2019 Chevrolet Traverse

BOTH REAR TOE LINKS WERE CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 38,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE HAD SEEN IT IN THE EQUINOX AS WELL. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND INJURY BY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VEER UNCONTROLLABLY DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR SEVERAL GM VEHICLES. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2019 TRAVERSE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TOE LINKS AND THE COST OF THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT THAT IS REQUIRED SHOULD BE COVERED. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/01/gm-expands-chevy-malibu-buick-regal-and-lacrosse-toe-link-recall/ https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2021/RCSB-21V633-9123.pdf

Driving through Arizona desert and California desert, air conditioning went out. On Monday, contacted Mission Bay Chevrolet to get AC repaired. Dealership and service rep were excellent but this AC should not have failed at 39,151 miles. Diagnosis showed that Compressor clutch pulley melted freezing the compressor. I can only thank God that I had an extended warranty.

When car is shifted into park, there is an error saying that the vehicle is not in Park and the lights and warning chime turns on. It happens 90% of the time. I can move the shifter back and forth and some times it will stop and work properly. I can also try to move the shifter while in park without moving into another gear and that might work but it may take 5 -10 tries. Do a google search and you'll find lots of threads on bad Gen 2 shifters for this year and Make/Model. No warnings prior to malfunctioning. Shift to Park Issue with warning light and message error - shift to park.

About one month ago, I began receiving a "Shift to Park" message in error when powering off my car and in park. There is no way to override the message, during which the car remains on and there is a loud beeping noise. I have to power the car back on and manipulate the sensors to make the "Shift to Park" message go away - and this doesn't always work or takes several times. In addition to the obvious concern, I'm also concerned about my car's battery every time this happens. I have young children and am afraid to drive my car right now because of this issue. We bought out our lease in May and our Warranty expired about three months ago and Chevy is refusing to fix the defected part. Chevy is aware of this problem in older and other 2019 vehicles, they have yet to recall the 2019 Traverse. I took my car to a local mechanic to replace the faulty wire, with the same wire which will likely cause the same issue in a matter of time. Consumers should not be responsible for unethical practices. Please hold Chevy accountable for their poor choices!

The vehicle gives a message of "Shift to park" but the vehicle is in park. This is a safety issue and could cause harm to somebody if the vehicle does not think it's in park and start's rolling. It also doesn't let the vehicle shut completely off because it thinks its still in drive! There are alot of forums and complaints on this issue. Local dealership states yes we have heard of this issue BUT "It's not on a recall list yet and also not covered under warranty" This should be a recall and fixed by Chevrolet without charging customers $400-$1,000 to fix a BIG issue with numerous vehicles. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE
