2011 Chevrolet Traverse complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 95 AND SUDDENLY MY CAR WAS FLASHING REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON. OUR SPEED DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20 FROM 65. I HAVE SEVEN CHILDREN WHO DRIVING IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WERE HORRIFIED AT ALL THE TRAFFIC AROUND US WHILE WE TRIED TO COAST TO THE SIDE. THANK GOD NO ONE HIT US! THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND WE HAVE REPLACED THE TROTTLE BODY, FUEL PUMP, AND A FEW OTHER THING THAT POPPED UP ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. 16 CODES POPPED UP ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX EVERYTHING AND PAY PAYMENTS OR THE CAR STILL. PLEASE HELP.

JUST LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THIS CAR YEAR AND MODEL, THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE BLEW HOT AIR OUT WHEN AIR WAS ON, THEN IT BLEW HOT AIR OUT BOTH BEFORE IT BROKE COMPLETELY. I AGREE WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS, THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN A 4 YEAR OLD CAR. THEY WANT 1500 TO FIX. ALSO, THE TWO PUMPS WENT OUT THAT PUMP OUT THE WASHER FLUID, THEY SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, THIS IS A FOUR YEAR OLD VEHICLE, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENING. THEY WANT ANOTHER $500 TO FIX IT. BOTH THIS ARE HUDGE CONCERNS GIVEN IT IS A 4 YEAR OLD CAR AND THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.

WE BOUGHT THE 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE USED WITH 99,000 MILES ON IT. WE NOTICED THAT ON THE CAR FAX, OTHER THAN JUST ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE CAR HAD ITS FUEL TANK REPLACED. WE QUESTIONED IT, BUT DID NOT THINK WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS, AS THE CAR WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. EVERY SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WHEN WE FILL UP THE CAR, IT DOES NOT REGISTER ON THE FUEL GAUGE CORRECTLY, IF IT REGISTERS AT ALL. WE CANNOT TAKE LONG TRIPS IN THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP EVERY SO OFTEN AND PUT GAS IN IT, AS WE DONT KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN THERE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN TO US. I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2014 VEHICLES, BUT I ALSO SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ALOT WITH THE 2011 TRAVERSE'S, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I AM HOPING WITH THIS ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT AND ONGOING PROBLEM, THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT, IF THEY HAVENT ALREADY. I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY VEHICLE WAS, BUT THEY OBVIOUSLY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, HENSE REPLACING THE FUEL TANK. CHEVY, PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS.

THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED. NO WARNING NO LIGHTS NO OIL LIGHT NO SERVICE ENGINE. JUST QUIT GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60MPH WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. NOW I AM BEING TOLD IT IS THE MOTOR. I HAVE SERVICED THE CAR I SHOULD HAVE AND TREATED IT VERY WELL. THERE IS NOT ONE REASON A 2011 SHOULD JUST QUIT. I ALSO HAD A ISSUES WITH TRACTION CONTROL IN THE DEAD OF WINTER THE CAR WOULD FLASH TRACTION CONTROL OFF ENGINE WILL LOSE SPEED SERVICE STABLITRACK AND THE CAR WOULD DROP FROM 65MPH RIGHT TO 25MPH IN 5 SECONDS FLAT WHICH WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ANY TIME OF YEAR NOT JUST WINTER. GET THOSE 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSES OFF THE ROAD.

MY WIFE DRIVING TO WORK ON BUSY HIGHWAY..ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED GOES FROM ABOUT 60 MPH TO LIKE 25MPH...STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON. CARS HONKING, YELLING,ALMOST HITTING HER BECAUSE HER SPEED REDUCED TO FAST. SHE GOT TO WORK WHEN SHE LEFT FOR THE DAY THE CAR SEEMED OK. THOUGHT MAYBE SHE HIT THE STABILITRAK BUTTON BY MISTAKE. A FEW DAYS LATER SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER THIS INCIDENT IT HAPPENED EVEN MORE. I'VE BEEN READING BLOGS RE THIS AND E MAILED CHEVY, SAID IT WASN'T A RECALL..I DON'T KNOW WHY. THIS PROBLEM COULD KILL SOMEONE. I HAD IT FIXED AT THE CHEVY DEALER COSTING OVER $400. FROM WHAT I'VE READ I THINK THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IN SOME EARLIER TRAVERSES. IT'S LIKE YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!! THEY WILL WIND UP WITH LAWSUITS IF THIS ISN'T TAKEN CARE OF. AFTER E MAILING CHEVY I WAS TOLD SOMEONE FROM THE DEALER I HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT WOULD CALL TO DISCUSS. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. I DID CALL THE DEALER MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL.

