 2009, THEY WOULD HAVE REPAIRED IT UNDER WARRANTY BUT BECAUSE IT WAS A 2010, CHEVY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

PREMATURE STRETCHING OF THE TIMING CHAIN. THIS IS A DOCUMENTED AND ADMITTED DEFECT BY GENERAL MOTORS FOR THE 2009 MODEL YEAR TRAVERSE VEHICLES, SERVICE BULLETINS 10287C - APRIL 2012 AND 11340A - MAY 2012. OUR VEHICLE, WHICH IS LABELED AS AN EARLY 2010 MODEL YEAR VEHICLE (BUILT IN OCTOBER 2009) WAS BUILT IN THE SAME FACTORY (SPRING HILL, TN) AND WITH THE SAME COMPONENTS (3.6L V6 ENGINE) AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE BULLETINS BUT WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE EXTENDED COVERAGE. OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED IN THE SPECIAL PROGRAM.

MY ACCELERATOR WENT TO THE FLOOR AND STUCK TWICE IN ONE DAY. ONCE UPON STARTING AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I TRIED TO BREAK BUT IT DIDN'T WORK SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WAITED FOR IT TO WIND DOWN. IT WENT FROM ABOUT 65 MPH TO ABOUT 80 WHILE STUCK.

IN 2015, OUR VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING WEIRD SOUND ON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. ACCELERATION WOULD RAMP SLOWLY OR STALL SPORADICALLY WHILE IN MOTION. 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. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS A STRETCHED INTERNAL TIMING CHAIN.

TIMING BELT AND CENSORS/

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON AT 79,000 MILES

TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED APR 2015 AT 60,380 MILES, TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN OCT 2017 AT 77,689 MILES, MAJOR PART OF ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS QUICKLY, TIMING CHAIN IS DEFECTIVE? MAY HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF POWER, AT HIGH SPEEDS DURING FREEWAY DRIVING, WITH POSSIBLE DEVASTATING RESULTS, FOUND NUMEROUS ARTICLES ONLINE DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM

TRAVELING APROX 55MPH. LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING POWER. VEHICLE ENDED UP IN A DITCH AND NOW NO LONGER RUNNING. ACCIDENT CLAIM MADE WITH GEICO.

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO TIMING CHAIN AND CRANKSHAFT FAILURE. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED CONTACTING GM AS IT WAS KNOWN FAILURE AND ISSUE. GM WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO PROVIDING ANY ASSISTANCE.

SOON AFTER PURCHASING MY 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IN JANUARY OF 2017, I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST TO HAVE IT SERVICED. THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS ABOUT TO FAIL AND IT NEEDED MAJOR WORK. I CONTACTED A LOCAL GM DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND TO SEE IF I SHOULD HAVE IT SERVICED BY GM STAFF. THEY SAID THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND I SHOULD HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST, BUFFOMATIC TRANSMISSION SERVICE, DO THE WORK. I DID SO AND BUFFOMATIC FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAVE PLATE HAD FAILED CAUSING OTHER COMPONENTS TO ALSO FAIL COSTING ME $4860.00. I DID SOME RESEARCH, WHICH WAS CONFIRMED BY BUFFOMATIC, THAT THIS WAVE PLATE PROBLEM IS COMMON IN GM TRANSMISSIONS AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON OTHER GM MODELS BUT NOT THE TRAVERSE. I SENT REQUESTS TO BOTH THE DEALER AND GM DIRECTLY THAT THIS RECALL BE EXTENDED TO MY TRAVERSE. BOTH DENIED MY REQUEST. I AM THEREFORE APPEALING TO NHTSA THAT GM BE REQUIRED TO HONOR THE WAVE PLATE RECALL AND REFUND ME THE $4860.00 I PAID FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. THANK YOU.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN CAR. CODE STATED THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE I FOUND WHERE GM RECALLED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES TO INCLUDE CHEVY TRAVERSES DURING THE 2010 MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF FAULTY FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULES OR (CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES). GM RECALL, BULLETIN # 14515B. I SPOKE TO SEVERAL GM DEALERS IN TOWN WHO GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT HOW THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE OF FAULTY PARTS BUT AN "INFORMATIONAL BULLETIN". LONG STORY SHORT I HAD TO PAY 300 DOLLARS TO GET A NEW MODULE PROGRAMMED. THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE IF I WOULD HAVE LET THEM RUN MORE DIAGNOSTICS PRIOR TO FIXING THE ISSUE. I COMPLAINED TO GM WHO SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND REFERRED ME TO NHTSA. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE MODULE CAN BECOME CONTAMINATED BECAUSE OF WET CONDITIONS. ON JUNE 12, 2017 CHEYENNE WY HAD A VERY LARGE HAIL STORM THAT MY VEHICLE WAS CAUGHT IN WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND THE MODULE MAY HAVE GOTTEN WET CAUSING THE PROBLEM. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT GM RECALLED THIS SAME PART ON ALL THESE OTHER VEHICLES TO INCLUDE 2010 TRAVERSES BUT FOR WHAT EVER REASON MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS TO WHY THEY RECALLED ALL THESE OTHERS. I STILL HAVE THE FAULTY MODULE IF ANYONE WANTS TO CHECK IT OUT BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PART AND PART NUMBER WHICH WAS RECALLED. MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED MY MONEY FOR THIS REPAIR.

AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE MY OIL REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP, AS I WAS LEAVING I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE TROUBLE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT IN ROUTE HOME, AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE WHEEL (PULLEY) MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT TO WAIT BECAUSE THEY HAVE OVER 80 2010 TRAVERSE OWNERS WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM AND GM IS AWARE OF THIS SO LETS HOPE SOON THIS WILL BE RECALLED TO HAVE FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. IT'S BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS AND I HAVE YET TO READ OR HEAR ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEING RECALLED FOR SERVICE REPAIRS. I CAN'T TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHEN PARKING WITHOUT PLACING A HARD STRAIN ON MY BACK TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. PLEASE GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE SOON!! I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY OF FEAR THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO CRASH AND IT IS MY ONLY RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION.

THE STEERING RACK ON THIS VEHICLE WENT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE IN MANY OF THESE VEHICLES OF THIS YEAR. PRIOR YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT AS OF YET THE 2010 HAS NOT. THEY REPLACED MY STEERING PUMP AND TOLD ME THE RACK WAS GONE AND WOULD BE 1700 TO REPLACE. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AS IT IS UNSAFE. THE TIMING CHAIN IS ALSO GONE WHICH IS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL THAT CHEVROLET IS NOT DEALING WITH. ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT RENDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE IT IS OVERALL A VERY BADLY DESIGNED VEHICLE. MY MAJOR ISSUE IS THE SAFETY AND READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CAN NO LONGER USE THE VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND A SERIOUS FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN GOOD FAITH ACCORDING TO THE SAFETY RATING TO TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN AND FRIENDS AND IT IS NOW UNSAFE AND UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. I AM HOPING FOR A RECALL OF THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE READ THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED THIS EVENING IN MY 2010 TRAVERSE AS WELL AS SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL. AS I ACCELERATED MY FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WENT DOWN AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT WOULD SHOOT UP TO FULL. I AM ONE OF MANY TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WITH SPECIFICALLY A CHEVY TRAVERSE.

STABILITY TRAK, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. AFTER REPLACING BRAKES AND ROUTERS TWO WEEKS LATER STILL COMING WITH A STRANGE "FEEL" TO BRAKE PEDAL.

COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE OF MY 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AT 111,556 MILES. NEW ENGINE INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AT COST OF $7560.00. NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BY GM DESPITE REPEATED REQUESTS.

RECEIVED ENGINE CODE P0008 WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PURCHASING USED FROM RUSS DARROW DEALERSHIP

THE TIMING CHAIN AND THE CRANK SENSOR

AT LOW SPEEDS TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND IS DIFFICULT TO TURN. CANNOT ALWAYS MAKE A TURN AS EXPECTED AND MUST MAKE WIDE TURN INTO ON-COMING TRAFFIC BUT USUALLY ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. HAPPENS RANDOMLY. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR @ 1 YEAR.

RANDOMLY TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN GEAR AND WILL NOT SHIFT. STOP THE CAR, TURN OFF AND THEN START AND PROBLEM USUALLY CLEARS AND TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT NORMALLY. PROBLEM MAY CLEAR FOR A WEEK , A COUPLE OF DAYS OR MAY HAPPEN AGAIN ON RE-START. DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A PATTERN TO FAILURE. CAN HAPPEN AT START-UP OR AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AWHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. APPEARS TO BE STUCK IN A LOWER GEAR SINCE THIS HAPPENS @ 20 MPH. CAN HAPPEN ON HIGHWAY WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR CONSTRUCTION AND THEN TRY TO SPEED UP BUT CAN NOT - MUST PULL OVER AND RE-START CAR.

TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK AFTER ABOUT 3RD GEAR AND DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT CAUSING VEHICLE TO JERK VIOLENTLY AND DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, HAPPENS ONCE IN A WHILE OUT THE BLUE WHEN DRIVING ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS. ALSO HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER VEHICLES SAME MAKE AND MODEL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR FUTURE PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPANY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PHILLIPS CHEVROLET (9700 W LINCOLN HWY, FRANKFORT, IL 60423 (815) 469-2323) FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE CHECK. THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT LOCATE ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. ...UPDATED 11/15/17 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,508.

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT TO HIGHER GEARS WHEN I ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. THAT SOMEHOW "RESETS" THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE BEHAVES NORMALLY AFTER THAT. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. FRUSTRATING THING IS THAT MECHANICS HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN ONCE. THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO ID WHAT'S WRONG. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. I'M TELLING THEM EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. AND THE CAR'S COMPUTER DOESN'T KICK OUT AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL KINDS OF ROADS. MY CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. IF I DON'T PULL OVER TO "RESET" THE ENGINE, I GET A HOT METAL SMELL FROM THE ENGINE. VERY FRUSTRATING....THE MECHANICS HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO START LOOKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. I'VE GONE TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY'RE ALL GRASPING AT STRAWS.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A SHOP, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE CODES INDICATE THAT YOUR TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT COVER THE 2010 MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN CORRECTED WITH BETTER PARTS, BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THE 2007,2008, AND 2009 MODEL YEARS.

POWER STEERING FAILS WITHOUT WARNING WHEN MAKING TURNS, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THEN AS QUICKLY AS IT FAILS, IT WILL RETURN AGAIN. THE CAR NOW HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT, BUT THIS ISSUE STARTED WHEN IT ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT, AND WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTEE. 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AS THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR IS PROPERLY FILLED. THE DEALER ACTUALLY TOLD US 'IT'S JUST TIME FOR A NEW CAR GUYS.' WE HAVE SPOKEN IN PERSON TO TWO OTHER OWNERS OF TRAVERSES AND THEY DESCRIBE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

SINCE MAY 2017 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WHERE THIS CAR WILL RUN PERFECT ALL DAY AND WHEN I SHUT IT OFF AND GO TO GET BACK IN IT IT WILL NOT START. IT IS LIKE IT IS DISABLED. BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MONTHLY AND WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS LAST TIME I WAS GETTING TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND THE MECHANIC HAD FINISHED FIRST PART AND ASKED ME TO START IT AND GOT NOTHING. ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON IT WILL NOT START TRIED SEVERAL TIMES HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF GARAGE AND CALL A TOW TRUCK AGAIN. DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. IN JULY WE REPLACED THE STARTER AND A BATTERY CABLE AND AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND PARKED IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING.

AT 68,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $3200 TO FIX. DOING SOME RESEARCH (OBD2 CODES P0008 AND P0009) THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE, SPANNING MANY MODELS AND MODEL YEARS.

MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS BUILT IN SPRING HILL TENNESSEE FACILITY IN 2009. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AT THE END OF FEBRUARY 2010. MY VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED PER MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTIONS, OIL WAS ALWAYS CHANGED, USUALLY AROUND WHIT 40% OF OIL REMAINING AND ALWAYS BEFORE THE OIL LIFE WAS EXHAUSTED. AT ~91000 MILES CAR DISPLAYED INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE SIGN WHICH BECOME PERMANENT AROUND ~94,000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO MECHANIC WHICH SHOWED MULTIPLE ERRORS, AFTER FIXING CAMSHAFT SENSOR THE CHECK ENGINE SIGN REMAINED AND MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAVE DRIVE CHAIN ERROR. THE ENGINE STARTED LOSING POWER, FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER I BOUGHT FROM, WAS TOLD CAR HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES INCLUDING CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND STARTER, RUSTED LEAKING Y-TIES BUT MOST EXPENSIVE WAS TIMING CHAIN AT ABOVE $2300. BOTH I AND DEALER CONTACTED GENERAL MOTOR CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE. AFTER TAKING MY INITIAL CALL, GM ASSIGNED CASE TO A SERVICE ADVISER WHO NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. SHE APPARENTLY RETURNED DEALER SERVICE MANAGER'S CALL AND ADVISED HIM TO OFFER ME $1000 DISCOUNT AT DEALER'S EXPENSE WHO ADVISED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT GM, AS MANUFACTURER OF DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. GM REFUSED ANY HELP WITH THE REPAIR OF VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THE TIMING CHAIN IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE..

HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2010 TRAVERSE. EVERY TIME I TURN ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M TRYING TO PARK THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN LIKE IF THE VEHICLE HAD NO STEERING FLUID. IT'S PROBLEM THAT LOTS OF OWNER WITH THE SAME MODEL HAVE AND I THINK GM SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 78,000 MILES. DEALER INDICATED IT WAS THE DRIVE CHAIN NEEDED REPAIR ($2000-2500). THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED BY SPECIAL POLICY #11340B ' SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT ' TIMING CHAIN WEAR " IN 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE MODELS. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD EXCELLENT MAINTENANCE AND CARE, USUALLY BY THE DEALER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE AT ONLY 78,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON/OFF LATELY, CODES P0017 CAMSHAFT POSITION CORRELATION BANK 1 & P0008 ENGINE POSITION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE BANK 1.

THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING AT LOW TO SPEED ESPECIALY WHEN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION. I STARTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM AT AROUND 80 K MILES AND ITS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. NOW IT DOES THIS WHEN NOT DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHACED THIS VEHICLE., JBA CHEVROLET IN GLEN BURNIE , MD. I WAS TOLD THAT CHEVROLET WAS NOT COVEING THE COST OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR THE RACK AND PINION EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF TRAVESE OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM . THIS IS TRUELY A SAFETY ISSUE , NOT KNOWING WHEN YOU COULD LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER .!!!! AND IN MY CASE AT ANY SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED THEY WERE ALERTED BY ANOTHER DRIVER THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,196.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH IN AN ABOVE GROUND PARKING FACILITY, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEIZED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED THROUGH THE GATE OF THE PARKING FACILITY AND ALSO CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS CITED FOR RECKLESS DRIVING AND FAILING TO OPERATE A VEHICLE IN A SAFE MANNER. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST TOWED TO CALIBRE COLLISION AND THEN TO JOHN ELWAY CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 5200 S. BROADWAY, ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO 80113, TEL: (303)761-0333) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION WOULD BE FINALIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 861039. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,994. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AIR CONDITIONING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CANDLE CHEVROLET, EUGENE, OREGON) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN AIR CONDITIONING HOSE WAS NEEDED; HOWEVER, THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (CHEVROLET CADILLAC, BEND, OREGON) WHO ALSO STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,000.

THE AC SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. WE HAVE RECHARGED IT AND NOW IT IS GOING INTO THE MECHANIC NEXT WEEK FOR WORK. IT STARTED OUT WITH A HISSING NOISE, THEN WENT TO WHERE ONE SIDE BLEW HOT AIR AND THE OTHER COOL NOT COLD AIR, GOT THAT FIXED AND AC RECHARGED WORKED ALL LAST SUMMER AND NOW THIS SUMMER NOTHING NO AC HAD IT RECHARGED AND WITHIN 5 DAYS IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. FROM ALL OF THE RESEARCH WE HAVE DONE IT APPEARS THERE ARE A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE AC SYSTEM IN THE TRAVERSE AMONG OTHER CROSSOVER SUV AND IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. WE PURCHASED THE TRAVERSE IN MAY 2015 AC WORKED, 2016 RECHARGED IT AND FIXED THE BLOWER MOTOR AND NOW 2017 NO AC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (CHEVROLET CADILLAC OF GOLDSBORO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8/3034264137. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITHTRACTION CONTROL. CODE FOR CHECK ENGINE WAS P0008.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK,I START HEARING DINGS. I LOOK AT THE DASH AND IT TELLS ME THAT MY TRACTION IS OFF, TO CHECK MY STABILITRACK, AND ALSO THE BRAKE WAS ON. THEN ALL OF THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK OFF EXCEPT THE TRACTION LIGHT. NOW IT FEELS AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS BEING PULLED BACKWARDS AS I TRY TO DRIVE. DEFINITELY A LOSS OF POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (SEIDLE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 1141 E MAIN ST CLARION, PA 16214 814-226-8300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

AT 88,000 MILE I HAVE RECIEVED A P0008 CODE - TIMING CHAINS. THIS IS ODD TO HAVE STRETCHED TIMING CHAINS AT THIS MILEAGE. REVIEWING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 3.6 L ENGINES MADE BEFORE 2011. I CONTACT GM WITH NO AVAIL. BEING SUCH A COMMON COMPLAINT BY MANY WHY ISN'T GM STANDING BEHIND THIS PROBLEM?

POWER STEERING STIFFENS WHEN PARKING OR GOING AROUND CURBS AT LOW SPEEDS. ALMOST HIT VEHICLES IN A PARKING GARAGE CAUSED BY THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE TRAVERSE HAD 52K MILES.

2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0017. DEALER IS STATING IT IS A TIMING CHAIN, COST AROUND $2700. TRAVERSE ONLY HAS 101,000 MILES ON IT. MY CHEVY TRAVERSE SHOULD NOT BE NEEDING A TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. GM IS NOT BEING COOPERATIVE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. THERE ARE SPECIFIC AREAS IN THE COUNTRY WHERE GM IS PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR BUT IT IS VIN SPECIFIC. GM IS STATING THAT IF MANUFACTURED IN CERTAIN PLANTS, TIMING CHAIN IS A PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ENGINE! I HAVE HAD MORE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. I ONCE LOVED THIS VEHICLE AND THOUGHT GM WOULD TAKE CARE OF KNOWN PROBLEMS, NOW I KNOW THAT I AM WRONG. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THIS TRAVERSE USED WITH ONLY 7,000 MILES. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR, THE RADIO AND SCREEN WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND OPENING THE DOOR. IT WOULD REMAIN ON EVEN AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION ON AND OFF OR OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN USING THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROLS, DESPITE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT. I HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THE ISSUES WHEN RECENTLY ADDITION PROBLEMS HAVE APPEARED. FOR SOME REASON IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED OR PULLING A HEAVY TRAILER. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO PRESS HARDER ON THE GAS JUST TO MAKE THE VEHICLE GO. AS A RESULT, THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. ALSO, SUDDENLY THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR THE DRIVER BLOWS ONLY WARM AIR WHILE ALL THE OTHER VENTS BLOW COLD. THERE IS A CONSTANT CLICKING SOUND BEHIND THE DASH AND I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE A SECOND ACTUATOR. FINALLY, THERE IS A LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE LIKE IT IS STILL RUNNING AFTER IT IS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION ON AND OFF AGAIN FOR IT TO STOP. EVEN THEN, THE ENGINE FAN REMAINS ON, WHICH IT NEVER DID BEFORE. ALL THESE STARTED JUST AS IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT 80,000 MILES.

AT SLOW SPEED ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING GET SO STIFF YOU NEED TWO HAND TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. MOST TIME NOTICE THE PROBLEM AT 5-10 MPH. TURNING BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE OR FROM A STOP TO TURN ONTO A STREET.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DIM HEAD LIGHTS 3 TIMES IN A YEAR AND A HALF. FIRST THE PASSENGER SIDE GOES THEN WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS. I ONLY NOTICE WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT SO NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THEY BURN OUT BUT ALWAYS ONE AND THEN THE OTHER LESS THAN A WEEK APART. I BUY PREMIUM BULBS SO I KNOW IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE BULB MANUFACTURER..

CAR STEERING FAILURE AT STOPPED OR LOW SPEED (10 MPH) TURNS. NO ISSUE WITH TURN WHILE AT HIGH OR CRUISING SPEEDS. OCCURS ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS.

UNDER 35MPH, THE STEERING GETS VERY DIFFICULT, MAKING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, IN PARKING LOTS, EXITING AND ENTERING LOTS. AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN, UNTIL YOU ARE MID-TURN, CAUSING YOU TO USE EXTREME EFFORT TO MANEUVER. IT MADE ME VERY FEARFUL AND A BIT PANICKED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT, IF ONE WERE PENDING. IT HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AND MORE FREQUENT SINCE THE DATE LISTED BELOW

TL* THE CONTACT'S MOTHER OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S MOTHER WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE AND THE VEHICLE MADE A SQUEALING SOUND. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS NOTICED WHINING NOISE AND HARD TO TURN. AFTER INSPECTION BY AUTO SHOP THEY STATED THE SUV HAD A LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING RACK AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS LESS THEN 55,000 MILES WITH NO OTHER ISSUES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE TIMING CHAIN HAD STRETCHED AND IF LEFT UNREPAIRED COULD LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE ENGINE. THE REPAIR COST IS $3500. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 67000 MILES ON IT, AND HAS ALWAYS HAD ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES CONDUCTED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT 2007-2009 MODELS OF THE SAME ENGINE ON SIMILAR MODELS HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS MANY FORUMS THAT HAVE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THEIR 2010 MODELS. IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED IN THE 2010 MODEL YEAR, OR AT LEAST NOT IN CERTAIN RUN OF THE ENGINE. WHETHER THE SAME BAD CHAIN WAS USED IN 2010 ENGINES OR THE PROBLEM THAT WAS DISCOVERED IN THE 2007-2009 MODEL YEARS, WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL AFTER THE 2010 MODELS WERE BUILT, AND THEY WERE JUST NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS THE QUESTION. BECAUSE A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE WITH ONLY 67000 MILES TO HAVE A BAD TIMING CHAIN IS RARE, AS MANY DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS HAVE CONFIRMED. THOSE SAME SHOPS ALSO CONFIRMED THEY HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE TRAVERSE. ACADIA, AND ENCLAVE MODELS WITH THE SAME TIMING CHAIN ISSUE.

OUR 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WILL LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN MAKING HARD TURNS AND/OR TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION NEARLY EVERY TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WE HAVE LOST ALL POWER STEERING WHEN TURNING EVEN ON FIVE LANE HIGHWAYS, CROSSING VERY BUSY HIGHWAYS. WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS WITH A VEHICLE BEFORE THIS ONE. WE ARE REPORTING IT TODAY, BUT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING SEVERAL TIMES WITH OUR TRAVERSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED TODAY 04/21/2017 AND I NOTICED THAT IT IS ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING ITSELF. WHEN I TOLD THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE I DROVE IT JUST 3 HOURS IT IS MY OWN PROBLEM TO OWN. NOW AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS IT MAY GO OVER THE UNCONTROLLABLE SPEED OR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING DISASTERS.

TIMING CHAIN IS BAD IN 2010 TRAVERSE WITH APPROXIMATELY 99000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEA. GM ISSUES A RECALL FOR.2009 BUT NONE.FOR.2010. SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE IS DANGEROUS.

THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN OFF OR REMOVE DUE TO LACK OF SIGNAL FROM TRANSMISSION

STEERING IS STIFF AND VERY HARD TO TURN AT LOW SPEED OR STOPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE.

I HAVE 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THIS CAR GOT A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE. TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED OUT AND ENGINE RUNS ROUGH WITH MULTIPLE MISFIRES AND NOISE. I TOOK THIS CAR TO DIAGNOSTIC AND DEALER DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRM EXISTING PROBLEM WITH TIMING CHAIN. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT GMC EXTENDED A WARRANTY TILL 10 YEARS/120000 MI FOR 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. BUT THEY SAID THAT MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MADE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS. THIS IS NOT FAIR AND NOT RIGHT. IT DOESN'T MATTER FROM WHAT PARTS WAS MADE ENGINE IN MY CAR. THE FACT IS THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE WHAT QUALIFY FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE ISSUE WITH TIMING CHAIN WAS NEVER FIXED ON 2010 MODEL YEAR AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THIS KIND OF SITUATION. I'D LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT WILL GO TO THE COURT. GMC REPRESENTATIVE PLEASE CONTACT WITH ME TO RESOLVE IT. THANKS, [XXX] *DL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

I WAS INFORMED THAT MY STEERING SYSTEM IS FAILING IN MULTIPLE PARTS. THIS WAS NO SURPRISE TO THE MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THESE VEHICLES. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY REPAIR BUT IT CAN ALSO BECOME A HAZARDOUS CONDITION DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITRAC SENSOR INDICATORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND THE SPEED REDUCED TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAD BECOME DAMAGED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000. UPDATED 06/07/17*LJ UPDATED 08/08/2017*JS

THERE IS A STEERING WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE FOR DEFAULT IN STEERING UP TO 150,000 MILES. I'VE OWNED MY CAR LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT WASN'T UNTIL IT BROKE AND I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT FIXED THAT I BECAME AWARE OF THE WARRANTY. I'M NOW 6000 MILES OVER AND HAVE NO VEHICLE. I REALIZE I'M OVER THE MILEAGE A LITTLE BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WASN'T A FULL RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS IN THE FIRST PLACE!HOWEVER I FEEL CHEVROLET SHOULD HELP COVER A DECENT PORTION OF THE REPAIR. IS THERE ANYTHING THING YOU CAN DO TO HELP. IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE PROCESS. AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. IT ABOUT SLUNG ME INTO A DUMP TRUCK WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING AND THEN WOULD HARDLY TURN AT ALL EVEN IN A SLIGHT CURVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS FASTENING THE SEAT BELT, THE LOWER ANCHOR CABLE DETACHED FROM THE SEAT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT INTERMEDIATELY WHILE DRIVING ON TURNS. THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VECHILE BUT PUT TODAY'S DATE AS THE DATE OF ISSUE.

