2012 Chevrolet Traverse SUV FWD

UNKNOWN, I first bought my Chevy Traverse Ltz in April of 2020, and about 2 weeks of driving it, I noticed that all(4)of my wheels/brakes instantly locked up while driving in traffic, almost causing a pile-up collision. The rotors and brakes releases alot of smoke as the wheels scrub and the suv doesn't move forward nor backward. I reported it to the car lot/dealership where i purchased it from and was told to take it to a certain auto shop. I arrived there, just to be told that he doesn't fix those type of problems. The dealership where i bought it from didn't look at it either. So, from that time til now in 2021, I have been dealing with the same exact problems being terrified with my children in the car, not knowing if/when the next time the wheels lock up for no reason, if it will be fatal for me and my children or other drivers. I've contacted GM about it, taken it to Chevy dealership a few times, even a couple of auto shops, and no one seems to know what the problem is. I recently had the transmission serviced to see if that was the issue and turns out, it wasn't. I don't know what to do, I am still financing it and the warranty only covers the transmission and engine, half the cost of the repair and the other half is my responsibility it states. I've been trying to prevent any fatal accidents best I can, sometimes by not driving it at all and having to ride with family members and friends. I was recently told by my warranty company that there is pretty much nothing they can do about it.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle took a long time to start-up. While driving approximately 20-40 MPH, the vehicle would not accelerate then shifted into limp mode. The ABS, check engine, traction control, and service air bags warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the wheel bearings were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,655.

I was driving to the store and my car dinged and a message saying something like service stabilitrack flashed. The car slowed and I pulled over and turned off the car. Eventually I turned the car on and it was back to normal speed but then it sputtered like it was out of gas. That was 2 months ago. I've had it in the shop 2 times and my husband has been trying to replace every part suggested by gm and any other mechanic. The car continues to misfire and turn of at times during driving. This feature makes this vehicle completely unsafe. Any vehicle that simply cuts power should not be on the road as it poses unnecessary risk. Please do something.

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN WITH NO WARNING. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR COSTS.

THE HATCH DOOR SLAMMED DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN I WAS UNLOADING GROCERY. AFTER THAT HAPPENED THE HATCH DOOR WILL NOT GO UP ALL THE WAY, BUT ASCENDS HALF WAY AN GOES BACK DOWN. I HAVE A VIDEO ON MY PHONE. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE HATCH GOING UP BUT COMING RIGHT BACK DOWN WITHOUT WARNING.

In an accident yesterday where the car was rear ended on the back passenger side while on the highway. The drivers seat reclined back during the crash. Pictures to be attached

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the power steering assist failed and the vehicle became difficult to steer. The contact stated that the power steering pump was leaking. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with the power steering pump and the rack and pinion needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 127,305.

Power steering intermittently fails at low speed we have had near collisions and as a result my wife cannot drive the car she’s not strong enough to turn the wheel at low speeds I’m afraid somebody’s gonna get in a wreck with this or another car like it I’ve heard other complaints from traverse owners about the same thing

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to three different independent mechanics and on all three occasions, it was diagnosed that the timing chain failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.

DASH IS THROWING DIFFERENT CODES SUCH AS SERVICE AND CHECK TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRACK, AIR BAG, AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT WILL SAY REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MY FOOT WOULD BE ON GAS NOT WANTING TO BARELY MOVE. ONE TIME I ALMOST GOT HIT. OTHER SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND WE WOULD HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY WAIT A LITTLE AND CAR WOULD BE OK AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAT IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AND THANK GOD WE HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUES FOR THE 4TH TIME. CAR FEELS AT TIMES LIKE IT IS BOGGING WHEN ON GAS PEDDLE AS IF SOMETHING HAD A CLOG IN IT AND STARTS PULSATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON.

MY MECHANIC REPLACED MY A/C REFRIGERANT HOSE DUE TO A LEAK AND MY A/C CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR. HE SAID THAT HE HAS REPLACED THE SAME PARTS ON A NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLES SIMILAR TO MY 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE. HE SAID THE DAMAGE TO THE A/C REFRIGERANT HOSE WAS DUE TO A BAD DESIGN WHERE A BRACKET IS LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO THE A/C REFRIGERANT HOSE.

THIS CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF DUE TO A FAULTY ENGINE SWITCH IT IS UNSAFE AS THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST DRIVING

THE AIRBAG CONNECTOR PIECE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT COMES APART TRIGGERING. AIRBAG LIGHT ON. DEALER CHARGES OVER $100 FOR A PROBLEM THAT KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS ISSUE IS ALSO LISTED ON EVERY FORUM SO T'S A COMMON ISSUE. WIPER FLUID DOESN'T EXTRACT CLOGGED NOZZLES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON HAD THE CODES CHECKED AND I HAD THE ENGINE TAKEN APART TWICE BECAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN HAD JUMPED CAUSING IT TO RUN ROUGH AND LIGHT CAME BACK HAD TO DO AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE IS THE SAME AS THE ENCLAVE AND ACADIA WHICH BOTH HAVE HAD RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

THE TRACTION CONTROL GOES ON AND OFF. STABILITY TRAK ERROR MESSAGE. ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELLERATE WHICH COULDVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE JANUARY 23, 2021. THIS ISSUE ON THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND RESOLVED.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER, OCCASIONALLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL ALMOST LIKE IT IS ATTEMPTING TO GRAB GEARS WHILE DOWN SHIFTING AND IT WILL CAUSE THE WHOLE VEHICLE TO SHAKE, IT HAS HAPPENED SO HARD I HAVE HAD TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE FOR WORRY OF MINE AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY. THE VEHICLE UPON ENTERING WILL SLAM INTO GEAR AND WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS THE TRANSMISSION EVEN FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AND THE CAR WILL JERK BACK AND FOURTH UNTIL IT GRABS A HIGHER GEAR. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2018 WITH JUST OVER 100,000 MILES AND EVEN NOW THE VEHICLE IS ONLY SITTING AT ROUGHLY 132,000 MILES AND HAS HAS REGULAR SERVICES TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE TRAVERSE HAS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE INCLUDING OLDER AND NEWER VEHICLES, AND MOST HAVE RESULTED IN TORQUE CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DOWNSHIFT FOR TAKE OFF AND HAS ALSO DONE SO WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THE ISSUE WAS ORIGINALLY NOTICED TOWARDS THE END OF 2019- TO EARLY 2020 AND HAS PROCEEDED TO GET SO BAD WE NO LONGER TRUST THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE FOR FAMILY TRIPS OR EVEN TO ROUTINE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS FOR FEAR OF THE VEHICLE STALLING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

AFTER REPLACING EVERY CODE THROWN AT ME ON MY 2012 TRAVERSE, IT CONTINUES TO SIT IN MY DRIVEWAY UN-WORKING. LAST TIME I HAD IT "REPAIRED", WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE MECHANIC, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE STARTED LOSING POWER WITH LIGHTS VISIBLY DIMMING. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES. IT WAS WORKING FINE. I GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME AND THE TRACTION CONTROL STARTED TOGGLING ON AND OFF AND A CHECK AIR BACK MESSAGE CAME UP. JUST THEN I STARTED FEELING LIKE I WAS BEING SHOCKED BY MY DRIVER SEAT!!! SINCE THE DEALERSHIP OR PRIVATEECHAMICS CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, I HAD A FRIEND GET ME ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS ZERO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE BUT I FOUND A RECALL FOR THE WIRE HARNESS UNDER THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS AND ALSO UNDER THE DASH, CALLING TO REPLACE AND SPLICE THOSE WIRES. MY VEHICLE HAS THE YELLOW HARNESS THAT WAS RECALLED BUY THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. IT'S BEEN 2 YEARSSINCE ALL THIS HAS BEGUN AND THAT I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A RELIABLE VEHICLE. (MY EX WHO CO-SIGNED BUT DID NOY PAY FOR IT, REFUSES TO SIGN THE TITLE OVER). JUST SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE AND BUY NON GM. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS SO UNSAFE TO IT'S CUSTOMERS. ELECTRICAL FAULTS, ENGINE FAULTS CAUSING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING FULL SPEED (WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE), AND FUEL PRESSURE ISSUES LEAVING ME STRANDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHICH EVEN HELPED LEAD TO A JOB LOSS. THIS VEHICLE HAS PUT OUR SAFETY AND LIVELIHOOD IN JEOPARDY ONE TOO MANY TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING ON ST [XXX] AND IT WAS RAINING I ALMOST HYDROPLANE AND MY TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN I HAD TO PASS TWO CARS SO I WOULDN'T HIT THEM AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING TOWARDS ME MY CAR KEPT ACCELERATING FASTER UP TO 100 MPH I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES BUT MY CAR WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN IT TOOK 5MINS TO SLOW.DOWN TO 20 MPH I HAD SMOKE ALL AROUND ME MY CAR WAS REVVING UP THE RPMS AND MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS HOTI SEEN A ROAD [XXX] AND I TURNED AND I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRIED TO SHUT IT OFF AND IT WOULDN'T SO I THREW IT BACK INTO DRIVE AND THEN PARK AND SHUT MY IGNITION OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT WOULDN'T START AFTER 10 MINS OF IT OFF I TRIED THE IGNITION AND IT STARTED BUT MY BRAKES HAD A AIR SOUND WHEN I PUSHED ON BRAKE PADS AND MY BF DROVE MY CAR BACK HOME THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN IT HAPPENED TO OTHER VEHICLES AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW I'M LUCKY I DIDNT DIE OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE ASSIST ME BC I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO THE VEHICLE IT'S NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE SINCE THAT HAPPENED PARTS 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).

KNOCKING ENGINE, RUNNING LIKE A OLD TRACTOR. ENGINE STALLED!! HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR. NO POWER FOUND TRANNY WENT BAD ON THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION. HAD TO REPLACE TRANNY. NOW POWER STEERING PUMP WENT COULDN'T TURN THE WHEELS ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO REPLACE. ALL REPAIRS PAID OUT OF MY POCKET. WHERES THE RECALLS?? SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME YEAR VEHICLE SAME PROBLEMS. ALL OF THESE HAVE COSTED ME SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF MY POCKET. ALSO HAD TO PAY DEALERSHIP FOR THE BRAKES THAT WERE BAD. 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2020 ALL THE YEARS HAPPENED. WIPERS WERE THE 1ST TO FALL OFF GOT REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING 65 MILES PER HOUR DOWN THE FREEWAY. OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED, HEARD KNOCKING IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WARNING SHUT OFF MOMENTARILY, THEN, OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN, ALONG WITH KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN ON ITS OWN, AND I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY, TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, OR THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A SKIPPED TIMING CHAIN AND I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. TOTAL COST ESTIMATED AT $8,800

WE PURCHASED A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE FROM RAY CHEVROLET IN FOX LAKE, ILLINOIS IN LATE FEBRUARY. WE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A VERY HIGH REPAIR COST THAT WE INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING REIMBURSED FOR ON CASE NUMBER [XXX]. WE ASKED FOR REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR IS COMMON TO THIS VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN # SB-10052863-8590 (12-06-01-009D DATED AUG/2013) SUBSTANTIATING THIS. WE WERE DENIED COVERAGE FROM GMC STATING THAT OUR VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE BULLETIN. OUR VEHICLE HAS THE SAME TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM AS THOSE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED, YET OUR VIN WAS EXCLUDED. WE BELIEVE THAT EITHER YOUR CONTAINMENT OF THE ISSUE WAS CONDUCTED IN ERROR LEAVING SOME VEHICLES LIKE OURS OUT OF THE SCOPE OF CONTAINMENT OR THAT VEHICLES ARE PURPOSELY LEFT OUT OF THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM TO CREATE A FALSE REPORTING AND AVOID RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. OUR CLAIM WAS ESCALATED TO A SENIOR ADVISOR AT GMC WHO AFTER A SHORT INVESTIGATION STATED THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ARE COVERED WITH. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! WE HAVE BEEN GMC CUSTOMERS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. WE ARE ASKING AGAIN FOR A REFUND OF THE REPAIR COSTS AS OUR VEHICLE HAS THE SAME TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE AN EQUITABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS, WE WILL BE SURE TO PUBLICIZE THE ACTUAL HAPPENINGS TO THE PUBLIC FOR ALL TO KNOW AND BE AWARE OF HOW GMC TREATS LONG TERM CUSTOMER LOYALTY.*DT SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK AT LOW SPEEDS 90% OF THE TIME, MY WIFE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR ( VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ). PARKING HAS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL, AT 10 MPH STEERING CONTROL COMES BACK.

WHILE RETURNING FROM WORK THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. IT WOULD NOT START. I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN THE BATTERY. IT WOULD BARELY TURN OVER PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND INSTALLED IT .THIS ALL TOOK ABOUT A HOUR AND A HALF. STARTED THE CAR AND IT KNOCKED RATTLED AND AND SQUEALED. I SHUT IT DOWN AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. I HAVE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODES ON THE DASH WHAT SOEVER THE MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE TRASH

P0019, P0018 STABILITY TRACK ISSUES AND REDUCE ENGIN POWER AND I WAS DRIVING WHEN HAPPEN AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF

2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE HAD COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE WITH NO WARNING SIGNS WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR REPAIR SHOP SAID IT NEEDS A COMPLETE NEW ENGINE. THEY SAID IT LOOKS AS IF SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE FAILED AND STOPED PUMPING THE OIL THROUGH.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY WITH MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN THE POWER WENT INTO REDUCE ENGINE MODE AND THE ERROR MESSAGE STABILITY TREK AND TRACTION CONTROL KEPT BLINKING THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 OCCASIONS NOW I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CHILDREN. I HAVE GOTTEN IT LOOKED AT NOW THE 4TH TIME IT HAS COST ME OVER 2 GRAND SO FAR NOW MY MECHANIC SAYING IT'S MY FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR THIS IS COSTING ME ANOTHER GRAND. IF I COULD AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE I WOULD TRADE THIS TRUCK IN. VERY UNHAPPY AND SCARED WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE LTZ

AT APPROXIMATELY 99,000 MILES, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON AN OUT OF STATE TRIP. AN AUTO STORE READ THE CODE AS TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED. AND STATED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED SOON. WE RETURNED HOME FROM OUR TRIP AND SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVED A WARNING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. IN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR THE TRACTION CONTROL FUNCTION QUIT OPERATING. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM GM STATING THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE REPAIRED BY GM UNDER WARRANTY. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR CHEVY DEALER WHO STATED THAT THIS VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS 100,243 MILES.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2013. I HAD THE EXTENDED PIP WARRANTY 6 YEARS, 60,000 MILES. THE MILEAGE IS 65,674. ON 9/12/2020 WHILE DRIVING RURAL STATE ROAD AT 55MPH THE ENGINE STALLED LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. WE SAFELY PULLED TO THE SIDE. THE ENGINE STARTED BACK UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND AN OBVIOUS KNOCK. TOWED THE TRAVERSE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE MONDAY WHEN THEY OPENED. DRIVERS VILLAGE DEALERSHIP CICERO NY CHECKED VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED 'VERY BAD KNOCKING WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING, NOISE CHANGES WITH RPMS. SCANNED AND FOUND P0016 CRANK CAM.' DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR FEE OF $250 DETERMINED THE #1 BANK ROD BROKEN- NEED ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO REPORTED OIL LEVEL FULL AND CLEAN WITH 57% LIFE REMAINING. THE OIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED AT THE 3,000. I WAS PRESENTED WITH TWO QUOTES TO INSTALL A GM NEW ENGINE OR A REBUILT ENGINE. BOTH OPTIONS ARE OVER $8,500 TO REPAIR.

THE VEHICLE AT 125,000 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING. IT IS THE CRANK SHAFT/CAM SHAFT. IT IS OVER A $2,000.00 REPAIR AND THE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY TRAVERSE'S.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS CAR CUTTING OUT/STALLING FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I KEEP TAKING IT IN TO MECHANICS TO GET IT FIXED AND IT SEEMS TO WORK THEN RANDOMLY LEAVES ME AND MY DAUGHTER STRANDED. SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL ONCE AND KEEP GOING... OTHER TIMES IT HAS TAKEN ME 3-4 HOURS TO GET HOME. I'VE HAD A MAJOR TUNE UP DONE, REPLACED THE FULE PUMP, FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, MAP SENSOR, PURGE VALVE CANISTER, CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, AND REPLACED RELAYS. IT HAS STALLED ON FREEWAYS, AND MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC LEAVING ME STUCK IN UNSAFE LOCATIONS. SIMILAR MODELS HAVE RECALLS BUT NOT MINE. GUESSING THEY PICK AND CHOOSE HOW MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX.

MY SEAT BELT SNAPPED AT THE CABLE - FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT A DIFFERENT VIN DESPITE THIS BEING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 500YARDS , SPEED NOT A FACTOR, MY ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON WHEN I PUT CODE READER IN OBD PORT IT SHOWS NO CODES. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR FEW MOMENTS. START IT BACK UP AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON UNTIL I DRIVE IT ABOUT 25 YARDS AND THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE ABS WORKS, I CAN FEEL IT IN THE PEDDLE WHEN APPLIED ABRUPTLY. I CAN ALSO HEAR A SLIGHT GROWLING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CONTINUE ON FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 500 YARDS AND BOTH LIGHTS COME BACK ON. I REPLACED BOTH WHEEL HUB ASSY IN THE FRONT, WHICH BOTH LOOKED GOOD . *TR

RECENTLY I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. FIRST AT 40MPH AND THEN MORE RECENTLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ALSO TODAY THE STABILTRACK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING THAT IT REQUIRED SERVICE. RPM'S AND SPEEDOMETER ALSO WOULD FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT POINT TO THE THROTTLE BODY HAVING OIL BLOW BY THROUGH THE THROTTLE BODY AS THERE IS NO CHECK VALVE TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING. I WILL BE CLEANING THE THROTTLE BODY TO SEE IF IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO SEEN THAT THE BRAKE POSITION SENSOR COULD BE THE CULPRIT AS WELL. I REPLACED THE IGNITION COILS AFTER SEEING THE ENGINE FLUCTUATIONS, BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE SPARKS PLUGS AS THEY WERE RECENTLY REPLACED UNDER 6K MILES AGO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A LONG STANDING AND WIDE DISPERSED ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. MANY HAVE SEEN THE POWER DROP WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THIS BUG COULD CAUSE THE MASS DAMAGE OF A TRANSMISSION IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY IF IT WERE TO DROP TO 2ND GEAR FROM 5TH OR 6TH ON AUTOMATIC DRIVE. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY. *TR

I NOTICED THE LAST FEW DAYS THE ENGINE OF MY 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WAS SLOW TO START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, BUT IT WAS STILL HOLDING A GOOD CHARGE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I WAS DRIVING IT AT 35 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. FIRST TIME IT EVER HAPPENED. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS SLOW TO START. WHEN IT DID, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A ROW. EVERY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL WORKING. I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I THEN DROVE IT TO A PARKING SPOT ABOUT 30 YDS AWAY. WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC / CHEVY WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, YET NO RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO VIDEON CHEVROLET OF PHOENIXVILLE LOCATED AT (600 NUTT RD, PHOENIXVILLE, PA 19460) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS 99,000 MILES ON IT AND IS OUTSIDE OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. MY TIMING CHAIN AND ACTUATORS ARE BEING REPLACED. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MY SPECIFIC MOTOR. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE TIME AND MILEAGE THAT IS RECOMMENDED. THE TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO NOT DRIVE CORRECTLY AND BOG DOWN AND NOT GET POWER WHEN APPLYING THE GAS. WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY I APPLIED THE GAS AND THE TRAVERSE SPUTTERED AND WOULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF. WHEN THIS MESSAGE COMES ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION PANEL, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES APPEAR: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND SERVICE STABILITYTRAC SYSTEM. AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER YOU'RE DRIVING 5 MILES AN HOUR OR 55+ MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF THE TEMPERATURE IS UNDER 40 DEGREES, IT HAPPENS MORE TIMES THAN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS GREATER THAN 40 DEGREES. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE TEMPERATURE DIPS VERY LOW. I DRIVE A MINIMUM OF 300 MILES A DAY M-F AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OF MY RESOURCES. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL, IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND WAIT FOR 3-5 MINUTES. THIS WILL RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL BUT IT DOES NOT TURN OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

I PURCHASED THIS TRAVERSE BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2019. I HAD IT 2 MONTHS AND IT STARTED WINDING AND THE POWER STEERING WAS MAKING AN AWFUL NOISE I CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM CASH FOR CARS I'M GRAHAM, NORTH CAROLINA AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. ALSO THE REAR SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK SEAT FELL APART WITHIN A WEEK OF HAVING IT. I PAID 13,000 DOLLARS FOR THE SUV AND I JUST WANT IT SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ALSO EXPERIENCED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FROM A JUMP START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN MECHANICS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETERMINED A FAILURE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,200.

