2015 Chevrolet Traverse complaints

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS A FACTORY PLUG THAT ISN'T MAKING A GOOD CONNECTION I HAD TO PAY A CHEVY GARAGE TO SOLDIER ITS A FACTORY SERVICE BULLETIN

TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG SENSOR WILL COME ON AND STAY ON FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS IT WILL ONLY COME ON ONCE IN A WHILE AND A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT IT WON'T COME ON ALL. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM DRIVING OR STOPPED ON ON ANY SURFACE AT ANY SPEED.

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT AT 59,520 MILES AND COST ME WITH HOSES AND FLUSH OF FUEL SYSTEM FROM KUNI CHEVROLET 3,051.85. I BOUGHT THE CAR MAY 7, 2016. POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY STATED WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 45,183 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHEVY TRAVERSE AND NEEDS TO BE SET AS A RECALL. CAR WAS SQUEALING AND MAKING GRINDING NOISES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN MAKING TURNS OR CHANGING LANES, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL STEERING SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO FERMAN CHEVROLET OF TAMPA (LOCATED AT 9751 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619, (813) 623-2411), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8-4636845588. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND DOES NOT WANT TO START WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK

MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING, I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I TURNED BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WAS BACK. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR AND NOW JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. I HAVE THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE SHOP AGAIN ON MONDAY.

VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DECELERATE, WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND NOTIFICATIONS THAT TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, AND STABILITRAK IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WHILE DRIVING (STRAIGHT ON 25MPH ROAD) ONCE-MOST RECENT- WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER FIRST TIME, HAD VEHICLE SERVICED AND HAD A PURGE VALVE REPLACED PER COMPUTER ERROR CODE. VEHICLE IS AWAITING SERVICE AGAIN. TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE, SHUT OFF IS REQUIRED (TWO TIMES) BUT ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. WEATHER WAS FAIR BOTH DAYS-OVERCAST, BUT ROADS WERE DRY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A VERY WET SUMMER, PREVIOUSLY A WINTER WITH A LOT OF SALT AND ANTI-SKID TREATMENTS. VEHICLE DOES NOT TRAVEL MUCH OTHER THAN TO MY CHILD'S SCHOOL AND BASIC ERRANDS. ONLY IN MY POSSESSION 2 YEARS AS OF JULY.

WHILE TURNING MY VEHICLE THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD AND SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS IN THE LINE. IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM.

HAD TWO TO THREE TIRES REPLACED DUE TO FLATS DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT CAUSED FLATS , TIRES CAN NEVER HOLD A PROPER INFLATION OF 35 PSI , SOME TIRES GO VERY LOW (27PSI )CAUSING PANIC TO MY WIFE AND FAMILY AS WE DRIVE VEHICLE . FLATS WERE NOTED WHILE DRIVING AS LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS CAME ON. I PUT 7/7/2018 ONLY TO ACCESS DATES COULD FOLLOW CHEVY SERVICE DEPT

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT HAVE INVOLVED SERVICE STABILITREK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COMING ON ALONG WITH ENGINE POWER REDUCING WARNING. I'VE LOST POWER AND HAD SPEED DRAMATICALLY REDUCE PUTTING ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND VEHICLE SLOWS TO A STOP. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, SECOND TIME I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I LOST STEERING IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS MENTIONED. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WILL BE GOING BACK TOMORROW AS MY HUSBAND HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN TONIGHT WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THEY SAID A HOSE HAD COME LOOSE AND ENGINE MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THIRD TIME I TOOK IT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THE CAR DID NOT ACT UP WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE. CAR IS ALSO SHIFTING FORCEFULLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (LEMOND'S CHEVROLET BUICK & CADILLAC, 412 E MAIN ST, FAIRFIELD IL 62837, 618-842-2147) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP, LOCK UP AND SHUTS DOWN, ALL POWER IS LOCKED. VERY SCARY AND NOT SAFE. ONCE IT STOPS IT WILL RESTART AFTER AWHILE. UNABLE TO TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF MY LIFE OR OTHERS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS PASSENGERS & DRIVER NEED TO PUSH IT TO A SAFE SPOT IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 11/1/18*JB

AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR STARTED TO STUTTER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE STABILIZER NEEDS FIXED, REDUCED ENGINE POWER. CAR STOPPED WENT INTO LIMP MODE. GLAD I WASN'T IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. WE WERE IN A CITY STREET. MY CAR HAS 48717 MILES ON IT

