2022 Chevrolet Traverse

The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while shifting the transmission into park (P), the vehicle failed to park. The "Shift to Park" message was displayed. Additionally, the vehicle inadvertently and aggressively lunged backward while stopped. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the transmission was replaced and repairs were performed on the exhaust system; however, the failure recurred with the vehicle making an abnormal sound while driving. Additionally, the contact stated that her daughter suffered shortness of breath and dizziness while asleep inside the vehicle, which she later received medical attention for. Upon inspection, the contact noticed there was a leak in the exhaust system. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the exhaust pipe had a leak and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

On multiple occasions the vehicle will not turn off due to the shift to park preventing the engine from turning off. If the operator is in a garage and needs to turn the engine off this will prevent the operator from turning it off and could cause injury or death due to vehicle exhaust. I currently have it at the Chevy dealership for warranty repair but I’m not sure if they will cover it.

Automobile less than 1 year old w/ less than 14,000 miles has had the following service issues. Transmission Failure 06/28/2023 - Replacement of entire valve body Transmission Failure 07/06/2023 - Dealership claims entire transmission to be replaced. Mileage between failures was 334. No Accident or injury, but when a transmission fails with a family of 5 in the car, it is unsettling and unacceptable for a vehicle that is less than 1 year old w/ very low miles.

Vehicle has been owned for 15 months. This vehicle has been to Chevrolet dealer for the same problem over 7 times. Radio and instrument cluster has turned off and screen has stayed black. I’m august it made vehicle unsafe to drive and operate and had to be towed. Dealer replaced radio screen twice and problem still persists. Cruises control becomes unavailable at random times and won’t function until you power cycle vehicle. Phone and radio will not pair or function together at random times. Pedestrian warning would randomly brake vehicle when driving and no obstacles nor pedestrians were near by. Was almost involved in a collision due to this. Chevrolet dealer has been unable to diagnose electrical problem even after changing radio twice, amplifier once due to it having overheated and burned out, pedestrian module once. Continue to have same problems.current odometer reading is at 37,200

Driving home tonight there was a car in front of me so my low beams were on. I saw a deer approaching from the right side of the roadway while at the same time dropping down into a small dip in the road and because the headlights are so low I lost sight of the deer as it was then in the shadows with no illumination because the headlights were now facing further downward. I had to turn my high beams on coming to a complete stop to then see the deer to avoid hitting it. This is very unsafe. Small hills and dips cause you to lose sight of the road up ahead at night.