WHEN DRIVING CAR FORWARD ON ROADS AND WHEN BACKING UP THE CAR/ENGINE STUTTERS. WHEN IN REVERSE THE CAR HAS CUT OFF, WHEN DRIVING FORWARD THE ENGINE RATTLES WITH A 'TIN LIKE' SOUND. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND IDLING, IT WILL CUT OFF AT TIMES. UPON RESTARTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM INITIALLY AND HAD TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT TO DETERMINE THE DIAGNOSIS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD NO LONGER FALL UNDER THE GM WARRANTY. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE AND HAVING MY CAR LOOKED AT BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALL LASTED FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STALL WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HIM THAT HIS VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE BATTERY. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BATTERY HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT NOTIFIED A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000.

THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL. EATS OIL, TICKS AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. I DON'T HAVE 3K TO FIX MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES REDUCE SPEEDS ON ITS OWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL DROP TO 2ND GEAR. THE SEVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THE DASH WILL READ TRACTION CONTROL OFF. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL ALSO MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT ITSELF AND RETURN TO NORMAL DRIVING OR IT HAS TO BE TURNED OFF TO RESET. SOME FORUM USERS SUGGEST REPLACING THE THROTTLE DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP. THIS IS CAN CAUSE CONFUSION WITH A DRIVER WHICH MAY RESULT IN A COLLISION.

WAS BRINGING MY CHILDREN HOME FROM SCHOOL AND ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, REDUCED MY SPEED AND I COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SO QUICKLY GOT OFF THE ROAD. LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW IT SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED. TURNED OFF THE CAR FEW SECONDS AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME LUCKILY I WASN'T TO FAR.

AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A STRAIGHT 2 LANE ROAD THE SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE CAME ON, ENGINE POWER WAS GREATLY REDUCED, SMOKE FROM EXHAUST AND GAS SMELL APPEARED AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY OR IN RAINY CONDITIONS.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP IN THE MORNING AND TWO HOURS LATER THE CAR WAS IDLING AND STARTED TO SHAKE WHILE IDLING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND THE MESSAGE CENTER SAID SERVICE THE STABILITRAK AND THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YOU CAN FEEL THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER.

THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ACROSS THE DASH AND THE POWERS MOTOR DOWN TO HALF POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 AND WAS LUCKY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. HAD THE MOTOR REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAU IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE TIMING. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN, THIS TIME I WAS IN TOWN LUCKILY ON A STREET THAT WASNT TOO BUSY. THIS IS NOT ONLY BECOMING COSTLY TO REPAIR BUT EXTREMELY UNSAFE WHEN IT POWERS DOWN TO HALF POWER AND YOU CAN NOT GET ABOVE 20MPH. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY VEHICLE THERE ARE CHILDREN RIDING IN THESE CARS.

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WITH ABOUT 38,000 MILES OWNED SINCE PURCHASED NEW. "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE AND WARNING LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY BEING DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER GETTING OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER. DEALER NOW WANTS $100 JUST TO DIAGNOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (MIKE SAVOIE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 1900 W MAPLE RD, TROY, MI 48084 PHONE NUMBER 248-566-6523) WHERE THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TWO YEARS THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SAME REPAIR WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHINING AND WINDING SOUND ON ACCELERATION AT ALL SPEEDS..RUMBLING NOISE FROM ENGINE. STRUT LEAKING AND FRONT SUSPENSION ISSUES. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER. ALONG WITH PTO PINION SEAL, CRANKSHAFT SEAL, WATER PUMP, HARMONIC BALANCER, STRUTS, SWAY BAR LINKS, AND DRIVE BELT.

THE RACK AND PINION SEALS ARE LEAKING BADLY. THE COST TO TEPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50MPH THE CHECK TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON THE CHECK STABILITRACK CAME ON THEN IT SAID TRACTION CONTROL ON THEN OFF MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I COULDNT STEER. LUCKILY NO CARS WERE COMING ON THE DARK WINDING ROAD I WAS ON AS I WAS STUCK NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT LOST SIGNIFICANT POWER AND STARTED RATTLING VIOLENTLY. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A BUSINESS PARKING LOT. STABILITRAK SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IT STARTED BACK UP WITH LESS VIOLENT SHAKING BUT STILL WITH REDUCED POWER, SHE WAS ABLE TO 'LIMP' TO THE PELLEGRINO DEALERSHIP IN WILLIAMSTOWN, NJ. IT HAD FAULT CODES P0300 AND P0303 FOR RANDOM ENGINE MISFIRE AND CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. THEY DIAGNOSED AS "MINIMALLY NEEDING CYLINDER #3 FUEL INJECTOR PLUS ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS AFTERWARDS TO DETERMINE FULL EXTENT OF ISSUE" FIRST THRESHOLD WOULD BE $1500 AND POSSIBLY SEVERAL THOUSAND POSSIBLY INCLUDING AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THEY OFFERED $2000 TRADE-IN TOWARD ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE. WITH HARDLY ANY DIAGNOSTICS, I WAS SURPRISED OF 'POSSIBLE ENGINE REPLACEMENT' DIAGNOSIS, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER SHOP TO DO THE FUEL INJECTOR REPLACEMENT PLUS CHECK PLUGS, COILS (ALL GOOD), CLEAN REMAINING FUEL INJECTORS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR A FRACTION OF WHAT THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED. CYLINDER COMPRESSION WAS GOOD, BUT THE SAME RANDOM MISFIRE P0300 CODE AND P0303 CODES STILL COME UP AND IDLES VERY ROUGH WITH ENGINE NOISE AND SIGNIFICANT REDUCED POWER. CLEARLY, THE INJECTOR WAS NOT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. IF FUEL IS GIVEN MORE AGGRESSIVELY, ALL THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS COME BACK UP. IN DOING ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ONLINE, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED ROUTINELY AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE WE HAD A "LUBE FOR LIFE" CONTRACT. MILEAGE IS 116,640.

RECEIVING 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL' 'TRACTION CONTROL OFF' MESSAGES

THE TWO PART SECOND ROW SEATS ARE HARD TO SLIDE UP AND BACK. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2012/ 2013. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE AND THE PROBLEM NEVER GOTTEN RESOLVED

WHILE DRIVING ABS LIGHT,TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT,AND SERVICE STABITRACK CAME BRAKES STARTED ACTING FUNNY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PUTTERED AND FINALLY SETTLED OUT SHUT OFF AT HOUSE AND THE TRUCK STARTED UP AND DID THE SAME THING

MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO THE STORE WITH OUR TWO KIDS JUST TO GRAB SOME GROCERIES. WE LIVE LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM THE GROCERY STORE. ON OUR WAY HOME THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE IDLING AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT ON US. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR DECIDED TO START SPUTTERING, SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THEN SHUT OFF. THANKFULLY ENOUGH WE WERE ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS THE CAR FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT SO WE SPENT THE $300 TO REPLACE THAT. ONCE THAT WAS REPLACED WE THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE CLEAR. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN EXCEPT I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING ABOUT 70-80 MPH. SAME THING, WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, COULDN'T GO ABOVE 40 MPH THIS TIME. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WE STARTED HAVING P0017, P0018, P0019 TROUBLE CODES POP UP. WE TRIED TO REPLACE THE SENSORS AND THEY WERE STILL POPPING UP. WE CLEARED THEM, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER THEY WOULD POP BACK UP AGAIN. THURSDAY THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE. IT WAS RUNNING GREAT, NO SHAKING, WASN'T ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT WE ARE NOW TO THE POINT THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE, AND WE HAVE TWO KIDS AND JOBS TO GET TO. WE ARE TIRED OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THIS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. MY PARENTS OWNED THIS CAR BEFORE WE DID. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS. I FIND IT PRETTY CONVENIENT THAT EVERYTHING STARTS TO GO DOWNHILL AFTER WARRANTY DATES ARE UP OR AFTER YOU HIT A CERTAIN MILEAGE. AND WITH THE STRIKE THAT JUST HAPPENED, GM ISN'T WANTING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FEAR OF LOSING MONEY YET AGAIN. ISSUE A RECALL OR YOU WILL END UP WITH LAWSUITS. EITHER WAY YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. SAVE SOME LIVES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE OF THE TRAVERSE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT BUT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ON A 2 LANE ROAD THAT GETS A LOT OF FAST TRAFFIC AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY.CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN BUT ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON.TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT LIT UP BRIEFLY A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF ENGINE SHUT OFF-THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED-SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NO ONE IS TAKING THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE ROAD! THIS IS SO CRAZY DANGEROUS-SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE ROAD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.

THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN FIXED EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID (THERE TIMES) THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SUSPENSION, STRUTS, CV/U JOINTS, OIL LEAKS, AND POSSIBLY THE COOLANT. THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY FIX THE ALIGNMENT, BUT THEY CAN'T IF THERE'S A LEAK THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PROPERLY FIX IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER GONE OFF EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BUT SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THEY NO LONGER RETURN OUR CALLS EVEN WHEN WE GO DOWN THERE, THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE WARRANTY. IT WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO US THAT THIS WAS A PREVIOUS RENTAL VEHICLE. NOW THE BRAKES MAKE SOUNDS WHILE WE DRIVE AND WHILE PRESSING DOWN THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HARPEL BROTHERS (2305 EAST 10TH ST, GLENCOE, MINNESOTA 55336, 320-864-5181) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE ELECTRIC IN THE VEHICLE HAS SHORTED OUT AND MADE THE HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING HOME IN DARK. THE NEXT DAY THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER STOP WORKING AND YOU HAVE TO TURN WIPER ON HIGH TO EVEN GET DRIVER SIDE WIPER TO WORK. THE DOOR LOCKS WITH NOT UNLOCK OR LOCK DOORS AS WELL AS WINDOWS WON'T GO UP AND DOWN.

FOR NO REASON THE SERVICE STABILTRAK LIGHT COMES ON. THE GAGES START GOING ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAYS, CITY ROADS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP "WHO SAID I CANT MAKE IT RECIPROCATE SO I JUST REPROGRAMMED THE TCM, AND IF THAT DOESNT WORK I WILL RECOMMEND ANEW TCM." IN SHORT THEY HAVE NO IDEA. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS ABLE TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT BACK TO THE FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM MODULE VS COMM MODULE. HOWEVER. I THINK THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN THAT. CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON TRAVERSE FORUMS. NHSTA PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM THE EXIT THE SUV STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT WAS COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND TRIED RESTARTING IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK AND IT WAS READING EMPTY. TWO QUARTS OF OIL WAS ADDED AND IT STILL WOULDN'T START. THE SUV HAD BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 4K MILES SINCE PURCHASED WITH NO OIL CHANGE BUT AT NO POINT DID THE OIL LIGHT COME ON TO SAY IT WAS LOW. IT WAS TOWED TO RINCON CHEVY WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE AND ENGINE TO HAVE NO COMPRESSION. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM, WALDORF HONDA, AND THEY CONTINUED TO SAY THE OIL NOT BEING CHANGED AT 3K MILES FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY CONTINUED TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT I CALLED THEM THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE THAT I NOTICED A HESITATION WHILE DRIVING. TOLD THEM A SECOND TIME IN PERSON ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. I HAVE READ OTHER INSTANCES ABOUT THESE SAME TYPES OF PROBLEMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE AS FOR RIDING IN THIS SUV WAS A MAN, AN EIGHT MONTH PREGNANT WOMAN, AND A THREE YEAR OLD CHILD THAT WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY WHERE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY ARE STILL PUTTING ON THAT IT'S MY FAULT AND ARE SURPRISED THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS OFFERING TO PAY ABOUT 30% OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. SAYING THAT REPLACING THE MOTOR IS THE ONLY OPTION AND ALSO THE ONLY WAY TO FIGURE OUT THE HESITATION ISSUE, A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

I AM ON MY 3RD ENGINE SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. SINCE DAY 1 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAC. RANDOMLY SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON FOR THOSE AS WELL AS REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE HAS LOCKED UP ON ME TWICE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR IDLES OR I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT MY SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. MY TRANSMISSION IS NOW AN ISSUE. I HAVE SPENT OVER 15K ON REPAIRS FOR A VEHICLE I BOUGHT FOR 17K..I WAS LIED TO WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BEING TOLD I WAS THE 2ND OWNER INSTEAD OF THE 5TH. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS A CODE. THE AC DOESN'T WORK, THE HEAT WOULD BLOW ALL THE TIME EVEN IF OFF AND ON COOL, NOW THE BLOWER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. THE WINDOWS DON'T OPEN.

THE AC EVAPORATOR HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR YEARS, AND IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL REFILLS OF FREON TO LOCATE THE ISSUE. FREON IS BEING BLOWN INTO THE CABIN WHICH IS A TOXIC SUBSTANCE. WHILE DRIVING THE AIR VENTS BLOW OUT A FOG FROM THE LEAK. EVENTUALLY THE FREON RUNS OUT AND THE CABIN HEATS UP CAUSING DROWSINESS WHILE DRIVING. I AM FIXING THE ISSUE BY REPLACING THE EVAPORATOR, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY WEAR OUT AGAIN AND CAUSE HEALTH CONCERNS TO MY FAMILY AND I. HTTPS://WWW.MEDICALNEWSTODAY.COM/ARTICLES/322165.PHP

WHILE DRIVING MY COMPUTER SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN. FIRST THE LIGHT ON MY DASH SAYING 'TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATED' COMES ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN THE COMPUTER REBOOTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR AND WHILE I AM DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID THIS IS NORMAL.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. WENT IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND LIGHT IS STILL ON. JERRY'S CHEVROLET SAID IT WOULD COST $300 TO FIX. BOB BELL SAID THE SAME. CHEVROLET OFFERS NO ASSISTANCE EITHER.

I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, EITHER ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK/REDUCE ENGINE POWER/TRACTION CONTROL. THE NEXT DAY IT WILL RUN FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BOUCHER CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 1421 E MORELAND BLVD, WAUKESHA, WI 53186, (262) 549-1000). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW AND THE TIMING CHAIN, ACTUATOR, TENSIONER, AND CRANK CAM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING LIKE A OLD, OLD TRACTOR. I WAS TOLD THE MOTOR KEEPS LOSING OIL PRESSURE KNOWN THAT TYPE ENGINE HAS PROBLEMS BUT YET NO RECALL. I SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PAY FOR A NEW MOTOR AND INSTALLATION ON THIS. JUST GOT THAT FIXED AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION WENT ANOTHER EXPENSE ON MY PART. WHAT NEXT!! THIS CAR IS A LEMON LAW PROBLEM!! WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT? PLEASE HELP!! WHERES THE RECALLS?? THIS 2012 TRAVERSE IS SCARY TO DRIVE NOT KNOWN WHATS NEXT GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE ROAD. CANT GO ANYWHERE THAT INVOLVES DISTANCE.. I WAS STALLED IN THE INTERSECTIONS IN TOWN ON A BUSY STREET WITH LITTLE CHILDREN AND AN ELDERLY LADY.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE, IVE ONLY OWNED IT LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND HAD ISSUES WITH SERVICE STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL AT LEAST 6 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR LOOSES POWER, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IVE EVEN HAD BLACK SMOKE COME OUT OF MY HOOD AND TAIL PIPE TRYING TO KEEP IT RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY SO MY FAMILY AND I WERENT KILLED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CODES IT THROWS MAKES NO SENSE . AFTER THEY WIPE THE CODES, LET IT SIT ITS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY TRAVERSE OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE, IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FAMILY DYING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, OR A CHILD BEING KILLED BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS LOST POWER IN THEIR ONLY CAR IN TRAFFIC AND A TRUCK HIT THEM. PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. I DONT WANNA DIE BECAUSE I BOUGHT A TRAVERSE. I CANT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT RIGHT NOW.

ONE DAY JUST STARTING MY CAR NOTICED SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE ANY AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MINI COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO NOTICED A RECALL FOR MY MODEL FOR AIRBAG ISSUES BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WILL NOT DISPERSE AS WELL WIPER ARM HAND WAS REPLACED LINES WERE CHECKED AND FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND STILL NO FLUID AVAILABLE WHICH AFFECTS VISIBILITY WHEN ANYTHING SPLASHING ON THE WINDSHIELD.

TAKATA RECALL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK SERVICE, AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE LIGHT ALSO. SICK IN TIRED OF THROWING MONEY INTO THIS TRAVERSE. I LOVE THE SUV BUT I CAN'T AFFORD ALL OF THIS MECHANICAL ISSUES.

FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITRACK LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CODES FLASHING, THEN AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT, VEHICLE WON'T GO FORWARD, IT JUST STOPS RIGHT THERE,AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS STOPPING OR STARTING.

LIFTGATE MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE THEN FALLS DOWN VERY QUICKLY WITH ALOT OF FORCE.

BACK HATCH DOES NOT STAY OPEN, WILL SUDDENLY FALL AND HIT YOU IN THE HEAD. OTHER 2012 HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE

WITHOUT ANY WARNING GOT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITY TRAK,SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT CORRELATION. I'VE LOOKED ON LINE AND HAVE NOTICED MANY TRAVERSE OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO A HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR REFUSES TO GO FASTER THAN 25 MILES PER HOUR. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 4 YEARS AGO AND IT DOES'NT EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN THE MESSAGES CAME ON AND I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL IN TO A GAS STATION BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON A 55 MILE AN HOUR ROAD AND THE CAR QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 25MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A GROCERY STORE, THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE WERE BADLY BURNED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY WARNING INDICATORS BEING ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN PART RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 WEEKS AGO FROM TAYLOR CHEVROLET. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR SOME SENSOR ISSUES THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT WHEN IT WAS SOLD TO ME AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO FIX WHEN "A PART CAME IN" THEY NEVER CALLED SO I HAD TO CONTACT THEM WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED HAVING ISSUES. THIS IS WHERE I HAVE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE TODAY WHEN A SEMI ALMOST HIT ME WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHICH APPARENTLY IS AN ISSUE ON THESE TRUCKS THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THE CONTROL PANEL IS DISPLAYING SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE LOSING POWER. I LOST A DAY OF WORK SO FAR AND NEED MY VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN MY BILLS AND KEEP MY JOB. THIS ALL HAPPENED ONE DAY AFTER GETTING MY TRUCK BACK FROM BEING SERVICED

WHILE MOVING THE VEHICLE JERKS AS IF SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND ALL IS OK. CHECK ENGINE GIVES CODES AND THEN THEY DISAPPEAR. THE LIGHTS FLICKER INSIDE AND OUT. THESE SYMPTOMS COME AND GO. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE CHECKED OUT THIS VEHICLE AND CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. ALSO TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO CHEVROLET. ALSO THE VEHICLE IS BEING ILLEGALLY MONITORED AND TRACKED. THIS COULD BE CAUSING ALL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE.

MY CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND STILL IS ONLY AT 70,000 MILES. PRIOR TO A 1000 MILE ROAD TIME WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN I WENT IN FOR A REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TO PREP FOR THE TRIP. AFTER GETTING BACK MY STRUTS WENT OUT, APPARENTLY A CHEVY DEFECT. AFTER PAYING UPWARDS OF $1,000.00 TO REPLACE AND CHECK EVERYTHING WE HEADED ON THE ROAD. NO LESS THAT 60 MILES FROM HOME, WHILE GOING 65 ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. POWER STEERING, AC, THE WHOLE THING JUST SHUT DOWN! WE BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO BE SAFE FROM THE TRAFFIC, AGAIN, MY CHILDREN ARE IN THIS CAR IN 90+ DEGREE WEATHER ON THE SIDE OF A FREEWAY! I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS AND FINDING OUT THAT CHEVY, AMERICAN MADE CRAP, HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE TO FAMILIES, PUTTING THEM AT RISK, LEAVING THEM STRANDED AND HAS NOT DONE ANY RECALLS ON THIS DANGEROUS MATTER. THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN, IT LOST POWER, IT LOST EVERYTHING AND WE WOULD HAVE BE SLAMMED BY MULTIPLE OTHER CARS IF MY HUSBAND DIDN'T MAKE A FAST MOVE OFF THE FREEWAY. HOW CAN A LONG TIME, AGAIN AMERICAN, CAR MANUFACTURER PRODUCE SUCH A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO 100K MILES? SO NOW I AM PAYING ON A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WILL COST BECAUSE I HAVE TO TOW IT TO SOMEONE WHILE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. DO NOT BUY CHEVY!