AIRBAGS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON . PROBLEM WITH TERRING WHEEL TOO HARD TO TURN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT LAP BELT CABLE SNAPPED. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED J&R CHEVROLET OF OAKLEY AT (785) 672-3102 (LOCATED AT 611 S FREEMAN AVE, OAKLEY, KS 67748) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WHILE DRIVING, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND. CERTAIN SERVICE SIGNS ALSO APPEAR AND THEY ARE 'SERVICE STABILITRAK,' SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,' 'TRACTION CONTROL OFF,' AND 'PARK ASSIST OFF.' THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A FAIRLY BUSY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND HAD TO PHYSICALLY NOTIFY THE DRIVER COMING TOWARDS ME TO STOP. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN T-BONED! THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE APPEARED, THEY CLEARED IT AND TEST DROVE IT AND IT WAS FINE. HOWEVER, A MONTH LATER, IT DID IT AGAIN. HUGE LIABILITY HERE! DURING BOTH INCIDENTS, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD.

RADIATOR RUNNING HOT IN MOTION WHILE VEHICLE WAS ON STREET AT THE TIME 38,000 MILES DURING THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS 2017

AT 41,000 MILES MARCH 2018 AFTER GETTING GAS NOTICED VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CRANK

HVAC AC STOPPED WORKING AT 52,000 MILES STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON STREET/HIGHWAY

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2015 TRAVERSE A WEEK AGO AND NOTICED THAT THE TIRES HAVE LARGE CRACKS IN THEM, MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 34,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TIRES ARE THE ONES PUT ON FROM THE FACTORY, I'VE LOOKED FOR RECALLS, AND THERE IS ONE OUT FOR THE TIRES, BUT NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN. THE TIRES ARE DOING THE EXACT SAME WAY AS THE RECALL.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER 38 MONTHS. THE PROBLEM BEGAN ON 6-13-2018 WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I SHIFTED OUT OF PARK THERE WERE CLICKING NOISES IN THE DASH. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED IT WAS A SOLENOID THAT NEEDED REPLACING IN THE DASH. IT WAS REPLACED, BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE TWO OF THESE SOLENOIDS SO THEY ORDERED THE OTHER ONE AND THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE "HOUSING" FOR ONE OF THESE SOLENOIDS NEEDED REPLACING. THEY HAD TWO OTHER 2015 TRAVERSES AND BOTH OF THEM HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE MECHANICS HAD NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I THINK THAT THE OWNERS OF THE OTHER TWO VEHICLES NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO THIS NOISE AND/OR THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL. MY POINT IS THAT THIS SHOULD BE RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THESE SOLENOIDS/HOUSINGS ARE FAULTY. IF ONE FAILS THEN YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF PARK TO SHIFT. IF THEY ARE FAULTY, THEN WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

SEAT-BELTS: WHEN BUCKLE IT, THE HARD PART INJURES THE PASSENGER. DRIVER SEAT: PELLETS CAME OUT OF THE RAIL OF THE SEAT. DRIVER SEAT HEADREST: WHEN DRIVING, IF A PERSON HOLDS THE HEADREST AND PUSH IT, IT MOVES, MAKING THE DRIVER MOVE THE HEAD. THE HEADREST DO NOT HAVE A LOCK. ALL THESE ISSUES HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING IN THE STREET, HIGHWAY. THIS IS UNSAFE CONDITION FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL FOR THE PASSENGERS. I HOPE THIS ISSUES ARE RESOLVED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCUR.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AFTER HAVING IT FIXED. MY STABILITRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON RANDOMLY AFTER HAVING IT FIXED TWICE. THEN BEING TOLD IT'S A SENSOR THAT MAKES IT COME ON, AND THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TO REPRODUCING THE ISSUE AT CHEVY SERVICE CENTER. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE AND MAKES TRUCK JERK. I HAVE TO PULL OVER LET THE CAR RESET, AND THEN START DRIVING AGAIN. DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, AND SPEEDS, EVER SINCE DECEMBER/JANUARY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER IN SOMERVILLE, SC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

VEHICLE DOESN'T TURN OFF WHEN KEY TURNED TO OFF POSITION AND REMOVED

THE LIFTGATE IS CLOSING AUTONOMOUSLY, WITHOUT ANY OF THE BUTTONS ON THE LIFTGATE, KEY FOB, OR CONSOLE BEING PUSHED. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES NOW, STARTING THIS MORNING, FEB 14, 2018. TWICE IT ALMOST HIT SOMEONE ON THE HEAD WHEN PLACING ITEMS INTO OR REMOVING ITEMS FROM THE REAR STORAGE AREA. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND STATIONARY.

