INITIALLY I HAD AN ISSUE WITH SUDDEN HEAVY VIBRATION, PRIMARILY WHILE TURNING, WAS NOT RECORDING WITH A FAULT. PER MY SERVICE RECORDS ATTACHED THERE WERE SEVERAL TRIPS TRY A DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE MYSTERIOUS ISSUE REQUIRING GM ENGINEER SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS. SHORTLY AFTER MY FINAL SERVICE FOR THE VIBRATION ISSUE I REPORTED ABNORMAL SHIFTING DURING ACCELERATION AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE SHIFTING TRAINED TO THE DRIVER. THE ABNORMAL SHIFTING NEVER RESOLVED ITSELF. PERIODICALLY THE WARNING FOR SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL PRESENTS AND THE TRAVERSE PERFORMS ROUGHLY. THIS OCCURS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING..THE RELATED FAULT IS NOT RECORDED EITHER. RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BUT FEAR THAT THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT HAD IT OCCURED ON A BUSIER STREET OR HIGHWAY. I REACHED OUT TO GENERAL MOTORS AND CMA COLONIAL CHEVY AND THEY WANT TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC. I JUST HAD A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THAT THE FAULT CODES WERE NOT RECORDED AND THAT MY TRANSMISSIONIS FAILING. HISTORY OF SERVICE WITH THIS VEHICLE LEADS ME TO KNOW THAT PAYING FOR A 2ND DIAGNOSTIC AT THE DEALERSHIP WILL PRESENT THE SAME RESULTS.

I RECENTLY GOT THIS CAR FROM A LICENSED DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I THE CAR HAS BROKEN DOWN TWICE AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES. 2 OF WHICH WERE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING YOU EITHER FEEL A CONSTANT PULL THEN ITS ALMOST LIKE IT RELEASES AND THEN IT SPEEDS UP. THEN I HAVE A HARD TIME SLOWING IT DOWN. WHEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN THE TEMP GAUGE DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN, AC STOPPED WORKING AND WHEN I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE CAR IT WOULD START AGAIN. AFTER 30 MIN IT STARTED BUT IMMEDIATELY REV UP IN RPMS TO MAX AND WOULDN'T STOP TILL I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. THEY CAR HAS BEEN IN AS I WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED BUT IT STILL REVS UP RPMS HARD AND LONG, WHEN IT SHIFTS IT JUMPS, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF ITS LOOSING POWER ,THE BATTER LEVELS CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE ITS TRYING TO JUMP OUT OF MY HANDS. JOLTS ME LIKE I'VE HIT A POT HOLE BUT THERE IS NO POT HOLE. ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS FAR AS JUST BARLEY PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND THE LIGHTS DO SOME STUFF AND ALL THE DOORS LOCK, AND ITS SET TO LOCK WHEN UP TO SPEED. SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE CAR IT WILL HAVE A WEEK REV AND IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD WHEN YOU GET A JUMP AND YOUR TRYING TO PUMP THE JUICES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT STILL FEELING LIKE ITS PULLING AND THEN SPEEDS UP. RPMS STILL JUMP UP HARD AND LONG. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME ITS FIXED BUT IT IS NOT. THIS VEHICLE WAS MENTIONED TO BE A FAMILY CAR BUT I CANT TRUST ME OR MY FAMILY IS SAFE. IT WAS MADE 07/14 BUT HAS A 2015 VIN NUMBER. THIS CAR SHOULD OF BEEN PUT OUT OF SERVICE AND NEVER SOLD TO ANYONE. SINCE THE TRAVERS HAD SO MANY RECALLS IN 2014 WHICH BY THE WAY MATCH PERFECTLY AND MORE TO WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR JARRED FORWARD , MADE A POPPING SOUND AND LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE SPEED DROPPED. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO. THE STABILITY TRAC CAME ON THE DASH AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE HOME. I LOOKED THIS UP ON YOUTUBE AND FOUND OUT THE CAR DOES NOT KEEP A MEMORY OF THE CODE THE CAR THROWS WHEN THIS HAPPEN. AFTER THE CAR SITS ALL NIGHT IT "RESETS" ITSELF AND THE ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND I WAS LUCKY IT DID NOT STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE . THIS IS A HUGE SAFE ISSUE I HAUL MY CHILD AND GRANDDAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT IT. GET IT FIXED, DO A RECALL. *TR

SINCE AUGUST( AROUND 08/25/19), I'VE BEEN HAVING A SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFCATION WHICH I'VE TOOK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICES. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE A SENOR TO BE REPLACED AND PAYED FOR THE REPLACEMENT. SEPTEMBER ( AROUND 09/18/2019), THE SERVICE AIR BAG CAME ON AGAIN LESS THAN A MONTH WITH THE SAME NOTIFICATION. I WAS TOLD THEN THERE WAS A SECOND SENOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HERE I AM NOW IN NOVEMBER (11/20/19) WITH THE SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFCATION ON MY DASH BOARD AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING CHEVROLET ONCE MORE ABOUT THIS. I RESERACH THE RECALL BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I'M UNSURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE LIGHT EITHER POP UP AT THE START OF TURNING ON THE VEHICLE OR DURING THE DRIVE. NORMALLY ON THE FIRST DAY OF NOTIFICATION IT WILL GO OFF AFTER SECOND CRANK BUT WITHIN 3 DAYS WILL RETURN AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS PART IS NOT A CHEAP PART PLUS ADDING DEALERSHIP FEES.

WE HAVE 2 ISSUES. 1ST WAS IN JULY 2019, OUR POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT WITH ON 60,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSES. 2ND CONCERN IS IN SEPTEMBER 2019 OUR VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION CAPABILITIES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE DISPLAY SAID HAVE STABILITY CONTROL SERVICED. WE HAD TROUBLE MAKING IT HOME AND AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW HOURS IT THEN RAN FINE. IT WAS LIKE A COMPUTER GLITCH ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH OCCURRED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WAS VERY UNSAFE. WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT 50 MPH ON A CLEAR NICE AFTERNOON AND SLOWED TO 25 WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY.

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?!

THE CAR JERKS AND SURGES AND THE SERVICE STABILLITRAC WARNING LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING COMES ON...CURRENT MILEAGE 34368 WE WERE ON A CITY STREET CRUISING ABOUT 45 MPH WITH NO STRAIN ON THE CAR. THE INITIAL ISSUE STARTED 1 14 16 WITH 3743 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER, ROGER DEAN CHEVROLET, CAPE CORAL FL, FIVE TIMES.. EACH TIME ROGER DEAN SAYS IT IS FIXED, BUT IT HAPPENS AGAIN..?? HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT. VERY SEVERE SHAKING AND SURGING AND WE'VE HAD COUPLES IN THE CAR WITH US WHEN IT HAPPENS.. . CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL COMPLETELY STOP IN TRAFFIC OR ON THE MANY BRIDGES WE CROSS... THIS MAKES THE CAR TOTALLY UNRELIABLE AND SCARY TO DRIVE, AS WELL AS DANGEROUS..

ACCELERATING UP A SMALL HILL GOING 45 MPH, VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SLOW TO ABOUT 25 MPH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, CHECK STABILITRAK SYSTEM MESSAGE SHOWED AS WELL AS "TRACTION CONTROL OFF". I PUSHED THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON UNTIL IT CAME BACK ON BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL FLASHING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN. COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE!
