2015 Chevrolet Traverse

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL AND IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES. IT FREQUENTLY WILL NOT START FOLLOWING MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT TURNING THE IGNITION KEY, AND HAS ACTUALLY STALLED IN MOVING TRAFFIC WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE DRIVING, A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. DEALERSHIP HAS TWICE HAD VEHICLE FOR 4-5 DAYS AND INDICATED NO TROUBLE FOUND BOTH TIMES. DEALERSHIP HAS PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE IN CONTACTING GM (JOE LUNGHAMER CHEVROLET, WATERFORD MI). WE HAVE VIDEO OF PARKED VEHICLE NOT TURNING OVER IN GARAGE FOLLOWING MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT TURNING THE IGNITION, WHICH WOULD APPEAR TO BE AN IGNITION SWITCH OR ELECTRICAL DEFECT. VEHICLE HAS ON OCCASION IT HAS STALLED SHORTLY AFTER GETTING UNDERWAY, ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN IF PULLING OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP HAS RETURNED VEHICLE TO US WITHOUT REPAIR

WE RENTED THIS CAR FROM HERTZ.THE MIDDLE SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FALSELY LATCHED. WHEN LOADED (MY SON WAS REACHING TO GET SOMETHING) THE BELT BUCKLE DETACHED FROM THE RECEPTOR. I REPEATED THIS FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND RECORDED IT ON VIDEO. IT APPEARED AS IF THE RECEPTOR RELEASE MECHANISM WAS JAMMED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE FULLY TO THE TOP WHEN PRESSED. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PRESS THE RELEASE MECHANISM AS WELL. NO VIN NUMBER UPDATED 04/30/18*JB *AS

INTERMITTENT SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE THE CAR. THIS HAD HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVEN 3RD ROW PASSENGERS (KIDS) CAN SMELL THE FUEL. THIS HAD HAPPENED ON DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WITH DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND FUEL GAUGE. REFER TO BELOW. 10/2 3:50PM - 3/4 GAS RUNNING AT 40MPH 10/13 4:48PM - 1/2 GAS PARKED WHILE ENGINE IDLE 11/1 12:31PM - 1/4 GAS RUNNING AT 30MPH

IN 1 MONTH 4 INCIDENTS THAT I LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, 3XS ON MAIN STREET, ONCE ON HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED FOR A MOMENT THEN SHUT OFF. DURING THE LAST 2XS VEHICLE WAS SHAKING. DURING THE 3X, STABILITRAK LIGHTS CAME ON. ALL TIMES, I PULLED OVER (THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT), SHUT CAR OFF THEN RESTART. UPON 3X DEALERSHIP REPLACED PLUGS AND COILS, THEN HAD 4TH INCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO CODES AND CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. CAR IS GOING BACK IN TODAY FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS. VEHICLE IS LEASED AND JUST GOT TO 1 YEAR AND 12K MILES (130 MILES DEALER PUT ON TRYING TO RECREATE PROBLEM). THIS IS BEYOND DANGEROUS.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH 13,000 MILES. I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AFTER REVERSING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND DRIVING DOWN A SHORT STEEP HILL. I WANTED TO TURN AND TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT IT WAS NOT IN THE PROPER LOCATION. I GLIDED, PUT IN NEUTRAL AND PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. IT WAS AT NIGHT AND I DID NOT SEE THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. I PUT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL APPEARED TO BE IN THE CORRECT POSITION AND WORKING. I HAD CHEVY CHECK IT OUT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND IF I HAD PRESSED IT IF IT WOULD HAVE WORKED. IT SEEMS TO HAVE AN AIR LEAK SOUND SOMETIMES WHEN DEPRESSING BRAKE AND THEY JUST SAID IT WAS NORMAL THOUGH I DON'T RECALL HEARING THAT FOR 13,000 MILES BEFORE. I HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE BUT NOW FEAR FOR MY LIFE IF THE BRAKES GO OUT ON A HIGHWAY.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2LT IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AT THE SPEED LIMIT. THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE SEVERAL TIMES, THEN SHUT OFF ENGINE POWER ABRUPTLY AND LURCHED FORWARD AND BACK 5 TIMES HARD ENOUGH TO THROW HER INTO THE SEAT BELT. ABOUT THE LURCHING, SHE SAID IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS TRYING TO BRAKE TO A STOP. SHE HAD A WHOLE DASHBOARD FULL OF LIGHTS, AND SHE SAW A STATUS MESSAGE IN PLACE OF THE ODOMETER THAT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNING OFF. SHE WAS IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITHOUT ANY SHOULDERS, AND COULDN'T IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE ROAD, BUT THE ENGINE POWER RETURNED, SO SHE TOOK THE FIRST FREEWAY EXIT AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER SHE RESTARTED THE CAR, IT SEEMED TO BE NORMAL, SO SHE DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT IS WORKING PROPERLY NOW, SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, WITHOUT WARNING THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH, WENT OUT. THE LIGHTS IN THE CENTER DAS CONSOLE (FOR RADIO, ETC) WNET OUT. ALL INTERIOR LIUGHT WERE OUT. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES. I COULD NOT SIGNAL TO TURN, I DID NOT HAVE ANY WAY TO DETERMINE MY VEHICLE SPEED OR ANYTHING ABOUT THE OPERATING SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT THREE MINUTES ALL LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENDED TWICE IN A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS SINCE I LEASED THE VEHICLE ON 07/25/2015.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AT 30 MPH AT 11 PM. MY STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS ENGINE LIGHT. I LOST POWER AND STOPPED IN AN UNLIT, BUSY INTERSECTION. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. FORTUNATELY NO CARS HIT ME. I ROLLED INTO A SMALL DITCH AND STOPPED. IF I STEPPED ON THE GAS, NOTHING REALLY HAPPENED. I SHUT CAR OFF AND LOOKED IN OWNERS MANUAL WHERE IT SAID TO START CAR UP AGAIN. I DID AND THEN IT WORKED. I DROVE TO CAR DEALER NEXT DAY AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON AS I GOT OUT OF MY CAR THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE ME A LOANER, WHICH I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING. MTHE SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION SENSOR OR SWITCH THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE. OBVIOUSLY, GMMKNOWS ABOUT THIS. THIS COULD HVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT, EASILY. THIS IS A CRIME IN THAT MY DEALER SOLD ME THIS CAR WITHOUT DISCLOSING A KNOWN PROBLEM TO ME. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND I WILL TRY TO TRADE IT IN ASAP FOR SOMETHING LESS HAZARDOUS. AGAIN, THIS IS A CRIMINAL ACT THAT GM IS DOING BY CONTINUING TO SELL THESE CARS. IF NO ONE HAS DIED YET, THEY WILL SOON. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