ENGINE POWER WAS SUDDENLY REDUCED WHILE DRIVING WITH THE MESSAGES: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. DEALER FOUND CODE P2135 WAS GENERATED (FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR). THROTTLE BODY UNIT WAS REPLACED. THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 YEARS LATER ON 6/12/2015. AGAIN THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT DESIGN IS SYSTEMICALLY BAD AND HAS CAUSED TWO SAFETY RELATED INCIDENTS.

I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LOW GROWLING NOISE THAT SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AS I TURNED CORNERS. IN APRIL 2015, I WAS HAVING THE DEALERSHIP PERFORM THE 30,000 MILE MAINTENANCE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE STEERING GEAR WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THAT IT COULD CAUSE THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL TO WORK IN WHICH CASE I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STEER AND IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR--ABOUT $850 FOR LABOR AND $700 FOR THE PART AND THEY DID HAVE THE PART IN STOCK. THE TRAVERSE HAD 31,110 MILES ON IT. BUT, WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE I HAD BOUGHT IT IN SEPT. 2010. I DECIDED TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT 31,000 MILES. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I DIDN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED. I CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER IN THE OWNERS' MANUAL AND A CASE WAS FILED WITH THEM. A SENIOR ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT. BUT, THAT THE WARRANTY TIME HAD PASSED AND THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE PART IN STOCK IMPLIES THEY SEE THESE FAILURES OFTEN. THE LABOR WAS 8.6 HOURS IMPLIES A POOR DESIGN. SHE SAID THE DEALERSHIP WOULD CALL ME. THEY DID FINALLY CALL TO REITERATE THAT IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE SENIOR ADVISOR I SPOKE WITH AT GM SAID SHE WISHED I HAD CALLED HER BEFORE I HAD THE REPAIR MADE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT. DID SHE MEAN THEY WOULD HAVE COVERED PART OF THE CO

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN 95 TEMPERATURES WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE VENTS BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS STILL BLOWING COLD AIR. WE HAD TO OPEN THE WINDOWS AS THE CAR GOT HOT VERY QUICKLY. THIS DISTRACTION COULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FROM ADDRESSING THE SITUATION. WE'VE SEEN MANY OTHERS HAVING DEFECTIVE BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS.. .UPDATED 07-16-15 *BF UPDATED 10/25/2017*CN

THERE SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THE STEERING RACK WITH THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE 2 YEARS THAT I AM AWARE OF ARE THE 2010 AND 2011 TRAVERSE. CHEVY DEALERS ARE CHARGING OVER $1000 TO REPAIR BUT WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO A POTENTIAL RECALL SITUATION.

2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE- I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2013 CERTIFIED, PRE-OWNED FOR ROUGHLY $35K ALL IN FROM ROBERT CHEVROLET. HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES WITH IT OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING NUMEROUS TIMES, MIRRORS AS WELL. LEFT TAIL LIGHT HAS GONE OUT 3 TIMES, HEADLIGHTS HAVE HAD ISSUES AS WELL. MOST RECENTLY MY PASSENGER SIDE STEP RAIL SNAPPED OFF AS MY 13 YEAR OLD 115 LB DAUGHTER STEPPED ON IT. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN, MY YOUNGEST IS ONE AND A HALF YEARS OLD AND ONE CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT THE OTHER SIDE RAIL SNAPS OFF AND AS MY WIFE IS PUTTING MY SON IN CAR THEY FALL ON CONCRETE IF THAT RAIL SHOULD SNAP AS WELL. IN GENERAL, I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR OR FEEL SAFE IN IT AT ALL. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SCARE ME THE MOST, GOD FORBID THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF SHORT AND STEERING OR SOMETHING WORSE GOES OUT AND MY WIFE CRASHES WITH ONE OR ALL OF MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR.. MY SALES REP AT ROBERT CHEVROLET HAS BEEN CONTACTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, FOR A YEAR HAS BEEN TELLING US TO COME IN AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. FINALLY I TOOK OFF OF WORK AND TOLD HIM HE NEEDED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE AND IT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. THEY ASSURED ME THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT, EVEN SUGGESTED HE WOULD TAKE ME OUT OF THE CAR AND EAT THE BULK OF THE LOSS. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY DID NONE OF THAT, INDICATED EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR IS WEAR AND TEAR. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED POLICY ON THE VEHICLE AS WELL, BASICALLY NOTHING IS COVERED. AND TO BOOT, THEY