DASHBOARD DISPLAYS "SERVICE AIRBAG" RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. I LOOKED UP SPECIAL COVERAGE 15804 AND BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED. MY VIN DOESN'T HAVE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE BUT THE DIAGNOSTICS ARE THE SAME AS DESCRIBED. DEALERSHIP AGREED TO OBTAIN DIC CODE WHICH IS B0014. THIS CODE IS INCLUDED IN SPECIAL COVERAGE 15804 BUT MY VIN HASN'T BEEN INCLUDED. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND UPON IGNITION.

I WAS ORIGINALLY IN A PARKING LOT, STOPPED COMPLETELY, THEN PROCEEDED TO GENTLY TURN LEFT IN TO A PARKING SPACE. I BARELY PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR REVVED UP AND TOOK OFF FULL SPEED AHEAD MAKING ME CRASH IN TO A HILL. THE HILL IS A SMALL LANDSCAPE SPACE THAT DIVIDES THE PARKING LOT AND A BUSY 6 LANE STREET. THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS DAMAGED. I WAS COMPLETELY SHOCKED YET THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN IN AN INTERSECTION OR IN TRAFFIC. I HAD THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP SO THEY CAN ASSESS THE ISSUE AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING STARTING IT UP AND DRIVING AGAIN. I TOWED IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP I HAD JUST LEFT FROM AS THIS SAME DAY THEY HAD COMPLETED A REPAIR ON THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM. I FILED A CLAIM WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I'M STILL WAITING TO FOR THE VEHICLE INSPECTION REPORT DETAILS.

HAVE A 2015, TRAVERSE, WITH SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED IN EARLIER MODELS. I THOUGHT AFTER A RECALL, THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD BE ADDRESSED. THE LIFT GATE ON MY DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE HIT MY HEAD AND CONTINUED TO CLOSE ON ME. I DIDN'T ATTEMPT IT, BUT IT SEEMED AS IF IT WOULD HAVE CLOSED ON ME. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET A FOLDING CHAIR FROM CARGO AREA, WHILE SHE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

AIR BAG ON FRONT PASSENGER HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER 1 YEAR. I AM CURRENTLY NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR WARRANTY. JUST RECEIVED CAR FROM TK HOLDINGS INC , THAT MY CAR HAS A TAKATA-MANUFACURED AIR BAG.

MY TIRES CAME WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR IN 2015. IT IS 2017 AND THEY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON THEM. ALL 4 OF MY TIRES HAD LARGE CRACKS IN THE INNER SIDE OF MY TIRES. ALSO, THESE TIRES WORE UNEVENLY. I HAVE HAD TIRE ROTATIONS EVERY BALANCES WITH EVERY ON TIME SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. AS WELL AS HAD A FEW ALIGNMENT IN THE PAST TWO YEARS TO ENSURE I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT BY THESE TIRES. I WENT IN THURSDAY OCTOBER 19TH TO GET A POSSIBLE LEAK CHECKED. THE TIRE PLACE SAID I WAS DUE FOR 4 NEW TIRES FOR WEAR AND CRACKS. I WAS LIKE, WHAT? MY CAR IS TOO NEW FOR NEW TIRES AND LOW MILAGE ON THE TIRES. THIS POSED A TIRE BLOW OUT THREAT AND POTENTIAL THREAT TO MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY. I HAVE KEPT MY TIRES TO SUBMIT AS PROOF. THE PICTURE DOES DO ITS JUSTICE AS THE CRACKS WERE FAR BIGGER AND MORE APPARENT WHEN THEY WERE ACTUALLY ON MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOU BACHRODT CHEVROLET (7070 CHERRYVALE N BLVD, ROCKFORD, IL 61112, PHONE NUMBER: (815) 332-3000) WHERE IT WAS MISDIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCER FAILED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SPARK. THE HARMONIC BALANCER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS RE-DIAGNOSED THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE BRITAX B SAFE 35 ELITE INFANT CAR SEAT AND THE RED RELEASE BUTTON FOUND ON TOP OF THE SEAT WHERE AN INFANT'S FEET/LEGS REST. MY DAUGHTER JUST TURNED 1 A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IS ABLE TO RELEASE THE STRAPS IN THIS CAR SEAT HERSELF. SHE RESTS HER FEET ON THE RED BUTTON AND WITH THE ROAD MOVEMENT OF THE CAR AND HER WIGGLING AROUND, SHE IS ABLE TO LOOSEN THE SEAT ENOUGH TO GET HER ARM OUT OF THE STRAP. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH FORCE WHATSOEVER TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BUTTON TO CAUSE THE STRAPS TO LOOSEN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SHE HAS LOOSENED HERSELF FROM THIS SEAT. THE BUTTON IS FULLY EXPOSED WITH NO COVERING IN AN AREA THAT CHILDREN REST THEIR FEET. AFTER VISITING SEVERAL CAR SEAT RETAILERS, I NOTED THAT BRITAX B SAFE INFANT SEAT WAS THE ONLY CAR SEAT THAT DID NOT HAVE A COVERING OVER THE RELEASE BUTTON. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THOSE CAR SEATS IF NEEDED. EVEN BRITAX'S OWN CONVERTIBLE SEATS AT LEAST HAVE A LIP OVER THE BUTTON TO PREVENT CHILDREN FROM RELEASING IT. EVERY SINGLE CAR SEAT I CAME ACROSS EITHER HAD THE RELEASE BUTTON UNDER THE PADDING, HAD A PLASTIC LIP THAT EXTENDED OVER THE BUTTON, OR WAS POSITIONED IN A WAY THAT A CHILD COULD NOT RELEASE IT (MUCH LESS AN INFANT). THIS CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN AND SAFETY FEATURE THAT WAS OVERLOOKED BY BRITAX. BRITAX CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME MY DAUGHTER WAS TOO TALL FOR THE SEAT YET SHE FALLS UNDER THE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS OF 32 INCHES AND/OR 35 LBS. THIS IS MY 4TH BRITAX CAR SEAT PURCHASE AND I HAVE BEEN IM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PURGE VALVE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER.

