• 12/30/2017· VISIBILITY/WIPER

  VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN MONTANA, ONE OF THE STATES LISTED IN RECALL #12V151000, RE: WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOMING INOPERABLE IN COLD WEATHER. CHECK SHOWS MY VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL, BUT MY PROBLEM MATCHES IT EXACTLY. CONDITIONS, -12DEG AND LIGHT SNOW. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDLING ABOUT 10 MIN WITH DEFROSTER ON. I BRUSHED OFF WINDSHIELD AND CLEARED COME ICE THAT HAD COLLECTED ON THE WIPER BLADES AND AT THE BASE OF THE WIPER ARMS. WHEN I GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE WIPERS, THE ARMS WOULD NOT MOVE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED 6 MONTHS AGO, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. I BELIEVE THE ONLY PRIOR OWNER WAS ALSO IN MONTANA.

• 12/30/2014· STEERING

  ON 24 DEC 2014 AT AROUND 11:45AM, I WAS PULLING OFF A MAIN ROAD (WITH MY YOUNG DAUGHTER) INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY DOCTOR'S BUSINESS, WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS STILL IN MOTION. AFTER BRAKING, I WAS ABLE TO JIGGLE THE STEERING WHEEL FREE AND PULLED THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. AS IT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE, THEY WERE CLOSING WITHIN MINUTES AND I WAS TOLD TO BRING IN THE CAR ON FRIDAY, DEC 26TH..WHICH I DID. AFTER AN ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT "COULD NOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINT OF LOSS OF POWER STEERING", I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO FOR ME UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AND WITH MORE REGULARITY. THE SERVICE REPS DID SHARE THAT THERE HAS BEEN REPORTED INCIDENTS WITH THE TRAVERSE REGARDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BUT NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS SHARED WITH ME. UPON DRIVING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP, I PROMPTLY CONTACTED GM WHO OPENED UP A CASE REPORT. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT GM AND THE DEALERSHIP CONDUCT A MORE THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS OF THE STEERING SYSTEM AS I DEEM THIS INCIDENT MORE THAN JUST A "RANDOM" INCIDENT. THIS IS RATHER ALARMING AND I AND MY DAUGHTER ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN MINUTES BEFORE WHEN WE WERE ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR NOW AND FEEL IT NECESSARY TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO NHTSA IN THE EVENT OTHER 2012 TRAVERSE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME. THANK YOU. *JS

  THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN A RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU BUT SITTING IDLE. THEN SEVERAL CODES FLASHED ON MY DASH ABOUT TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK AND LIMP MODE AND IT STARTED TO STINK. WE TOWED IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT TELL WHAT CODE WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE SO HE CLEARED THE CODES AND IT RAN FINE AFTER THAT. AFTER A COUPLE ADDITIONAL TRIPS TO THE MECHANIC, WE DID HAVE A COUPLE ISSUES SEEMINGLY RELATED AND HE ENDED UP REPLACING A COIL AND ALL THE SPARK PLUGS. NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING UP THE ROAD TO OUR HOUSE AND JUST BEFORE TURNING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY, THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES CAME UP ON THE DASH. SHE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND CALLED ME. WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED THE CAR AND GOT THE SAME RESULTS. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THE CAR DID NOT START. AFTER IT ARRIVED AT OUR MECHANIC, HE COULD NOT START IT, AND HE COULD ONLY READ ONE CODE AND IT SAID NONDEFINING CODE AND HE COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HE THEN CLEARED THE CODE AND IT IS RUNNING FINE AGAIN. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND SHE WILL BE SERIOUSLY HURT. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND CANNOT BELIEVE A RECALL HAS NOT HAPPENED. JUST LOOK AT THIS: [XXX] I AM NOT SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN FOR A NON CHEVY VEHICLE. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

  THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED TWICE. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, A LOUD CLUNK WAS HEARD, THE VEHICLE JERKED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, CHECK STABILITRAX AND TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGES APPEARED AND STABILITRAX DISABLED, SPEEDOMETER REMAINED FROZEN AT SPEED THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. WHILE DRIVING TO SAFE LOCATION TO STOP, VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE STUCK IN A SPECIFIC GEAR THAT IS LOWER THAN NORMAL FOR FREEWAY DRIVING, RPMS WERE MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDSTILL, VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE NO POWER (PROBABLY DUE TO ACCELERATING FROM 0 MPH IN A HIGHER GEAR). I TOOK VEHICLE TO BOWMAN CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER FOR ATTENTION AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT THOUGH THEY DID STATE THAT THEY SEE ERROR CODES IN THE SYSTEM FOR LOSS OF COMMUNICATION. AFTER TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING FOR UP TO 2 WEEKS, SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR BUT DURING THEIR TESTING THEY FOUND THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ASSISTANT MANAGER OF THE SERVICE CENTER STATES THAT A BATTERY REPLACEMENT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I MADE A CASE (#[XXX]) WITH CHEVROLET BUT THE ADVISER RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT WAS FALSE AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER HE COULD DO. THE INFORMATION HE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER IS THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR ME TO AUTHORIZE CHARGES FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS. I DID AUTHORIZE BOWMAN CHEVROLET TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. MY CONCERN IS THAT I AM NOW TAKING BACK A CAR THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND ALLOWING MY WIFE TO DRIVE, AND DAUGHTER TO RIDE IN, THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS A KNOWN ISSUE. LUCKILY FOR US THE ISSUE OCCURRED AT NIGHT WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROADS BUT IF IT OCCURRED DURING RUSH HOUR IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

• 12/16/2019· ENGINE

  MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT LOST SIGNIFICANT POWER AND STARTED RATTLING VIOLENTLY. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A BUSINESS PARKING LOT. STABILITRAK SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IT STARTED BACK UP WITH LESS VIOLENT SHAKING BUT STILL WITH REDUCED POWER, SHE WAS ABLE TO 'LIMP' TO THE PELLEGRINO DEALERSHIP IN WILLIAMSTOWN, NJ. IT HAD FAULT CODES P0300 AND P0303 FOR RANDOM ENGINE MISFIRE AND CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE. THEY DIAGNOSED AS "MINIMALLY NEEDING CYLINDER #3 FUEL INJECTOR PLUS ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS AFTERWARDS TO DETERMINE FULL EXTENT OF ISSUE" FIRST THRESHOLD WOULD BE $1500 AND POSSIBLY SEVERAL THOUSAND POSSIBLY INCLUDING AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THEY OFFERED $2000 TRADE-IN TOWARD ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE. WITH HARDLY ANY DIAGNOSTICS, I WAS SURPRISED OF 'POSSIBLE ENGINE REPLACEMENT' DIAGNOSIS, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER SHOP TO DO THE FUEL INJECTOR REPLACEMENT PLUS CHECK PLUGS, COILS (ALL GOOD), CLEAN REMAINING FUEL INJECTORS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR A FRACTION OF WHAT THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED. CYLINDER COMPRESSION WAS GOOD, BUT THE SAME RANDOM MISFIRE P0300 CODE AND P0303 CODES STILL COME UP AND IDLES VERY ROUGH WITH ENGINE NOISE AND SIGNIFICANT REDUCED POWER. CLEARLY, THE INJECTOR WAS NOT THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. IF FUEL IS GIVEN MORE AGGRESSIVELY, ALL THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS COME BACK UP. IN DOING ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ONLINE, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. OIL CHANGES WERE PERFORMED ROUTINELY AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE WE HAD A "LUBE FOR LIFE" CONTRACT. MILEAGE IS 116,640.

