2012 Chevrolet Traverse complaints

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 DROV

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