TIMING CHAIN IS OUT OF SYNC. MECHANIC STATES THAT ERROR CODES ARE CAUSING THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE THAT ARE BASED AROUND SKIPPING/SLIPPING TIMING CHAIN. STATES THAT TIMING CHAIN MUST BE REPAIRED. IF TIMING CHAIN FAILS TO WORK CORRECTLY, ENGINE COULD SEIZE CAUSE THE VEHICLE FAIL UNEXPECTEDLY.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DIVING AT CITY SPEEDS, TOOK IT TO STEWART CHEVROLET AND THE SAID IT WAS THE P0008 AND P0017 TIMING CHAIN AND CRANK CAMSHAFT. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT THIS IS OCCURRING . 1ST WAS AT 60,929K AND SECOND WAS AT 81,781K THEY WANT BETWEEN $3,000 TO $9,000 TO REPAIR AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T OCCUR AT NEXT 20K, GM ARE NOT STANDING BY THERE PRODUCT NOR IS STEWARD.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR MOTOR LIGHT AND OIL CHANGE. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY TIMING CHAIN WAS SOME WEAR AND NEEDS CHANGING. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THESE CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALL THE TIME AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THEM. IT WAS FOR THE 2009, BUT A LOT OF THE 2010 HAD THE SAME CHAIN AND ISSUE AS THE 2009. OF COURSE THE DEALER IS NOT GONG TO AGREE TO ANYTHING. THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS 2800, JUST TO CHANGE THE BELT AS PRECAUTION. THIS IS PRICE GOUGING WHEN THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE. I NEED HELP...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE MAKING A TURN AND WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 169,325.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 169,539.

SEVERAL MALFUNCTION INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CONTINUE TO APPEAR ON THE DRIVER CONSOLE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THEY WARN "SERVICE STABILITRAK" ; "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" ; AND, "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" THESE MALFUNCTION ALERT ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A SEVERE DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND NO RESPONSE OR VERY MODEST RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. THIS ISSUE HAS PRESENTED ITSELF FOUR (4) SEPARATE TIMES IN 2016 AND 2017 WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON HIGHWAYS (3 TIMES AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH) AND ALWAYS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING (32 DEGREES). GM HAS NOTIFIED ME OF THIS ISSUE IMPACTING CARS OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE ON BOARD COMPUTER (OBC) CLEARS AFTER THE 3RD RESTART (ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP) AND PROOF OF THE ERROR VIA THE OBC IS WIPED OUT (ONLY LEAVING ME WITH VIDEO AND PICTURES, WHICH GMC WILL NOT HONOR IN ITS REPAIR PROTOCOL). AS STATED, THIS REOCCURRING ISSUE IS BEING EXPERIENCED AT HIGH SPEEDS ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AND THE CAR WILL QUICKLY THROTTLE DOWN TO SPEEDS OF 30-40 MPH -- WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN A HIGHWAY ENVIRONMENT (LIKE THE 495 BELTWAY IN WASHINGTON, DC). I TRULY FEAR FOR MY SAFETY IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND GMC IS COMPLACENT IN HAVING ME PROVE THROUGH THE OBC THAT THIS IS HAPPENING, AND THEN HAVING A DEALERSHIP RECREATE THE ISSUE. THERE A HUNDREDS OF REFERENCES TO THIS ISSUE AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS LONG BEFORE GMC REACHED OUT TO ME. GMC IS PLAYING GAMES WITH CONSUMERS AND ADVISING THAT THIS ISSUE DOWS NOT POSE TO SAFETY HAZARD. MY EXPERIENCES IN THIS VEHICLE ARE PROOF THAT THEIR CLAIMS ARE FALSE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE --- CONTACT ME --- GM'S PROTOCOL IS GETTING IN THE WAY OF ADDRESSING DANGEROUS VEHICLE ISSUES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THE CODE WAS INDICATING THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES AND HAS HAD EXCELLENT MAINTENANCE. THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURRED WITH 2009 TRAVERSES AND GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THOSE MODELS TO 120,000MILES/10 YEARS AND PAID FOR THE REPAIR. WHEN CALLING GM ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE 2010, WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WOULD COST US 3,200 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON VARIOUS SITES BY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. WE WERE TOLD IF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED IT COULD CAUSE EXTREME ENGINE DAMAGE WHEN IT BREAKS. GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT AROUND 82,000 MILES. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING US THE TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED AND NEEDS REPLACED. $2,200.00 TO REPAIR. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS VERY ISSUE WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE 2007-2009 MODEL YEARS. FOR SOME REASON GM IS NOT WARRANTING BEYOND THAT. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND INSTANCES WHERE THE CHAIN CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED CAUSING THE DRIVE SYSTEM TO LOCK UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STABILITRAC WARNING AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

GAS TANK DOES ACCURATELY SHOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT. THE FUEL GAUGE CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES. I WAS DRIVING AND MY MILE RANGE SHOWED I HAD 54 MILES WORTH OF GAS LEFT. I MADE A STOP AND THE CAR WAS IDLING AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR IT SHOWED I HAD 89 MILES WORTH OF GAS LEFT. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I GOT THE LOW FUEL WARNING MESSAGE. I HAVE WATCHED MY FUEL GAUGE AND MILE RANGE GO UP INCREMENTALLY WHILE IN PARK. THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME ISSUE AS A RECALL WITH LATER MODELS AND IT CAN CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF MY CAR STALLS OR SHUTS OFF BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AS MUCH GAS IN THE CAR AS THE GAUGE STATES.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

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.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN THE VEHICLE GETS WET FROM RAIN OR ANY KIND OF MOISTURE I LOSE ALL WARNING CHIMES, BLINKERS ON OCCASION, AND THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER AT TIMES. 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. WHILE DRIVING AROUND A BEND WITH THE DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WHILE MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR ON A TRIP. *TR

NOT SURE I SHOULD DO THIS BUT IT HAS OCCURED 2 TIMES BOW. MY TRAVERSE ECCELERATOR GETS STUCK DOWN AND YOU CANT ATOP. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IS PUT IN NUTRAL IF YOU HAVE THE TIME. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE MY WIFE DEIVE THIS. IT HAPPENED FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT THE OTHER DAY. THE BREAKS WONT WORM UNLESS YOU PUT IT INTO NUTRAL!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

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. IF PROBLEM HAD GOTTEN WORSE, VEHICLE WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVABLE. *TR

STABILITY CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION WONT WORK PARK AND NOW IT DOSENT WORK WHY NO RECALL TOO MANY COMPLAINTS.

OUR 2010 TRAVERSE HAS JUST OVER 91,000 MILES ON IT. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER TO HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER CAME BACK AND INFORMED ME WE NEEDED TO HAVE OUR TIMING BELTS REPLACED AND WOULD COST AT LEAST $3000 TO REPAIR. THE MORE I DUG INTO THIS DIAGNOSIS, I'VE COME ACROSS NUMEROUS POSTS FROM OTHER '09-'10 OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOME HAD EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS IN POWER WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND OTHERS HADN'T EVEN HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. THERE WERE SOME OWNERS THAT HAD TO HAVE THESE ITEMS REPLACED AT AROUND 60,000MI. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ALLEVIATE THIS COST, NOR ARE THEY IN A POSITION TO ISSUE A RECALL. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT WE MISSED THE 'WARRANTY PERIOD' BY A YEAR AND A HALF AND THAT THERE ARE NO 'SPECIAL BULLETINS' RELATED TO MY VEHICLE. I ASKED IF THEY HAD AN INCREASE IN OTHER CALLS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND THEY DENIED ANY KNOWING OF THIS. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE SEEING SUCH AN INCREASE IN THIS ISSUE THAT THEY KEEP AN INVENTORY OF PARTS ON HAND AND THEY PERFORM AT LEAST 3 TIMING CHAIN REPAIRS A WEEK. I'M FORTUNATE THAT OUR DEALERSHIP IS WORKING WITH US ON DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE COST, BUT GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ON THEIR END TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM OR WILLING TO HELP OUT.

I AM HAVING TIMING CHAIN ISSUES AS EVERYONE ELSE I HAVE SEEN OR READ ABOUT MY SUB ONLY 78,000 MILES AND GM WILL NOT EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER 1 YEAR AND PUT LESS THAN 18,000 MILES ON IT AND YET IT IS CONSTANTLY IN THE SHOP FOR COSTLY REPAIRS. I AM CURRENTLY WONDERING WHERE DRIVETIME SOURCES THESE VEHICLES FROM BECAUSE A USED CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE IN THE SHOP AS MUCH AS MY CAR IS ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVETIME'S CHOSED EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AEVEREX ONLY WANTS TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT THEY DEEM FAIR TO PAY FOR WHICH IS A DISADVANTAGE FOR A BUYER SUCH AS MYSELF. I HAVE CONSISTENTLY PAID MY NOTE ON TIME AND GOT THE RUN AROUND FOR 2 WEEKS ON THE LAST REPAIRS THAT AEVEREX TOOK THEIR TIME ADDRESSING. I DON'T MIND MAKING MINOR REPAIRS LIKE TIRES OR MAYBE A HOLE IN THE MUFFLER BUT TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TIMING CHAIN WITHIN A WEEK OF THE PURCHASE AND AN ENGINE FLYWHEEL AND STARTER IN BARELY A YEAR OF THE PURCHASE MAKES IT SEEM AS IF THESE CARS WERE BROKEN DOWN BEFORE BEING SOLD TO UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS SUCH AS MYSELF BY DRIVETIME AND THEIR REFUSAL TO ASSIST TO THE CUSTOMERS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED MAKES IT SEEM AS IF THEY WERE INTENTIONAL ON GETTING THESE DAMAGED GOODS OFF OF THEIR HANDS. I AM FILING THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AS MY CAR HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS VEHICLE IS A TRUE LEMON AND I ONLY WISHED THAT I HAD DONE MORE RESEARCH ON DRIVETIME BEFORE PURCHASING FROM THEM. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE WIPERS IN THE FIRST MONTH IN ADDITION TO THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIRES THE NEXT MONTH, FRONT BRAKE LIGHTS, BACK BRAKE LIGHTS, A FLEXPLATE, A FLYWHEEL, AND MULTIPLE OTHER REPAIRS. PLEASE RESPOND AND OFFER SOME TYPE OF ASSISTANCE.

MY 2010 TRAVERSE WITH 76,200 MILES DISPLAYED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD IT CHECKED AT A LOCAL PARTS STORE AND THE CODE WAS P0008. I TOOK THE TRAVERSE TO ORR CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SLACK IN THE TIMING CHAIN. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE IT WAS A 2010 AND OUT OF THE 5 YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. DESPITE THE FACT THEY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE 2009 MODELS BECAUSE THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON THE TRAVERSE AND GM SHOULD RECALL AND COVER REPAIRS. AS IT STANDS, I AM ABOUT TO PAY $2300.00 TO REPAIR WHAT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. GM MADE NO SIGNIFICANT DESIGN CHANGES TO PREVENT THIS DEFECT FROM CAUSING THE CHAIN TO GAIN SLACK AND CAUSE ENGINE ISSUES TO DEVELOP. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT 35 MPH WHEN IT INITIALLY CAME ON BUT CAME BACK ON AFTER BEING RESET WHILE SITTING IN THE LOT OF AUTOZONE. THE TRAVERSE SHOULD NOT HAVE SUCH A FAILURE IN ONLY 72,000 MILES, THERE IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IN MODELS LATER THAN 2009. THE DESIGN CHANGES IF ANY FOR THE 2010 MODELS CLEARLY DIDN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLES IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER, AND I DON'T HAVE THE ESTIMATE OR RECEIPT AT THIS TIME. *TR

POWER STEERING GIVES OUT WHEN GOING SLOW AND TURNING. LIKE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, OR TURNING CORNERS. DEAL SAYS THE POWER STEERING RACK IS LEAKING ON BOTH SIDES. THE CAR HAS 79000 MILES

EPS SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE NO POWER STEERING AT LOW SPEED OR WHEN ENGINE IS IDLING CANNOT TURN CAR AT LOW SPEED MAKES WHINING NOISE AT HIGH SPEED.

BLOWN ENGINE @. 55,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED.

POWER STEERING FAILS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS (PARKING ETC).

WHEN TURNING LEFT OF RIGHT AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED THE POWER STEERING FAILS FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE NOT NEGOTIATING THE TURN CORRECTLY. JUST LAST WEEK I WAS TURNING LEFT AT A STOP LIGHT TRYING TO STEER INTO THE INSIDE LANE; HOWEVER, THE STEERING WILL WOULD NOT TURN AS REQUIRED - RESULTING IN MY CAR TRAVELING INTO THE OUTSIDE LANE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I NOTICED THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES AND WOULD LIKE IT TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER.

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOES OUT AT LOW SPEEDS, WHEN COASTING, VERY HARD TO TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION UNTIL YOU START GOING, SLOWING DOWN FOR CURVES OR TURNS IT GOES OUT AS WELL, ALL ON NORMAL PAVED ROADS. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH WHEN GOING 45 MPH AND YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS TO COAST AROUND A CURVE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES SO STIFF I VEARED INTO THE OTHER LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC JUST FIGHTING THE STEERING WHEEL. HITTING THE BRAKES MADE IT EVEN WORSE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!

TIMING CHAIN DEAD AT JUST 106,000 MILES

STEERING WHEEL IS GETTING VERY HARD TO TURN AT TIMES BECOMES STUCK AND WILL NOT MOVE AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN

AT LOW SPEEDS 5-20 MPH POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING/VERY HARD TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT! VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS A TRAVERSE!!!!