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP, AND OUR CHEVY TRAVERSE SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND I TEMPORARILY LOST POWER STEERING/CONTROL OF THE CAR, HAD NO ACCELERATION, AND ALL INSTRUMENTS WENT WONKY (TURNING ON/OFF, GOING BACK AND FORTH). I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP ONTO A DANGEROUSLY NARROW SHOULDER WITH MINIMAL ROOM, AND HAD TO COAST THE CAR TO THE END OF THE OFF-RAMP-- AND THEN WAS STUCK AT THE OFF RAMP AT A RED LIGHT IN RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AT THE SUGGESTION OF OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS EXITING OUR DRIVEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER 4 DAYS OF RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS AND TEST DRIVING IT, THEY FINALLY CONCLUDED IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION MODULE. WE NOW HAVE TO PAY $ 1,700.00 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR THE CAR, AS WERE ONE YEAR OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY (BUT ONLY 55K MILES ON THE CAR). AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, OUR TRAVERSE ONLY HAD APPROX. 57K MILES ON IT.

MY TRAVERSE CAME TO SUDDEN STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH NO WARNING. I HAD IT TOW TO A MECHANIC WHO FOUND THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. NO LIGHTS, NO NOISE, ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WAS CLEAR. TRAVERSE HAD 82K MILES. WITH RESEARCH AND TALKING TO MULTIPLE CHEVY DEALERSHIP MECHANICS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM HAPPENING WITH TRAVERSE. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, LUCKY I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET GOING 25 MILES. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME!!! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED DEATH TO MY FAMILY!!! THIS IS A DEATH TRAP AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH! PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN LOOK DEEPER INTO THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING CODES P0018 AND P0019, THE VEHICLE WILL START TO IDLE AND THE TRACTION CONTROLS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO SAFETY MODE NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 30 MILES/HOUR. MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS INDICATING ISSUES WITH TIMING BELT, BUT THAT IT WAS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH TIMING BELT TENSIONERS GOING BAD.

TRAVERSE CAME TO SUDDEN STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH NO WARNING. TOW TO MECHANIC WHO FOUND THERE WAS NO OIL. ZERO OIL LEAKS LOCATED; APPEARED TO HAVE BURNED ALL OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. TRAVERSE HAD 81K MILES AND WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AT TIME. ALMOST 7 THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT ON NEW ENGINE. WE ALSO OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH 72K MILES THAT WE RECENTLY DISCOVERED HAD NO OIL ON DIPSTICK IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL, WHICH ONLY GOT IT TO BOTTOM OF DIPSTICK. WE HAVE NOW HEARD MANY EXAMPLES (FRIENDS/FAMILY) IN WHICH THIS IS HAPPENING TO CHEVROLET'S WITH UNDER 100K MILES.

ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. NO OIL IN ENGINE. NEVER HAD A LEAK, CHANGED OIL 2800 MILES BEFORE INCIDENT, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READ NORMAL, NO IDIOTS LIGHTS ON THE DASH. WHERE DID THE ALL THE OIL GO IN 2600 MILES?

MY COMPLAINT IS WHILE I'M DRIVING MY CAR IS IT LOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS DOWN AND MOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK, LUCKLY I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE WRECKING. WE HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF CHEVY TRAVERSE.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH ON THE HIGHWAY AND A DISPLAY SAID SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF CAR. ATTEMPTED ONE RESTART BUT THE ENGINE SOUNDED ROUGH SO SHUT IT OFF IMMEDIATELY. CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC FOUND 3 CODES RELATED TO THE TIMING CHAIN AND METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL AND FILTER. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY, BUT WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 9830 WATERVILLE SWANTON RD, WHITEHOUSE, OH 43571, (419) 877-7658) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURES RECURRED A THIRD TIME WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE FAILED AND THE STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO YARK CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

WHEN I TURN MY AIR ON AND MY SPEED LIMIT HITS 25 MILES PER HR MY CAR SHAKES AT A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND IT WAS REALLY SCARY ON THE FREEWAY CAUSE I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT CAUSE IT WAS SHAKING SO BAD. THEN WHEN I LET GO OF MY GAS FOR 5 SECONDS TO STOP THE SHAKING IT STALLS AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PUMP AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO MAKE IT DRIVE. IT ALSO SMELLS LIKE MY GAS IS LEAKING AND IT IS WORSE WHEN I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. I'M AFRAID IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE. MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS SOMETIMES FOR A WEEK BUT WOULD TURN ON ALL OF A SUDDEN AND THEY ARE BRAND NEW HEADLIGHTS. MY AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AND ON EVERY OTHER WEEK. ITS JUST FRUSTRATING HAVING THIS CAR CAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON THE DASH BOARD SAYING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

THE SRS LIGHT INDICATOR ON DASH BOARD CONTINUES TO COME ON/OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN TURNS OFF.

AC DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, FREON LEAKINGOUT IN 2018. SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES IN 2018 ( A MINIMUM OF 3 TIMES) FOR THIS PROBLEM (BLOWING HOT AIR INSTEAD OF COLD) SUPPOSEDLY ADDRESSED BUT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM IN 2019. SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD. HELP

RECENTLY, THE SERVICE AIR BAG COMES ON THE DASH BOARD AND FLASH IN THE DISPLAY WHEN I START THE ENGINE. IT COMES ON WHEN I'M SITTING AT THE LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS RANDOM AND IT HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN THE PAST. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF ME SITING AT THE LIGHT AND THE SERVICE AIR BAGS POPS UP.THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AS WE ALL KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR AIRBAGS.

LIFT GATE FALLS AND WILL HIT HEAD IF STANDING UNDER THE GATE WHILE OPEN. OTHER 2012 ARE ALREADY UNDER RECALL

EMAIL TO JACK DANIELSON FROM CONSTITUENT REGARDING HER 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. *AS *JS *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SUDDENLY DRIVE ROUGH AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OR A BLOWN TIRE OR SOMETHING. I LOST POWER AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. THINGS BEGAN TO LIGHT UP ON MY DASH ABOUT THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM NEEDING SERVICING. THIS WAS TERRIFYING SINCE CARS WERE FLYING BY ME AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE EVEN ON LOCAL ROADS AT SLOWER SPEEDS SUCH AS 30MPH. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND FAMILIES ARE IN THESE VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE. I AM ALSO GETTING A CHECK ENGINE CODE FOR TIMING. MY VEHICLE IS JUST AT 70K MILES AND I USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER TO/FROM WORK AND PRIMARILY JUST IN MY TOWN. FURTHEST I DRIVE IS 20 MINUTES DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO A RELATIVE AND BACK. PLEASE FIX THIS WITH A RECALL! IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! THE RECALL SHOULDN'T BE ISSUED ONCE THERE IS A TRAGIC DEATH, IT SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE!! I'VE ALREADY HAD TO DEAL WITH MY WIPE BLADES COMING OFF AND HITTING EACH OTHER BECAUSE THE BOLTS CAME LOOSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME IN HEAVY RAIN AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT! THIS STABILITRAK AND TIMING RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

THE TRUCK LOOSE POWER AND LIGHT TRACTION CONTROL NEED SERVICES SOON AND ENGINE LUCK OF POWER IS TO GO OVER 20 MILES

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE AIRPORT AND ONCE TO MY WIFE ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK. BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AT 65+ MPH. DRIVING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN VIOLENT SHAKING, AND LOSS OF POWER. CANNOT STEER AT 65 MPH THAT IS LITERALLY DEADLY. SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAD A 6,4,AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED AS A RECALL IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. I WENT THROUGH 16 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON A CHEVROLET FORUM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE? FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT MAY NOT BE WORTH TAKING INTO A MECHANIC AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO NAIL DOWN THE ISSUE AND I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO POUR INTO A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT HAVE A SURE CURE. ABAOLUTELY RIDICULOUS TO BE DOING FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO STEER. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB JOHNSON CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 1271 W RIDGE RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14615, (866) 915-9664) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,500.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRAVERSE ON AN ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DASH SAID SERVICE STABILITRAC, ENGINE POWER REDUCED... JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I LOST ACCELERATION AND HAD TO TAKE THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID GETTING RUN OVER BY A SEMI THAT WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED! I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ISN'T A RECALL OR SOMETHING FOR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE!!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. EVERYTHING WENT OUT ON MY DASH SPEED ODOMETER, AND GAS LIGHT HAND . I WAS LOSING POWER. THEN I NOTICE IT SAID SERVICE STABILITRAK CONTROL OFF.

STABILITRAK/ TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT REASON. ABS BRAKES LIGHT COMES ON IN MESSAGE CENTER. VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND ENGINE IDLES ROUGH. OCCURS SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING DRIVER/PASSENGERS STRANDED IN DANGEROUS ROADWAYS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES AND IS SERVICED REGULARLY. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED TWO MONTHS AGO FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHERE AN ALIGNMENT TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. TWO MONTHS LATER, PROBLEM RETURNED.

I NOTICED THE CAR RUNNING A BIT ROUGHER THAN NORMAL AND ADVISED MY HUSBAND. THEN THE CAR TOOK A COUPLE ATTEMPTS TO START. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED THE ISSUE WITH AN OEM READER AND RECEIVED ERROR CODES THAT INDICATED IT MIGHT BE THE TIMING CHAIN. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO AGREED BUT ADVISED US THAT GM HAD A TIB WHICH EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH THEIR TIMING CHAINS. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GM DEALERSHIP. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS LOOSE AND ADVISED THAT IT DAMAGED THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $9000. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT, ALTHOUGH THE SAME ISSUE, THE TIB DID NOT APPLY TO OUR VIN. I HAVE CONTACT GM SEVERAL TIMES TO DISCUSS WHY THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH TRAVERSES FOR SEVERAL CONSECUTIVE MODEL YEARS, HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE AS THEIR CANNED ANSWER IS IT'S OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WE HAVE 107,000 MILES ON OUR VEHICLE AND WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD WE BEEN AWARE OF THE CATASTROPHIC ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND SEE SO MANY FAMILIES EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THEY OFFERED US $3000 TOWARDS A NEW CAR, HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO READILY ACCEPT A CAR PAYMENT. WE HAVE TWO SONS IN COLLEGE AND ARE NOT LOOKING AT HAVING TO GO INTO DEBT TO CORRECT A PROBLEM THAT WE DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE HAVING. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED A 153 POINT INSPECTION ONLY 4 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AND THEY DID NOT REPORT ANY ISSUES TO US. WITH THE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS REPORTING THIS ISSUE, I HOPE THERE WILL BE AN INVESTIGATION AND COMPENSATION TO THOSE OF US WHO TRUSTED IN GM TO MANUFACTURER A CAR THAT WE COULD ENJOY AFTER IT WAS PAID FOR. WE PAID OUR FINAL PAYMENT IN NOVEMBER OF 2018.

'SERVICE STABILITRACK' 'TRACTION CONTROL OFF' LOSS OF ENGINE POWER LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE CAR TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW AND TRACTION CONTROL TO TURN OFF . THIS ALMOST CAUSED US TO HIT ANOTHER CAR WITH THE LOSS OF POWER BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF RESTART AND DRIVE WITH THE ERROR WARNINGS GONE . THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY

AT 30K MILES THE STABILITY AND WOULD PUT MY CAR IN LIMP MODE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ONTHE INTERSTATES. SUDDENLY DROPPING THE SPEED TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I DEALT WITH THIS BY KEEPING THE STABILITRAC TURNED OFF. NOW AT 100K IT TURNED ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. REEDING BLOGS I HAVE FOUND NO FIX FOR THIS. THE VEHICLE NOW FILLS WITH FUMES. I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. I CAN NOT USE MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS IN ALMOST EVERY DRIVING SITUATION.

IN DECEMBER OF 2018 I TOOK MY CAR TO DIANE SAUER IN WARREN OHIO BECAUSE THE STABILIZER TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING VERY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO DIANE SAUER AND SERVICE MANAGER KEITH SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN JANUARY 2019 WITH SAME PROBLEM BUT WORSE. SO BAD I GOT OFF THE BY-PASS AND HAD IT TOWED. DIANE SAUER HAD MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AND NEVER CALLED ABOUT THE CAR. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY CALL THEM. AFTER TWO WEEKS THEY SAY THE ENGINE WAS GONE. KEITH TOLD GM IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE. I PROVIDED GM AND DIANE SAUER WITH ALL RECEIPTS OF MY OIL CHANGE. I BOUGHT THAT CAR FROM DIANE SAUER BRAND NEW!!! I TOOK CARE OF THE CAR AND AFTER SEVEN YEARS THEY SAY THE ENGINE IS GONE!!!! NO WAY!!! I TOOK GREAT CARE OF THAT CAR!!! DIANE SAUER NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS!!!! DIANE SAUER WOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS WITHOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS WHO SUPPORT YOUR BUSINESS!!!! STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCTS!!!! BE HONEST!!! THE TRUST IS GONE!!!!!!

PURCHASED CAR USED IN DECEMBER '15. NUMEROUS TIMES CAR WAS DRIVING AND A WARNING WAS GIVEN ON DASH "REDUCE ENGINE OWR, SERVICE STABLITRAK". CAR WAS TAKENTO MARTY FELDMAN IN LIVONIA, MI (MAY 17)AND PER INSPECTION STATED NEEDED NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. PROBLEMS PERSISTED WITH SAID VEHICLE FAST FWD TO MARCH 2019 CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL. VICTORY CHEVY IN MILAN, MI STATED TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT NEEDS REPLACED. ONLINE A QUICK SEARCH FINDS THESE SAME ISSUES WITH THOUSANDS OF TRAVERSE N EQUINOX MODELS!!! A RECALL IS NEEDED

THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A NOISE IN THE ENGINE, TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. A WEEK LATER THE CAR STARTED TO DRIVE BADLY AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED WORSE. AFTER WORK I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START. THE NUMBERS ON THE SENSOR READER STATED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. WE GOT IT SERVED BY A MECHANIC AND THE TIMING CHAIN WHEN IT SLIPPED DAMAGED THE ENGINE. NOW WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRAVERS FOR OVER A YEAR AND WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE WE NOW NEED TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURE WERE OF NO HELP TO US. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MENTION, WE DID HAVE OUR OIL CHANGED REGULARLY.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS INTERMITTENT AS AN ICON ALSO IN TEXT OF DRIVERS DISPLAY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR FOUR MONTHS AND HAVE HAD IT TO A GM SERVICE DEALER TWICE. FIRST TRIP COSTED $254.15 FOR AN IMPACT SENSOR AND DIAGNOSIS. TWO DAYS LATER LIGHTS ONE AGAIN THIS TIME TENSIONER KIT WAS REPLACED. IT'S BEEN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AND THE LIGHTS ARE BACK ON AGAIN. IT HAPPENS ANYTIME, DRIVING OR BEING STARTED, NO ROUGH TERRAIN JUST CRUISING AND LIGHTS WILL COME ON.

CAR BEGAN RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH WITH LACK OF POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND OBD SHOWED CODES OF P0016 AND P0017. VEHICLE HAD A BAD TIMING CHAIN WHICH WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $3200. VEHICLE SHOWS 66409 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

WHILE DRIVING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL THE DASH DINGS AND SAYS TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 15MPH. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WITH THE KIDS AS IT IS UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED TO 20 MPH. ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCE POWER CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES WERE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT REGAINED NORMAL ACCELERATION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR. THE REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LOSE ACCELERATION. THE SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR FAILED AND THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTED REPAIR FOR THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT, WHICH ENDED IN 2017. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,300.

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER RECOMMENDS ISSUING A RECALL NOTICE ON THE VEHICLE MODELS ENGINE. *AS *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THEN THE VEHICLE HAS VERY LITTLE POWER TO ACCELERATE OR NAVIGATE HILLS. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED TO ME, I PULLED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND IT JUST WASN'T RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND I HAD VERY LITTLE POWER TO DRIVE FORWARD.

I'VE HAD THIS 2012 TRAVERSE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. AT FIRST THE TRACTION CONTROL WOULD COME ON AFTER SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND TRUCK WILL PULL HARD AND BARELY EXCEED 40MPH. I PULL OVER, TURN OFF ENGINE FOR APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE. THEN RESTART ENGINE AND STABILITRAK WOULD GO OFF. NOW THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN MID TRAFFIC. IT ALSO COMES ON WHILE IN WARMING ENGINE IN THE MORNINGS. I HAVE TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT GOES OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND "STABILITRAK" SUDDENLY APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. NEXT, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. FELDMAN CHEVROLET OF LIVONIA (32570 PLYMOUTH RD, LIVONIA, MI) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KNOEPFLER CHEVROLET (100 JACKSON ST, SIOUX CITY, IA 51101, (866) 520-9856) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE 35R PLATE FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,500. *TT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS FIXED.*JB

THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN A RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU BUT SITTING IDLE. THEN SEVERAL CODES FLASHED ON MY DASH ABOUT TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK AND LIMP MODE AND IT STARTED TO STINK. WE TOWED IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT TELL WHAT CODE WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE SO HE CLEARED THE CODES AND IT RAN FINE AFTER THAT. AFTER A COUPLE ADDITIONAL TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC, WE DID HAVE A COUPLE ISSUES SEEMINGLY RELATED AND HE ENDED UP REPLACING A COIL AND ALL THE SPARK PLUGS. NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING UP THE ROAD TO OUR HOUSE AND JUST BEFORE TURNING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP ON THE DASH. SHE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND CALLED ME. WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED THE CAR AND GOT THE SAME RESULTS. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THE CAR DID NOT START. AFTER IT ARRIVED AT OUR MECHANIC, HE COULD NOT START IT, AND HE COULD ONLY READ ONE CODE AND IT SAID NONDEFINING CODE AND HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HE THEN CLEARED THE CODE AND IT IS RUNNING FINE AGAIN. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND SHE WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND CANNOT BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT HAPPENED. JUST LOOK AT THIS: [XXX] I AM NOT SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR A NON CHEVY VEHICLE. *TR PARTS 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).

WHILE DRIVING , STOPPED AT LIGHT. STARTED TO DRIVE AND ABS TROUBLE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP. I HAD TO DRIVE AS IF ALL MY BRAKES WHERE ON , THEY HEAT UP AND SMOKE. PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY HUSBAND GO OUT TO CHECK AND TROUBLE IS GONE. ACK TO NORMAL . NO TROUBLE LOCKED IN AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED . DEALER SAID CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS IT IS BROUGHT IN WITH TROUBLE. IT'S HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT ONCE A MONTH . ALMOST GOT IN ACCIDENT . CHEVY. REDS TO ADDRESS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. GOING TO GET RID OF CAR IF THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE FIX BEFORE I GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY KIDS. CHEVY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND CREATE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP GETTING KILLED FROM IT . IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN WIDE AND WOULD NOT REMAIN OPEN. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFTGATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-4878296804. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. *DT*JB

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN TURNING. THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FLUID AND THE THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. THE RACK AND PINION HAD TOTAL FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. WE HAD THE PUMP REPLACED ONCE BEFORE AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. ON THE 2ND REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER CHANGED THE PUMP NUMBER TO THE 'UPGRADED PART' THEY ALSO SAID, 'GM KNOWS ABOUT THE FAULTY PUMPS AND ARE REPLACING THEM WITH THIS NEWER PART.' THE DEALER REPORTED TO US THAT THE PUMP NEEDED REPLACED BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T, THE PUMP WOULD GO OUT DUE TO THE DAMAGE IT SUSTAINED. SO, WE DID THAT WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FROM GM AS WELL IN A PHONE CALL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE, RECEIVED ERRORS "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF". SHE SAID THE VEHICLE COULDN'T GO ABOVE 20 MPH AND SHE WAS ON A 50MPH ROAD. SHE WAS VERY FRANTIC WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR. DROVE IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO TOLD US IT'S A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR ISSUE GOING TO COST $400. STARTED SEARCHING AND FOUND MANY FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND APPEARS NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG. VERY UNSAFE. NEED A RECALL. HAPPENING TOO OFTEN.

THE FIRST NIGHT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW 40 DEGREES MY CAR WOULDN'T START SO I REPLACED MY BATTERY SPENDING $188 FOR A BRAND NEW BATTERY. THE VERY NEXT MORNING THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T START SO I GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP ME OFF. IT CRANKED WITH NO ISSUE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 35MPH. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO TURN AROUND AND GO HOME AND MY CAR WOULD ONLY REVERSE AND WOULD NO LONGER MOVE IN THE DRIVE SELECTION. IN NEUTRAL THE CAR LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T DRIVE. I EVENTUALLY DROVE IN REVERSE ILLEGALLY DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I ENVENTUALLT MADE IT HOME AND LET MY CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR WHILE CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE. WHEN I WENT BACK TO RESTART THE CAR IS ACTING AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD. THIS WAS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS WITH 4 CHILDREN INSIDE BUT UNSAFE TO BE STUCK IN TRAFFIC WILL NO WAY TO ACCELERATE IN DRIVE. MY CAR WILL NO LONGER CRANK WITHOUT A JUMP I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT HE COULDN'T SEE THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED THAT I SIMPLY TRADE IT IN WHICH ISN'T AN OPTION CURRENTLY.