HAVING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE AT DEALER. UPON INVESTIGATION, I WAS INFORMED THE STEERING GEAR BOX WAS DAMP BUT NO SIGNS OF A LEAK. AT 39391 MILES SEEMS THAT PART(S) ARE DEFECTIVE. SEEMS TO ME THAT SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE STEERING SYSTEM SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAST WELL ABOVE 40000 MILES.

I WAS TURNING ON A GREEN ARROW FROM AN ON RAMP. A WOMAN IN AN LARGE FORD VAN HIT THE REAR DOOR AND QUARTER OF MY VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE SENDING US UP AND IN A CIRCLE. WE CAME DOWN HARD AFTER A COMPLETE CIRCLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ONSTAR DID NOT WORK. MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE AND MY MOTHER AND I RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT BRUISING. I HIT MY HEAD SO HARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IT THREW MY GLASSES INTO THE PASSENGER FLOOR. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS NO AIRBAG SYSTEM AS THIS WAS THE REASON I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY OF 7. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND WAS GIVEN ALL KINDS OF EXCUSES. I ARGUED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THEM. LATER - WE RECEIVE MASSIVE RECALLS ON FAILED AIRBAGS! THANK YOU CHEVY! THANKS A LOT FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS LET US DOWN OVER AND OVER. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A CHEVY! LITTLE WARRANTY, AND THEY WILL LET IT RUN OUT BEFORE THEY DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. SEE MY OTHER COMPLAINT. *TR

MY CAR NEVER COOLED WELL. THERE WOULD BE BURSTS OF COOL AIR AND THEN WARMER. IT WAS NEVER AS COLD AS OTHER CARS I RODE IN. WE BEGAN NOTICING A STRANGE NOISE ON ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT IN A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY HAD A MECHANIC JUST COME LISTEN, BUT NEVER HAD A REASON TO SEND IT IN FOR SERVICING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN FORMALLY ON 6-25-13 TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MISSOURI WHO FIXED THE CAR AFTER IT WAS HIT BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS FAILED! NOTHING WAS FOUND, ALTHOUGH THE BODYSHOP MAN WROTE UP THE WORK ORDER WRONG AS A SURGING. IT WAS A STRANGE SURGING CLICKING ON ACCELERATION, BUT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS UNDER THE DASH. WE THEN WOULD NOTICE THE AIR WOULD WARM SIGNIFICANTLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. I ALSO TOOK IT INTO HAMILTON WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THEY FOUND NOTHING. NOW, 4 YEARS OLD THE AIR-CONDITIONED HAS CONTINUED TO MAKE THE SOUND, BT MUCH LOUDER AND MORE LIKE A COMPRESSOR, AND WHEN BREAKING AND ACCELERATING. NOW, THEY FIND THE ISSUE ISA COMPUTER MODULE. 4 YEAR OLD CARS SHOULD NOT HAVE AN AIR-CONDITIONER GO OUT!

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING DECK WHEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I STOPPED, AND TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT. THIS WAY WAS HARD TO TURN ALSO. THE POWER STEERING RESUMED THERE AFTER, HOWEVER, HARD STEERING OCCURRED AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE RIGHT TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING RACK SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60-65 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT LANES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CLASSIFIED UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY FOR A STEERING PUMP; HOWEVER, THE FAULTY STEERING PUMP CAUSED THE RACK SYSTEM TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

NOTICED LEAK ON GARAGE FLOOR. DETERMINED POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING. BROUGHT TO DEALER. THEY CONFIRMED STEERING RACK WAS DEFECTIVE, BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. COULD HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF STEERING. RACK SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED SO SOON. CHEVY SHOULD REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS AT LEAST FOR COST OF PART AND ISSUE SERVICE BULLETIN. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR FATALITY OR CRASH BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN.