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOWER RATES OF SPEED I KEEP LOOSING POWER STEERING. ESPECIALLY WHEN STOPPED TRYING TO MAKE A TURN OR TRYING TO PARK IN PARKING LOTS. VERY FRUSTRATING.

SLOW SPEEDS THE STEERING BECOMES CHOPPY AND UNRESPONSIVE

STEERING GOES IN AND OUT AT LOW SPEEDS. INTERMITTENTLY BECOMES VERY HARD/ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN TURNING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING SPACE BUT WILL ALSO SOMETIMES OCCUR WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN INTO TRAFFIC AND WHEN TURNING ONTO OTHER STREETS.

POWER STEERING HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN TRYING TO PARK OR LEAVE PARKING LOT. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP NOW FOR A > $1500 REPAIR. REPLACE BOTH RACK & PINION AND POWER STEERING PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOWER SPEED AND USUALLY WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND DOES NOT TURN. THIS HAPPENS WHILE TURNING BOTH DIRECTIONS, LEFT AND RIGHT. I LITERALLY HAVE TO PLAN MY TRIP TO MY DESTINATION ACCORDING TO MY STEERING WHEEL. I CAN NOT PARK BETWEEN CARS IN A PARKING LOT. I NO LONGER ALLOW TO MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVE ME CAR DUE TO THE STEERING PROBLEM. I THEN BEGAN READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVROLET CUSTOMER, ALONG WITH MY PARENTS. CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL MONTHS AGO ACCORDING TO ALL DOCUMENTED PROBLEMS. I ALSO READ THERE IS A COURT CASE ON THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEED TO GET MY STEERING FIXED AS I NO LONGER TRUST MY CAR DRIVING AND PARKING. I WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS STEERING ISSUE.

STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS PARKING MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR NAVIGATING A TURN THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND BODILY HARM AS WELL AS SERIOUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MANY OCCASIONS TAKING TURNS WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEED ENTERING A PARKING SPACE. I LOVE THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER SEEING THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS POSTED THAT CHEVY HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE . THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN! THE DEALERS DON'T EVEN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THEY ARE GOING FROM RECOMMENDING REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION TO RACK TO STEERING PUMPS ETC. LET'S NOT WAIT UNTIL LIVES ARE LOST OVER THIS AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST! SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. IF MULTIPLE SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED THEN YOU ARE AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM. SOMEONE PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING!

CAR STOPPED FUNCTIONING IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING. WAS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. NO STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES AND NO ENGINE. TRAVERSE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN AUG 2010 AND HAS APPROX. 55,000 MILES. NEEDS NEW ENGINE. HAD CHAIN ISSUES IN JAN 2015.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING. 9/30/2010 BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR GRINDING NOISE & VIBRATION, GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY INDICATED AS PROBLEM, REPLACED STEERING GEAR. 10/12/11- NOISE WHEN TURNING: REPLACED SPRING & RACK, 10/18/11 VIBRATION WHEN TURNING, POWER STEERING PUMP DETERMINED AS CULPRIT , REPLACED PUMP; 5/17/12 STEERING MAKING GRINDING NOISE, NO FLUID... REPLACED POWER STEERING FLUID; 5/19/2012 GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING WHEEL, AGAIN NO FLUID, INLET CLAMP LOOSE, RESECURED & ADDED FLUID AGAIN, 6/22/2016, INTERMITTENTLY WHEN GO TO TURN POWER STEERING LIKE A MANUAL STEERING, NO POWER STEERING FLUID, CHECKED, POWERING STEERING PUMP & STEERING GEAR DETERMINED TO BE CAUSE, $ 464 FOR REPAIRS! IF MY YOUNGER DRIVING AGE CHILDREN WERE DRIVING, WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

JUNE 2016, APPROX. 114,000 MI - FELT A LURCH IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC; FLASHED "SERVICE STABILITRAK," "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL," "BACKUP ALERTS = OFF". THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN TRAFFIC SPED UP, I REALIZED I ONLY HAD ONE GEAR AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60MPH. A SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THE INTERSTATE! SEVERAL HOURS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, BUT THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY -- STRAIGHT TO THE REPAIR SHOP, WHERE IT WAS DEEMED TO NEED $2400 IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR DUE TO THE FOLLOWING FAULT CODES: P182E & C0561. THEY WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION MODE SHIFT SENSOR AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED US THAT WE WILL EVENTUALLY NEED A $700 REPAIR FOR THE CONTROL ARMS IN THE REAR SUSPENSION -- GE HAS CORRECTED A KNOWN FAULT IN THE PARTS. ALL THIS IS ON TOP OF A $3000 REPAIR DONE IN APRIL 2015 AT 92,500 MI. FOR KNOWN STEERING DEFECTS. IN THAT CASE, AS THE TRAVERSE WARMED UP, THE POWER STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN. GM REPAIRED PART OF THE PROBLEM AT NO COST, REPLACING POWER STEERING PUMP AND GEAR HOUSING. ANOTHER MECHANIC COMPLETED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY THAT WAS ALSO PART OF THE PROBLEM. THESE ARE BOTH SUBSTANTIAL DEFECTS AND REPAIRS NEEDED IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS EXPECTED TO LAST MUCH LONGER BEFORE NEEDING MORE THAN ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE SHIFTING GEAR STOP WORKING WHEN PLACED ON PARK, THE TRUCK MOVES FORWARD OR BACKWARDS DEPENDING ON WHERE I PARK IT, THE PERSON WASHING MY TRUCK WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO STOP IT WHEN HE NOTICED IT WAS MOVING BACKWARDS WHEN PARKED UPHILL, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT POSSIBLY FATAL!

THE TIMING CHAIN HAS STRETCHED AND THE DEALER SAYS IT WILL TAKE 19 HOURS TO CHANGE IT. AUTO MFG WENT TO TIMING CHAINS FROM RUBBER BELTS, SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE IT. THE WARRANTY IS FOR 5 YRS OR 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE WARRANTY FOR THIS EXPENSIVE JOB SHOULD BE EXTENDED. ONCE THE CHAIN BRAKES, THE CAR IS DONE. THE CAR MAKES NOISE AND DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. FIRST NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR SO AGO. IT WASN'T UNTIL WE BROKE DOWN IN CANADA THAT THE DEALER THERE SAID IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN WHEN THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY.

MY VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. IT NEEDS A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP (RECALLED) AND NOW A NEW STEERING RACK. THE VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN PARKING LOTS AND ON THE ROADS. I THOUGHT IT JUST NEEDED A POWER STEERING FLUSH AND SO THAT WAS COMPLETED AT 50,000 MILES. THAT WAS AFTER I HAD REPAIRED A 700 ENGINE COOLANT HOSE.

AT 84000 MILES THE EMISSIONS LIGHT CAME ON YET NOTHING WAS A RED FLAG WHILE DRIVING. NO NOISES OR ANYTHING SEEMED DIFFERENT. HAD DIAGNOSTICS COMPLETED AND TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED AND NEEDED REPLACED. CODES P0008, P0009, P0017 APPEARED. COST $2500. OUR WARRANTY WAS UP AT 83000 MILES. SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM YET THE DEALERSHIP NEVER MENTIONED ANY OF THIS DURING THE SALE. GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS!!

MY TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT IN MY SUV. WHEN RESEARCHING ABOUT TRAVERSE TRANSMISSIONS I HAVE FOUND THAT EVERY YEAR MODEL THAT HAS BEEN MADE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY REACH 80,000+ MILES. CHEVY HAS A RECALL AND UPDATED WARRANTY FOR 2009 MODELS BUT NOT OTHER MODELS. I THINK A MAJOR RECALL NEEDS TO DONE ON THE TRAVERSE DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. IF YOU GO TO WWW.CHEVYTRAVERSEFORUM.COM OR EVEN JUST GOOGLE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HUNDREDS OF ANGRY CUSTOMERS COMMENT ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE WITH THE TRAVERSE'S TRANSMISSION.

APR.2015: VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLED, ENGINE LIGHT ON AT LESS THAN 60K. OCT. 2015: HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER TWICE AND REPAIR THE FLY WHEEL. REPAIR COSTS=$2,000. ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. TIMING CHAIN PROBLEMS, ADDITIONAL $2600 EST. COSTS. VEHICLE NEEDS INSPECTION AND WILL NOT PASS WITH CODES P0018-0007 STORED. NOT FAIR THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO INCURE THESE COSTS. GM SHOULD COVER THIS UNDER THEIR "SPECIAL POLICY" FOR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS. CURRENT VEHICLE MILEAGE 80K. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. ENGINE COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME.

VEHICLE KEEPS PULLING CODE P0008. GETS SLUGGISH AFTER ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. SEEMS THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2009 MODELS THAT WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING, ESPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING STIFFENS UP AND MAKE IT VERY HARD TO TURN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO AVOID GOING INTO THE OTHER LANE. THEN THE STEERING RECENTLY GAVE OUT COMPLETELY ON MY WAY TO WORK.

MAJOR HEADACHES WITH MY 2010 CHEV TRAVERSE WITH SO MANY ISSUES INCLUDING RECALLS AND THE TIMING CHAIN BEING REPLACED/REPAIRED RECENTLY. AND NOW, THE ENGINE FAILED....IT NEEDS A NEW OR REBUILT ENGINE. UNFORTUNATELY I'M BEYOND MY WARRANTY OF 5 YEARS / 100,000 MILES. COST WITH LABOR TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IS ABOUT $7,000 +. IT'S NOT WORTH IT AND I STILL OWE $4,800 ON THE LOAN. THE DEALER STATED THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE FAILED ENGINE, BUT I'M NOT SURE. I'M JUST FRUSTRATED WITH THE TRAVERSE.

I GOT A CARD IN MAIL FROM CHEVY STATING IF I WAS HAVING THROTTLE ISSUES TO TAKE IT AND A DEALERSHIP WOULD FIX IT. WE HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON A WEEK OR LESS THAN THAT BEFORE WE GOT THE CARD. THE CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES GONG OR BEING SLUGGISH. WE TAKE IT IN AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT WITHIN A DAY WE HAD THE ENGINE COME ON AND IT CONTINUED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY TRIED TO BLAME THE THROTTLE BODY BUT NOW SAY ITS THE TIMEING CHAINS AND IT WILL BE 1600+ JUST FOR LABOR. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAD BEFORE AND NOW THEY SAY WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN WE WERE THERE FOR THE FIRST TIME IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN WARRANTY UNTIL 98000 AND WE HAVE 96000 ON IT.

WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR STEERING RELATED ISSUES 4 TIMES. AT LOW SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING, MAKING IT HARD TO MAKE THE SLIGHTEST TURN. MORE THAN ONCE WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT THE END OF OUR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE COULDN'T TURN SHARP ENOUGH. AT FIRST THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS PART OF A RECALL, BUT AFTER FIXING IT 3 TIMES THEY DECIDED THE PROBLEM WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND CHARGED US $1400. ONE WEEK LATER AND THE CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING. WE ARE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN. I HAVE FILED AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY, WE'LL SEE IF THAT DOES ANY GOOD.

AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTER IT WAS EVALUATED AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP I WAS NOTIFIED THE TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT AND I HAD A GMPP EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE TIMING CHAIN. 6,000 MILES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED BY FLASHING REPEATEDLY AND THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATED AND STATED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DISINTEGRATED AND PIECES OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE. THEY STATED THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY CLAIMED TO CONTACT GM AND GM SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT IT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL. GM OFFERED TO PAY FOR $8,000 OF THE $10,000 TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I WAS ONLY OFFERED A 12,000 MILE WARRANTY FOR THE NEW ENGINE. NOW WITH 50,000 MILES ON THE NEW ENGINE THE TIMING CHAIN HAS GONE OUT ONCE AGAIN. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ISSUE WITH TIMING CHAINS WAS RESOLVED IN 2010 WITH THE NEW ECM; THIS ISSUE CONTINUES AS NOTED AND SEEN WITH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE.

THE STABILITY/TRACK LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM A MEETING. THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF TOO.

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE. DRIVER SIDE TRIES NOT TO GO DOWN. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT DAYS APART. PASSENGER HEAT DOES NOT WORK WHILE DRIVER AND BACK HEAT WORKS. TIRE GAGE SAYS REAR TIRE PRESSURE LOW WHEN IT MEANS THE FRONT. WHEN AIR IS ADDED THE NEXT DAY IT SAYS TIRE PRESSURE LOW AGAIN. POWER LIFT GATE FALLING. THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION WITH A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,360. UPDATED 05/20/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER A PRORATED WARRANTY, AS THE MILEAGE WAS UNDER 100,000. UPDATED 05/24/16.*JB

2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE THE VEHICLE ITS NOT CHANGING GEARS AT TIMES AND IT SLIPS. AT TIMES WHEN IT DOES NOT SLIPS, IT STARTS TO MAKE A LOUD MUFFLER SOUND WHILE DRIVING AND MY FOOT IS ON THE GAS AND ITS LIKE FORCING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. IN ORDER TO STOP THE SOUND AND SLIP, I SOMETIME HAVE TO PLACE CAR ON PARK AND THEN PUT ON DRIVE TO RE ADJUST. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIME IT DOES NOT. TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND STATE THAT THERE WERE ALOT OF CODES FOR THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR A TRANSMISSION THAT NEW(FOR A 2010). I THEN CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALER WHO STATE THAT THERE IS NO COMPLAINT REGARDING TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. PLEASE HELP AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAT IS ON THE VEHICLE WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS ISSUE SOMETIMES HAPPEN AND SOME TIME IT DOES NOT. THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE VEHICLE ALSO MAKES A SOUND WHEN TURNING. THE AC BLOWS, BUT THE FROM VENT ONLY BLOW AIR FROM THE BOTTOM AND NOT THROUGH THE VENTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS PART OF THE ISSUE OR A DIFFERENT ISSUE.

THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON MY 2010 TRAVERSE IS 74K... DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRACTION STABILIZER CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING, DOWN TO 45 MPH AND MORE. WHILE THE GAS PETAL WAS BEING PRESSED NO ACCELERATION WOULD HAPPEN. WENT TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACCELERATION CAME BACK. THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE THE TRACTION STABLIZER CONTROL/ABS STAYED ON WITH NO OTHER ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, UNTIL I ARRIVED TO WORK. WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, WHILE GIVING IT GAS IN REVERSE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD. PUT IN PARK, WAITING, THEN TRIED IT AGAIN. THE TRACTION STABILIZER CONTROL/ABS LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE JUST FINE. OVER THE PAS FEW MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ONLY WITH THE TRACTION STABILIZER/ABS LIGHT INDICATORS NO OTHER PROBLEMS. WE HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIND NO CODES. COULD IT BE THE SENSOR OR NOW COULD IT BE THE THROTTLE BODY??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RESTARTED BEFORE OPERATING PROPERLY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND YOU PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING AND NO KEY IS IN THE IGNITION! ALSO, WHEN RUNNING AND THE CAR IS PUT INTO GEAR IT CUTS OFF AND DIES...POSSIBLE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR? CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENS. EITHER IN A DRIVEWAY OR PARKING SPOT. CAR HAD TO BE JUMPED SEVERAL TIMES, ONCE RUNNING PUT IT INTO GEAR AND IT CUTS OFF OR YOU PUT IT IN PARK TO TURN IT OFF AND IT LETS THE KEY BE TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION BUT THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING. CURRENTLY AT WEBER CHEVROLET CREVE COEUR IN ST. LOUIS MO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE IDLING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I PURCHASED A 2010 TRAVERSE FROM MOLLE CHEVY IN BLUE SPRINGS 3 YEARS AGO. WE HAVE 61,000 MILES AND WERE SENT LETTERS TO GO HAVE MORE RECALLS AND "SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS" DONE. (CHEVY'S WAY OF MORE RECALLS WITHOUT CALLING THEM THAT) BESIDES MANY OTHER CODES, THIS WEEKS P0008 CODE IS A KNOWN TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. SINCE WE TOOK IT IN AND IT WASN'T ONE OF THE SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS, THEY MADE US PAY FOR THE $90 DIAGNOSTIC, WOULDN'T GIVE ME THE CAR UNTIL I PAID. OFFERED FOR "US" TO PAY AND FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COST WITH US, WENT FROM $2,700 TO $863, WHAT A DEAL! IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT! WHY SHOULD WE PAY A $1, WE ALREADY PAID FOR THE VEHICLE??? AFTER HOLDING ARE CAR HOSTAGE FOR THE $90 AND OFFERING FOR US TO PAY FOR GM'S FIX, WE HAVE DECIDED TO CHECK ALL REACALL'S AND BUY USED WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT. I REALLY HOPE THE PEOPLE GET A DOSE OF WHAT THEY GIVE IN LIFE. THEY HAVE THESE PEOPLE TRAINED TO SELL A LINE OF CRAP ALL THE WAY FROM PURCHASE TO END OF LIFE ON THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THEY ARE A NECESSARY EVIL, BUT BUYERS BEWARE, CARS ARE THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY, STRESS, AND TIME. THEY DON'T PAY FOR ALL YOUR TIME FOR THE RECALLS,WHY? BUY A CHEAPER USED CAR AND CHECK THE RECALLS BEFORE YOU DO. DON'T BUY NEW, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM YET. NO ONE LOOKS COOL IN AN COSTLY CAR WITH A TON OF ISSUES. LIFE'S TO SHORT. I WOULD SAY DON'T GO TO CHEVY BUT THEY ARE ALL SIMILAR TO A POINT. GOOD LUCK, MY TRAVERSE IS BEING SOLD THIS WEEK. SORRY TO WHOEVER BUYS IT FROM CARMAX. ALWAYS RESEARCH!!!!! ALWAYS BUY AT LEAST A YEAR OLD, GIVES TIME TO FIND ISSUES, 2 IS BETTER.

WHILE DRIVING OUR VEHICLE SOME SENSORS STARTING TO GO OFF AND WE STARTED LOSING POWER TO THE VEHICLE WHICH IN TURN CAUSED A HUGE AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE TRAVERSE WE WERE DRIVING SHOWED A TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK SIGNAL. IT BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN. IF WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WE WOULD HAVE WRECKED, LUCKILY WE WERE NOT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON MANY OTHER TRAVERSE'S AS WELL AS MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN THE CHEVROLET LINEUP, YET THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. I AM NOT SURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE OR IF SOMEONE REALLY NEEDS TO HURT BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE, BUT SOMEONE NEED TO MAKE THE RIGHT CALL BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID IT IS A KNOW ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT, WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RECALL HAPPEN, DOES SOMEONE NEED TO SERIOUSLY GET HURT? IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE ARE NO FIXES FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS JUST COSTING OWNERS, MORE AND MORE MONEY TO GET REPAIRS THEY DON'T REALLY NEED. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?

I AM WRITING YOU THIS LETTER TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS REGARDING MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE. ON AUGUST 6TH 2015, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR 55MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKS. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS PUT MY FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. OUR LICENSED MECHANIC TOLD US THE REASON THE ENGINE SEIZED IS A 'SPUN ROD BARRING.' WE WERE TOLD THAT A SPUN ROD BARRING IS A VERY UNCOMMON MECHANICAL ISSUE AND EXTREMELY UNCOMMON IN A CAR THAT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 71K MILES ON IT. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING REPAIRED TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE QUITE RUDE AND REFUSED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE MY CAR TO A CERTIFIED GM REPAIR SHOP. THEREFORE, I DECIDED TO SEND GM A LETTER EXPLAINING THE SITUATION. ATTACHED IS A COPY OF THE LETTER, MAINTENANCE RECORDS, AND PHOTOS OF THE SPUN ROD BARRING I SENT TO GM. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CALLED ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND VERBALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME OR EVEN LOOK INTO THE ISSUE BECAUSE 'I DID NOT TAKE MY CAR TO A CERTIFIED GM REPAIR SHOP FOR THE REPAIR.' I ASKED CUSTOMER SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES TO SEND ME THIS INFORMATION IN WRITING AND THEY REFUSED. TO REFUSE STANDARD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AVOID TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A POORLY ENGINEERED AND MANUFACTURED ENGINE SIMPLY BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE MY CAR TO A CERTIFIED GM REPAIR SHOP IS INEXCUSABLE. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN ASSIST ME IN RECEIVING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE IN MY CAR AND REQUIRING GM TO RECALL THE ENGINE. IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I HAVE MORE DOCUMENTS THAN THE WEBSITE ALLOWS ME TO SUBMIT.

AT SLOW SPEEDS IT BECOMES HARD TO STEER , AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY TRAVERSE JUST PULLED A P0008 AND P0017 ENGINE CODE. AFTER BRINGING IT TO THE MECHANIC, I HAD AN OIL FLUSH AND INDUCTION SYSTEM CLEANING. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE P0008 CODE WHEN OFF AGAIN. THIS IS SPECIFIC FOR THE TIMING CHAIN AND CYLINDER HEADS. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL AND WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 08-09 CHEVY TRAVERSES HOWEVER THAT HAS NOT TRANSFERRED OVER TO MY PARTICULAR MODEL YEAR. MY VEHICLE IS 1 YEAR OUT OF WARRANTY WITH ONLY 63,000 MILES ON IT. MY REPAIRS ARE TO BE AN ESTIMATED $4,000 - $6,300 BUT AM BEING OFFERED A 50/50 SPLIT THAT I FEEL IS STILL UNACCEPTABLE ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 63,000 MILES.

I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE GM DEALERSHIP FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM AND THE TECHNICIAN "DISCOVERED" A FAULTY/LEAKING STEERING GEAR BOX....TOTALLY REPLACED AT A COST OF $1386. NOW, FOLLOWING ONLINE RESEARCH, I REALIZE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND GM WOULD APPEAR TO BE CIRCUMVENTING REPORTING AND A RECALL BY HAVING INDIVIDUALS "PAY FOR THE FIX".....I WANT TO DOCUMENT THIS COMPLAINT AND MY PERSONAL ENCUMBERANCE OF THE REPAIR COSTS....THE DISCUSSION ONLINE POINTS TO A COMMON AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT WE HAD NOT "YET" EXPERIENCED, BUT ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIAN, MAY HAVE HAD A DANGEROUS ENCOUNTER AT ANY TIME!

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,999.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DETAILS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,827.

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 . TAKING TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC FOR A 2ND OPINION ON THE MOST RECENT INTERNAL MODE SWITCH DIAGNOSIS.

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?

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE COILS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH 67,000 MILES ON IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND DETECTS TIMING CHAINS. TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $3200 LATER HAD NEW TIMING CHAINS PUT ON. THERE IS NO WAY WITH THAT AMOUNT OF MILEAGE THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED YET. WHEN IS THIS RECALL GOING TO TAKE EFFECT!!!! ON TOP OF THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MARCH, SO NO HELP WHAT SO EVER..... GM NEEDS TO STEP UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STABILITRAC AND MOTOR POWER REDUCED INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, RESTARTED, AND RETURNED TO NORMAL FOR A FEW MILES BEFORE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

MY CAR COULD HAVE GOTTEN ME KILLED. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK,STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I MASHED THE GAS TO GO IT SAID STABILITY TRACK OFF ,MOTOR REDUCED. MY CAR LITERALLY WAS IN THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC COMING. THERE WAS NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF . ANOTHER DAY I HAD TO PULL OVER ON A FOUR LANE BECAUSE IT DONE THE SAME AND WOULDN'T GO. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHO HAS THESE CHEVY TRAVERSE.I HAVE LOOKED AT MANY REVIEWS AND THIS IS A BIG COMPLAINT OUT OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IT'S NOT SAFE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL MUCH LESS A FAMILY,BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO SHUT DOWN. NO SHOP CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM. I'VE HAD NEW TIRES,SENSOR,AND RESET AND IT DOESN'T WORK. PLEASE CONSIDER LOOKING AT ALL THE REVIEWS ON THESE CARS.

FUEL GAGE STARTED READING HALF FULL NO MATTER IF. TANK FULL OR EMPTY. DIGITAL MILES LEFT TO TRAVEL MATCH A HALF FULL TANK.

TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED AFTER 102,000 MILES; REPAIR IS $2500; GM EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007 TO 2009; THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS FOR 2010 BUT GM HAS NOT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY; OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY; TIMING CHAIN SHOULD NOT GO AFTER 5 YRS, 100K MILES. GM MUST EXTEND WARRANTY FOR THIS MODEL YEAR DUE TO THIS ONGOING DESIGN FLAW.

PASSENGER SIDE ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR.

STARTER FAILED; DIFFICULTY STARTING; INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER; POSSIBLE RECALL. COST $482.68

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V415000 (STRUCTURE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STEER/TURN AT LOW LEVEL OF SPEEDS USUALLY LESS THAN 5MPH THE STEERING IS VERY STIFF AND REQUIRES A LOT OF EFFORT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. I ALSO RECENTLY FELT MY STEERING LOCK UP WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY GOING AT A RATE OF 50-60 MPH.

MY TRAVERSE JUST PULLED A P0008 AND P0017 ENGINE CODE. AFTER BRINGING IT TO THE MECHANIC, I HAD AN OIL FLUSH AND INDUCTION SYSTEM CLEANING. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE P0008 CODE WHEN OFF AGAIN. THIS IS SPECIFIC FOR THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH IS DIRECTLY AFFECTING THE CAM AND CRANK POSITIONING (CREATING SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE AND POOR FUEL ECONOMY) APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL AND WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 08-09 CHEVY TRAVERSES HOWEVER THAT HAS NOT TRANSFERRED OVER TO MY PARTICULAR MODEL YEAR, WHICH WAS BUILT IN 09 BUT SOLD AS AN 2010. THE VEHICLE IS 8 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH ONLY 66,000 MILES ON IT. -(PLEASE NOTE SERVICE BULLETIN 10287C DATE OF ISSUE APRIL 13, 2012) (ALSO NOTE THE LETTER SENT TO OWNERS ABOUT THE ECM REPROGRAMMING, DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND WARRANTY EXTENSION WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR 10 YEARS 120,000 MILES)

CAR STALLED OUT 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL INTERSECTION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EITHER. TOOK THE CAR INTO GOODYEAR FOR A CHECK AND NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THEIR COMPUTER, CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR 20 MIN WITHOUT INCIDENT EITHER. WAS ADVISED TO TRY AND USE A FUEL INJECTION FLUSH. GASOLINE COULD BE SMELLED INSIDE THE CAR AFTER THE STALLING INCIDENT. 9/13/15: WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN DRAMATICALLY. STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE STARTED TO SEEP INTO THE CAR. CAR FINALLY STALLED OUT AS WE APPROACHED THE SHOULDER LANE. THE SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS VERY STRONG AT THIS POINT, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. CAR WAS TOWED TO GOODYEAR. HOOKED UP CAR TO THE COMPUTER AND THERE WERE 6 THINGS WRONG WITH THE CAR. WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT INTO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2010. OWNER OF GOODYEAR STORE ALSO INFORMED US THAT PRIOR TO OUR CAR COMING IN, 3 CARS OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR CAME IN THIS PAST YEAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ALL OF THE OTHER 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE OWNERS TO GO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP. UPON STARTING UP MY CAR, THE ENTIRE SERVICE AREA STARTED TO SMELL OF GASOLINE. CAR WAS HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER AND I WAS THEN TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2200 TO FIX THE "MULTIPLE PROBLEMS". THE 5 OUT OF 6 FUEL INJECTORS WERE MISFIRING. FUEL PUMP, INJECTORS, SPARK PLUGS, AND MORE NEED TO BE REPLACED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER TURNED ON ONCE SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2010, UNTIL THE INCIDENT ON 9/13/15 ON THE FREEWAY. MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, WITHOUT INCIDENT! NOW THAT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, THIS HAPPENS!