LIFTGATE CLOSED ON ITS OWN AFTER OPENING ONLY THREE QUARTER'S THE WAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VALLEY AUTO CENTER (43555 SIERRA HWY, LANCASTER, CA 93534, (661) 951-1100) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,184.

THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN IT WILL GIVE YOU A MISFIRE IN ONE OF THE CYLINDERS. ALSO THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO ALMOST SHUT DOWN. THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE CAR ALSO FEELS FUNNY. MY MECHANIC HAS CHECKED EVERYTHING AND CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE STUFF THAT I DESCRIBE BEFORE IS THE LATEST THINGS TO OCCUR.. I HAVE COMPLAINED FOR A LONG TIME NOW ABOUT THE ILLEGAL TRACKING OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL OF MY VEHICLES. I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THE MEDIA AND TO THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS HERE WHERE I LIVE IN GWINNETT COUNTY GEORGIA. THIS ILLEGAL TRACKING IS BEING DONE FOR THE PURPOSE OF GANG STALKING.....THE TRACKING INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE AND ALL MY OTHER VEHICLES HAS BEEN SHARED WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET CADILLAC (3855 EASTEX FWY, BEAUMONT, TX 77706, (409) 892-5050) WHERE IT WAS ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CHEVROLET ISSUED A REPORT THAT ENGINES IN THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE METAL SHAVINGS, WHICH COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT POINTED OUT KNOCKING NOISES TO THE DEALER WHEN SHE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,084.

WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON I-95 NORTH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HEAR DING DING DING THEN LOOSE POWER AND CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE. SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON IN DASH. VEHICLES BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME AS MY CAR SLOWED FOR NO REASON AND NO BRAKE LIGHTS. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND SCARY TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MANY ANGRY MOTORISTS HONKING AND DISPLAYING RUDE GESTURES AS I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD VEHICLE TOWED AND TOLD WAS A SENSOR THAT CAUSED IT. NOW 3 LATER SAME THING DRIVING HOME FROM CHEERLEADING PRACTICE WITH 3 YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR. I HAVE READ MANY CASES OF SAME THING WITH THIS TYPE CAR ON CHEVY TRAVERSE FORUMS.

MY FUEL LIGHT CAME ON SO I WENT TO THE NEAREST STATION TO FILL UP. I ALWAYS TURN MY CAR OFF WHILE PUMPING. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR AFTERWARDS, IT ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO START. I PROCEEDED TO LEAVE THE STATION. AS I GOT ON THE ROAD MY LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON WARNING ME THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, THAT THE STABILITY SOMETHING NEEDS SERVICED, THEN SOMETHING ABOUT POWER REDUCED. I QUICKLY WENT FROM 45 MPH TO LESS THAN 20 ON A FLAT ROAD. SCARED ME BC I HAD MY FAMILY IN MY CAR AND ON A ONE LANE ROAD TRYING TO GET TO THE SIDE SO OTHERS COULD PASS ME.

I WAS DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, SHORTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED. NO LIGHTS. WHEN I BRAKE CAR, SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER AND THEN JERKS TO ENGAGE BRAKES. SHOP RAN CODES AND NOTHING CAME BACK.

WHILE DRIVING ON A ON A BUSY STREET VEHICLE- APPROX 30MPH - UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THIS VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED / DOWNSHIFTED TO A CRAWL. WE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND NARROWLY AVOIDED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS OF PEOPLE BEHIND US. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AS OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. ALSO, DOOR LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THEIR OWN. ONCE WE GOT TO A SAFE SPOT MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY BEGAN FLASHING, SERVICE STABILTRAK; SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL; PARK ASSIST OFF; TRACTION CONTROL ON; TRACTION CONTROL OFF. TOWED THIS CAR TO THE DEALER FOR AN EXORCISM SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE. FIRST THING THEY DID WAS REPLACE THE BATTERY. AS THEY TELL IT A BAD / FUNKY BATTERY MIGHT CAUSE BAD THINGS TO THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION MODULE. $400 LATER ISSUES PERSIST. NOW I AM TOLD I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OUTRIGHT - $5500. THIS JUST CAN'T BE RIGHT. THIS IS BARELY 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH JUST OVER $115K. SERVICED REGULARLY / WITHOUT FAIL. SHAME ON YOU CHEVROLET. I'M BETTING NO CHEV EXEC, DEALER OR MECHANIC WOULD EVER TRUST THIS CAR FOR THEIR FAMILY VEHICLE

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR INITIALLY DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER AND SHOOK A LOT THEN EVENTUALLY CAUGHT UP AND DROVE NORMALLY. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AT HOME, IT SHOOK AGAIN AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF.

PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND CHECK ENGINE STARTED FLASHING THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL SAID IT WAS OFF AND THE STABILIZATION TRAK SERVICE THE POWER OF THE VECHICAL WENT DOWN AND STARTED SHAKING. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF WAITED 15 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT IT HESITATED AND WAS DEALING ROUGH.. STABILIZER CONTROL ON FLASHES ON THE SCREEN AND CHECK ENGINE WENT SOLID AND CAR SEEMED FINE. I'M NOW CALLING THE DEALER SHIP TO GET IT IN. BUT I READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY NO RECALL? D CAR WAS SHAKING.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE BEGAN LOSING POWER, AND TOTALLY LOST POWER, AS I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. NO NOISES, NO WARNING, NO MALFUNCTION LAMPS UNTIL VEHICLE STOPPED. ALL HAPPENED WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE. REPAIR SHOP SAID ENGINE WAS A LOSS DUE TO INTERNAL DAMAGE. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRAVERSE AND THE STABILITY AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED CAME ON AND AUTOMATICALLY MY CAR CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MY SON PUSHED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT KEEPS HAPPENING. I'M LUCKY SO FAR THAT I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I MIGHT HAVE BEEN KILLED.

POWER STEERING HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES (NOW MAY HAVE TO BE A FOURTH), ONCE PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP (WAS DEEMED CERTIFIED BY A CHEVY DEALER AT TIME OF PURCHASE HOWEVER I BELIEVE THIS WAS FRAUDULENT). MECHANIC SAID (AT FIRST REPLACEMENT) POWER STEERING FROM MY PURCHASE WAS AFTER MANUFACTURERED PARTS. THIS MEANS WHEN I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 27,000 MILES IN 2012, POWER STEERING PUMP HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT ON I-70 ONCE GO 75 MPH. THE VEHICLE MAKES NOISES WHEN TURNING. NOW AGAIN, LEAKING STEERING FLUID AND ENGINE FLUID. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL, ETC... I CALLED GM AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE STEERING HOWEVER IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS YEAR AND MODEL HAVING POWER STEERING PUMP, RACK AND PINION COMPLAINTS. I HAD ALSO BEEN TOLD BY A LEXUS DEALER/SERVICE IN 2014 THAT IT NEEDED A RACK AND PINION OR POWER STEERING PUMP. GM DEALERSHIP LATER DETERMINED IT WAS POWER STEERING PUMP. HOW MANY POWER STEERING PUMPS DO I HAVE TO PUT ON THIS CAR? I CONTACTED GM, THEY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY DESPITE OTHER VINS/YEARS HAVING THESE EXACT ISSUES. CLEARLY, THERE IS SOMETHING DEFECTIVE IN THESE SUBS THAT WOULD CAUSE SO MANY POWER STEERING PUMPS TO FAIL. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYONE TAKES THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND DEFECTIVE CAR SERIOUS?

TIMING CHAIN. VEHICLE HAS SERVICE STABILIZATION SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGES COME UP ON DISPLAY. VEHICLE VERY SLUGGISH AND WILL SAY "REDUCE POWER" ON DISPLAY. DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT 55 MPH AND CAR GOES COMPLETELY LIMP. HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF BUSY ROAD WITH WIFE AND KIDS IN CAR AND HAVE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP, NO POWER TO WHEELS. LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

WHILE BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS DURING A TURN, I EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING THAT IS REGAINED WITHIN MOMENTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AS OF YET. IN MAY OF 2017 I HAD MY POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACED DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH INCONSISTENT POWER STEERING PRESSURE DURING TURNS. THIS WAS A SIMILAR, YET SEPERATE, ISSUE THAN WHAT IS CURRENTLY BEING EXPERIENCED NOW.

"SERVICE AIR BAG" IS INDICATED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. THIS HAPPENS, STOPPED, OR WHILE IN MOTION. IT COMES AND GOES AT NO SET TIME.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING FORWARD DOWN A CITY STREET IN TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. DEALER DID NOT SPECIFY WHAT PART OF ENGINE BROKE, BUT IT WAS A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND FAILED TO RESPOND. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO MOVE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A BUS TERMINAL WALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT, PASSENGER, AND REAR PASSENGER OCCUPANT SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. **TR *TR

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE THAT I PURCHASED USED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE IT STARTED TO DEVELOP A WHINING NOISE AND THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE WHEN TRYING TO PARK DUE TO THE STEERING SEIZING UP. I'VE ALSO HAD A FEW TIMES THAT I WAS VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE MAKING A U-TURN DUE TO THE STEERING BEING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND HAVING TO PRESS HEAVILY ON THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER FOR THE STEERING PUMP TO PROVIDE ENOUGH POWER TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT WAS THIS UNSAFE BEFORE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A FEW DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR AN INSPECTION AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THE SAME THING, THE STEERING WAS DEFECTIVE AND EVERYTHING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY QUOTES WERE ANYWHERE FROM $2550 TO $3200. SO I BROUGHT IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE HOPING THAT THEY WOULD COVER SOME OF THE CHARGES TO REPLACE THE STEERING MECHANISM. THEY COMPLETED THE WORK, BUT GM REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE NEARLY $2700 IN CHARGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPETE LOSS OF POWER. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,163.

WHILE DRIVING, TRACTION CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY WENT OFF, THEN AUTOMATICALLY WENT BACK ON. HAPPENED AS I WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY ROAD. WENT OFF AGAIN, THEN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN, CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE NEXT PARKING LOT. GRADUALLY RAMPED UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH. TRACTION CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY CAME "ON" BUT SO DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND IT WOULD DRIVE (BUT I DID NOT GET OVER 40 MPH OR FURTHER THAN AROUND THE BLOCK). CHECK ENGINE STILL ON. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE AS HAD BEEN ABOUT 15 MINUTES EARLIER.

TAKATA RECALL. STABILITRACK AUTOMATICALLY GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR INTERSTATE THE SMELL OF RAW GAS COMES THROUGH THE CABIN, VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND STARTS TO STALL. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN NOT JUST ONCE. I HAVE RESEARCHED COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS.

THERE WERE MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS WERE I AM DRIVING AND MY CAR WILL INSTANTLY SLOW DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SOMETHING SAYING TRACTION CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP THE LIGHTS HAD WENT OFF AND THEY JUST LOOKED AT ME, SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T FIX SOMETHING THAT'S NOT THERE. IT'S SCARED ME BECAUSE IT DECREASES SPEED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE OTHER CARS OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING AND WE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I'M NERVOUS ABOUT MY CAR WHILE DRIVING IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY.

MY TRAVERSE SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. TURNING AT INTERSECTIONS AND AT STOP SIGNS MAKES ME SO NERVOUS. MY TRAVERSE HESITATES WHEN TURNING CAUSING THE CAR TO MOVE SLOWER. IT IS ALSO MAKING NOISES OUT OF NOWHERE. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL NOW. WHEN I DROPPED MY CHILDREN OFF AT DAYCARE AND CAME BACK OUT TO THE CAR I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. THIS WAS VERY UNEXPECTED AND SO DANGEROUS! I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS ANY MAJOR ISSUES ESPECIALLY THIS. I'M DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING DOES NOT INCLUDE MY YEAR! THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS FOR MY YEAR FOR THIS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS!

COMPRE EL CARRO HACE DOS MESES Y POR TRES VECES ME ENCIENDE SERVICE STABILITRAK LUEGO TRACTION CONTROL OFF DESPUES ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED .EL CARRO TUVO ESTE PROBLEMA CUANDO IBA CONDUCIENDO Y SE ME PRESENTO COMO UN PELIGRO LA REDUCCIN TAN ABRUPTA ,TENGO ENTENDIDO QUE HAY MUCHOS CARROS CON ESTE PROBLEMA DESEARA SABER QUE PUEDO HACER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAILGATE, WHEN OPENED, WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,300.

BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AND HALF AGO AND SEVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON SO DEALERSHIP FIXED PROBLEB BECAUSE ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON 4 MONTHS LATER.

POWER STEERING FLUID STARTED LEAKING

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE - IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS THE I WILL SMELL A STRANGE CHEMICAL ODER, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND BLACK SMOKE WILL COME FROM THE EXHAUST. THEN THE TRAVERSE WILL DRAMATICALLY REDUCE SPEED. THIS SEEM TO OCCUR ON HUMID OR DAYS WITH WET WEATHER. I WILL PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, WHEN I START IT UP AGAIN IT RESETS BUT THEIR IS SMOKE OR STEAM COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UPON LOOKING IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM WIRE HARNESS. MY SHOP CAN NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE QUICK DROP IN SPEED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE READ A LOT OF BLOGS ON THIS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SIMILAR ISSUE AT EARLY MODELS THAT HAVE HAD RECALLS

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE RD WITH MY TODDLER WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY THE CAR BEGAN TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR THAT SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A MESSAGE ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRACK NEEDS SERVICING. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND WITH CARS FLYING BY IT WAS TERRYING TRYING TO PULL OFF SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT INCREASE IN SPEED WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER PULLING OFF I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGES. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IT STRUGGLED TO MOVE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THEN WAITED 10 MINUTES. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT NO OTHER MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3/30/17. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. THE SERVICE ADVISORS CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY ONLY NOTED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THIS COULD POSSIBLY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I PAID BELIEVING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED AGAIN DRIVING ON A CITY RD AND I WAS NEARLY STRUCK FROM BEHIND AGAIN AND STRUGGLED TO SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS TIME MY HUSBAND AND 2 OTHER CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE SAME DASH NOTIFICATIONS AND AFTER GETTING IT STARTED I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP ON 3/17/18. I SHOWED THEM THE PICS AND WAS ADAMANT I WOULD NOT GET IN THE CAR AGAIN UNLESS IT WAS FIXED. THEY ASSURED ME IT WOULD BE FIXED THIS TIME. A FEW DAYS LATER THEY STATED THE FUEL PUMP FUEL LINES AND FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MY SECOND EXPERIENCE I FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

SO BASICALLY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS STATING ALL OF THE SUDDEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING THE LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS TRACTION CONTROL OFF/SERVICE STRABILA TRAC AND THE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. MY MECHANIC HAS HAD ME DRIVE STRAIGHT TO HIM EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE IF I TURN THE CAR OFF THE COMPUTER DOES NOT HOLD THE CODES. HE WAS GETTING A READING OF THE IGNITION COILS BEING BAD. WE HAVE REPLACED ALL SIX IGNITION COILS ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. TODAY 06/04/18 IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND NOBODY REALLY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM SERIOUSLY OUT OF MONEY TO KEEP EXPERIMENTING WITH REPAIRS AT THIS POINT. GM REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO A RECALL. ALSO THESE CARS HAD AN AIRBAG RECALL AND I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THEY FIXED THAT RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AT MY COST! WHY? SERIOUSLY LOOSING FAITH IN GM PRODUCTS.

P0017, P0018, P0019, P0068, P0089, P0106, P228C 2012 TRAVERSE ALL OF THESE CODE ARE ON THE SCANNER. THE VEHICLE WILL SLOW TO JUST ABOUT A STOP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. LOTS OF LIGHTS COME UP ON THE DASH, TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAC, THE CAR IS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WILL NOT TURN OVER. GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I HAVE CALLED, CONSIDERING THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE ENGINES IN THE TRAVERSE MODELS. CAR ONLY HAS 83K MILES ON IT AND GETS OIL CHANGES JUST ABOUT EVERY 3000 MILES. FROM MICHIGAN

MY STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN TRYING TO TURN RIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER GETTING IN THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE, AND BOTH TIMES IT WAS RAINING. IT HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE. NO WARNINGS/LIGHTS COME ON. IT'S SCARY TO BE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS AND SLIDE PAST MY TURN BECAUSE MY STEERING WHEN WON'T TURN.

POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK AT LOW RPM. IT IS VERY HARD TO PARK CAR IN PARKING SPACES, AND ALSO VERY HARD TO MAKE TIGHT TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

INTERNAL ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION. MECHANIC WILL NOT EVEN DO 90,000 TRANSMISSION SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE AND STATED THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN SEEN WITH 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSES BEING SERVICED IN THEIR SHOP AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A VEHICLE AT THIS AGE/MILEAGE.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND AFTER 2 SERVICE CALL THE DEALER DETERMINE THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW AIRBAG INSTALLED.

I HAVE HAD MANY ONGOING ISSUES SINCE CAR PURCHASE. ELECTRICAL , AIR CONDITIONING AND INJECTOR ISSUES. CAR DOES NOT SEEM SAFE. LIGHTS GO OUT EVERY FEW MONTHS WHILDE DRIVING WHEN IT IS DARK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. 1ST REPLACEMENT ON LIGHT WAS DONE WHILE UNDER WARRANT, HOWEVER, CHEVY DEALER FAILED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES CAUSING THE LIGHT TO BURN OUT AND SIMPLY CHANGED LIGHT OUT. IT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS WITH US CHANGING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS. CAR WOULD LOSE POWER AND JERK AS WELL AS HAD GEARS PROBLEMS WHILE TRAVELING ON A FWY WITH CARS GOING AN AVERAGE OG 60 MPH. CAR WOULD NOT AUTO SHIFT ABOVE 20-30 MPH. GAS SMELL UPON START OF VEHICLE AND THE LIST GOES ON. STUCK OPEN EVAP PURGE SOLENOID SETTING SES LIGHT CAC CASE 8-2106770252 DALILA LOPEZ--- SCANNED ECM FOUND CODE P0300 P0496.PERFORMED DIAGNOSIS. PERFORMED INJECTOR BALANCE TEST FOUND BANK 1 INJECTOR OUT OF SPECS.REPLACED 1 3 5 INJECTORS. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE INJECTOR ISSUES MAY HAVE CAUSED OTHER PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHICH CANNOT BE DENIED NOR CONFIRMED. AN OIL PAN GASKET HAS BEEN LEAKING AS WELL WHEN LESS THAN 90,000 MILES. SAFETY HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONCERN. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVED SINCE THE 1ST LIGHT WENT OUT IN 2014 TO BE RESOLVED AT GMS COST. IN ADDITION I AM ASKING THAT THE OIL PAN GASKET REPLACEMENT BE DONE AT GM COST . IN ADDITION, I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT OF MY DOWN PAYMENT OF $10,000 ON MY VEHICLE.

A 2012 TRAVERSE IN PRISTINE CONDITION THAT HAS UP TO DATE MAINTENANCE THROUGH THE DEALER WITH ONLY 41,000 MILES, NOW NEEDS REPLACEMENT OF STEERING RACK AND PINION AS WELL AS PRESSURE HOSE.

MY STEERING LOCKS UP GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND TURNING. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE STEERING AS THE OTHER 2009-2013 CHEVY TRAVERSE STEERING . IT'S THE SAME PART, ISSUE AND VEHICLE AS THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO FIX THE STEERING UP TO 10 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES AND I AM BEING TOLD YOU HAVE NOT INCLUDED MY VIN # UNDER THIS WARENTY AND I NEED A VALID EXPLANATION WHY MY VIN ISN'T COVERED. IT'S THE SAME ISSUE, THE SAME PART AND THE CORRECT YEAR.

CAR LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT START. ADVANCE AUTO DIAGNOSTIC TIMING CHAIN

WHILE DRIVING ON A 50 MPH ROAD IN MY 2012 TRAVERSE THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED. THE MESSAGES "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" CAME ON. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION FOR APPARENTLY NO REASON WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS WELL. I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT 10 MINUTES LATER, WITH THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING.

"TAKATA RECALL" WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK MY CAR IN 3 TIMES AND FINALLY THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN MANY RECALLS PERTAINING TO AIRBAGS I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE YEAR AND MAKE OF MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE COST FOR THE NEW AIR BAG WAS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WAS GOING TO SPEND THAT KIND MONEY WHEN THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY RECALLS. I FEEL SINCE TAKATA WENT BANKRUPT I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THEY CONTRACTED TAKATA AN OUTSOURCE COMPANY.

WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE THE CAR SUDDENLY WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. IT COULDN'T MAINTAIN SPEED ABOVE 40-45 MPH. THIS OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED SEVERAL ENGINE CODES (POO18 & POO19) AND RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AS THIS REPAIR WAS BEYOND THEIR CAPABILITIES. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IS WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STRETCHED TIMING CHAINS, TIMING OFF BY 2 TEETH, SHOES & GUIDES WORN OUT, & 2 ACTUATORS WILL NOT PARK. INVOICE FOR REPAIRS WERE FOR $4461.57. THE VEHICLE IS 6 YEARS OLD AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 87K MILES WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. DUE TO CAR BEING PURCHASED USED, EXPIRED WARRANTY , MANUFACTURER REFUSED REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS DESPITE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ENGINE MODEL.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL DISENGAGED AND THE SAME TIME. IT ALSO REDUCED ENGINE POWER (IT ALSO SAID IT WAS ON THE DASH BOARD) HOWEVER WITH NO WARNING STARTED TO SLOW TOO QUICKLY WHILE I WAS DRIBING DOWN STREET WHICH SPEED LIMIT IS 50 MPH. AS I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHO HAD TO SWITCH QUICKLY TO NEXT LANE. ONCE I MADE IT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND THEIR HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM... I NEVER SEEN SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER... I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ARE MOSTLY WITH ME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY I LEFT THEM HOME THIS TIME. AND NO ONE GOT HURT. HOWEVER, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN...I STRONGLY BELIEVE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING RUSH HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. I WOULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS A.S.A.P.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE CABLE THAT CONNECTED THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT TO THE FLOORBOARD DISINTEGRATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS HELD ON BY A FEW THREADS OF STEEL. SVG MOTORS IN GREENVILLE, OHIO AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS 86K MILES AND IS 6 YEARS OLD. OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE NOTICED A SIMILAR ISSUE AS OTHERS I HAVE READ ABOUT. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON....THE DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK....AND THE ENGINE ESSENTIALLY DECELERATES FROM 60+ DOWN TO 30-40 MPH QUICKLY. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE ARE GOING TO TRY THAT AND IF THAT WORKS, GREAT. IF IT DOESN'T, NOT GOING TO GET ANOTHER CHEVY. THIS IS DANGEROUS...AND COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

WHEN TURNING ONTO A ROAD, FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLES STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED, REQUIRING IMMEDIATE REVERSE TO AVOID COLLISION OR NOT END UP OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF A VEHICLE WAS BEHIND US PREVENTING REVERSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

USED MY AUTO START ON 12/24/2017 PARKED AT A HOTEL VISITING FAMILY, WHEN GOT IN VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT ON. HAD IT CHECKED ON 12/26/2017 AND INFORMED TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. ESTIMATE GIVEN OF $3400 AT A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERSHIP. NOTIFIED GM CUSTOMER CARE AFTER BACK AND FORTH E-MAILS NOTIFIED ME THEY WOULDN'T DO ANY COST ASSISTANCE AS WARRANTY IS UP.

THE STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER REDUCES.WHEN I TOOK TO THE MECHANIC NOTHING SHOWS ON THE COMPUTER AS WRONG OR HAS BEEN WRONG. WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THE CRUISE CONTROL WONT WORK AND I HAD TO PUSH REALLY HARD ON GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR

PROBLEM STARTED AT 48,000 MILES ENGINE MISFIRES, DROPS POWER WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, SERVICE AIRBAG, SERVICE STABILIZER WARNING MESSAGES COME UP ON DASHBOARD ALONG WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AND REDUCED POWER OCCURS. CHEVROLET AND SERVICE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND VEHICLE AND CANNOT FIND ISSUE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS THIS COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WHEN DROPPING TO TWO ENGINE CYLINDERS WHILE DRIVING

I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A TAKATA PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS INFORMED THAT TAKATA WENT BANKRUPT. ON NOVEMBER 1, 2017 I TOOK MY SUV INTO GEORGE NAHAS CHEVROLET DEALER DUE TO MY PROBLEM . I INFORMED THEM THAT MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN REACH UNDER MY SEAT AND MOVE THE WIRES AND THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. THEY CHARGE ME $199.90 FOR A DIAG AND LATER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A POOR CONNECTION. I DROVE THE CAR AND A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. I TOOK MY CAR IN AGAIN AND I THOUGHT THEY FIXED IT THIS TIME BUT AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. BACK AGAIN TO NAHAS CHEVROLET AND THIS TIME AFTER WAITING HOURS THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND IT WILL COST ME $1,037.90. I WAS NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. I DECIDED NOT TO PAY $1,037.90 BECAUSE THE CAR WAS A 2012. I ASKED THE MANAGER TO REFUND MY $199.90 BECAUSE AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR IT WASN'T FIX AND THEN AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I MET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, MY CONVERSATION WITH HIM WAS SINCE NATAKA WENT BANKRUPT NO OTHER NOTIFICATIONS WOULD BE GIVEN. IN MY OPINION NOW CHEVY OR THE DEALER NOW CARRIES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY PROBLEM AND AGREE WITH ME THAT THE DEALER HAS TO FIX MY PROBLEM.

VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN MONTANA, ONE OF THE STATES LISTED IN RECALL #12V151000, RE: WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOMING INOPERABLE IN COLD WEATHER. CHECK SHOWS MY VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL, BUT MY PROBLEM MATCHES IT EXACTLY. CONDITIONS, -12DEG AND LIGHT SNOW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDLING ABOUT 10 MIN WITH DEFROSTER ON. I BRUSHED OFF WINDSHIELD AND CLEARED COME ICE THAT HAD COLLECTED ON THE WIPER BLADES AND AT THE BASE OF THE WIPER ARMS. WHEN I GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE WIPERS, THE ARMS WOULD NOT MOVE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED 6 MONTHS AGO, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I BELIEVE THE ONLY PRIOR OWNER WAS ALSO IN MONTANA.

THE TAIL GATE LIFT ASSIST NO LONGER WORKS, TO LIFT IT I'M LIFTING THE WHOLE WEIGHT OF THE TAILGATE. IT WON'T STAY OPEN, SO I HAVE TO HOLD IT UP WHILE TRYING TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE BACK. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THE TRAVERSE, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INCLUDED.

THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED TWICE. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, A LOUD CLUNK WAS HEARD, THE VEHICLE JERKED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, CHECK STABILITRAX AND TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGES APPEARED AND STABILITRAX DISABLED, SPEEDOMETER REMAINED FROZEN AT SPEED THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING TO SAFE LOCATION TO STOP, VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE STUCK IN A SPECIFIC GEAR THAT IS LOWER THAN NORMAL FOR FREEWAY DRIVING, RPMS WERE MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDSTILL, VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE NO POWER (PROBABLY DUE TO ACCELERATING FROM 0 MPH IN A HIGHER GEAR). I TOOK VEHICLE TO BOWMAN CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER FOR ATTENTION AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT THOUGH THEY DID STATE THAT THEY SEE ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM FOR LOSS OF COMMUNICATION. AFTER TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING FOR UP TO 2 WEEKS, SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR BUT DURING THEIR TESTING THEY FOUND THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ASSISTANT MANAGER OF THE SERVICE CENTER STATES THAT A BATTERY REPLACEMENT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I MADE A CASE (#[XXX]) WITH CHEVROLET BUT THE ADVISER RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT WAS FALSE AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER HE COULD DO. THE INFORMATION HE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER IS THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR ME TO AUTHORIZE CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS. I DID AUTHORIZE BOWMAN CHEVROLET TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. MY CONCERN IS THAT I AM NOW TAKING BACK A CAR THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND ALLOWING MY WIFE TO DRIVE, AND DAUGHTER TO RIDE IN, THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS A KNOWN ISSUE. LUCKILY FOR US THE ISSUE OCCURRED AT NIGHT WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROADS BUT IF IT OCCURRED DURING RUSH HOUR IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PARTS 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).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR STUTTERED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AND FIRST GEAR. SHE BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTERING IMMEDIATELY. SHE THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED SHUTTERING VIOLENTLY AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE AT 10 MILES PER HOUR. EVEN AT THAT SPEED IT WAS STILL SHUTTERING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE QUOTED THAT THE CLUTCH PLATES AND VALVES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4400. THIS ISSUE COULD BECOME A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE IF THOSE PLATES DECIDE TO GO BAD WHILE AT ANY SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER JOHN PAUL'S BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 3615 S 108TH ST GREENFIELD WI 53228 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED 10/11/17 ON I-40. MY CAR STARTED "JERKING" AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DECELERATED TO APPROX 35 MPH. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. A NTFCN CAME ON THAT ALL OF MY ASSISTS WERE OFF (PARKING, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRACK). A NTC ALSO APPEARED THAT SAID TO SERVICE STABILITRAK. WHEN I GO TO PRESS MY BRAKE THERE IS A NOISE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT "JUMPS" WHEN I GO TO PRESS IT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT AND HAD IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER BUT NO CODES APPEAR SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY THE SENSORS ARE FINE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. NO DEALER IS GOING TO TAKE A FAULTY CAR AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY OWNERS HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND A RESOLUTION FOR THEIR PROBLEM WHICH LEAVES ME VERY DISHEARTENED. NOW I AM STUCK IN A CAR THAT CAN'T BE FIXED AND I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY POPS UP WITH A SERVICE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE THEN HAS REDUCE POWER AND ISSUES ACCELERATING. THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR AT STOP LIGHTS AND THE CAR WILL SOMETIME SHUT OFF AN TAKE MULTIPLE TURNOVERS TO RESTART. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL THEN RANDOMLY GO AWAY AND THE CAR START DRIVING NORMALLY AGAIN UNTIL IT RE-OCCURS.WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER 1200 DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE LAST TIME LISTED BELOW.

MY 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WITH 72,000 MILES IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHER CHEVROLET VEHICLES REGARDING V6 TIMING CHAIN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE P0016 P0017. SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2011, I'M OVER THE 5 YEAR PORTION OF THE WARRANTY AND THE 2012 TRAVERSE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ENGINE TO 10 YEARS / 120,000 MILES. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO BE MADE TO RECALL VEHICLES THEY MADE WITH THIS ISSUE.

OUR 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE 5 YEAR, 100,000 MILE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRES 11/15/2017. OUR 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE HAD AN ENGINE FAILURE. ALSO BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPT FROM THE DEALER THAT THE ISSUE WAS A PART FELL INTO THE PISTON. MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY IS 5 YEAR 100,000 MILES, WE HAVE 90,000 MILES AND OUR 5 YEAR ISN'T UP UNITL NOV 15, 2017. DEALER SERVICE MADE US PROVIDE 3 RECEIPTS FROM THE MAINTENANCE SHOP, THEN REQUIRED RECEIPTS UP TIL 2015 WHEN WE LAST USED THE DEALER SERVICE. BECAUSE THE RECEIPTS ALL DID NOT LIST THE VIN # OR LICENSE PLATE THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO CONTACT THE MAINTENANCE SHOP YOURSELF TO CONFIRM THE CAR THAT WAS SERVICED WAS THE CAR IN QUESTION. THEY REFUSED AND REFUSE TO HONOR THE 5 YEAR, 100,000 MILE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP, WE NEED THIS CAR FOR TRANSPORTING OUR CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL, ETC

WIPERS WILL ONLY WORK ON HIGH. THEE IS NO LOW OR INTERMEDIATE.

WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE THERE IS NO SOUND IN THE TRAVERSE. NO MUSIC, BACK UP WANING, OR TURN SIGNAL NOISE. THE CARE HAS TO WARM UP TO MAKE SOUND.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR A FEW YEARS AND EVERY YEAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR AND OR BATTERY. THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING MY SON TO DAYCARE AND MY SON TO WORK THE CHECK BATTERY SYSTEMS LIGHT CAME ON. I KNOW FROM PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE THAT THE CAR IS ABOUT TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. AS EXPECTED A FEW MILES UP THE ROAD THE TRACTION LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND OTHER LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL NOT EVEN TURN ON. AS I STATED BEFORE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT I HAVE AS THIS PROBLEM IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED BUT THE ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO LOOK FOR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THESE CARS ARE BUILT TO HOLD FAMILIES. THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT MUCH WARNING IS PUTTING LIVES AT RISK. THE CHEVY TRAVERSE IS A POPULAR CAR FOR FAMILIES BECAUSE OF THE SPACE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FAMILIES HAVING THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT BECOMES DEADLY TO TAKE ACTION.

AFTER PULLING ONTO A HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING TO 60 MPH, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE CAME ON INCLUDING TRACTION CONTROL, BATTERY, ENGINE LIGHT ETC CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE LOST POWER WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF MY ENGINE AND WAITED 5-10 MINUTES, WHEN I RESTARTED MY ENGINE, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FASTER THAN 30 MPH SO I MADE A U-TURN IN THE HIGHWAY, RETURNED TO MY HOME, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO UP MY DRIVEWAY. I ROLLED BACK DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WAITED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, MADE A LOOP IN THE HIGHWAY AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GO UP MY DRIVEWAY TO RETURN HOME. FYI - I CALLED WWW.SAFECARS.GOV AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT'S REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE 196 COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE FIVE GRANDKIDS AND A DISABLED HUSBAND WHO I HAVE TO DRIVE 80 MILES TO THE DR 2-3 DAYS A WEEK. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY TO FIX THIS VEHICLE AND I RECEIVED ABSOLUTELY ZERO SYMPATHY FROM THE LADY WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE. I GET THAT SHE DOES NOT DO THE RECALLS BUT AS A PERSON WHO NEEDS MY CAR AND WHO IS EXPERIENCING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SHE COULD OFFER NO ADVICE AND DID NOT COMPLETE A COMPLAINT ON MY BEHALF. IT WAS OBVIOUS IT WAS NOT HER PROBLEM BECAUSE SHE KEPT REPEATING THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY.... POOR TRAINING AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. I HAVE WORKED IN GOVERNMENT FOR 20+ YEARS AND I KNOW HOW TO SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS WHO ARE UPSET FOR GOOD REASON, EVEN IF I CANNOT GIVE THEM THE RESPONSE THEY ARE SEEKING, THEY HANG UP THE PHONE FEELING LIKE THEY WERE HEARD.

IT IS A KNOWN PROPLEM THAT GM MAKES FUEL PUMPS WITH FUEL SENSORS THAT FAIL RANDOMLY AND OFTEN. I KNOW ONE PERSON WHO HAS REPLACED IT FOUR TIMES. OURS HAS FAILED.. THE FUEL GAUGE NOW DOESN'T WORK, AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL REJECT FUEL. MY WIFE HAS BEEN STRANDED WITH OUR CHILDREN IN ONE HUNDRED DEGREE WEATHER BECAUSE OF THIS. THE DEALER WANTS A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT, BECAUSE THEY INSIST ON REPLACING THE WHOLE PUMP AND DROPPING THE FUEL TANK TO DO IT.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON I-75. THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WENT FROM 65 MPH DOWN TOO 25 MPH, AND THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND ON KEPT SWITCHING. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GAIN SPEED, EVEN WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER LIGHTS WERE ON EXCEPT FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF/ON LIGHTS. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF FOR 5-10 MINUTES, AND RESTARTED IT. NO LIGHTS WERE ON, AND I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME. WHILE IN A SLOW SPEED ON A SIDE ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, AND THIS TIME SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. AGAIN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND ON KEPT DISPLAYING ON THE DCIM. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK THEN LOCK AND UNLOCK AND LOCK, THE WARNING CHIME GOES OFF RAPIDLY AND THE CAR WILL THEN EITHER DECELERATE OR ACCELERATE. THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF THEN ON THEN OFF THEN ON COMES ON, AND THEN THE CAR IS FINE.

OUR 2012 TRAVERSE WITH ~57,000 MILES ON IT HAD A POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO TURN AND THE TWO COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE MODEL/YEARS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT OURS. I WOULD LIKE GM TO INVESTIGATE AND INCLUDE OUR YEAR/MODEL IN THE RECALL AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE BEING OPERATED AT A LOW SPEED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FREEMONT CHEVROLET DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PUMP WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000...... .UPDATED 11/16/17 *BF *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT TIRES OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AMERICAN CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 4742 MCHENRY, MODESTO, CA 95356) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AXLE COMPLETELY DETACHED AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ALSO WAS DETACHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE WITHOUT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IN APRIL OF 2017. THE BEST THE MANUFACTURER COULD DO WAS TO OFFERED 40% OFF THE REPAIR FEES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I TOOK MY 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IN FOR A STANDARD OIL CHANGE TODAY AND THEY TELL ME THAT I HAVE A STEERING GEAR LEAK AT 34,000 MILES. I AM READING THAT MANY OTHERS ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE COST TO FIX IS $1,375. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL AND PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS GOING TO GO ON A FAMILY VACATION AND NOW NEED TO GET THIS FIXED FIRST.

HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE JANUARY 2017. WITHIN 2 DAYS OF HAVING IT, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCE ENGINE POWER ALARMS CAME UP. THERE WAS ALSO GAS FUMES FILLING MY CAR. HAD SERVICE COMPLETED, ALL THAT WAS FOUND WAS A FOULED OUT SPARK PLUG. CAR HAS HAD THESE SAME ALARMS COME UP MAYBE A DOZEN TIMES OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME THESE CAME UP, VEHICLE WAS IDLING. OTHER TIMES. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. HAVE ALSO HAD THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COME UP AS WELL. THE MIDDLE SEATBELT IN THE CENTER OF THE CAR, DOESN'T COME OUT AT ALL.

I BOUGHT THE CAR 12/2015. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED ON ME ON 1-95 WITH MY CHILDREN AND I, WE WERE TERRIFIED. DURING A SERVICE IN 2/2016, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A 20,000 MILE DISCREPANCY. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ENGINE BUT THE A/C WAS NOT COVERED IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY. SINCE THEN, I BOUGHT MY CAR TO AUTONATION IN APROX. 12 TIMES. LAST TIME, I BOUGHT THE CAR OVER IN MAY, I DROPPED IN OFF BECAUSE MY CAR WAS SHAKING, GAS WAS COMING OUT THE PIPE AND THEN IT STOPPED AND RECEIVED MY CAR BACK OVER 24 HOURS LATER. WHEN I PICKED MY CAR BACK, I RECEIVED A ESTIMATE OF ATLEAST $3,000 AND WAS TOLD IF I WERE TO GET THE CERTAIN REPAIRS DONE TO THE CAR, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT, MY CAR WOULD STOP HAVING THE PROBLEM, WHEN THE CAR STOPS. AGAIN, THIS MONTH, MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AND THE TRUNK DOOR WOULD NOT STAY OPEN, I HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR UP WITH MY HANDS. THEN I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, THAT REPAIR CENTER, STATED THAT MY COMPUTER HAS PROBLEMS, I NEED A NEW CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (JOSEPH CHEVROLET IN CINCINNATI, OHIO) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAK WAS DUE TO A FAULTY POWER STEERING PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 08/31/17*LJ *CN

I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE OUT MY DRIVEWAY AS SOON AS I GET TO THE CORNER TO TURN MY STERLING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THEN I HAD TO HURRY UP TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO NOT HIT THE SIGN AND CURB. FINALLY WHEN IT RELEASED I GOT TO THE MAIN ROAD AND WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20-25 MPH MY VEHICLE RADIO STARTED TO SWITCH FROM FM TO CD ON ITS ON AND THEN I COULDN'T ACELLRATE TO A HIGHER SPEED. THE VEHICLE DISPLAY SHOWED SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF. THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ENGINE LOSS BUT IT STALLED OUT TOO. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES NOW! I SEE IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE SINCE 2011 MODELS. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP DOES NOTHING TO FIX THIS. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY AND HAVE US GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 1.5 YEARS. SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR KILLED WHILE DRIVING ONE. THEY ARE NOT FINDING OUT THE ISSUES OR RECALLING THESE VEHICLES!!

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE. THOUGHT IS WAS ROD KNOCKING BUT KNOW BELIEVE IT TO BE TIMING CHAIN. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DOES NOT RUN. CHEVROLET NEED TO RECALL THESE ENGINES AND FIX THESE TIMING CHAINS.

EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH REDUCED ENGINE POWER/STABILITRAK/TRACTION OFF. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS HEADED HOME WORK.ENGINE REVING UNABLE TO MOVE AT NORMAL SPEED I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD IT WAS 3 BROKEN WIRES ON THE TCM. GOT THE TRUCK BACK AND ALL SEEMED OK, THEN LESS THAN 1 WEEK LATER AFTER PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY CHMES STARTED DINGING,CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, TRACTION CONTOL LIGHT CAME ON, DIC SHOWED "SERVICE STIBILITRACK" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW...

ENGINE ISSUES APPEARED AROUND 80K MILES. STARTED AS A PINGING SOUND WHEN DRIVING ONE DAY, WITHIN 20 MINUTES AND WITHOUT WARNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND POWER WAS VERY LIMITED. WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER, COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH DIFFERENT SITUATION IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPORTED ENGINE FAILURE AND "REPLACED 2 RODS." COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. NOT EVEN 1 YEAR LATER, AT 100,750 MILES, THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN. SAME SOUND WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. IMMEDIATELY PARKED AND HAD CAR TOWED AGAIN. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS NO LONGER WITHIN THE 100,000 POWER TRAIN MILE WARRANTY AND WILL COST UPWARDS OF $5,900 TO REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS.

