2018 Chevrolet Traverse

I HAVE STARTED GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE SHIFT TO PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PARK MODE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE THE ERROR IS PRESENT THE ISSUE OCCURS ON ALL SURFACES (FLAT AND SLOPED SURFACES ). THE ISSUE IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND AFTER RESEARCH APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION - WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE TRANSMISSION SHUTTER, JERKING, WILL NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. YOU CAN FEEL IT NOW UNTIL SPEEDS OF 55 MPH. SITTING A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL ENGAGE SPEED ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING START WILL NOT ENGAGE. STOP ENGINE GOES TO AUTO-STOP. ON DASH START ENGINE. MAJOR PROBLEMS. ALREADY HAD ECM REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES.

STARTED GETTING A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, EVEN TOUGH THE GEAR SHIFTER SHOWED BEING IN PARK. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE MOTOR WOULD TURN OFF, BUT THE ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR WOULD REMAIN ON. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS VEHICLE USES A SMART KEY WITH PUSH BUTTON IGNITION AND DOOR LOCKS. IF THE BATTERY GOES DEAD, YOU HAVE TO BREAK INTO THE VEHICLE. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE TRAVERSE. THE SHOP FOREMAN AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THE GEAR SHIFTER (ALSO ELECTRIC) HAD FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET.

ON OCTOBER 1, 2018 I PURCHASED A NEW TRAVERSE FROM KELLEY CHEVROLET OF FORT WAYNE INDIANA. MY QUESTION IS CAN THE AUTO STOP ON MY NEW 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE BE DISABLED. I JUST HAD A CLOSE CALL INVOLVING THE AUTO STOP. I WAS IN BRANSON MO ON VACATION AND THIS PLACE IS BUILT ON HILLS AND MORE HILLS. I HAD COME TO A STOP ON A HILLSIDE AND THE CAR WENT TO AUTO STOP. WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SO AUTO STOP WOULD NOT BE ENGAGED THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING OF THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD ' THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING TOWARD A VERY STEEP HILL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WITH NO BRAKES I COULD NOT STOP. INSTEAD I PULLED HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND GOT IT CROSSWISE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK ME SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET THE ENGINE STARTED. AUTO STOP IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT AND THIS SCARED THE DICKENS OUT OF ME. CAN IT BE REPROGRAMMED TO NOT WORK?

MANY ISSUES FROM THE DAY THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. 1) NOTICED FRONT WINDSHIELD AND OR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAVING LOTS OF AIR NOISE COMING IN AND WIND CAN BE HEARD AS IM DRIVING. 2) THE AUTO START DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY WHEN GOING TURNS OFF AND ABOUT TO DRIVE OFF IT TUMBLES/SHAKES. 3) HEARING A NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT CAN BE HEARD ON THE INSIDE AS IM DRIVING. SORT OF A KNOCKING RATTLING SOUND.

MY 2018 CHEVY TRAVERSE HAVE AN ISSUE GOING IN PARK EVERY TIME I PUT IT IN PARK THE DASH INDICATES SHIFT TO PARK AND I CAN'T TURN THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF I CONTACT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER THAT THEY'LL REPLACE IT THIS PROBLEM IS REALLY ANNOYING AND I HAVE TO SIT THERE AND PLAY WITH THE SHIFTER UNTIL IT GOES OFF. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE.

RECEIVED MY VEHICLE DROVE IT TO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT START. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, DUE TO KEY FOB'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY WITH VEHICLE. THE KEY FOBS WERE BEING REPROGRAMMED WITH THE VEHICLE, WE WAITED 3 HOURS TO FIND THEY COULD NOT BE REPROGRAMMED AND HAD TO ORDER NEW ONES. WE WERE SENT HOME WITH A LOANER AND WAITED ANOTHER WEEK TO RECEIVE OUR VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WHEN IN VEHICLE IT WILL BEEP FOR NO REASON LIKE IT DOES WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE AND KEYS ARE LEFT IN IT.

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON A STEEP CITY STREET BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNING LEFT. VEHICLE WENT TO MOVE FORWARD AND TURN LEFT AND IT SHUT OFF AND ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE STEEP HILL. WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED, BRAKES COULD NOT BE PRESSED, WHEN GAS WAS PRESSED IT DID NOT GO FORWARD, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS IT WAS LIKE IT SHUT OFF AFTER BEING IN AUTO STOP MODE. PARKING BRAKE ASSIST CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND VEHICLE ROLLED INTO A CEMENT POLE. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE. HAD TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE, RESTART AND TRIED TO RELEASE PARKING BRAKE 5 MORE TIMES BEFORE IT RELEASED. THIS VEHICLE OFTEN ROLLS BACKWARDS AFTER BEING IN AUTO STOP MODE AND THE GAS NEEDS TO BE PUSHED HARD IN ORDER FOR IT TO GO FORWARD. THIS VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT SLOWS DOWN WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AT TIMES AND YOU NEED TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL HARDER. THE BRAKES SQUEAK OFTEN WHEN WET AND COLD AND SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE BRAKE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PUSH IT DOWN, YOU HAVE TO PUSH IT SEVERAL TIMES, LET UP AND PUSH IT AGAIN BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START.