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE LAST NIGHT FROM THE DEALER. MY FIRST TIME BUYING A USED VEHICLE. WITHIN 3 MONTHS, MY HEAT STOPPED WORKING IN MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 40,000 MILES. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO AS I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NOT TOO LONG AGO, AND THEY STATED THERE WASNT ANY RECALL. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THIS FIXED. JUST RECENTLY THIS MONTH I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH A WHINING NOISE WHEN I AM DRIVING, AND WHEN I AM TURNING THE WHEEL. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FILED ALL OF MY FLUIDS, INCLUDING POWER STEERING WHICH WAS LOW. FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE A LEAK. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS, AND FOUND OUT THAT ALL OF THE 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE VEHICLES HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DEALER TODAY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, AS I DIDNT PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH THIS VEHICLE. SHOULD THIS NOT BE SOMETHING THAT IS COVERED UNDER CHEVROLET IF THE MAJORITY OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE?

THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING UNIT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,300. UPDATED 09/18/15*LJ

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MY MOTHER'S HOUSE, MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST POWER. THE WARNING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" CAME UP. THIS MADE MY CAR GO FROM 45MPH TO 25 MPH AT AN EXTREMELY ALARMING RATE WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS TODAY, ALL FILLED WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY GM IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THEY ARE WAITING FOR MULTIPLE INJURIES OR GOD FORBID DEATHS BEFORE THEY REACT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, AND HAVE PUT A LITTLE OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED, AND YET, JUST FROM READING SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THE FORUMS I HAVE READ I FEEL LIKE I MAY BE AT A LOSS ON THIS VEHICLE. I IMPLORE YOU TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. TOO MANY HARD WORKING PEOPLE HAVE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES TO ALLOW GM TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. I FEEL I MAY BE STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS FOR A CAR THAT CAN'T BE DRIVEN. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

PURCHASED A USED CHEVY TRAVERSE THAT NOW HAS 57,000 MILES. DURING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE STEERING GEAR. THE REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $1,600 USD. THE REPAIR IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE WORKING ORDER BUT IM DISAPPOINTED THAT IM HAVING TO PAY FOR A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ON A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE. NUMEROUS CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, I WOULD HOPE THAT CHEVY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION IN MORE DETAIL AND OFFER TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. I DID NOTICE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE (SERVICE BULLETIN 361329, ACTION NUMBER: 10052379), BUT THE EXISTENCE OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN STILL RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO PAY THE FULL COST OF THE REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THE SITUATION. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPERIENCED STEERING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING 55+ MILE PER HOUR WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND WE LIVE IN A VERY BUSY COMMUTING AREA. STEERING FAILURE COULD BE TRAGIC FOR US. PLEASE HELP *TR

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN GOSAR ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE MULTIPLE RECALLS (ATTN: STEPHEN BRIGGS). *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HER VEHICLE HAD THREE MAJOR SAFETY RECALLS REGARDING THE AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND WATER PUMP. RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING THE STABILTRAK SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE POWERING DOWN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 5 MPH. *JB

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH, MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND SLOWING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY! I HAVE GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME AND MY CHILDREN! *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ?11 IN 2010 AT A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN MARYLAND. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED A WHINING NOISE IN THE STEERING AT SLOW SPEEDS. WE BROUGHT IN THE TRAVERSE TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE STEERING ISSUE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT EVERY TIME WE BROUGHT THE TRAVERSE IN FOR OIL CHANGES. WE WERE TOLD TWO DIFFERENT RESPONSES, EITHER THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE OR THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND THE SOUND WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES. YEARS LATER THE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING SEEMED TO GET WORSE. LAST MONTH, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AND AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD, THEY ACTUALLY TOOK THE TIME TO DISCOVER THAT THERE WAS INDEED AN ISSUE WITH OUR STEERING AND IT WAS CAUSED BY A LEAK. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE $1800.00 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I TOLD THE GENTLEMAN WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND NOW AFTER THE WARRANTY, YOU TOOK THE TIME TO FIND THE ISSUE. THEY CHARGED ME $85.00 TO FILL UP THE POWER STEERING FLUID. I DECLINED HAVING THE REPAIRS BEING DONE AND TOOK MY CAR OVER TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE STEERING ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING IN THE CHEVY TRAVERSE 2011 SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT AND THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE MECHANIC PRINTED OUT THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10-02-32-002A AND RECOMMENDED ME CONTACTING CHEVROLET. I FEEL DISAPPOINTED THAT WE REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED YEARS AGO D

COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM IN MY 2011 TRAVERSE DUE TO A LEAK. PROBLEM IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM. THEY HAVE ADDRESSED A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP BUT WHEN OTHER PARTS IN THE SYSTEM FAIL DUE TO LEAKAGE, I THINK THAT CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE CONCERNED. BASED ON THE HIGH LEVEL OF COMPLAINTS WAGED BY OWNERS, THE PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING SYSTEMS IN GM'S TRAVERSE, ACADIA, ENCLAVE AND OUTLOOK FAMILY SEEMS TO BE WIDE-SPREAD. GM SHOULD HOLD ITSELF ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE INHERENT DEFECTS AND, IF NOT, PERHAPS THE NHTSA CAN MAKE SOME HEADWAY. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY TRAVERSE THAT NOW HAS 55,000 MILES. DURING TODAY'S SERVICE APPOINTMENT THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE STEERING GEAR. THE REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $1,600 USD. THE REPAIR IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE WORKING ORDER BUT I?M DISAPPOINTED THAT I?M HAVING TO PAY FOR A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR ON A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE. NUMEROUS CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, I WOULD HOPE THAT CHEVY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION IN MORE DETAIL AND OFFER TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. I DID NOTICE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE (SERVICE BULLETIN 361329, ACTION NUMBER: 10052379), BUT THE EXISTENCE OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN STILL RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO PAY THE FULL COST OF THE REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT CHEVY NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THE SITUATION. *TR

TOOK CAR FOR EMISSIONS TEST AND FOUND THAT MY RACK AND PINION WAS LEAKING. SERVICE GUY SAID I COULD LOSE CONTROL ON THE ROAD. THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD NOT ONLY TO MYSELF AND CHILDREN BUT OTHER PEOPLE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST GM AND THIS FAULTY PART! ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY! *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN OR VEHICLE IS ONLY BLOWING HOT AIR INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT WAS FOUND THAT IT WAS THE "BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR". THIS IS A $1200 DOLLAR REPAIR. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM HAS DONE NOTHING. *TR

STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT WHEN DRIVING. MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER, DIAGNOSED FAILURE OF POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION. WAS INFORMED THAT CHEVY WOULD ONLY COVER POWER STEERING PUMP UNDER SEPARATE EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY GM AND THAT RACK AND PINION IS NOT COVERED AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FULL COST OF REPLACEMENT. STEERING ISSUES APPEAR TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EXTEND WARRANTY FOR ENTIRE STEERING SYSTEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55MPH WHEN I NOTICED MY STEERING BECOMING VERY TIGHT SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO TURN INTO A PARKING PLACE, MY STEERING WAS VERY TIGHT AND I HAD A HARD TIME TURNING. I WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK WITH MY POWER STEERING FLUID SO I HAD MY LOCAL GARAGE CHECK IT, THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS FULL. WHEN I STARTED TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM, I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND WONDER WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED? MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I HAVE SEEN SOME QUOTE THE REPAIR EXPENSE UP INTO THE THOUSANDS.. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SERVICE STABILITRAC, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED MESSAGES SUDDENLY DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEALER REPLACED A COMPUTER AND THROTTLE BODY, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. ...UPDATED 06/09/15 *BF THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED FLUIDS WERE LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 06/25/15*JB

MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A WHIRING SOUND WHILE I WAS SITTING STILL AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL, THE NOISE GOT LOUDER, BUT IT DID NOT GET TIGHTER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY RACK AND PINION STEERING WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FLUID WHICH WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD CAUSE ME $1100 - $1200 TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE STEERING PUMP IS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL WARRANTY AND CAN BE REPAIRED WITHOUT ANY COST. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, I BROUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE TAKEN GREAT CAR OF IT. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS SO SOON. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEPENDABLE CAR, BUT APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IN THE FUTURE. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PROBLEM AND GM SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR SELLING VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE IDLING, THE REAR TAILGATE WINDOW GLASS POPPED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING A WHIRRING NOISE WHEN I WOULD STEER MY CAR. THEN ONE DAY LAST WEEK AS I WAS DRIVING THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT AND IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH THE POWER STEERING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL WARRANTY ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THAT WARRANTY AT NO CHARGE BUT DUE TO THE STEERING PUMP FAILING THE STEERING GEAR WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE "SPECIAL" WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF THIS MYSELF TO THE TUNE OF $1157.62. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT ALTHOUGH I CAN AFFORD TO FIX MY VEHICLE, WHICH I DID PAY TO FIX, I FIND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE AMOUNGST MANY CONSUMERS WHO OWN ANY OF THE VEHICLES ON THE LAMBDA LINE WHICH INLCUDES GMC ACADIA, CHEVY TRAVERSE, BUICK ENCLAVE AND SATURN OUTLOOK. THIS IS NOT ISSUE OF COST TO REPAIR, THIS IS AN ISSUE OF SAFETY THAT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND WILL NOT FIX UNDER RECALL. I AM HAPPY I FOUND MY PROBLEM BEFORE I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,020.

I WAS ON MY WAY THE CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE THE SAFETY BELT AND AIRBAG RECALL REPAIRS COMPLETED ON MY 2011 TRAVERSE. I HAD FOUR CHILDREN AGES (XXX) AND UNDER IN THE CAR WITH ME. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION I MADE A LEFT HAND TURN INTO THE INSIDE TRAFFIC LANE ON A BUSY 5 LANE ROAD AND BEGAN ACCELERATE TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. AS SOON AS I REACHED 40 MPH, MY SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH AND THE FOLLOWING WARNING MESSAGES SHOWED UP ON MY DASH: REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MERGE BACK OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN COMPLETELY PULL OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT WITHOUT GETTING REAR-ENDED BY THE CARS BEHIND ME THAT WERE TRAVELING AT THE SPEED LIMIT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON, AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. THE MAXIMUM RATE OF SPEED MY CAR WOULD REACH WAS 20 MPH, BUT I MANAGED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER TAKING BACK ROADS AND SUBDIVISION ROADS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE GM VEHICLES AND A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. AFTER TWO DAYS IN THE SHOP THEY COMPLETED THE TWO RECALL RELATED REPAIRS WITHOUT CHARGE, BUT MY COST TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND AND RESET THE IDLE WAS $513.00. I TOLD THE DEALER THAT I WAS AWARE THAT THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN AND WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE SO I DID NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS, BUT THEY REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE COST BECA

ENGINE OVERHEATED, REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME ON AND CAR SHUT DOWN. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. *TR

CAR BECAME VERY SLUGGISH SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO 40MPH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY TWO MESSAGES "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" CAR BARELY MOVED AFTER THAT. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TURNED THE CAR OFF, ATTEMPTED TO TURN IT BACK ON THE CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER 3 MINS THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE ERROR MESSAGES ARE STILL BEING DISPLAYED. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM APPARENTLY IT'S VERY COMMON AND A RECALL NEED TO BE ISSUED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON A HIGHWAY, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND TOLD THAT I COULD NOT PICK IT UP DUE TO A FAULTY RACK AND PINION THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE. NOW 30,000 MILES LATER THE RACK AND PINION HAS FAILED AGAIN AND HAS TO BE REPLACED MAKING THIS THE 3RD RACK IN PINION IN THIS CAR WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY ARE ALSO STATING FRONT STRUTS ARE NOW LEAKING. THEY FOUND THIS FAULTY RACK AND PINION WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR LOW COOLANT LEVELS AND THE WATER PUMP NEEDING REPLACED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WATCH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON SNOW COVERED ROADS ON 2/21/2015, A NOTIFICATION CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "SERVICE STABILITRACK", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 40MPH.