MY CAR HAS 46K MILES, SEVERAL TIMES NOW MY SERVICE STABILITRACK HAS CAME ON ALONG WITH SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND MY ENGINE LIGHT. IVE HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT READ AND IT READS P0700. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, CLEANED SENSORS, CLEANED THROTTLE BODY, CHECKED ELECTRICAL WIRING AND EVEN THE ALTERNATOR AND ITS STILL HAPPENING! SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD MY 4 KIDS IN MY CAR WHEN THE CAR SAYS "REDUCED POWER" AND I ALMOST GET HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT WILL ONLY GO 15-20MPH. NOTHING HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM AND I DONT WANT TO HAVE A WRECK OR GET HURT IN ORDER FOR IT TO GET FIXED!! PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I BAUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DEPENDABLE!

RECENTLY LEASED VEHICLE IS A HAZARD! ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES, DECELERATES AND BRAKES ON ITS OWN. TRANSMISSION CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE VEHICLE CAN NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT, IT DOES NOT MOVE WHEN PLACED INTO REVERSE AND SOUNDS LIKE A CAR BADLY OUT OF SHAPE. THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND MAKES LOUD CLUNKING SOUNDS AS IF THE DIFFERENT SPEEDS COULD NOT KICK IN. THE CAR HAS NEVER GIVEN ANY WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR ALL THE ISSUES IT PRESENTS. ELECTRICAL ISSUES: CAN NOT CHARGE PHONE ON IT. TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEIR REPORTS STATE NO CODES AVAILABLE FOR ANY POSSIBLE ISSUE. ONLY UNTIL THE CAR STARTED TO BURN AND SHOW SMOKE, DID THE MECHANICS ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. REPORT RETURNED SHOWS THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH NO ROOT CAUSE FOUND, STEERING WHEEL AND ALIGNMENT WHERE NEEDED, SEVERAL PIECES KNOWN AS CLUTCHES/PATS HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALL THESE ISSUES PRESENTED DRIVING IN STREET TRAFFIC UNDER 40MPH AND IN SHORT DISTANCES.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN APRIL 2017, MAY 2017 DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO (2) YEAR OLD AND THE HEAD LIGHTS SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY TWO YEARS. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AFTER RETURNING TO TRUCK FOUR HOURS LATER. WHENEVER I ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND RIDE BECAME UNSTABLE.

MY SIDE CANOPY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, LOCKED UP MY SEAT BELTS AND THE AIR BAG IN THE DRIVER SEAT ALSO DEPLOYED. AS WELL WITH US RUNNING IN TO ANYTHING AT ALL. WE GOING DOWN THE STREET. WE HAD JUST MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN

WHEN ACCELERATING OR BRAKING THE DRIVER SEAT SHIFTS FORWARD OR BACKWARD EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT IS POWER DRIVEN.

