2017 Chevrolet Traverse

I PURCHASED A 2017 CHEVY TRAVERSE IN 2018, WITH IT'S ORIGINAL FACTORY GOODYEAR FORTERA P255/65R18 109S DOT 4RXM ARDR 2916 TIRES. ON 4/29/20 THE LOW TIRE LIGHT CAME ON AND I DISCOVERED A SCREW WAS IN THE TIRE. I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE GUY THERE NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WAS CRACKING AND SPLITTING FROM THE RIM. HE SAID THOSE SPECIFIC GOODYEAR TIRES ARE TO BE GOOD FOR 65,000 MILES. THE CHEVY TRAVERSE ONLY HAS 36,120 MILES ON IT, 9,000 MORE THAN WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. I NOW HAVE TO PURCHASE FOUR NEW TIRES BECAUSE THE CURRENT ONES ARE BEGINNING TO SPIT AND CRACK WHICH COULD LEAD TO A BLOW OUT. MY WIFE MAINLY DRIVES THE TRAVERSE WITH OUR 2 DAUGHTERS TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND DAYCARE. I WILL PROVIDE A PICTURE WHERE YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE SPLIT BELOW THE RIM.

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED TODAY. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR WILL START REVVING UP SUDDENLY AND WILL LURCH FORWARD. IT TAKES ALL OF MY WEIGHT ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING. I HAVE ALMOST HIT A COUPLE OF CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND TODAY IT ALMOST TOOK ME OFF THE SIDE OF A ROAD WITH A STEEP EMBANKMENT. IT IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. IF IT KEEPS HAPPENING, AT THE VERY LEAST I AM GOING TO HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE AND AT THE WORST I, MY FAMILY, OR AN OTHER INDIVIDUAL WILL GET HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED UPON ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, ANOTHER VEHICLE T-BONED THE DRIVER SIDE OF HIS VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED HE AND HIS PASSENGER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION, BROKEN RIBS AND BRUISING AS WELL HIS PASSENGER SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 22,000.

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN MY 2017 TRAVERSE, WHEN I GO TO CRANK IT, IT'S TAKES A WHILE TO START AND THEN WHEN IT DOES START, IT IDLES REALLY HIGH. SOMETIMES IF I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE JUST CUTS OFF. TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE WITH MY FAMILY, THE ENGINE CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE I LIVE IN ATLANTA, GA AND OFTEN TAKE THE HIGHWAY AND I'M AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE CALLED CHEVY AND I AM WAITING ON A CALL BACK BECAUSE I HAD TO LEAVE A VOICEMAIL. I LOOKED FOR A RECALL AND COULD NOT FIND ANY. THIS IS VERY ODD CONSIDERING ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I LIVE IN COLD CLIMATE WITH SNOW AND ICE CONDITIONS.WHEN IN MOTION, USUALLY WHEN THE ENGINE HAS REACHED RUNNING TEMPERATURE IS WHEN THE ISSUES TEND TO OCCUR. I NOTICE IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IF THERE IS ICE BUILD UP ON THE RIMS CAUSING AN IMBALANCE IN THE WHEELS BUT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS FREE OF ANY ICE OR SNOW BUILD UP. THE RESULTS OF THIS IS OUT OF NO WHERE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED,STABILITY TRAK , PARK ASSIST EXCT. WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES NOW IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS MAKING THIS CHEVY TRAVERSE UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY OF FIVE,THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND THE CLOSEST CHEVY DEALERSHIP IS 135 MILES AWAY. WITH ALL THAT BEING THE CASE I DID RESEARCH ON MY VEHICLES ISSUES TO FIND MANY WEBSITES AND FORUMS OF COUNTLESS PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES UP TO 8 YEARS OLDER THAN MINE ANY MANY VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL. YET NO RECALLS ARE FOUND ON THESE MODELS AND HAVE PUT MANY PEOPLE IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I HAVE NOT TOOK MY TRAVERSE TO THE DEALER YET BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I WOULD GET TOOK ADVANTAGE OF LIKE THE HUNDRED OR SO POSTS THAT I READ ABOUT PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN AND WROTE ABOUT THERE DEALER HORROR STORIES. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX FOR THERE CONSUMER'S AND HAS FAILED TO DO SO FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS

TODAY I STARTED TO DEVELOP A WHINING NOISE AND THE STEERING HAS STARTED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY HARDER TO TURN IN THE PAST WEEK. IT IS HARD TO TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE HAVE BEEN VARIOUS TIMES WHERE I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE WHEN TRYING TO PARK DUE TO THE STEERING BECOMING VERY STIFF. I'VE ALSO HAD A CLOSE CALL GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE MAKING A U-TURN DUE TO THE STEERING BEING NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN TODAY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I WAS TRY TO TURN LEFT INTO A PARKING DRIVE WAY WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND CARS BEHIND ME. LUCKILY THEY STOPPED. I COULDNT MAKE THE TURN AT ONCE. THE WHEEL WAS TOO TIGHT AND I DIDNT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO THE LEFT TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I HAD TO GO BACK AND TRY AGAIN. I HIT THE SIDEWALK CURB. AND TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO GET THE CAR IN A POSITION ENOUGH TO TURN INTO THE DRIVE. I HAD A CAR SHOP CHECK TO POWER STEERING FLUIS AND THERE WAS ENOUGH. THEY ADVISED I COME BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO CLOSE SO THEY COULD CHECK FURTHER UNDER THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2017 TRAVERSE, BOUGHT IT WITH JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES ON IT BACK IN 2017. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE CAR WOULD DIE ALMOST EVERY DAY. FINALLY GOT THAT ISSUE FIXED. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE WASHER FLUID STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID IT HAD A HOLE IN IT. I HAD IT REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER MY ENGINE STARTS MAKING A REALLY LOUD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD GET SO TIGHT WHEN I TURNED IT, THAT I COULDN'T TURN. I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD IT HAD A HOLE IN THE STEERING PUMP AND A PIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE PUMP. I HAD THAT REPLACED. A FEW WEEKS LATER I'M GETTING GAS AND TRY TO START MY CAR AND IT STALLS. I TRY TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTS, BUT IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE STAYS ON E, EVEN THOUGH I JUST FILLED MY TANK UP. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW AFTER GETTING GAS. MY STEERING HAS STARTING MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN I TURN IT. MY ENGINE IS SO LOUD WHEN I'M DRIVING, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT A NORMAL SOUND. WHEN MY CAR SITS IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE IN YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE WHISTLING AND REVVING UP ON ITS OWN, AND THEN IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO DIE.

SOMETIMES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A START THERE IS A SHUDDER FROM THE TRANSFER CASE AREA OR THE REAR END LIKE THE GEARS AREN'T MATCHING UP AND ARE GRINDING BEFORE THEY FULLY ENGAGE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES AFTER THE CAR SHIFTS FROM1ST TO 2ND AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE COMING TO A STOP AND THE LIGHT GOES GREEN AND YOU GIVE IT SOME GAS TO START THROUGH THE LIGHT OR YOU MAKE A TURN AND GIVE IT GAS TO GET UP TO SPEED AFTER YOUR TURN. THE CAR IS ALL WHEEL DRIVE. WE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A GOOD MONTH, THEY REPLACED REAR END AND CLUTCH PARTS ON THE TRANSFER AREA AND OTHER THINGS. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS THEY ALSO REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT DIDN'T TAKE ALL THE INFORMATION IT SHOULD HAVE. ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS YOU KNOW OFF WHAT DO WE DO? THIS HAS HAPPENED A YEAR AGO AND IS HAPPENING NOW