• 11/24/2024· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  When driving the vehicle it will lose power and flash service stabilitrack and low engine mode enabled without warning. This has happened many times since 2016. When the conditions cannot be replicated gm/chevrolet has not been concerned but to refer to dealership. The dealership replaced ECM due to warranty conditions. Issue with emissions and electrical modules continued to cause intermittent power loss. Corrosion was found in the internal fuse box due to poor sun roof drainage emptying into glovebox and onto internal fuse box. GM and Chevrolet describes this as a known issue but insists my VIN is not affected. The issues continued to persist leading to frequent battery replacement that was ultimately due to contamination of electrical components. Fuel system parts were all assumed faulty only to find it was ultimately the fuel control module, another electronic component listed faulty but GM/ Chevrolet assumes my VIN is not affected. This car was purchased to be a family vehicle, but had proven to be an unreliable death trap. The first incident that caused concern was 2/14/2017 on the highway with speeds up to 70mph. Thankfully, that day was full of heavy traffic that did not allow drivers to reach high speeds. If I had been going that fast when the engine lost power I can only imagine what that would have meant for me and my family. I know I am not the only owner of a Chevrolet traverse with these concerning issues. I find it irresponsible for GM/Chevrolet/Buick to mass produce vehicles with these issues and fail to acknowledge the hazard they represent. Knowing they have produced a lemon that cost the sticker price, repair cost, and potentially human lives and failing to remedy the issue astounds me. I urge you to please investigate this concern.

• 11/23/2018· STEERING

  WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN TURNING. THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD THE PROPER AMOUNT OF FLUID AND THE THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. THE RACK AND PINION HAD TOTAL FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. WE HAD THE PUMP REPLACED ONCE BEFORE AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. ON THE 2ND REPLACEMENT, THE DEALER CHANGED THE PUMP NUMBER TO THE 'UPGRADED PART' THEY ALSO SAID, 'GM KNOWS ABOUT THE FAULTY PUMPS AND ARE REPLACING THEM WITH THIS NEWER PART.' THE DEALER REPORTED TO US THAT THE PUMP NEEDED REPLACED BECAUSE IF IT WASN'T, THE PUMP WOULD GO OUT DUE TO THE DAMAGE IT SUSTAINED. SO, WE DID THAT WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FROM GM AS WELL IN A PHONE CALL.

SHE WAS VERY FRANTIC WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR. DROVE IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO TOLD US IT'S A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR ISSUE GOING TO COST $400.

  MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO THE STORE WITH OUR TWO KIDS JUST TO GRAB SOME GROCERIES. WE LIVE LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM THE GROCERY STORE. ON OUR WAY HOME THE CAR STARTED SHAKING WHILE IDLING AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT ON US. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR DECIDED TO START SPUTTERING, SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THEN SHUT OFF. THANKFULLY ENOUGH WE WERE ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS THE CAR FINALLY STARTED BACK UP. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH. WE FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT SO WE SPENT THE $300 TO REPLACE THAT. ONCE THAT WAS REPLACED WE THOUGHT WE WERE IN THE CLEAR. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN EXCEPT I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING ABOUT 70-80 MPH. SAME THING, WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, COULDN'T GO ABOVE 40 MPH THIS TIME. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WE STARTED HAVING P0017, P0018, P0019 TROUBLE CODES POP UP. WE TRIED TO REPLACE THE SENSORS AND THEY WERE STILL POPPING UP. WE CLEARED THEM, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER THEY WOULD POP BACK UP AGAIN. THURSDAY THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE. IT WAS RUNNING GREAT, NO SHAKING, WASN'T ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT WE ARE NOW TO THE POINT THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE, AND WE HAVE TWO KIDS AND JOBS TO GET TO. WE ARE TIRED OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THIS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. MY PARENTS OWNED THIS CAR BEFORE WE DID. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS. I FIND IT PRETTY CONVENIENT THAT EVERYTHING STARTS TO GO DOWNHILL AFTER WARRANTY DATES ARE UP OR AFTER YOU HIT A CERTAIN MILEAGE. AND WITH THE STRIKE THAT JUST HAPPENED, GM ISN'T WANTING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FEAR OF LOSING MONEY YET AGAIN. ISSUE A RECALL OR YOU WILL END UP WITH LAWSUITS. EITHER WAY YOU WILL LOSE MONEY. SAVE SOME LIVES.