I RECENTLY NOTED SEVERE DRY ROT OR CRACKING IN THE TIRE TREAD. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 22K MILES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE (PREMATURE TREAD CRACKING) FOR THE SPECIFIC OE TIRE MODEL AND SIZE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS. HOWEVER, ACCORDING TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS APPARENT FROM THE CONDITION OF THESE TIRES THAT THE RECALL MUST BE EXPANDED TO COVER MORE VEHICLES THAN ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL: THE REC ALL BEGAN ON MARCH 9, 2015. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-521-7300 (BUICK), 1-800-222-1020 (CHEVROLET), OR 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM'S NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 15025/15067.

ON SEPT. 17 2016, WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE CAR'S ENGINE SLOWED DRAMATICALLY AND STABILITY TRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SLOW ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND TURNED IT OFF. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL. THERE WAS A PUNGENT SMELL ALL INSIDE THE CAR OF GAS AND OTHER FUMES, BUT I DID NOT SEE ANY FLUIDS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO START THE CAR WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. I ROLLED DOWN ALL OF THE WINDOWS TO LESSEN THE ODOR. THE CAR STARTED AS USUAL AND I STARTED BACK DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WITHIN 3 MILES THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING. I HAD LOST SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL IN 3 MILES. I GOT THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND IT DIED AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK OVER. WHEN I TRIED TO GET IT TO START, THE IGNITION GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT STOP TRYING TO TURN OVER. THE CAR WAS LOSING FUEL AND WOULD NOT RUN AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE PART SEVERAL DAYS LATER. ON NOV. 11, 2016, AS I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR BEGAN FLASHING THE EXACT SAME WARNING CODES AS IN SEPT. THE CAR WOULD GO ABOUT 5-10 MPH AND I WAS STRANDED IN A 6 LANE INTERSECTION. I TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR INTO A

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THREADS BETWEEN THE TIRES WERE CRACKED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE BRAND NAME AND TIRE LINE OF THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR FORTERA HL TIRES, SIZE: P255/65R18. THE CONTACT STATED THE "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY INFLATE THE TIRES DUE TO ABNORMAL LOSS OF AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TREAD WAS CRACKING ABNORMALLY. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN, DOT NUMBER, AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT 65 TO 70 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE SPEED CONTINUED DECREASING WHEN WE NOTICED THAT THE RADIO HAD ALSO SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE OUR WAY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT ANY MISHAP. THAT'S WHEN WE NOTICE THE ENGINE WAS ALSO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WAS PUZZLED THAT THEY WERE NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER IN THE MEANTIME. I WAS TOLD THAT MOST LIKELY THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT MUCH CONSOLATION, TO US WHEN WE WILL BE RETURNING TO FLORIDA IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND WONDER WHETHER THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN WHEN WE ARE ON EXPRESSWAYS WITH FIVE TO SIX LANES, ALL GOING 70 MPH OR MORE AND WITH LITTLE ROOM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY TO SAFETY. LOOKING AT OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES, WHAT IS MENTIONED AS THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE SWITCH, THE BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR, OR WIRING TO ALL THESE COMPONENTS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED AND REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 80MPH. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE ACCELERATOR STAYED IN THE DOWN POSITION AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. WE WERE UP TO 90 MPH. I PUT MY FEET ON THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO 70MPH. THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL STUCK IN THE FLOORED POSITION AND FIGHTING THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO MANIPULATE MY FOOT BEHIND THE ACCELERATOR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PULL THE ACCELERATOR UP IT RELEASED. THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START. CHEVROLET TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR AND MODULE WENT 'BAD' PER THE DEALER. THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK PER THE DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON SECONDARY ROADWAY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED WITH THE DASH CLUSTER INDICATING THAT THE STABILTRAK SYSTEM WAS OFF AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE MID 30'S AND THERE WAS PRECIPITATION ON THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 25MPH. THIS HAPPENED AFTER A LONG HIGHWAY RUN FROM NYC TO CLEVELAND. I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP IN A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT I SEE SIMILAR POSTS AND I'M NOT SURE THIS CAR IS SAFE.

TAKATA RECALL, THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AS SERVICE AIR BAG IN MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO SERVICE MY AIR BAG BECAUSE I HAVE PASSED THE 30K BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AN AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING OR DEPLOYING AT THE WRONG TIME. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME THE LIGHT WAS ON. THE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND THEN GOES OUT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THEIR AIR BAG ISSUES AND FIX THEM ASAP