I WAS PUTTING GROCERIES AWAY IN THE BACK OF MY PARKED TRAVERSE WHENTHE LIFT GATE SUDDENLY SLAMMED DOWN AND HIT ME ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD. LIFT GATE OPENS THEN SLAMS SHUT, WON'T REMAIN OPEN.

AT 59,346 THE AIR CONDITIONING QUIT BLOWING COLD AIR. I HAD TO HAVE THE DISCHARGE LINE REPLACED FOR $408.00. THIS LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING THRU A PARKING LOT THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE IN THE FRONT END FOLLOWED BY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP. I HAD TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO BE ABLE TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APX 25 MPH AND SLOWING FOR A RIGHT TURN. CAR DIED IN BUSY TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO OIL LIGHT AND NO ENGINE LIGHT. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT SOUNDED HORRIBLE AND HAD NO POWER. TOOK IT INTO A SHOP TO FIND THE ENGINE HAD FAILED DUE TO IMPROPER OIL PRESSURE. SPUN ROD BEARING, AND TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. CAR RAN PERFECT BEFORE THIS INCIDENT AND I ADHERED TO OIL CHANGE SCHEDULE . I STILL OWE $20,000 ON IT! GM AND CHEVY WILL NOT HELP, EVEN THO I BOUGHT FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE IN A YEAR. BLOWER MOTOR QUIT WORKING AND WIPER MOTOR. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FIND TO THESE TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR TIMING CHAIN AND ENGINE FAILURE IN 2009 TO 2011, THEN AGAIN IN 2013 BUT NOT 2012? WHY CHEVY?! COST TO FIX: $9,926. ALMOST HALF OF WHAT I OWE ON A VEHICLE IVE HAD A YEAR.

THIS IS A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS REGARDING THE 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. A SAFETY HAZARD AMONG MYSELF AND OTHERS HOME CAN BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT KILLED. I USE THIS VEHICLE TO AND FROM WORK ABOUT 75 MILES TO COMMUTE THROUGH THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS. WE BOUGHT THIS CHEVY TRAVERSE OCTOBER 2016 AND HAVE REGULARLY SERVICED AND MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY INCLUDING OR NOT LIMITED TO OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS BUT ALSO POWER STEERING/SUSPENSION WORK. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR ABUSE AS A DRIVER. ALL OF A SUDDEN ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR DECREASING SPEED AS SHARP CURVES APPROACHING. WITH NO WARNING IT FELT AS IF THERE WAS MINIMAL POWER AND NO CONTROL THE CAR DRAMATICALLY REDUCED FROM 60 TO ABOUT 20 25 MILES AN HOUR, WHILE THEIR VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES AS I WAS WAY BEFORE THE ACTUAL CURVES AT THIS POINT IN TIME I NOTICED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AS WELL AS STABILITRAK. AS WE PROCEED IT AROUND CURVES AT AN UPHILL SLANT I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED BUT DECREASING FROM 25 DOWN TO 10 - 12 MILES AN HOUR. ROUTE 66 ASHLAND OREGON IS DANGEROUS WITH BACK-TO-BACK SHARP CURVES BLIND SPOTS NARROW ROADS AND WEATHER COUSIN FATALITIES EVERY YEAR. LOOKING BEHIND ME A FEW CARS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN HIT FROM ANYONE COMING AROUND THAT CURVE. A SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MILES AN HOUR AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REACH 20 MPH. THIS MORNING ONCE AGAIN HAPPENED SO I PULLED OVER TO TROUBLESHOOT ONLINE AND I FOUND FROM 2009 THERE HAVE BEEN A SERIES OF COMPLAINTS THAT GM'S MOTORS LACKS RESPONSIBILITY THAT PERTAINS TWO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AMONG TRAVERSE AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS. I AM SIMPLY TRYING TO PREVENT MYSELF WIFE THREE CHILDREN AND YOU FROM A POTENTIAL FATALITY OF WHICH CAN BE PREVENTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIPER ARM NUT LOOSENED AND PREVENTED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FROM OPERATING NORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TIGHTEN THE WIPER ARM NUT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V151000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY STEERING WHEEL MAKES NOISES WHEN I TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. IT'S REALLY BAD WHEN I'M PARKING MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND NEED TO TURN TO GET IN THE SPOT OR BACK OUT. IT'S ALSO LEAKING FLUID UNDER MY CAR, POSSIBLY THE STEERING WHEEL FLUID.

I OWN A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, WITH JUST OVER 41,000 MILES. YESTERDAY, WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE TRACTION CONTROL / STABILITRAK, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PRIOR TO THAT I HAD NO ISSUES, THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE. I HAVE KEPT IT WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEAN, AND DRIVE AT THE SPEED LIMIT, ON GOOD ROADS. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE, AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO RECALL NOTICES, WHICH SEEMS UNUSUAL FOR THE NUMBER OF ISSUES. THE TRAVERSE IS A NICE VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE BEEN IN 3 TIMES FOR MANUFACTURER RECALLS REGARDING OTHER ISSUES. GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, GIVEN THAT IT AFFECTS WHAT APPEARS TO BE MANY MODEL YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE OIL PRESSURE LOW INDICATOR ILLUMINATED THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING AN ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OIL NOT TRANSFERRING FROM THE RESERVOIRS TO THE ENGINE AND METAL BEING PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO OTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING RESULTS WERE ALL THE SAME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE POWER LIFT GATE FALLS PREMATURELY. I CLICK THE BUTTON TO OPEN IT AND IT GOES UP. BUT AS SOON AS IT GETS FULLY LIFTED, IT IMMEDIATELY GOES BACK DOWN. I'VE SEEN WHERE THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN #15V415000 ON TRAVERSES PRODUCED JULY 6, 2008 - FEBRUARY 28, 2012. MY VIN, HOWEVER, ISN'T LISTED IN THAT RECALL FOR SOME REASON. IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL LISTS ON ALL OF THESE OTHER TRAVERSES. I'D JUST LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE MY CAR TO OUR LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM FIX IT WITH THE OPEN RECALL.

WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH TWO SMALL INFANTS IN THE CAR GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND RAPIDLY LOST SPEED, CAUSING US TO SWERVE INTO THE DITCH AND OTHER CARS BEHIND US SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND NEEDED TO BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY. AFTER CONTACTING GENERAL MOTORS, WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, AND IN SOME CASES AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN GIVEN. WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT FIT THAT DESCRIPTION BECAUSE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACILITY AS THE OTHERS. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ERROR AS THE KNOWN ISSUE BUT GENERAL MOTORS IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY ACTION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY.

NO WIPERS NO HEADLIGHTS.

MY CHEVY TRAVERSE STARTED MAKING RUBBING NOISES WHEN MAKING HARD TURNS JUST AFTER IT HIT 60,000 MILES (AND HAD ITS BIG MAINTENANCE WHICH FLUSHED THE POWER STEERING FLUID). WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT ALL OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS NEEDED REPLACED (POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK, GEAR, NEW FLUID) AND THEN THE CAR WOULD NEED AN ALIGNMENT (ALSO JUST HAD ONE WITH THE LAST SERVICE). WITH A "DISCOUNT" AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS COST ME $2,428!!! I READ THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN RECALLED, SO IT COMES OUT OF MY POCKET TO REPLACE FAULTY PARTS THAT WERE USED IN MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY OFFERED ME TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE PARTS (USED THE SAME FAULTY PARTS?) THAT WITH MY MILEAGE WILL LAST MAYBE THREE YEARS.

I PURCHASED A 2012 TRAVERSE IT HAS KNOWN ISSUES AND THE DEALER AND THE COMPANY'S HEADQUARTERS STATED THEY ARE KNOWN ISSUES BUT THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS AND WOULD NOT REPLACE OR GIVE ANY DISCOUNT IN FIXING THE DEFECTS. THE TRAVERSE DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET AND SIDE SEAT COVER HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, THE AIR CONDITION WIRING HARNESS IS LOCATED IN A PLACE THE RUBS AGAINST THE CHASSIS AND THE FRAME THAT CAUSE A HOLE TO RUB IN THE LINE. THE FRONT WILL NOT REMAIN IN ALIGNMENT. VEHICLES ARE VERY NOISY, WE HAVE TO TALK LOUD OR TURN THE RADIO UP TO HEAR. I HAVE TALKED TO THE HEADQUARTERS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LOCAL DEALERS WITH NO RESOLUTION OR HELP. PLEASE HELP.

I AM SECOND OWNER I GOT IT WITH 60K MILES ON IT, I STIL HAVE TO PAID 10K TO THE BANK FOR MY TRAVERSE AND NOW THE TIMING CHAIN WHY ME!!! CAR HAS 113K MILES ON IT. MY TRAVERSE LOOKS BRAND NEW I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR PLEASE HELP!😢

RECEIVED SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS RECALL NUMBER 14030 NOTICE MAY 2014. HAD RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED 15 AUG 14 BY DEALER WHERE TRAVERSE PURCHASED. AT APPROXIMATELY 100,350 MILES ON 16 JAN 17 "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 90 DAYS. AMAZING THAT CHEVROLET CAM GET AWAY WITH THIS ON A CRITICAL SAFETY REPAIR ON AN AIR BAG SYSTEM. VEHICLE IS AT THE SAME DEALER WHO MADE REPAIR NOW, TODAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR.

POWER STEERING FAILURE. LOUD WHINING FROM THE "STEERING GEAR" AND "POWER STEERING PUMP" FULL FAILURE. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED. IT HAS APPROX 60,000 MILES ON IT. SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH THAT MANY MILES UNLESS IT'S A FACTORY OEM DEFECT !!!

VEHICLE WILL DISPLAY "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "TRACTION CONTROL OFF". THEN VEHICLE BECOMES JUMPY. THEN A BURNING AND FUEL EXHAUST SMELL ENTERS THE CAB. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 4-6 MONTHS. I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP LAST MONTH AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE UNTIL AFTER THE DEALER REPAIRED IT PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS).

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SERVICE AIR BAG, DEALER SHIP WANTS $1,000 TO REPAIR, TO PROTECT MY FAMILY

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE (WITH MY 4 CHILDREN IN TOW) MY CEL, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS CAME ON. MY SPEED WAS REDUCED TO AROUND 45MPH. I HAD TWO SEMIS BEHIND ME, THE ONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME HAD TO GET OVER VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND TOOK THE NEXT EXIT APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES AHEAD. ONCE OFF THE INTERSTATE I SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE, WAITED TWO MINUTES THEN RESTARTED, LIGHTS AND MESSAGES STILL ON. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BUT COULD ONLY GO AROUND 45MPH WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT WANTING TO GO. I PARKED IT AT WORK THEN AT LUNCH I DROVE IT ON CITY STREETS AT 35MPH. I PARKED IT AGAIN AT MY WORK. WHEN I GOT OFF I STARTED THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY HOME. WHEN MY VEHICLE HIT 60MPH THE SAME THING HAPPENED, LUCKILY NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND DRIVE 45MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER STARTING AGAIN THE SAME LIGHTS AND MESSAGES APPEARED. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD MY VIN/YEAR WAS NOT PART OF THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO KNOWING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH ONLY 34,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR A MONTH I NOTICED A STRANGE NOISE WHEN MAKING SHARP RIGHT HAND TURNS AT LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 20 MPH). UPON EXAMINING THE CAR I FOUND POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM THE STEERING GEAR. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING GEAR AND FRONT STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON. ENGINE LOSES POWER AND REQUIRES THE VEHICLE TO. E RESTARTED TO REGAIN POWER. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RESET THE COMPUTER EACH TIME. THE LAST TIME THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER THE DEALER HAS STATED LOW FUEL VOLUME. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THE SAME DAY USUALLY WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US TO TRY HI TEST ETHANOL FREE GAS. WE DID AS TOLD WITH A FUEL TREATMENT THEY PUT IN THE TANK. THE LIGHTS STILL CAME ON. WHEN THE TRAVERSE IS STARTED IN THE MORNING(COLD START) THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 47000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. WE HAVE ALWAY KEPT THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED. LAST YEAR THE TRAVERSE STARTED USING OIL A QUART OR MORE IN 1000 MILES WHEN DRIVEN ON LONG TRIPS.

OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ON 4 OCT 2016 WHILE DRIVING 35-50 MPH, THE TRACTION AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ENGINE REDUCED POWER WARNING LIGHTS ALL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, SHUT IT DOWN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART ENGINE WAS HARD TO START. GOT ENGINE STARTED HEADED TO CAPITAL CHEVROLET IN MONTGOMERY, ALA AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE IT BEARLEY WOULD MOVE SAW WHITE SMOKE COME FROM EXHAST. HAVING THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAS BEEN FOUND AFTER READING MANY POST ON THIS TYPE MALFUCTION RELATED TO THIS MODEL VEHICLE I AM NOT FEELING TOO HOPEFUL AT THIS TIME WILL FOLLOW UP ONCE DEALERSHIP CALLS ME.

THE MIDDLE SEATBELTS IN THE MIDDLE AND BACK ROW LOCK UP AND WILL NOT RELEASE. FIRST IN THE SECOND ROW, THE MIDDLE SEATBELT LOCKS UP WHEN THE SEAT GETS FOLDED DOWN. THE SEATBELT WILL THEN NOT RELEASE. SOMETIMES YOU CAN PULL IT OUT AND LET IT GO BACK A FEW TIMES AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY COME OUT, BUT NOT EVERY TIME. THE MIDDLE SEATBELT IN THE THIRD ROW SEAT BECAME WRAPPED AROUND MY CHILD'S NECK AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND THE BELT WAS LOCKED SO TIGHT AROUND HIS NECK THAT I COULD NOT MANEUVER IT TO GET IT OFF OF HIS NECK. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET HIM TO BEND HIS NECK FAR ENOUGH TO GET IT OUR FROM BEHIND HIM, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF HE DID NOT OR WAS NOT ABLE TO NOTIFY ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE CAR'S ENGINE SOUNDS TOO LOUD. I BOUGHT THE CAR LATE DECEMBER 2015 AND I TOLD THE SERVCE ADVISOR THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE WIRING BECAUSE THE LIGHT BULB NEEDED TO CHANGE, SOUNDS FROM SPEAKERS WOULD BOUNCE OFF FROM ONE SPEAKER TO ANOTHER, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT GO BACK UP, AND ENGINE WAS LOUDER THAN USUAL. TWO WEEKS AGO, WHILE I WAS ON I-95 WITH MY KIDS, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED DOWN ON ME, TRACTION CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF, THE CAR STATED ENGINE POWER SLOWED AND STABITALK LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TERRIFIED. I'M ALREADY A VICTIM OF MILE DISCREPANCY AND POOR PROFESSIONALISM FROM THE GM FROM AUTONATION CHEVROLET DELRAY AND I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE. I TOOK MY CAR THERE A TIME BACK IN MAY BECAUSE MY ENGINE WAS SHAKING, I WAS TOLD THEY FIXED MY ENGINE BUT THE CAR WAS STILL SHAKING AFTERWARDS. ALSO THE SEATBELT FOR THE MIDDLE SEAT OF THE SECOND ROW, WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I WENT TO AUTONATION TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, THEY CLAIMED IT DOESN'T HAVE ENGINE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A COPY OF THE RESULTS OF THE WHOLE DIAGONOSIS.

63,000 MILES POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION REPLACED AS HAD LEAK. WAS TOLD BY CHEVY DEALER THIS WOULD BE $1700 TO REPAIR. WENT TO LOCAL AUTO SHOP AND HAD REPLACED FOR $1300. 2WKS LATER THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED WHILE DRIVING WITH DIFFICULTY TO STEER. LOCAL AUTO SHOP REFERRED US TO CHEVY DEALER AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SUGGESTED WE ASK FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. CONTACTED CHEVY DEALER WAS TOLD POWER STEERING UP WOULD BE $1300 TO REPAIR, REQUESTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE BEING THIS A KNOWN ISSUE. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE FILED CLAIM, WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET 10% OFF COST OF REPLACEMENT OF POWER STEERING PUMP AT CHEVY DEALER. CHEVY DEALER DECLINED MY REQUEST TO CONTACT THE DISTRICT REP CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND ALSO CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THIS IS ALL THEY COULD DO FOR US. CONSIDERING THE CHEVY TRAVERSE MADE 2011 ARE PART OF A STEERING RECALL, I WOULD LIKE CHEVROLET TO ADD THE 2012 MODEL TO THIS RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS AND ALL THE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL NOTED ON THE INTERNET. I WAS DRIVING IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY GRANDMOTHER WHO TURNED 94 YRS OLD THAT SAME DAY. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN UNDER 5YEARS OLD WHO HAD DRIVEN IN THIS VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS THAT CHEVROLET IS WAITING FOR A CATASTROPHIC EVENT WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE THEY RECALL THE STEERING ISSUES FOR 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE.

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT COMES UNDONE WHILE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T STAY BUCKLED. WE HAVE USED AN AIR COMPRESSOR HOSE TO BLOW ANY DEBRIS OUT THAT MAY HAVE FALLEN DOWN INTO THE BUCKLE BUT IT STILL DOESN'T STAY LATCHED.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN APRIL 2016, WITHIN 72 HOURS I NOTICED IT WAS MAKING SOME HORRIBLE NOISES. MY FAMILY MECHANIC SAID THE IDLER BELT TENSIONER WAS BAD, MULTI MOTOR ISSUES, 2 FUSES WERE BLOWN, 2 BAD WINDOW MOTORS, AC WAS NOT SUPER COLD AND THE AIRBAG RECALLS WERE ALL STILL PRESENT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET SERVICED AND ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES WRECKED IT IN SERVICE AND NO ONE TOLD ME SO I FOUND IT WHEN I GOT HOME, THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR CLOSE TO 5 WEEKS TO REPAIR IT AND THEN TAKE IT TO AN AUTOBODY SHOP SINCE THE DENT WAS BAD ENOUGH WERE THE REAR QUARTER PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW THAT I HAVE IT BACK, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTI TIMES WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IN THE RAIN. AND TODAY THE AC STOPPED WORKING. I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS THE CASE FOR EVERYONE BUT AFTER RESEARCHING IT, IT DOES APPEAR I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THESE CHEAPLY MADE "AMERICAN" SUV'S. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND ALTHOUGH I MAKE GOOD MONEY- I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SAVED UP TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DEALERSHIP AND CHEVY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE SERVICED, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

THE DRIVER STEERING WHEEL FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. WHEN WE RECEIVED THE LETTER ABOUT RECALL WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO SERVICE CHEVROLET IN LAFAYETTE, LA.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CHEV TRAVERSE TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRAK, ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP! WHEN BOTH ACCELERATING AND APPLYING BRAKES THE CAR DRAGS. ADDITIONALLY THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS HARDERS ON ITS OWN.

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A USED 2012 TRAVERSE WITH 56,000MI ON IT LAST SUMMER. WE NOW HAVE 76,000MI ON IT, AND JUST RECENTLY WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE POWER STEERING LOSS THAT MANY OTHER TRAVERSE OWNERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT ONLINE. I AM GLAD TO KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE - AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEMS ON THESE VEHICLES AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED. THIS MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY ONTO A BUSY ROAD - POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT AWAY. UNABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE, SHE ENDED UP IN THE OPPOSITE LANE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC - SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND QUICKLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND BACKED INTO THE FRONT YARD AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS FOUND ONLINE WITH THIS ISSUE I AM SURPRISED NOBODY HAS GOTTEN KILLED YET BECAUSE OF THIS - OR MAYBE THEY HAVE AND THEY JUST AREN'T HERE TO TELL US WHY THEY PULLED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE FACT THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING AND THEY COULDN'T STEER THEIR VEHICLE. I HOPE GM WILL TAKE ACTION AGAINST THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT AFFECTS ME PERSONALLY. BEST REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 CHEVROLET TAVERSE WITH 35,000 MILES FROM SUPREME CHEVROLET CADILLAC OF PLAQUEMINE ON 5/23/2016. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK NOW, THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, THE STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS OFF, THE PASSENGER WINDOW POWER BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE WANT ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AT TIMES, THEIR IS A NOISE WHEN THE AIR IS ON AND ALSO WHEN I TURN IT OFF, AND GETS WORSE WHEN I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHTS FOR THE AIRBAG AND ENGINE, IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN I NOTICED THE BUTTON FOR THE WINDOW, THE STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS OFF, AND THE NOISE BEING MADE. THEIR WAS A RECALL ON 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IN DECEMBER OF 2015 AND EARLIER IN 2015, IM NOT SURE HOW LONG A RECALL LAST BUT IF I AM GONNA PAY ALMOST $41,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE I WOULD LIKE FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MY 3 CHILDREN AND FIANCE TO FEEL SAFE RIDING IN IT. IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO EXPLAIN FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE TRACTION AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,739.