STARTED WITH A WHINING NOISE AT LOW SPEED APPROX 3 YEARS AGO AND THEN SLOWLEY STARTED TIGHTENING AT LOW SPEED THEN ULTIMATLY GIVING OUT COMPLETELY. THE TIGHTENING WAS A FRIGHTENING THING AS YOU NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO DO IT AND YOU HAD TO BE PREPARED FOR IT TO OTHER WISE YOU WOULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON.

TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN IT WAS ON THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. TRIED TO PASS A SLOW MOVING TRUCK. ENGINE RPMS WHEN UP BUT VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD MECHANIC CHECK CODE AND THE FOLLOWING CODES SHOW UP U0121, U0073 AND U0121 HE STATED A PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE #14515B HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE.

ME & MY FAMILY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING 65 MPH, & SUDDENLY THE CHIME IN MY VEHICLE GOES OFF, & IN THE DISPLAY WINDOW IT READS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK & PARK ASSIST OFF. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT & I BELIEVE THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COME ON. THEN THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWS DOWN & WHEN I TRY TO PUSH THE GAS TO GO, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON & LUCKILY I WAS JUST A FEW MINUTES FROM HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO GREG MAY HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY PUT IT ON THAT MACHINE & THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THAT SAME DAY I TAKE IT & THEY TELL ME IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. SO I DRIVE MY VEHICLE HOME & TRY TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO MAKE THE REPAIR & I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO MY PERSONNEL MECHANIC ON FEB 27, 2015, THEY REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY FOR $521.79 (I DO HAVE RECEIPT). 3 MONTHS LATER ON MAY 23, 2015 THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE I WAS OUT OF TOWN. 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT ON AUG 7, 2015 IT DID IT. AND AGAIN ON SEPT 1, 2015. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ON NOV 29, 2014, I ONLY HAD IT 3 MONTHS WHEN IT BEGAN TO MESS UP ON ME. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I AM EITHER ON A BUSY CITY STREET OR ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE 5 CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE & THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,664.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD-ROW SEAT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT RETRACTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL STIFFEN MAKING COMPLETING TURNS VERY DIFFICULT. A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAD TO MAKE COMPLETE STOPS TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES OR GOING INTO A DITCH. I ALSO NOTICED THE STEERING STIFFENING WHILE MAKING SLIGHT TURNS WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS SERIOUSLY PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT WITH 67000 MILES. LAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING MY ALL THE CONTROLS STARTED GOING CRAZY AND ERROR MESSAGE WAS SAYING "TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAC, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" SERVICE STABILITRAK / REDUCED ENGINE / TRACTION CONTROL OFF/ PARKING ASSIST OFF MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DIC AND THE CAR WENT INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" MODE AND WOULD ONLY BLEM TO HAVE BEEN FIXED. NOW TODAY I WAS DRIVING MY CAT TO THE VET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HERE WE GO AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM AS LAST MONTH. I WENT FROM 45 MPH DOWN TO DROPPING DOWN TO 15 MPH AT RANDOM IS NOT SAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING YOU CANT JUST OVER LANES IF YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC WHEN I TOPPED FOR GAS I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND WAIT THEN RESTART AS MANUAL SUGGESTS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP, THE MESSAGE REAPPEARED. ONCE THE CAR FINALLY STARTED I WENT STRAIGHT TO WALDORF CHEVY DEALER. I TOOK IT IN TO SEE WHAT CODES AND EVERYTHING POINTED TO NEEDING A COMPUTER BOARD WHICH ENDED UP COSTING $1009.00 CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAID "PROBABLY JUST FLUKE, HOPEFULLY WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN"! NOT A GOOD ANSWER FOR ME BECAUSE I DRIVE AROUND AND MY HUSBAND DEPLOYED TO AFGHANISTAN I DON'T NEED ISSUES WITH MY ONLY CAR. THIS SHOULD BE A COVERED REPAIR. I CALLED BOTH CHEVY AND GM AND HAVE TO SAY I WAS HAPPY WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVED. I WANT TO KNOW WHY GM KNOWS THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE IN THE TRAVERSE AND HAVE NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS AND SENT OUT A FACTORY RECALL. IF THE DEALER DARES COME BACK AND SAY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR NEEDS REPLACED AND REFUSES TO FIX IT AT NO COST AT LEASE I CALLED CORPORATE SO THEY WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS MATTER THIS TIME!!!! :)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND BECOME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER WHEN MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURNED. THE FAILURE RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. CHEVROLET ISSUED A SPECIAL WARRANTY FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP, HOWEVER WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD A CRACKED STEERING RACK. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWED THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. CHEVROLET IS ONLY OFFERING TO FIX ONE COMPONENT OF A FAULTY STEERING SYSTEM, LEAVING DRIVERS TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE OTHER FAULTY PARTS.

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, TRACTION LIGHT CAME OTHE STABILITY LIMESSAGE CAME ON AS WELL SAYING OFFN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BATTERY GAUGE WENT WAY DOWN, WATER GAUGE SHOWED NO WATER LEVEL, GAS GAUGE SHOWED NO GAS, I STOPPED TO GET GAS AND THEN CAR WOULD NOT START, KEPT TRYING TO START IT, FINALLY TURNED ON BUT ALL GAUGES WERE CRAZY. TOOK THE CAR RIGHT TO WALDORF CHEVROLET ON 2298 CRAIN HWY IN WALDORF, MD. THE DEALER COULDN'T EVEN GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THEY CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND CALLED ME AROUND 12:00 PM AND SAID YOU COMPUTER BOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS COMPLETELY SHOT. AFTER READING SEVERAL CHEVY TRAVERSES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TOO MANY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ITS AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE AT THAT . I TRULY BELIEVE THIS MODEL OF CAR IS A WASTE OF MONEY. I GUESS I SHOULD OF BOUGHT A TOYOTA 5 YEARS AGO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ABS AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND POWERED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STABILITY TRACTION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAKING NOISE FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT ONLY WHEN I SLOWED TO A STOP AND BEGAN TO SPEED UP. TODAY AS I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. BECAUSE I WAS ABOUT THIRTY MILES FROM HOME I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT HOME. WHEN I WAS ON MAIN ROADS GOING ABOUT 55MPH, THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE GOING AWAY, BUT EACH TIME I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR CHEVY TRAVERSE OWNERS AND THAT THEY ALL SEEM TO BE OCCURRING AROUND 70,000 MILES. WITH ALL THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE MILLIONS OF GM VEHICLES RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS I AM VERY UPSET THAT THESE VEHICLES WERE NOT AMONG THEM.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE WHEN THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT TURN. THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR ALREADY PARKED AND THE GENTLEMAN GETTING OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I PROFUSELY APOLOGIZED AND BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE GENERAL AREA. I THEN MOVED TO THE BACK OF THE PARKING LOT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHEN THE CAR OPERATED AT NORMAL SPEED, THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH THE STEERING. WHEN THE CAR OPERATED AT THE SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. WHEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET, I SAW THE MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME HAZARD. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY THAT MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING OUR FOUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR. AT THE TIME, I WAS DRIVING WITH THREE OF THE CHILDREN AND I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN BY THE ENTIRE SITUATION. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY A DEFECT SUCH AS THIS WAS NOT RECALLED OR, AT THE LEAST, PLACED ON A PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE BANK. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. I SERIOUSLY THINK THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS COMING FROM THE ACTUAL DEALERSHIP WITH, AT THE LEAST, A PHONE CALL OR LETTER INFORMING OF THE HAZARD....UPDATED 09/22/15 *BF UPDATED 12/05/2017*CN

CAR WAS PARKED AND RUNNING, TURNED OFF THE KEY AND PULLED IT OUT OF IGNITION AND THE CAR STAYED RUNNING. HAD TO PUT KEY BACK IN AND TURN 'ON', THEN TURNED OFF AND IT TURNED OFF THE WAY IT SHOULD. CONCERNED HOW THIS WILL AFFECT MY STEERING/ELECTRICAL/BRAKES/ AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT THE IGNITION AFFECTS.

I BROUGHT MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE IN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR WORK. I PREVIOUSLY HAD RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN 14329A WHICH WAS FOR A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING PUMP. DURING THE COURSE OF THE SERVICE, THE DEALER LET ME KNOW THAT DUE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP BEING DEFECTIVE, THE STEERING RACK PUMP WAS ALSO NEEDING REPAIR. GM TOOK CARE OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT NOT THE RACK PUMP AS THE RACK PUMP DID NOT HAVE A FORMAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT YET. IT IS DISAPPOINTING TO ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM AS THE POWER STEERING PUMP BEING DEFECTIVE CAUSED THE RACK PUMP TO ALSO BE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN COME OUT ON THE STEERING RACK PUMP AS MANY, MANY OTHERS ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS UNKNOWN HAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS LOOSE. BROWN-DAUB CHEVY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT AND THEY SEEMED TO HAVE. TWO MONTHS LATER WHEN WE CLOSED THE DOOR THE WINDOW SHATTERED IN ITS FRAME. IT HAD TO BE BROKEN OUT AND REPLACED AND WHEN TECH WHO REMOVED IT FIXED IT HE SAID THE BOLTS HOLDING THE WINDOW WERE LOOSE. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WE NOTICED WHEN WE LEFT THE WINDOW DOWN A LITTLE AND CLOSED THE DOOR THE WINDOW WOULD SHAKE. NO ONE SLAMS THE CAR DOORS. NOW BOTH MY FRONT WINDOWS SHAKE IF THEY ARE LEFT OPEN EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT. CLEARY PAYING FOR A NEW WINDOW WAS NOT THE ANSWER, THE BOLTS IN THE DOORS AREN'T ANY GOOD.

IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR OUR 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE STARTED GETTING HARD TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 1200.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS LIKE IT IS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. AT THIS POINT WE HAVE NO POWER STEERING ABOUT 90 % OF THE TIME. IT IS GETTING DANGEROUS AT THIS POINT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WILL DO THIS WINTER IF WE START TO SLIDE WE WOULD BE UNABLE TO STEER FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP FROM WRECKING. WE NEED THIS CAR. OTHER THAN THE STEERING, I LOVE THIS CAR.

WHILE TURNING THE POWER STEERING FEELS VERY HEAVY AND DIFFICULT TO TURN AND MAKES A NOISE

CHEVY RECALLED TWO PARTS IN THE TRAVERSE LINE, A POWER STEERING PUMP AND ANOTHER PART RELATED TO THE STEERING. RECALL NUMBER 14329. WHEN THESE PARTS FAIL THEY CAN CAUSE THE RACK AND PINION TO ALSO FAIL. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO NUMEROUS TECHNICIANS AND THEY ALL BACK THIS CLAIM UP. OUR POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED AND CHEVY REPLACED THE PARTS BUT THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE RACK AND PINION TO FAIL WHICH CHEVY IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE.

ENGINE APPEARS TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. CODE P0008 COMES UP ON THE CODE READER AND SCANNING THE ENGINE WITH A SCAN TOOL REVEALS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN IS HAVING ISSUES. WITH SOME RESEARCH I FOUND NHTSA REFERENCE- 10043857 AND TSB REFERENCE- SB-11340 FOR THIS ISSUE. GM STATES THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH 2006 TO 2009 MODELS. I FEEL THOUGH THAT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY WITH THE 2010 MODEL AS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LADY AT GM SEEMS TO INDICATE. I ALSO HAVE HEARD THAT GM HAS EXTENDED THE COVERAGE TO 10 YEARS / 120K MILES FOR THIS ISSUE. IM GETTING NOWHERE WITH GM SO FAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ABS AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE SPEED REDUCED TO 25 MPH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND. WHEN THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND POWERED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE WARNING INDICATORS WERE NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,889. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,552.

I HAVE A CHEVY TRAVERSE 2010 AND THE DRIVERS REAR SEAT BELT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. THEY SEND ME A RECALL FOR THE SEAT BELL FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT BUT THE SEAT BELL IS WORKING VERY GOOD ,I TOOK THE SUV TO THE DEALER AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO PAY 200 BUT I THINK THIS IS A RECALL BECAUSE MY CAR HAS A CLEAN RECORD NO CAR ACCIDENT.

I HAD MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WITH A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THAT IS COMMON TO THIS ENGINE. GM HAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT (#11340A) THAT IS HAVING THEIR DEALERSHIPS CHANGING OUT THE DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS UP TO THE MODEL YEAR 2009. MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERED AS A 2010 BUT HAS A BUILD DATE OF 11/09 AND I BELIEVE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE OF NO ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. THE REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $4500.00.

I HAVE BEEN HEARING NOISE COMING FROM VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 2MONTHS,I HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN THE LAST YEAR.THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA,THEY MEANING THE MACHANICS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM. THEYHAVE FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT AND ITS COMING OM THE ENGINE/ALSO THERE WAS A RECALLON THE ANTI FREEZE CONTAINER AND I BROUGHT IT TO KERBECK IN ATLANTIC CITY THEY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEMS/THERE IS A LEAK COMING FROM SOMEWHERE!! THIS VEH IS NOT WORTH MY TIME AND ENERGY. SHOULD I REPAIR THE PRODUCT AFTER THERE WAS A RECALL AND NO PROBLEMS,IM DISGUSTED BY THIS MATTER AND IF I COULD GET A HOLD OF A GM I WOULD TELL HIM WHERE MY THOUGHTS ARE ON THIS VEH..

ON THE WAY TO LONGVIEW TEXAS, WE WERE DRIVING ON THE LOOP IN PALESTINE WHEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND PARK ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER QUICKLY AND WE HAD TO CROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I AM PREGNANT AND MY (XXX) YEAR OLD WAS IN THE CAR. VEHICLE WAS TOWED, I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR. THE BACON CHEVROLET IN PALESTINE CHARGED ME $150 TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS AND GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE SINCE THAT WAS DUE UP. THEY FIXED THREE RECALLS THAT WERE DUE ON MY VEHICLE I HAD OWNED FOR 1.5 YRS, THEN NONE OF THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AGAIN ON MAY 12TH, YESTERDAY, MY VEHICLE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE VEHICLE RPM'S WOULD GO TO ABOUT 3,000 ONLY DRIVING 40 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND CAME OUT TO CHECK ON IT AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOM LIGHT CHEVY AND WAS TOLD "THERE HAVE BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THIS", THEY MUST NOT GET THE INTERNET THERE. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE OWNERS OF BOTH THE TRAVERSE AND THE EQUINOX (MY SISTER HAS ONE THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUE) FROM THE 2009 ALL THE WAY TO 2013 MODEL FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND WHY WE ARE PAYING TO RUN DIAGNOSTICS OR TO FIX THINGS WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN AND TELL US THE ISSUE IS SOMETHING ELSE?! GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL OR THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE WAY IT IS BEING HANDLED. IF THESE LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN SOON, THIS WILL BE THREE TIMES IN SIX MONTHS! I AM LOOKING AT TRADING THIS VEHICLE IN AND TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY APARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).WAY FROM GM IF THIS IS HANDLED IMPROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

BROUGHT THE 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE TO DEALER FOR A LEAKING WATER PUMP THAT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY IN NOVEMBER. VEHICHLE WAS IN REDUCED POWER MODE ONCE IT WAS STARTED UP AFTER WORK WAS COMPLETED ON WATER PUMP. AT THAT TIME I WAS INFORMED THE TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE GM DEALER QUOTED ME $1834 TO REPLACE. UNACCEPTABLE AT THIS MILEAGE FOR A TIMING CHAIN TO BE STRETCHED THAT MUCH. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICHLES FOR THIS AND MANY OTHER ITEMS AND FIX THEIR JUNK THAT THEY TURN OUT FOR TOP DOLLAR. THAT ISN'T AN EASY TAB TO PICK UP FOR MOST OF US.

THE TIMING CHAINS OF THE ENGINE STRETCHED PREMATURELY CAUSE ENGINE SERVICE CHECK LIGHT TO ACTIVATE. CHAINS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO ENSURE PROPER FUNCTIONING AND PREVENT ENGINE FAILURE.

CHECK-ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON; VEHICLE RIDES ROUGH AND STALLS OCCASIONALLY; POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE. TOOK VEHICLE TO STS TIRE & AUTO BORDENTOWN NJ. TWO CODES WERE NOTED: P0011 AND P0024 - CAMSHAFT POSITION (TIMING OVER-ADVANCED OR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ISSUE). SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING. I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVELS AND SAW THEY WERE LOW, TOPPED THEM OFF AND PAID IT NO MIND. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR STARTED REDUCING POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS. TO REMEDY THIS I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR AND FOR A DAY OR TWO IT WOULD BE FINE. STRANGELY THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND I HAD NO PROBLEM FOR WEEKS. I WENT TO GET A OIL CHANGE AT A NON DEALERSHIP SHOP AND AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE AUTO SUPPLY TO GET THE CODE READ AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CODE P0008, THE CLERK LOOKED IT UP TO FIND IT IS A COMMON TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. HE TOLD ME IT WAS A SAVED CODE AND THAT THIS IS A REPEAT ISSUE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY IN APRIL 2012. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHARGED $67 TO TELL ME THE DREADFUL NEWS AND BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THE REPAIR WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET. LONGER STORY SHORT AS I WORKED FEVERISHLY WITH GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TO GET COST ASSISTANCE THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. WHEN I FINALLY GET A 50/50 SPLIT THE CAR BEGAN OVER HEATING MORE QUICKLY TO THE POINT I COULD NOT DRIVE IT. WHEN I TOOK THE CARE TO BE REPAIRED COOLANT WAS LEAKING AND THE WATER PUMPED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN MAY 2013 I HAD MY COOLANT TOPPED OFF FOR WHAT THE DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTED AS RECALL 13079 WATER PUMP SHAFTER SEAL LEAKS. I FOUND OUT THAT THE WATER PUMP LEAK CAN DAMAGE THE TIMING CHAIN. I THINK CHEVROLET AND GM SHOULD COVER THIS COST WHEN THEY KNEW THE WATER WOULD LEAK AND WOULD NEED REPLACING BUT NOT BEFORE IT CAUSED TIMING CHAIN RELATED DRIVING ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT PRETENSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V266000 (SEATS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,600.

MY DAUGHTER AND SON IN LAW HAD PURCHASED GOOD YEAR TIRES 8 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE LESS THAN 8,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN ONE TIRE SIDE WALL ON THE TIRE FAILED WHEN THEY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE TOLD THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A POT HOLE. THE FAILURE WAS THE SIDEWALL AND THEREFORE IN OUR MINDS THAT PARTICULAR TIRE SIDEWALL HAD TO BE DEFECTIVE. THEY WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TIRE. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. GOODYEAR SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS WHERE MY DAUGHTER, SON IN LAW AND GRAND CHILDREN COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME JUSTIFICATION TO THEM OTHER THAN SOME MECHANIC TELLING THEM IT WAS DUE TO A POT HOLE.. *TR

THE INITIAL PROBLEM STARTED IN DEC. 2014 WHILE TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE PARKING ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS VERY COLD OUT. THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO GO OUT AND IT IS REALLY HARD TO TURN. THIS HAPPENED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER BECAUSE I RECEIVED A TSB IN THE MAIL. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE BULLETIN BECAUSE MY STEERING GEAR IS LEAKING WHICH IS NOT PART OF THE TSB. MY POWER STEERING FLUID IS STILL FULL. COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $1701.09. MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS TWO TSB BUT THE DEALER STILL SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED. NOW IN APRIL 2015 THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME EVEN WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED! *TR

ERROR MESSAGE SAYS TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED THEN VEHICLE DROPS SPEED TO UNDER 20MPH. I HAVE TO TRY AND SAFELY PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT UNTIL I CAN TURN THE CAR BACK ON TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS CAN LAST AN HOUR OR MORE. DEALER SAYS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACED. TSB #PI-0097A AND NHTSA #10036514 SHOWS A KNOWN ISSUE. DEALER SAYS NOT COVERED. DEALER SERVICED VEHICLE BY CLEANING THE THROTTLE BOTTLE AND PROBLEM STOPPED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. SYMPTOMS HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOW ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. I AM VERY DISCOURAGED WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY DOES CHEVY PUBLISH THESE TSB'S IF THE DEALERS WON'T COVER THEM? *TR

AIR CONDITIONING/HEAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. A/C WILL BLOW HOT AIR SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES THE BLOWER WILL ONLY WORK ON FRONT VENTS. THE DEFROST WILL NOT BLOW AT THE TOP VENTS. NO MATTER WHAT SETTING YOU PUT IT ON IT ONLY BLOWS IN THE FRONT. TSB #PIE-0161 NHTSA #10038747. YET ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM THAT I CAN'T GET MY CHEVY DEALER TO COVER. I HAD THE ACTUATOR REPLACED AND THAT HELPED WITH THE HAVING ALL THE VENTS WORK BUT THE A/C WILL RUN HOT SOMETIMES. IF I HAVE THE HEAT ON IN THE MORNING AND THEN TRY TO USE THE A/C LATER IN THE AFTERNOON THE A/C WILL RUN HOT. IF I START THE CAR WITH THE A/C ON IN THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY IT WILL STAY COLD. IT IS ONLY WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN SETTINGS. *TR

TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY, DRIVER ACCELERATED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT ACTED AS THOUGH IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. IT WAS PUSHED TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED UP WITH GAS, THEN IT WOULDN'T START AND EVENTUALLY THE BATTERY DIED. IT WAS JUMP STARTED AND DROVE A FEW MILES TO THE HOUSE WITH A KNOCKING SOUND. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC EVALUATED IT AND SAID THE ENGINE IS BLOWN. IT HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE, WITHOUT MISSING AN OIL CHANGE, ALL MAINTENANCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN JUNE OF 2010. THERE WERE THREE SAFETY RECALLS, ONE INCLUDING A GAS TANK ISSUE, AND ALTHOUGH SEVERAL MESSAGES WERE LEFT ON THE "RECALL HOTLINE", NO RETURN CALL WAS EVER RECEIVED. MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS METAL IN THE OIL BUT THE ENGINE OIL IS NOT LOW.THIS VEHICLE IS TOO NEW TO HAVE A BLOWN ENGINE. HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH SEVERAL DTC CODES APPEARED ON THE DIC INCLUDING STABILITY SERVICE AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. VEHICLE SPEED REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY (20-30MPH) WHILE IN MOVING TRAFFIC AND EXTREMELY BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO REPORTED CODES OF P0008 (TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED), P2610 (ECM FAULTS) AND P2101 OR P1122 (NOT SURE BUT DEALER STATED THROTTLE BODY CONTROL ERROR). VEHICLE IS UNDER 5 YEARS OLD (PURCHASED IN AUG 2010) AND UNDER 100,000 MILES TO TIMING CHAIN AND ECM WERE COVERED IN FULL UNDER GM WARRANTY. THROTTLE BODY COVERAGE WAS REMOVED IN 2009 (PER WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET) AND WAS NOT COVERED. DEALER AGREED TO SPLIT COST (THEY COVERED LABOR, I PAID FOR PARTS AT DEALER COST). GOOD DEAL ON THE WARRANTY AND DEALERSHIP'S HONORABLE EFFORT TO FIX MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE BUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN AND THROTTLE BODY AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLES INVOLVED AND NOT WAIT UNTIL THERE IS INJURY OR DEATH INVOLVED. *TR

DURING SLOW TURNS(E.G.) SLOW TURNS AND WHEN PARKING THE POWER STEERING TEMPORARILY QUITS MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE TURNS. *TR

ON THE DAY OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, ONLY SECONDS AFTER SIGNING THE CONTRACT, I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF SAFETY RECALLS. HAD TO WAIT THREE WEEKS BEFORE GETTING THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED, VERY NERVOUS AFTER THAT SITUATION. THEN AFTER ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 8 MONTHS THE POWER STEERING PUMP, WATER PUMP, AND LEAKING HOSES WENT OUT WITH OVER $1,500 IN REPAIRS. THREE DAYS AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT THEY CALLED, AFTER I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR MORE BUSINESS TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, TIRES ROTATED AND A SAFETY CHECK, AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIRES WERE UNSAFE AND THEY WOULD NOT ROTATE THE TIRES. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE TIRES FOR APPROXIMATELY $800. I AM NOW ON THE FIFTH (5TH) DAY WITHOUT THE FAMILY VEHICLE AND VERY STRESSED. A 20 YEAR VETERAN RETIRED FROM THE UNITED STATES MARINES IS ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE TO MAKE A BAD DEAL RIGHT. HERE IS MY STATEMENT ON THE LAST 9 MONTHS WITH DEALING WITH PRINCE CHEVROLET OF ALBANY, 2701 LEDO ROAD, ALBANY, GA 31707 AND MY BREAKING DOWN LEMON AND VEHICLE. I AM OUTRAGED THAT THIS IS THE TYPE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE I AM RECEIVING FROM CHEVY AND I WANT OUT OF THE CONTRACT. I NO LONGER WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH CHEVY OR GMC. I HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE LOCAL PRINCE OF ALBANY STAFF, THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. THANK YOU PRINCE CHEVROLET FOR NOT SUPPORTING YOUR VETERANS AND CUSTOMERS OF GEORGIA WITH THE RIGHT SERVICE. A GREAT WAY TO SHOW THE EXAMPLE OF THE RICH STEALING FROM THE POOR. I AM NOT RICH ENOUGH OR POWERFUL ENOUGH TO HOLD PRINCE CHEVROLET OF ALBANY, 2701 LEDO ROAD, ALBANY, GA 31707 ACCOUNTABLE BUT ASK THAT SOMEONE ASSIST ME SO I CAN JUST GET BACK TO A NORMAL LIFE AND TRANSPORT MY FAMILY AROUND SAFELY. *TR

POWER STEERING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A HIGH PITCHED NOISE AND STEERING FAILURE.

