2015 Chevrolet Traverse

I WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2015 TRAVERSE ACCELERATED TO 40-50 MILES PER HOUR TO MY HORROR. I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE INDY 500. THE CAR BACKED INTO A TREE IN MY FRONT YARD, THEN AT THE SAME HIGH SPEED LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND RACED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO 2 PARKED CARS IN MY BACK YARD. HAD THE 2 PARKED CARS NOT STOPPED ME MY NEIGHBORS FEEL I WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE LAKE IN MY BACK YARD. MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF, YET THE ONE IN THE EMPTY PARKED CAR DID GO OFF. ALL 3 VEHICLES WERE A TOTAL LOSS.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED GOING ABOUT 50MPH AND HIT A TREE IN MY YARD, THEN THE FRONT END LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND THE CAR RACED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO MY FRIEND'S CAR. THEY BOTH HIT MY PICKUP TRUCK ALSO. ALL 3 VEHICLES ARE A TOTAL LOSS. FROM THE NEIGHBORS WHO OBSERVED THIS, IT'S A MIRACLE I WASN'T BADLY INJURED. ALSO I HAVE A TEAR IN MY ACHILLES TENDON ON RIGHT FOOT SO IN NO WAY COULD I HAVE MASHED ON ACCELERATOR

I OPENED MY POWER LIFT GATE USING MY KEY FAB. AFTER PUTTING ITEMS IN THE BACK, I PUSHED THE CLOSE BUTTON LOCATED ON THE LIFT GATE. I THOUGHT I HAD LEFT MY KEYS LAYING INSIDE WITH THE ITEMS I HAD JUST PLACED IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. KNOWING THAT THE SENSORS WOULD READ THAT MY ARM WOULD BLOCK THE DOOR FROM CLOSING, I COULD RETRIEVE MY KEYS. AS IT CONTINUED TO CLOSE, I REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT RECOGNIZING MY ARM. AS I TRIED TO PULL MY ARM AWAY FROM THE DOOR, IT CAUGHT MY THUMB AND CRUSHED IT. IT REMAINED CLOSED IN THE BACK HATCH UNTIL HELP ARRIVED TO OPEN IT WITH THE KEYS. I WENT TO MY DR AND RECEIVED XRAYS. I FRACTURED MY THUMB AND AM CURRENTLY RECEIVING PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENT. I AM CONSTANTLY IN PAIN. WHEN I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS, I WAS BRUSHED OFF.

THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN EMITTING COLD AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE, AND WARM AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE AUG 2018. DEALER SAID REAR EVAPORATOR COIL LEAKING DUE TO CORROSION. CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. REPLACEMENT PARTS $1,254 AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 2 YEARS. GM NEEDS TO USE METAL PARTS THAT DON'T CORRODE, AS COIL IS LOCATED UNDER THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. POOR ENGINEERING AS IT WILL GET LOTS OF CORROSIVE SPRAY WITH NO WAY TO CLEAN IT AS IT IS SURROUNDED BY A METAL PLATE WITH SMALL HOLES. THIS PART SHOULD BE ENCLOSED SOMEHOW AWAY FROM CORROSIVE ROAD SPRAY. I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER, AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM TO ME BECAUSE OF POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING 40 MPH ON THE I-17 FREEWAY AND WAS REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH UPON IMPACT ALL SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AND DRIVER SEAT AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED AFTER DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGERS WERE THROWN FORWARD DURING THE ACCIDENT UPON OUR BODIES BEING THROWN BACK AGAINST THE SEATS THE SEATS BOTH FELL INTO RECLINE POSITIONS ON TOP OF OUR TWO CHILDREN IN THE CENTER ROW BUCKET SEATS. OUR SEATS FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE IMPACT OF OUR BODIES AND KEEP US UPRIGHT PROTECTING US FROM INJURY AND NECK AND BACK WHIPLASH.