I WENT LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR TRASMITION WORK AND ENDING FIXING. TRANSMITION AND MOTOR ALSO A POWER STEERING HOUSE AND NOW STARED LIKING FROM THE POWER STEERING RACK IT COST ME 2300 DOLLS AND FM DON'T WANTED REMPLACE IT AND FM REPRESENTATIVE DONT WANT TO HELP ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

MAJOR SAFTEY RISK: MY TRAVERSE WAS WELL MAINTAINED WAS OFTEN FILLED WITH SOCCER KIDS. THE SAFETY FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY! WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTO BEGAN DISPLAYING THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES IN RAPID SUCCESSION: BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK. I PARKED THE CAR TO DROP OF MY KIDS, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER A JUMP, I HEADED FOR THE DEALER WHICH WAS 4 MILES AWAY. OPERATIONS APPEARED OK INITIALLY. ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE CAR ELECTRONICS WENT OUT. NOT JUST RADIO AND A/C, BUT ALL ELECTRICAL. I REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFICE ON A CHICAGO EXPRESSWAY. NO HAZARDS, NO WAY TO LOWER WINDOWS, I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO FIND A GAP IN THE TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PARK. FROM THE SHOULDER OF THE EXPRESSWAY, CARS CONTINUED TO FLY PAST ME AT HIGH SPEED. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY CHAOTIC AND DANGEROUS. I WAITED FOR AAA TO ARRIVE. AAA WAS FORCED TO TOW (MY TRAVERSE IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE) RATHER THAN FLATBED BECAUSE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY WE THE CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. AT THE CHEVY DEALER, THEY QUICKLY READ THE ERROR CODES AND PRESENTED ME WITH A $1,400 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. SHARING MY FRUSTRATION AND POINTING OUT THAT THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WAS WELL BEYOND ANY REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF A PRESUMABLY SAFE VEHICLE, THEY FOUND A WAY TO LOWER THE COST TO $607. (I DO RESPECT AND APPRECIATE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP.) THIS CLEARLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND CHEVY SHOULD CORRECT THESE ISSUES ON THEIR DIME. I BOUGHT THE TRAVERSE WITH THE EXPECATATION OF SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. I AM NOW VERY SKEPTICAL AND AM HESSITANT TO FILL THIS 8 SEATER WITH KIDS THE WAY I USED TOO. MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES. THIS IS A POTENTIAL MORTAL DANGER TO DRIVERS, PASSENGERS AND OTHER INNOCENT BYSTANDERS!

WHILE DRIVING MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON & MESSAGE (SERVICE AIRBAG) NOT SURE IF THIS IS LINKED TO ANY OF THE RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OR SEATBELTS. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 42516 & HAVE NOT YET GOT APPOINTMENT W/THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE LIGHT COMES ON AS SOON AS I TURN THE KEY TO START & STAYS ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS PARKED & TURNED OFF. THE LIGHT IS ON THE HIGHWAY, ROADWAYS, & AT IDLE. IT WORRIES ME IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE SYSTEM MAY FAIL. (NOTE: ITS BEST IF YOU CONTACT ME BY EMAIL)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE KEY FOB WAS UTILIZED TO OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE. WHEN THE CONTACT REACHED INSIDE THE VEHICLE, THE LIFTGATE FELL ON HER NECK. THE CONTACT DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL. HOWEVER. SHE WENT TO THE DOCTOR A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. BECAUSE A LUMP FORMED ON HER NECK, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A DISLOCATED COLLAR BONE THAT REQUIRED SURGERY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000. UPDATED 08/17/16*LJ

TAKATA RECALL- WHILE TURNING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE STEERING WILL LOCKS UP AND YOU CAN NOT TURN. I HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THEN SHUT IT OFF , THEN I RESTART IT, AND IT WILL TURN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY 16 YEAR OLD, WHO JUST GOT HIS LICENSE DISCOVERED THIS. I THOUGHT HE WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG, TIL I DROVE IT TODAY, AND IT HAPPENED TO ME. TALK ABOUT SCARY?!!! WHAT IF I WAS TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT FOR SURE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THIS. WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING THE ISSUE. ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE? THEN YOU WILL FIX THE ISSUE? MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWAY TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING GEAR BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

POWER STEERING LEAK

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF, CAN'T START ACCERLERATION DROPS. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON THE STREET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. IN ADDITION, AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS THE VEHICLE "CHECK AIR BAG" LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND A WARNING INDICATOR ON THE DASH INDICATING SOMEONE HAS NOT BUCKLED THEIR SEAT BELT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 5 OR SIX TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MOST RECENT REPAIR ATTEMPT WAS 1/4/16 AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR 2/1/16. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, CUSTOMER RELATIONS REP AND MOST RECENTLY CORPORATE (CASE# 8-1796822227). WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW BUT HAVE NOT FELT SAFE IN IT SINCE THIS FIRST STARTED HAPPENING. WE TRY TO MINIMISE USE BUT HAVE 5 GRAND CHILDREN THAT WE REGULARLY HAUL AROUND. WE DON'T REALLY RECALL WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED. AGAIN WE DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE AND BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AND LOOKED INTO.

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, MILEAGE 57,993. WHILE DRIVING DURING A SNOW STORM I WENT TO TURN THE FRONT WIPERS ON. THE WIPERS ACTIVATED, BUT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED HALF WAY UP THE WINDOW. THE FRONT WIPERS BECAME TOTALLY INOPERABLE AT THIS TIME AND NOW NO LONGER FUNCTION. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ITS PLACE OF PURCHASE AND MECHANIC STATED BOTH THE FRONT WIPER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I TRIED TO REFERENCE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM NUTS RECALL DATED APRIL 9, 2012: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V151000, GM SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 12036, BUT NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR GM'S CUSTOMER RELATIONS CENTER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS RECALL APPLIED TO MY 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THIS RECALL SOUNDS LIKE THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT LED TO THE FAILURE OF MY WIPER SYSTEM.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY WENT ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER TO 5MPH WITH ENGINE RUNNING ROUGHLY. I LIMPED INTO CHEVROLET DEALER WHO REPLACED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY. CHEVROLET CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL BUT A FRIEND WHO HAS 2001 TRAVERSE WAS SENT LETTER INDICTING A POSSIBLE PROBLEM COULD OCCUR INDICATING SAME CIRCUMSTANCE-"THE ENGINE TO RUN ROUGH , CAUSE THE MALFUNCTION-INDICATOR LAMP/AND OR REDUCED POWER MESSAGE TO ILLUMINATE,AND REDUCE THE ENGINES POWER. THIS CONDITION IS VERY SERIOUS AND COULD HAVE BEE CATASTROPHIC.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK STARTED FLASHING SEVERAL WARNINGS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD ALSO NOT ACCELERATE HIGHER THAN ABOUT 20MPH. THE ERRORS MENTIONED STABILITRACK NEEDS SERVICE, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND OTHERS. I TOOK IT TO O'REILLY AND RECEIVED ERROR CODE P2138. HAD TO PAY OVER 400 TO GET SENSOR REPLACED AT DEALER BUT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH MANY OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE ISSUE KEEPS RECURRING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND SUDDENLY YOUR CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE.

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AN I HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIP AN GM COMPLAINT PLACE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTICS AN SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM AN WOULD COST ME 400$ THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT I KEEP MANITENAINCE ON IT . IT HAS ALSO BEEN IN FOR SEATBELT SAFETY PROBLEMS. THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE DOOR IN THE BACK THAT LIFTS UP . THE SAFETY LIGHT GOES OFF IF I CHOOSE CHECK SYSTEM BUT COMES BACK ON ON THE READ OUT IT SAID SOME KINDA CONNECTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

MY WIFE LEFT FOR WORK ACOUPLE OF MORNINGS AND CALLS ME TO TELL ME THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE HAD TROUBLE DRIVING WHEN SHE WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS.

AFTER ROUTINE INSPECTION AND AN ALIGNMENT IT WAS REPORTED TO US BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE STEERING SYSTEM WAS LEAKING, SPECIFICALLY FROM A VALVE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ALREADY BY GM IN A SERVICE CALL REPORTED FROM ANOTHER USER: SERVICE #14329 FROM GM. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN GM MODELS, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN APPLIED TO TRAVERSE RECALLS. REQUEST THAT THIS IS ELEVATED AND GM ISSUES A COMPLETE RECALL/REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS STEERING LEAK TO SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE TRAVERSE/ACADIA MODELS.

CAR LOST ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING OVER 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. *JS

THIS CAR HAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. THE STEERING RACK IS LEAKING WHICH WILL LEAD TO AN INABILITY TO STEER THE CAR EFFECTIVELY. CHEVROLET HAS AN SPECIAL SERVICE #14329 THAT COVERS THIS FOR A NUMBER OF MODEL YEARS INCLUDING 2012 BUT FOR SOME REASON THE VIN FOR MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED BUT IT EXHIBITS THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. I NEED GM TO EXPAND IT'S SPECIAL SERVICE TO INCLUDE ALL CARS THAT EXHIBIT THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE MULTIPLE EXAMPLES HERE THAT ILLUSTRATE THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ASPECTS OF THIS FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE LOOSE AND FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V151000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE LIFT GATE FELL AND HIT MY WIFE WHILE UNLOADING GROCERIES. WENT TO DEALER TO REPAIR AND THEY DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER HOW CHEVY /GM IS GOING TO REPAIR THIS IS A RECALL

HARD TO STEER AT LOWER SPEED (WHEN PARKING OR COMING OUT OF PARKING, WHEN TURNING) IN ONE OCCASION I DID HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WILE TURNING TO MY RIGHT, LUCKILY THERE WERE NOT SERIOUS DAMAGES AND NO INJURIES TO ANY OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED. I CAN BARELY TURN AT LOWER SPEED, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE RACK AND PINION AS WELL. CANNOT AFFORD OVER $3,000.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CHEVY OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V415000 (STRUCTURE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

AT ALL PERIODS OF STOPPING AND APPLYING BRAKES AND PUTTING VEHICLE INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD, APPROX 4-6 INCHES. THIS HAPPENS OF FLAT SURFACES, INCLINES, ANY AND ALL SURFACES. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS FRONT END COLLISIONS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I APPLY THE BRAKE, THEN ENGAGE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION INTO PARK. HAPPENS ON ANY AND ALL ROAD SURFACES. VEHICLE DOES NOT LUNGE WHEN ONLY BRAKE IS APPLIED, BUT WHEN IT IS SHIFTED INTO PARK. AS SOON AS THE PARK IS ENGAGED IT LUNGES. NOTHING I DO CAN STOP THE LUNGE. VERY DANGEROUS AND I WILL RECORD VIDEO OF THIS FOR FUTURE REFERENCES IF NEED BE,

THE BATTERY VOLTAGE DISPLAY ON THE DASH IS READING A BELOW NORMAL READING. BATTERY WAS REPLACED DUE TO THIS. BUT STILL THE DISPLAY IS READING A BELOW NORMAL READING. HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED, ALL TESTS CONFIRMED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE FINE AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON THE DASH DISPLAY SHOULD BE SHOWING A LOWER READING. THIS OCCURS AT ALL TIMES, FROM CRANKING, TO IDLING AND DRIVING. AT TIMES THE READING WILL FLUCTUATE INTO THE NORMAL AREA, BUT IT IS BRIEF AND WILL SOON RETURN TO A LOWER READING. THIS OCCURS ALSO AT ALL TIMES ON ALL ROAD SURFACES AND ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE THAT MADE NOISE WITH TURNING, WAS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING. POWER STEERING FLUID WOULD PUDDLE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 6/15. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF AN ISSUE OF THIS NATURE WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THAT I HAD NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS. THEY STATED I NEEDED TO HAVE IT TOWED (THEY OFFERED TO PAY) TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE ACCURATELY ASSESSED AS IF MY VERY EXPERIENCED MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT BASED ON MY VIN MY VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES. I TOLD THEM THAT BASED ON MY VEHICLE THE VIN HAS PROBLEMS AND THAT THE VIN DOES NOT PREDICT WHETHER IT WILL HAVE ISSUES. THERE MIGHT NOT BE A RECALL HOWEVER THERE ARE COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO MYSELF, OTHER VEHICLES DRIVING AROUND ME AS WELL AS PEDESTRIANS. I LIVE RIGHT BY AN ELEMETARY SCHOOL. MY STEERING MAKES A HORRIBLE SOUND AND BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 55 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE OF A REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE WAS FLASHING CAR LOST SPEED FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN PICKED UP AGAIN. PULLED OVER TURNED CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL EMITTED AN UNUSUAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

MY CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS HARD TO STEER, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. I HAD FLUID ON MY GARAGE FLOOR, LUCKILY I LIVE A MILE FROM THE DEALER. AFTER CHECKING THE VEHICLE THEY FOLLOWED THE LEAK AND STATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW RACK AND PINION, POWER STEERING PUMP AND THEN AN ALIGNMENT. TOTAL BILL $ 2,600 AND THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THIS FIX WOULD THE PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT THEY NEVER SAW SUCH A PROBLEM IN A VEHICLE THAT HAD LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. OF COURSE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED. THE DEALER GAVE ME THE OPTION OF JUST DOING THE RACK AND PINION AND TAKING MY CHANCES WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I DECLINED ALL WORK AND HAD MY MECHANIC DO THE RACK AND PINION AND IT WAS STILL NOT CHEAP. AND I HAD TO GO TO MIDAS TO GET THE ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE STILL WHINES AND TURNS ARE STILL HARD, YOU WOULD THINK THAT A VEHICLE THAT COST OVER $30K WOULD BE BUILT BETTER....I BELIEVE I HAVE HAD 3 RECALLS AND I AM WAITING ON PARTS FOR ANOTHER ONE. A CO-WORKER TOLD ME THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH HIS LATE MODEL TRAVERSE AND CLASS ACTION SUITS.....HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE OR DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE. I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL BE IN A SITUATION AND NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 55 MPH IN FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC ON AN UPGRADE, SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR SLOWED TO 28 MPH. WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A TRIAXLE DUMP TRUCK. THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH SHOWED "CHECK STABILITRACK - TRACTION CONTROL OFF". WE WEREN'T FAR FROM HOME AND LIMPED BACK AT 28 MPH. THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HAD COME OFF. NOTHING ELSE WRONG. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION - TO ALLOW THE CAR TO ONLY TRAVEL UP TO 28 MPH FOR NO REAL REASON. I HATE TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC.

WHEN I SHUT MY CAR DOOR, THE RADIO STAYED ON, I UNLOCKED THE CAR AND RE OPENED THE DOOR AND MANUALLY TURNED IT OF. THIS WAS THE 17TH OF AUGUST,2015. FROM THEN ON, I TURNED THE RADIO OFF MANUALLY ALL THE TIME. ON THE 21 OF AUGUST, 2015, THE AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT COOL THE CAR, IT BLEW OUT WARM AIR TILL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR AGAIN, THE COOL AIR ONCE AGAIN CAME ON, BUT WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THE RADIO STILL STAYED ON,I HAD TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF AGAIN.THE RADIO CONTINUED TO COME IN AND OUT TILL THE 3RD OF SEPT, WHEN THE AIR WENT OUT AGAIN, THEN THE RADIO STARTED SHUTTING OFF . THE 11TH OF SEPTEMBER, THE AIR ONCE AGAIN BLEW WARM AIR, TILL I STOPPED AND SHUT IT OFF, THEN UPON RETURNING, IT CAME BACK ON, COOL. THE 14TH OF SEPT, THE WHOLE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT ON IT.! I PULLED INTO A STORE PARKING LOT, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, LET IT SIT, ABOUT 10 MINS, AND STARTED BACK UP AND THEY CAME ON, I CAME HOME, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE DASH 'HALO" STAYED ON, I OPENED THE CAR, AND CLOSED IT AGAIN, TWICE AND THEY FINALLY WENT OUT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER, FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW, I CAN'T AFFORD A HUGE BILL. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SEVERAL UNKNOWN INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAD BOUGHT THE 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE IN DEC 2012, PRIOR TO MY DEPLOYMENT TO AFGHANISTAN. SINCE ABOUT 7 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP REGULARLY TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALLS FIXED FOR THE AIR BAGS AND THE FASTENER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ROUGHLY 8 TIMES AND STILL WILL COME ON WHEN IT DECIDES TO. IN JULY 2015 THIS VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE DO TO THE RATINGS IT HAD, BUT NOW THE WIFE HARDLY DRIVES THE VEHICLE BEING THAT WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON IT SHUTS THE AIRBAGS OFF CREATING A VERY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH OR ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500.

"FRONT SEAT"......BACK SUPPORT STUCK IN 1 POSITION AND DOES NOT ADJUST, CAUSING BACK PAIN WHILE DRIVING. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR UNLESS TOTALLY NECESSARY. CAR DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX.

VEHICLE WITH AUTO TRANSMISSION WAS SWITCHED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE POSITION ON FLAT SURFACE. WHEN DRIVER MOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE TO GAS PEDAL VEHICLE LURCHED BACKWARD STRIKING POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO OBSERVED LURCHING FORWARD WHEN REVERSE LIGHTS WERE ON. DEALERSHIP REPLACED TCM CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE AND REPROGRAMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES, SIZE: P255/65R18 109S. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE SUDDENLY DEFLATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAD CRACKS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,661.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A WIRING FAILURE UNDERNEATH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE WIRE CONNECTION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN ONCE IGNITION IS SHOUT OFF AND KEY IS REMOVED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,023.

WHILE DRIVING DURING WET CONDITIONS, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, NEARLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO IMPACT A CURB AND TREE. THE DEALER IS LOOKING INTO THE REASONING FOR THIS, THERE SEEM TO BE NUMEROUS COUNTS OF 2009-2013 GM CROSSOVER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, WITHOUT RECALLS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON. *TR

THE POWER STEERING LOCKS AND BECOMES ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE IN WET CONDITIONS. IT APPEARS EARLIER MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT NOT 2012. *TR

MY CAR IS NOTIFYING ME TO SERVICE AIR BAGS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A MESSAGE LIKE THIS FROM ANY OF MY CARS AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN, THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT ON A RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. IT IS AN AIRBAG AND I FEEL THAT IT MAY BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE AND OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO THE AIRBAG. I WOULD HATE TO SEE A FATALITY DUE TO THE AIRBAG AND THEN A RECALL IS ISSUED OUT AFTER THE FACT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,550. UPDATED 5/5/15*CN UPDATED 06/18/15*JB

DRIVING WHEN CAR BEEPS 4 TIMES AND CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITY CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER LOW. SLOWS THE CAR DOWN TO 15-20 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS VERY LITTLE TIME TO RESPOND. LUCKILY, I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST TO BEGIN WITH, BUT ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD BE DISASTROUS. IT SLOWS THE ENGINE AND CANNOT GO ANY FASTER. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, WHEN I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE STABILE TRACK, AND THE CRUISE KICKED OFF, THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND STARTED TO CHUG. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. CHECKED THE OIL ETC, AND RESTARTED, IT SEEMED FINE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN IT DID THE SAME THING, EXCEPT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD THREE MORE OCCURANCES WITH THIS AND THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING CLOSER TOGETHER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT IS A REAL CAUSE FOR CONCERN. I HAVE READ THE FORUMS AND MANY WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE, AND DREAD TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY IN IT AT THIS TIME. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET A WARNING MESSAGE OF "SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM" CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY MOVED TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED IT, AND GOT THE SAME MESSAGE. NOT KNOWING IF IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE ANY FURTHER AND NOT HAVE ANY LOSS OF CONTROL IN TRAFFIC I CALLED A FRIEND WHO SAID THE BATTERY MIGHT HAVE SUFFICIENT POWER TO ALLOW ME TO LIMP IN TO A DEALER FOR SERVICE. AFTER A "WHITE KNUCKLE" DRIVE I GOT TO THE DEALER AND ABOUT $1150 WORTH OF REPAIRS LATER THINGS SEEM TO BE BACK IN ORDER. I WAS TOLD THE CHARGING SYSTEM FAILED. HARD TO BELIEVE THIS COULD HAPPEN IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS AND LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE ENGINE HAD LOST POWER BECAUSE OF THIS PREMATURE AND SUDDEN FAILURE. *TR

2012 TRAVERSE....66,000 MILES ON IT AND MY WIPERS QUIT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM.. IT WAS ACTING UP, THE DRIVERS NOT WORKING WHEN YOUR HAD YOUR LEFT BLINKER GOING.. THEN BOOM TOTALLY QUIT.. TAKING TO DEALER TOMORROW.. *TR

VEHICLE VERY HARD TO STEER. LOUD NOISE WHEN SHIFT OUT OF PARK. HARD TO STEER AT LOW SPEED, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE REFUSED TO PROVIDE LOANER CAR UNTIL DIAGNOSED TWO DAYS LATER. DROPPED OFF ON A FRIDAY DEALER SAYS REPAIR TO STEERING WON'T BE DONE UNTIL TUESDAY. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM ON MANY CHEVY TRAVERSE FORUMS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS).

