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 NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON SIMILAR YEAR MAKES/MODELS IN REGARDS TO BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE FREQUENTLY HAS BRAKING ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL. IT OFTEN ALWAYS HAS NOISE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED THAT SOUNDS LIKE AIR BEING EXPELLED FROM THE LINE. THIS HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE RATES OF SPEEDS IN MULTIPLE DRIVING CONDITIONS; INCLUDING SLOW CITY DRIVING, HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, IN RAIN AND IN SNOW AS WELL AS DRY DAYS. THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2016. IS THE 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE BEING INVESTIGATED AS WELL OR WILL IT BE? THANK YOU!

Air Bags
AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON EVEN AFTER TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET THE RECALL FIXED. DEALERSHIP TEAM SAYS IT IS FIXED BUT LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. I'M NOT SURE IF THE MAINTENANCE TEAM HAS REALLY FIXED THE RECALL OR THEY ARE JUST RESETTING THE ALERT.

AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR AT 36K MILES. WAS SITTING STILL IN PARK WHEN I NOTICED. MY GIRLS WERE CRYING AND I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE REAR VENTS. SURE ENOUGH, HOT AIR. FRONT AC BLOWS COLD, BUT REAR BLOWS HOT AIR AND WHEN IT'S 90+ DEGREES OUT AND MY 3 DAUGHTERS ARE IN THE BACK SWEATING, ONE A NEWBORN, I THINK THAT'S PRETTY HAZARDOUS. YOU CAN'T LEAVE SOMEONE IN A VEHICLE WITH THE AIR OFF, LET ALONE BLOWING HOT AIR IN THE MIDDLE OF FULL BLOWN SUMMER. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, "THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL, AND THEREFORE CHEVROLET, NOR GM WILL HAVE NO PART IN HELPING WITH REPAIRS AND/OR REPLACEMENTS". I'M DISGUSTED, AS, I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE UNDER 4 MONTHS. MY WIFE AND I ARE LITERALLY HEARTBROKEN. WE POUR OUR LIVES INTO OUR JOBS, AND SPENDING IT ON A NEWER VEHICLE THAT HAS NO AC FOR OUR GIRLS. THIS WAS PART OF WHY WE GOT A CHEVROLET, BECAUSE OF THE RENOWNED NAME. BUT DANG, HAD I KNOWN THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, PLUS THE ISSUES I HAD AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE HOME... I WOULD HAVE WENT ELSEWHERE, PUT IT THAT WAY
