2015 Chevrolet Traverse

A WEEK AFTER THE PURCHASE, THE CAR STARTED TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE AC WENT OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE AIR COMPRESSOR. ABOUT A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE VEHICLE STOPPED WOULDN'T START. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DEEMED IT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK AND THE VERY NEXT DAY IT STARTED TO SMOKE WHILE DRIVING AND THE AC WENT OUT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ELECTRICAL SMOKE ODOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT BECAME NAUSEOUS BUT NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAKE COUNTRY BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 123 5TH ST NE, DEVILS LAKE, ND 58301, (701)401-2164 AND RYDELL CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC, 2700 S WASHINGTON ST, GRAND FORKS, ND 58201, (701)772-7211, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,500.

WHILE DRIVING, MY REVERSE CAMERA CAME ON, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF, ALERTS FOR PARKING ASSIST OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAX. LOSS ENGINE POWER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 10MPH WHILE FLOORING THE GAS. THIS HAPPENED ON A LOW TRAFFIC ROAD THANKFULLY OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE DIED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ALERTS BEGAN WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL, THE ENGINE LOSS WAS NOTED WHEN I TURNED. APPARENTLY THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF FORUMS REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TRAVERSE. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL? HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE IN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY ENGINE POWER LOSS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING?!

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.

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.