ON 24 DEC 2014 AT AROUND 11:45AM, I WAS PULLING OFF A MAIN ROAD (WITH MY YOUNG DAUGHTER) INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY DOCTOR'S BUSINESS, WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS STILL IN MOTION. AFTER BRAKING, I WAS ABLE TO JIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL FREE AND PULLED THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. AS IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE, THEY WERE CLOSING WITHIN MINUTES AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING IN THE CAR ON FRIDAY, DEC 26TH..WHICH I DID. AFTER AN ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT "COULD NOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINT OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING", I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO FOR ME UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND WITH MORE REGULARITY. THE SERVICE REPS DID SHARE THAT THERE HAS BEEN REPORTED INCIDENTS WITH THE TRAVERSE REGARDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BUT NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS SHARED WITH ME. UPON DRIVING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP, I PROMPTLY CONTACTED GM WHO OPENED UP A CASE REPORT. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT GM AND THE DEALERSHIP CONDUCT A MORE THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS OF THE STEERING SYSTEM AS I DEEM THIS INCIDENT MORE THAN JUST A "RANDOM" INCIDENT. THIS IS RATHER ALARMING AND I AND MY DAUGHTER ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN MINUTES BEFORE WHEN WE WERE ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR NOW AND FEEL IT NECESSARY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO NHTSA IN THE EVENT OTHER 2012 TRAVERSE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME. THANK YOU. *JS

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. RECALL ON THE FLEXIBLE STEEL CABLE THAT CONNECTS THE SAFETY BELT TO THE VEHICLE AT THE OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT OUTBOARD SEATING POSITIONS THAT CAN FATIGUE AND SEPARATE OVER TIME AS A RESULT OF OCCUPANT MOVEMENT INTO THE SEAT. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL, WAS COMPLETED. *JB

THE VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES YOU ALSO HEAR A CRUNCHING SOUND FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP YOU ALSO FEEL THE CAR JERKING. THE CAR HAS THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COME ON AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT ALSO SAYS YOU HAVE LOST TRACTION FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR FEELS LIKE ITS GLIDING AND HAS DIFFICULTY STOPPING. THE ENGINE IN MY CAR HAS A NOISE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AT TIMES YOU CAN EVEN HEAR THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING WITH YOUR WINDOWS UP. *TR

A WEEK AGO MY TRAVERSE STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKES SO I TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO CHECKED ALL FOUR WHEELS AND DETERMINED THE BRAKES WERE FINE. HE SAID IT WAS POSSIBLY A ROCK OR SOMETHING CAUSING THE NOISE AND IT STOPPED FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS MORNING I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT WORK AND THE STEERING FROZE UP COMPLETELY AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WANT TO WORK EITHER. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR I WAS PARKING NEXT TO! I'M SO GLAD THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OR A MAIN STREET OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. VERY SCARY, BUT WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS? WILL GM BE LOOKING INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT OR HAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT? TAKING BACK TO THE MECHANIC WEDNESDAY TO CHECK THE STEERING PUMP.... NOT HAPPY. *TR

HELLO. I LEASED A 2012 TRAVERSE FOR 24 MONTHS AND HAD 3 OR WAS IT 4 URGENT/IMPORTANT RECALLS? I MISSED WORK 3 TIMES COSTING ME ALMOST $500.00 DOLLARS BECAUSE I HAD TO CALL OFF ALL BECAUSE "URGENT/IMPORTANT" TOOK THOSE WORDS FOR GRANTED RECALLS. I RECENTLY GOT A 24 MONTH NEW LEASE FROM CHEVY AGAIN AFTER TURNING MY TRAVERSE IN THIS MONTH SHORTLY AFTER I WAS BILLED BY ALLY FINANCIAL ABOUT $600.00 FOR MINOR WEAR AND TEARS FOR THE TRAVERSE I TURNED IN ALMOST 2 WEEKS AGO. I TURNED THE TRUCK IN EARLY AND MADE THE LAST PAYMENT AND IT WAS 8K MILES UNDER. I'M SHOCKED AND APPALLED THAT WITH ALL THE URGENT RECALLS AND HAVING TO LOSE MONEY CALLING OFF WORK TO GET THESE SERIOUS URGENT RECALLS FIXED, ALLY OR CHEVY DID NOT EVEN OFFER ANY INCENTIVES?? THEY SAID REPAIRS FOR RECALLS ARE AT NO CHARGE...WELL OF COURSE THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE AND TO THINK OF MY KIDS AND DRIVING WITH THEM KNOWING A PRIOR URGENT RECALLS AND ONE BEING WAS WITH SAFETY BELTS??,? HMMM MAYBE I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS, I HAVE TO TAKE IT AS A SERIOUS MATTER. I LOST TIME AND MONEY AWAY FROM WORK TO FIX THE CHEVY RECALLS...SO MANY, AND ALLY FINANCIAL IS ASKING ME FOR ALMOST $600.00??? CHEVY NEGLECTED TO RELEASE THESE VEHICLES LIKE THE TRAVERSE WITH SEAT BELT ISSUES BEING DISCOVERED A YEAR AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING IT AND WITH THE FAMILY IN IT? WOW UNBELIEVABLE, AND THEN ALLY FINANCIAL ASKING ME FOR $600. FOR MINOR SCRATCHES, SOME NERVES. CHEVY NOT EVEN COMPENSATING NOTHING NOT EVEN A DOLLAR, HAH I JUST HOPE THAT VP [XXX] OF THE GLOBAL VEHICLE SAFETY REALIZES THIS WAS ONGOING THE SECOND MY FAMILY TRUCK TRAVERSE LEFT THE ASSEMBLY WITH THIS IMPORTANT/URGENT RECALL, ESPECIALLY THE SEAT BELT ONE. MY FAMILY RODE IN THIS TRUCK. NO COMPENSATIONS JUST AN APOLOGY, SURE YAH RIGHT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE...ALLY OWES ME AND CHEVY SHOULD PAY MY DEBT...THE NERVE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AND A LOUD GRINDING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN OUR TRAVERSE THE IGNITION FELL OUT IF THE ON POSITION KILLING THE ENGINE AND LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

STABILITRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING... KEPT MISFIRING, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM STILL AS OF SEPTEMBER 17 HAVING THE SAME ISSUE... THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. *TR

DURING REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING GREAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT IS LEAKING ($1500). NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. STRANGELY ENOUGH, MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT 32,000 MILES BUT WAS COVERED UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE IN MY OPINION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TO CHECK POWER CHARGING SYSTEM BUT THEN IT WENT OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF AND THE POWER SAVING MODE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED A FEW MINUTES BY THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT. LATER THAT EVENING I HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT. THE AIR WOULD NOT EVEN COME ON AND I DROVE LESS THAN 2 MILES TO THE SHOP. NEAR THE AUTO SHOP AFTER HAVING THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND TOLD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE INTENT TO RETURN THE NEXT DAY SINCE IT WAS CLOSING TIME AND NO WORK COULD BE DONE. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE POWER FAILURE AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED ON A CAR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 50,000 MILES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 TRAVERSE AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A FLAW OR CAUSE FOR CONCERN OR RECALL. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? *TR

DRIVER BEGAN TO FEEL AND HEAR A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEEL WELL. WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LOW SPEED LEFT TURN OFF OF A PRIMARY ROAD INTO THE ENTRANCE OF A BUSINESS, THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO TURN AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OPPOSING LANE OF TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS, THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY STEER (WITH DIFFICULTY AGAINST A LOT OF RESISTANCE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL) THE CAR BACK INTO THE CORRECT LANE AND CONTINUED ON UNTIL PULLING OVER IN A SAFE LOCATION ON THE SAME BLOCK. *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT REMINDER LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY IS COMING ON ON DRIVER DASHBOARD. HAPPENS WITH PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER WERE BOTH BUCKED UP. TOOK IT TO A SERVICE CENTER AND THERE ARE NO CODES STORED. SYSTEM IS CHECKING OUT WITH PASS WHEN IT IS CHECKED. THERE ARE NO FAIL INDICATORS. BOTH RECALLS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WITH THE SEAT BELT AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WIRING HARNESS AND THE ISSUE IS STILL RECURRING. *JS

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND THE STABILLITRACK LIGHT CAME ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THE DRIVER CENTER SAID THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUT OFF AND IT ALSO STATED TO SERVICE STABILLITRACK. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO SLOW ITSELF AS WELL. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. THE WARNING LIGHTS FINALLY WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN AND THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNED BACK ON, ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR SEEMED OK DRIVING HOME FOR 2 MILES AND ENGINE POWER SEEMED TO RETURN TO NORMAL BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS TOO. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE SOONEST THEY CAN GET ME IN TO CHECK THE CAR IS MONDAY. I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY WOULD NOT COMMIT TO SAFETY OR RELIABILITY BUT REFUSED PROVIDE ANY RELIEF UNTIL MONDAY AND GAVE ME NO OFFER OF A LOANER CAR. I JUST DID SOME INVESTIGATING ONLINE TO RESEARCH WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT CAN OCCUR AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. MANY FORUMS LIST MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD OCCUR AGAIN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM LOOKS TO BE INTERMITTENT AND WILL OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY SPEED. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

OPENED THE LIFT GATE WITH THE KEY FOB, MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN FULLY EXTENDED AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED SHUTTING WHILE I WAS GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF THE BACK. DON'T KNOW IF THE DOOR WOULD HAVE BOUNCED BACK UP IF IT HIT ME AND WOULD HAVE STARTED COMING BACK DOWN AGAIN SINCE IT DOESN'T STAY UP. USED MANUAL MODE AND DOOR DOES NOT STAY UP. GOOGLED IT AND APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS SINCE 2007 WITH THE POWER LIFT GATE IN THE SATURN OUTLOOK, ACADIA, TRAVERSE, ENCLAVE, AND EQUINOX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,100.

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT RECALL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TWO RECALLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *JB

THE DOORS UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK. THIS IS NORMAL IN SOME MODELS BUT THEY DO NOT UNLOCK IN OTHER MODELS OF THE SAME CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY FACTOR AS IT LETS ANY ONE GET IN TO THE CAR WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THANK YOU. *TR

BETWEEN 5 AND 7 TIMES THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR WITH MESSAGE STATING SERVICE AIR BAGS. TOOK TO DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS TO FIX. NEXT A DASHBOARD MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR INFORMING ME OF ENGINE FAILURE ,LOSS OF POWER.THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN TO NO MORE THAN 20 MPH. PULLED OVER SHUT ENGINE OFF AND THAN IT WOULD BE OK. NEXT TIME ABOUT 5 DAYS LATER THE MESSAGE AGAIN APPEARED WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH GRAND KIDS. THE ENGINE SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH , WHILE SHE WAS BLENDING INTO TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY. HAD TO PULL OVER OR BE RUN OVER BY TRAFFIC . TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. NEXT THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A BACKLASH IN DRIVE TRAIN, WHICH IS NOISY. DEALER SAID G.M HAD SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE NOISE AND RECOMMENDED ( DO NOT REPAIR) NOISE IS TYPICAL. IDID NOT HAVE THE NOISE FOR FIRST 20,000 MILES. AFRAID THAT THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE THAT G.M DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN VEHICLE SAFETY. G.M WON'T BUY THE VEHICLE BACK OR GIVE A REALISTIC TRADE IN VALUE FOR IT. *TR

RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS ALL OF THE SUDDEN: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, TRACTION CONTROL NEEDS SERVICE, STABILITRAK OFF, STABILITRAK NEEDS SERVICE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. VEHICLE BEGAN TRYING TO STALL. LUCKILY, I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND COULD EASILY PULL OVER QUICKLY. ALL OF THE WARNINGS WENT OFF AFTER A MINUTE AND I RESUMED DRIVING. EVERY TIME I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT VERY HARD. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE, I FOUND COUNTLESS FORUMS WITH COUNTLESS PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, BUT SOME WERE IN A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. OF THOSE PEOPLE MANY OF THEM HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLE TO THEIR GM DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS AND EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON FAILED ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT ONLY TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOME WILL NO LONGER ALLOW OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS/CHILDREN TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLES DUE TO THE DANGER OF STALLING SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY CHEVY MODELS AND YEARS INCLUDING BRAND NEW 2014'S ARE HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE AND GM IS DOING VERY WELL AT AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY. THE NEW OWNERS ARE PROTECTED BY LEMON LAWS FINANCIALLY, BUT THE ONLY OPTION FOR OWNERS WITH A VEHICLE OVER A YEAR OLD IS TO SELL OR TRADE IN. EITHER WAY, THIS IS PUTTING YET ANOTHER UNKNOWING CONSUMER IN DANGER AND IT IS KEEPING THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WHERE WE AND OUR LOVED ONES DRIVE EVERYDAY. THE RIGHT AND "SAFE" THING TO DO IS FOR GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT. THE RIGHT THING FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THAT ISN'T EMPLOYED BY OR IN GM'S POCKET IS TO REPORT IT AND TAKE ACTION. IT'S ABOUT SAFETY. THAT SHOULD BE THE PRIORITY, NOT MONEY. *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT SEAT OUTBOARD SEAT BACK AIRBAG. JUNE 5 IT WENT BACK IN WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AGAIN. THEY FIXED A CONNECTOR IN THE DRIVER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG. OCT 18 IT WENT BACK IN WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT SEAT ANCHOR PLATE TENSIONER. DEC 31 IT WENT BACK IN WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON. THEY REPLACED THE MODULE AND HARNESS ASSY. FEB 12 IT WENT BACK IN AGAIN. THEY REPLACED THE WIRING IN PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS. MARCH 17 IT WENT BACK IN AGAIN. THEY OFFERED ME A NEW CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT CABLE THAT WAS MOUNTED TO THE FLOOR BECAME FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SERVICE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,392.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK, HIP, AND KNEE INJURIES WHILE THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED LUNG CONTUSIONS FROM THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, STARTED UP HILL AT 55 MPH IN TRAFFIC. FOLLOWING ALARMS CAME ON: TRACTION CONTROL DASHBOARD SYMBOL; STABILITRACK OFF; ENGINE POWER REDUCED; TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO 40 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER. ONLINE FORUMS INDICATE THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY OR ECU PROBLEM, KNOWN TO GM AT LEAST SINCE 2010. IT HAS BEEN HANDLED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS DEPENDING HOW MUCH THE INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN. I REGARD THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IT COULD LEAD TO A REAREND COLLISION AT HIGH SPEED WITH CONSEQUENT LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LOSS OF LIVES. BELIEVE GM HAS USED SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION TO BURY THE FORUM DISCUSSIONS ON THIS, BUT IF YOU SEARCH FOR CHEVY TRAVERSE THROTTLE BODY DEFECT YOU CAN EASILY FIND IT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS ENGINE DEFECT, WHICH DANGEROUSLY STOPS THE CAR WHILE DRIVEN. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TRIED TO REPAIR ONCE BUT FAILED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2012. ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2013, THE ENGINE OF MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO "MAC MAIK CHEVROLET" IN HOUSTON FOR EXAMINATION AND REPAIR. ON OCTOBER 11, 2013, THE DEALERSHIP GAVE IT BACK TO ME ASSURING THAT THEY REPAIRED IT. TWO DAYS LATER, ON OCTOBER 13, 2013, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD, AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CAR AGAIN SUDDENLY CAME TO A HALT, BLOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES AND ENTIRE ENGINE. THE CAR RAN INTO AN INTERSECTION BEFORE IT CAME TO FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. THANKFULLY, NO OTHER CAR WAS IN THE INTERSECTION. IT WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS THAT THEY FOUND ANOTHER PROBLEM AND AGAIN ASSURE THAT THEY FIXED IT. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO GENERAL MOTORS, WHICH SIMPLY RESPONDED THAT THEY THINK IT IS NOW FIXED. NO REASONABLY PRUDENT PERSON WOULD EVER DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. I WAS IN EXTREME DANGER TWICE DUE TO THE DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY ACTION UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

I DID NOT HAVE A ACCIDENT BUT I AM SENDING THIS WITH A CONCERN ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF AN INCIDENT. CHEVROLET TRAVERSE DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE, (TEMPORARY OR FULL SIZE) OR JACK. IT ALSO DOES NOT HAVE A PLACE TO PUT A SPARE TIRE. I HAD A FLAT TIRE THAT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AND ALL THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE IS A CAN OF SEALANT AND AIR TANK. NOW I WILL HAVE TO BUY A SPARE AND PUT IT IN BACK OF MY VEHICLE AND THIS WILL BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS TRAVERSE FOR THE 3RD ROW SEATING BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT BECAUSE I HAVE NO OTHER PLACE DESIGNATED TO PUT A SPARE OTHER THAN JUST PLACE IN THE BACK SECTION. I HAVE 4 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN AND IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THE TIRE WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN BUT WE LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE SOMETIMES PHONE/ONSTAR DOES NOT WORK SO WE HAVE TO HAVE SPARE TIRES. EVERYONE THAT I HAVE TOLD ABOUT THIS IS SHOCKED THAT IT THESE VEHICLES DOES NOT COME WITH AT LEAST A " TEMPORARY TIRE". I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE $700 FOR THE CABLE, TIRE, JACK TO BE ADDED TO VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE APPLIED THE BRAKES HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE ERRONEOUSLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,800. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55MPH WE WERE HIT ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DAMAGE TO THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WELL AND REAR RIGHT SIDE ON THE BODY WITH EXTENSIVE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ANYTIME IN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER'S COLLISION AND REPAIR SHOP AND AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS IT WAS RETURNED. WITHIN A WEEK OF GETTING IT BACK THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, WE TOOK IT BACK TO COLLISION REPAIR CENTER THINKING IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ACCIDENT BUT THE COLLISION REPAIR SENT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SAYING IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE BACK 4 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR KEEPS TELLING ME IT'S AN ISSUE WITH THERE NOT BEING A GREASE NEEDED ON THE SENSORS AND THAT THEY APPLY TO EACH SENSOR AS IT COMES UP, NOW ON THE 4TH TRIP BACK SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER CLAIMS THAT ISN'T CORRECT AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE. EACH AND EVERY TIME I'VE TAKEN THIS CAR IN I HAVE SPECIFICALLY ASKED IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF IT MEANS MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN TOLD, "NO, YOUR AIRBAGS ARE OK, THERE IS NO RISK TO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY." DROPPED CAR OF FOR FINAL RESEARCH INTO THIS ISSUE SINCE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN THIS WEEK AND SERVICE MANAGER TELLS ME THAT YES IT DOES MEAN MY AIRBAGS ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE. *TR

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SPEEDOMETER AND GPS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE SET THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR LESS THAN 75 MPH AND HIS GARMIN GPS NUVI CONFIRMED THE SAME SPEED. HOWEVER, HE WAS CITED FOR SPEEDING. THE SHERIFF STATED HIS RADAR WAS MUCH MORE ACCURATE THAN HIS SPEEDOMETER AND GPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE OPENED THE POWER LIFT-GATE TO RETRIEVE LUGGAGE FROM THE REAR AND AS THE GATE OPENED SHE SAW SOME OF THE LUGGAGE ABOUT TO FALL AND REACHED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AT THAT POINT, THE LIFT-GATE STOPPED OPENING AND BEGAN TO CLOSE. THE POWER LIFT-GATE THEN CLOSED ON THE CONTACT, BREAKING HER HAND.

UPDATED 08/28/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED FURTHER X-RAYS REVEALED, A BROKEN WRIST, BRUISED BONES AND NERVE DAMAGE. UPDATED 08/29/12

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE TO INCLUDE WINDOWS AND SEAT ISSUES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED IF THE MIDDLE ROW PASSENGER WINDOWS WERE PARTIALLY ROLLED DOWN, THEY WOULD VIBRATE AND MAKE A HORRIBLE NOISE ASH SHE ACCELERATED AND EXCEEDED 30 MPH. THE PANEL BETWEEN EACH OF THE SIDE AND REAR WINDOWS WAS EXTREMELY LARGE AND PROVIDED A MAJOR BLIND SPOT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE PARTICULARLY WHEN BACKING UP OR CHANGING LANES. THE CONSUMER ADDED SMALL MIRRORS TO ASSIST WITH THE VISIBILITY. BOTH FRONT SEAT SQUEAKED OR CREAKED WHEN THEY WERE OCCUPIED. *JB