MY WIFE WAS RUNNING ERRANDS WITH 2010 TRAVERSE AND THE BELL STARTED CHIMING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER" CAME UP ON DASH DISPLAY AND SHE HAD HARDLY ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE AROUND TOWN. I ADVISED HER TO TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT, IT WORKED FOR A FEW MILES BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I LOOKED UP SYMPTOMS ONLINE AND FOUND MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH FEW RESOLUTIONS MADE BY GM DEALERS, EVEN AFTER REPLACING VERY EXPENSIVE PARTS AT OWNERS EXPENSE. *TR

APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT THE STABILITRACK LIGHT CAME ON THEN A MESSAGE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE ENGINE CUT ITSELF OFF. I HAD TO KEEP UNDER 15 MPH BUT EVER FEW MILES PULL OVER BECAUSE THE REDUCE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND CUTS THE CAR OFF. VERY DANGEROUS. GM YOU NEED TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS! *TR

WAS DRIVING MY CHEVY TRAVERSE AT AROUND 45MPH WHEN SUDDENLY RECEIVED VEHICLE NOTIFICATIONS STATING "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE STABILITRAC AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER." IMMEDIATELY I WAS AT A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND WAS SUDDENLY REDUCED TO 15MPH NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED. I HAD TO VEAR OFF THE ROAD, SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN, AND THEN RESTART IT ONLY TO MAKE IT ANOTHER MILE UP THE ROAD BEFORE THE SYMPTOMS OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS FORCED TO REPEAT THESE STEPS 5 MORE TIMES BEFORE MAKING IT TO MY DESTINATION. UPON INVESTIGATION OF THIS MECHANICAL ISSUE I'VE LEARNED OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS WITH NOT ONE PROVIDING A REPAIR SOLUTION. MANY HAVE PAID UPWARDS OF $500-$1000 IN REPAIR COSTS AND ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE DRIVEN MY VEHICLE TWICE SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE AND EACH TIME EXPERIENCE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. AM I TO PAY FOR DEALER REPAIR WHEN IT SEEMS THERE IS NO PROPER SOLUTION? I NOW HAVE A $20000 VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN, WHICH IS IRONICALLY WHY I PURCHASED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I SUPPOSE I AM FORCED TO HAVE IT SERVICED AT MY LOCAL DEALER BUT AM CERTAINLY NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE RESULTS. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP! RECALL THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

PURCHASED CAR USED 47011, A LITTLE OVER 2 WKS "CHECK ENGINE"=FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE , NEXT WAS SEAT ASSEMBLY. & ALTERNATOR...WHINING. ENGINE NOISE REPORTED, NOTHING DONE...NO PROBLEMS DETECTED AT TIME DUE TO PROBLEM BEING "INTERMITTENT"! CONTACTED GM EXEC OFFICE REPORTED ISSUES, GOT FILE NUMBER--NO RESOLUTION! RECEIVED SPECIAL COVERAGE LETTER FROM CHEVROLET DATED SEPT 2014 'RE: #14329 @ POWER STEERING PUMP WITH EXTENSION OF WARRANTY COVERAGE.

TDC P008 IS TRIPPED IN VEHICLE. IT SAYS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TIMING. IT JUST HAPPENS THAT THIS CODE SHOWED UP THE DAY AFTER I HAD RECALL WORK ON THE VEHICLE FOR SEAT BELTS AND AIRBAGS. THEY ALSO CHECKED THE WATER PUMP FOR LEAKS. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WORK THEY DID THE DAY BEFORE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN TURNING CORNERS AND INTO PARKING SPOTS THE POWER STEERING SOMETIMES CUTS OUT AND YOU HAVE TO WRESTLE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO TURN. *TR

I PURCHASED OUR 2010 TRAVERSE NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE POWER STEERING FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT 3 TIMES. THE POWER STEERING GEAR WAS REPLACED AT 9500 MILES, AT 35,000 MILES, AND NOW IT IS OUT AGAIN AT 48,000 MILES. I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WON'T GO OFF, NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME MY TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED BASED ON THE CODES DETECTED FROM THE COMPUTER. I HAVE TRIED TO GET GM, AND OR A LOCAL DEALER TO WORK WITH ME ON THESE ON GOING ISSUES, AND THEY COULD CARE LESS. *TR

2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT AWD HAS DEVELOPED A CONSISTENT WHINING NOISE WHILE RUNNING. CHEVY DEALER INVESTIGATED AND SAYS THE STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT'S LEAKING. CAR MAKES UNUSUAL NOISE WHEN TURNING AND IS SOMETIMES HARD TO STEER AROUND CORNERS. NO MENTION OF PUMP BEING INVOLVED. COST ESTIMATE OF $1500 TO REPLACE STEERING RACK. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH MANY OTHER 2010 TRAVERSE VEHICLES. STILL LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL INFO. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM GM AND DEALER SAYS NOT COVERED. REPAIRS NOT DONE YET, INVESTIGATING OPTIONS. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DISPLAYED SHOWED TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAC, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 25MPH. I SEE THESE PROBLEMS ALL OVER AND IT SEEMS AS IF MY VIN ISN'T COVERED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS HARM TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE, I ALSO HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE STEERING PROBLEMS. *TR

THE DATE ON THIS COMPLAINT IS THE DATE THAT THINGS GOT WORSE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE BACKROADS AND SLOWED TO PULL INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND AS I TURNED THE WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND GROANED VERY LOUD. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES WITHIN A 4 HOUR PERIOD BUT HAS SINCE WENT BACK TO THE MOANING WHEN TURNING. FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS, WHENEVER I SLOW TO TURN, MY WHEEL MOANS/WHINES AS IF MY POWER STEERING IF FAILING. I HEARD OF A RECALL AND TALK TO MY LOCAL DEALER. THEY SAID GM WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PART UNLESS IT ACTUALLY FAILS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, ALL I CAN SAY IS IF MY STEERING FAILS AND SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY GETS HURT FROM LOSS OF POWER STEERING, GM WILL BE FIRST ON MY LIST TO SUE. *TR

MY 2010 TRAVERSE EXPERIENCED A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THIS MORNING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE SPEED WAS IMMEDIATELY REDUCED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. THIS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING AND IN HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL OTHER CARS. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD SIGNAL AND MANAGED TO REACH THE ROAD SHOULDER AFTER TRAFFIC HAD CLEARED. AFTER STOPPING FOR 10 MINUTES I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE TO THE CLOSEST DEALER FOR SERVICE. AFTER COVERING ABOUT 6 MILES THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS REDUCED AGAIN, BUT I MANAGE TO REACH THE DEALERSHIP. AT THE CHEVROLET DEALER THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM. I PAID THE SIGNIFICANT COST FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF AND CONTACTED BOTH GM & CHEVROLET DIVISION TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE FAILURE AND ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR WHAT IS CLEARLY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THAT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TRAVERSE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM AND SERVICE REPS AT BOTH CHEVROLET & GM SAID THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FROM THEM. MY CASE FOR COST REIMBURSEMENT IS STILL PENDING. *TR

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE STEERING PUMP OR THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

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

TRANSMISSION SLIPPED THEN VEHICLE SURGED AHEAD. SOON AFTER WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH AN ALARM SOUNDED WITH THE MESSAGE "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAC / ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED RAPIDLY. *TR

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

STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON/OFF, MESSAGE SHOWS THAT STABILITRAK/PARK ASSIST ARE OFF RANDOMLY. NUMEROUS COMPLAINS FOR CHEVROLET STABILITRAK ISSUES. TRAVERSEFORUM.NET, EDMONDS.COM. STABILITY CONTROL IS A FEDERALLY MANDATED FEATURE, THE NHTSA SHOULD BE VIGOROUSLY RESEARCHING THESE COMPLAINTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING LOST ALL POWER STEERING. DEALER SAID THE PUMP WAS TO BE RECALLED BUT THE PUMP CASED THE RACK AND PINION TO FAIL WHY IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH A COST OF ROUGHLY $1200. *TR

2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A RECALL IN WHICH THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RESULTS. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE REPAIR SHOP REFUSED TO OWN UP TO THE MISTAKES THEY MADE ON THE AIR CONDITION VENTS. *JB

TRANSMISSION SEEMS LIKE IT SLIPS WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,161.

WHILE TRYING TO TURN ONTO A STREET, STEERING WAS VERY HARD TO TURN AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THIS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. IT COST $2K TO FIX THE STEERING PUMP. *TR

AT VERY LOW SPEEDS (WHEN PARKING IN A PARKING STALL OR PARALLEL PARKING) OUR POWER STEERING STARTS TO SEIZE UP AND THE WHEEL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN...IN FACT IT TAKES EVERY OUNCE OF MY PETITE BODY TO GET IT TO TURN. UPON BRINGING IT IN WE HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A WARRANTY EXTENSION OUT ON THIS VERY ISSUE AND ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER INDICATING THAT. UNFORTUNATELY THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEREFORE THE FIX WAS NOT COMPLETED. I WOULD THINK THAT ANY TYPE OF STEERING FAILURE THAT COMES WITHOUT AN INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A "SAFETY ITEM". WE HAVE ALSO HAD A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND GETS WORSE WHEN IT'S COLD OUT. ALSO WE NOW HAVE A POWER STEERING WHEEL GEAR LEAK AND THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED TO US THAT THEY ALSO THOUGHT THAT THE LEAK MIGHT BE A PART OF THE PROBLEM WHICH IS ALSO ALARMING FOR AGAIN THE FACT THAT I AM LOSING POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE ROOT OF OUR ISSUE BECAUSE IF IT WAS A FLUID LEVEL ISSUE IT WOULD BE MORE CONSISTENT RATHER THAN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I FIND IT KIND OF STRANGE THAT ALL OF THE SUDDEN WE HAVE ALL THESE POWER STEERING ISSUES ALL AT ONCE AND YET OTHER GM MODELS ARE BEING OFFERED LIFE TIME WARRANTIES ON SOME OF THESE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH GM ABOUT THE FAILURE WHEN IT COMES TO TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED AND GM HAS ALREADY RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND HAS AN OBLIGATION TO FIX IT. WE FIRST NOTICED THIS ISSUE SINCE THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER 2014. WE WILL SOON HAVE A CHILD TAKING DRIVING LESSONS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE ALMOST AFRAID THAT WE WILL LOSE 100% POWER STEERING BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES WHILE HE IS DRIVING AND HE WILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WHICH IS A SCARY THOUGHT! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO POWER SAFE MODE AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DECIDED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE SPEED REDUCE, AND THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20 MPH INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE CODES WERE RESET. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,500.

IF AUTO IS IN DRIVE AND STOPPED ON AN INCLINE,WHEN FOOT IS RELEASED FROM BRAKE,AUTO WILL ROLL DOWNHILL UNTIL YOU PUSH ON ACCELERATOR HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE ROLL AND MOVE FORWARD.IF AUTO IS STOPPED ON HILL AND PUT IN PARK CAR WILL ROLL APPROX.1 FOOT BEFORE IT CATCHES. WE WERE LAUNCHING A CANOE AT A BOAT RAMP FACING DOWNHILL. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND ALMOST ROLLED INTO THE WATER. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR TO OVERCOME THE MOMENTUM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS WITHIN SPECS.

DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. NEEDED TO PASS CAR IN FRONT OF US DOING 40MPH IN A 60. SIGNALED OVER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE, PASSED OVER, SPED UP, AND SIGNALED TO TRANSFER BACK INTO ORIGINAL LANE. DURING TRANSFER, POWER STEERING STOPPED, FORCING ME TO PULL HARDER THAN NORMAL TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OVER. ONCE THE MANEUVER WAS ALMOST COMPLETE, POWER STEERING RETURNED, CAUSING ME TO OVER CORRECT RIGHT, THEN NEEDING TO CORRECT BACK LEFT. THE QUICK MANEUVER CAUSED MY PASSENGER TO HIT THEIR HEAD ON THEIR WINDOW. FROM THAT MOMENT ON, POWER STEERING ONLY WORKS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS BEING DEPRESSED. WHEN YOU ARE IDLE, COASTING, ETC., POWER STEERING IS NOT PRESENT AND REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO STEER CAR. CALLED DEALERSHIP TODAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT. I ASSUME IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #14329, BUT NOT SURE. *TR

HARD TO STEER AT LOW SPEEDS; THUMPING SOUND. ON NOV 8, 2014 , I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BURLINGTON CHEVROLET, HOWEVER THEY STATED IT WASN'T THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE STEERING GEAR RACK WHICH WILL COST ME ABOUT $1,600 PLUS TAX (ALSO INCLUDES FLUSHING THE LINE AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT). THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I'VE READ SIMILAR COMMON PROBLEMS. THIS HAS TO BE RELATED TO THE RECENT POWER STEERING PUMP ISSUE LETTER THAT GM RECENTLY MAILED (14329). I'M FRUSTRATED! *TR
