2018 Chevrolet Traverse

AS I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO TO TURN GREEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATED AND THE VECHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND LERCH FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ADVANCE ALMOST AS AS IT WAS LOSING POWER OR NOT RESPODING TO THE GAS PEDAL. VERY SCARY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN SEVERAL TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOW REPAIR YET ISSUED BY GM. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN SEPT 2018 AND STARTED HAVING ISSUED JUST MONTHS AFTER. THIS IS SCARY AND UNSAFE.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRAVERSE TODAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT TWICE, THEN WHILE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE SUICIDE LANE ON A 4 LANE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OVER REV RED LINING AS IF IT COULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE WITH 16,000 MILES ON IT. ON ARRIVAL AT DEALERSHIP I INQUIRED IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAD TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL AND MAKE CARS THAT HAD REPAIRS COMPLETED DUE TO A STRIKINGLY SIMILAR ISSUE. I'M REQUESTING THIS BE REVIEWED OR INVESTIGATED AS THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS ON FORUMS ACROSS THE INTERNET OF OTHER 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE BETWEEN 10,000 AND 20,000 MILES MEANING IT MAY BE A LARGER SCALE ISSUE THE CONSUMERS ARE FACING AND THE MANUFACTURER IS PUTTING US AT UNDO RISK BY NOT ISSUING A RECALL OR NOTICE REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION MANY OF US SPENT $45,000 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.

WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT LEVEL SURFACE THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. I PULLED OVER SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE NEXT DAY AFTER PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST. I TRIED PUTTING IT IN L AND MANUALLY SHIFTING AND IT STILL WOULDN'T LEAVE 1ST. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE AS IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING. IT JERKS THE VEHICLE AND IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER EXPERIENCES THIS IT WILL BE FATAL.

SPORADIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE. DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE A SUDDEN JERK OF THE TRANSMISSION OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS IN TRANSIT. I AM FORCE TO PULL OVER AND STOP VEHICLE IN ORDER TO PROCEDURE. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 7 MONTHS. DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT GM REPORTED THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME.

WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE DRIVE "D" INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD FLASH. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE AND ON MORE THEN 1 OCCASION, THE CAR JERKED FORWARD. SOME OCCASIONS I WOULD HAVE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AROUND A DOZEN TIMES TRYING TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH NO LUCK. DEALER BELIEVES THEY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY HARD CODES WITH THE OBD2 TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE REPAIRS.

STARTED SUV THEN NOTICED CHECK ENGINE CAME ON ONCE DRIVING. WENT DOWN A MAJOR ROAD AND NOTICED THE SUV WAS LOSING POWER AND WASN'T SHIFTING PROPERLY. HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO TURN AROUND TO GET BACK TO MY HOUSE. ONCE I GOT IT TO A SAFE SPOT I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO PROPERLY PARK IT. THEN THE SUV JERKED FORWARD IN A SUDDEN AMD HARD FASHION AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.
