2015 Chevrolet Traverse

I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I BROUGHT IT FROM AT LEAST 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE SURGES WHILE DRIVING MOSTLY ON STREETS BUT ONCE WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME I WAS GIVEN EXCUSES " THATS THE NEW ELECTRIC ACCELERATOR " THATS THE 6TH GEAR" I HAVE OWNED A 2012 , 2014 NOW THE 2015 I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE SURGES OR LURCHING IN ANY OF MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES NOW LURCHING MORE OFTEN I AM TIRED OF LEAVING MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP, RENTING CARS ON MY OWN DIME AND GETTING EXCUSES THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE

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.

TRANSMISSION STARTED SHAKING VIGOROUSLY WHILE SLOWING DOWN THRU RESIDENTIAL AREA AT LOW SPEED GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AT ABOUT 15 TO 25 MPH. ENGINE STARTED TO HEAT. NOT A SINGLE WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON AND NEVER DID PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE ONLY HAS LESS THAN 86000 MILES, & APPARENTLY GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE(S) FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID AND TOOK IT FOR A 16 MILE TEST DRIVE. SUPPOSEDLY, IT WAS FIXED. BUT IT WASN'T. MULTIPLE REPORTS ON THE INTERNET SAY THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS THE PROBLEM & WILL FAIL BECAUSE OF LACK OF ADEQUATE COOLING FOR TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AT 42000 MILES FROM EITHER 1ST TO 2ND GEAR OR 2ND TO 3RD GEAR.

CAR ENGINE SAYS CHECK ENGINE TURN OFF OIL PRESSURE IS LOW. IT ALSO READS SENSOR P011. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. LOOK LIKE CHEVY ENGINES ARE NOT BUILT TO LAST POOR ENGINE. 2011 CHEVY TAHOE HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING... LOTS OF MECHANIC DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH THESE ENGINES BECAUSE IT'S DESIGNS ARE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. BAD MAKE WITH CHEVY COMPANY PERIOD...

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..

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.