THE VERY NEXT MORNING THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T START SO I GOT SOMEONE TO JUMP ME OFF. IT CRANKED WITH NO ISSUE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 35MPH. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO TURN AROUND AND GO HOME AND MY CAR WOULD ONLY REVERSE AND WOULD NO LONGER MOVE IN THE DRIVE SELECTION. IN NEUTRAL THE CAR LOCKED UP AND WOULDN'T DRIVE. I EVENTUALLY DROVE IN REVERSE ILLEGALLY DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I ENVENTUALLT MADE IT HOME AND LET MY CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR WHILE CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE. WHEN I WENT BACK TO RESTART THE CAR IS ACTING AS IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD. THIS WAS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS WITH 4 CHILDREN INSIDE BUT UNSAFE TO BE STUCK IN TRAFFIC WILL NO WAY TO ACCELERATE IN DRIVE. MY CAR WILL NO LONGER CRANK WITHOUT A JUMP I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT HE COULDN'T SEE THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED THAT I SIMPLY TRADE IT IN WHICH ISN'T AN OPTION CURRENTLY.

• 11/10/2021· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  UNKNOWN, I first bought my Chevy Traverse Ltz in April of 2020, and about 2 weeks of driving it, I noticed that all(4)of my wheels/brakes instantly locked up while driving in traffic, almost causing a pile-up collision. The rotors and brakes releases alot of smoke as the wheels scrub and the suv doesn't move forward nor backward. I reported it to the car lot/dealership where i purchased it from and was told to take it to a certain auto shop. I arrived there, just to be told that he doesn't fix those type of problems. The dealership where i bought it from didn't look at it either. So, from that time til now in 2021, I have been dealing with the same exact problems being terrified with my children in the car, not knowing if/when the next time the wheels lock up for no reason, if it will be fatal for me and my children or other drivers. I've contacted GM about it, taken it to Chevy dealership a few times, even a couple of auto shops, and no one seems to know what the problem is. I recently had the transmission serviced to see if that was the issue and turns out, it wasn't. I don't know what to do, I am still financing it and the warranty only covers the transmission and engine, half the cost of the repair and the other half is my responsibility it states. I've been trying to prevent any fatal accidents best I can, sometimes by not driving it at all and having to ride with family members and friends. I was recently told by my warranty company that there is pretty much nothing they can do about it.

I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THE MEDIA AND TO THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS HERE WHERE I LIVE IN GWINNETT COUNTY GEORGIA.

  HARD TO STEER AT LOWER SPEED (WHEN PARKING OR COMING OUT OF PARKING, WHEN TURNING) IN ONE OCCASION I DID HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WILE TURNING TO MY RIGHT, LUCKILY THERE WERE NOT SERIOUS DAMAGES AND NO INJURIES TO ANY OF THE PARTIES INVOLVED. I CAN BARELY TURN AT LOWER SPEED, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE RACK AND PINION AS WELL. CANNOT AFFORD OVER $3,000.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CHEVY OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

  THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED 10/11/17 ON I-40. MY CAR STARTED "JERKING" AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DECELERATED TO APPROX 35 MPH. THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. A NTFCN CAME ON THAT ALL OF MY ASSISTS WERE OFF (PARKING, ALL WHEEL DRIVE, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRACK). A NTC ALSO APPEARED THAT SAID TO SERVICE STABILITRAK. WHEN I GO TO PRESS MY BRAKE THERE IS A NOISE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT "JUMPS" WHEN I GO TO PRESS IT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT AND HAD IT PUT ON THE COMPUTER BUT NO CODES APPEAR SAYING THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAY THE SENSORS ARE FINE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. I AM TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. NO DEALER IS GOING TO TAKE A FAULTY CAR AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY OWNERS HAVING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND A RESOLUTION FOR THEIR PROBLEM WHICH LEAVES ME VERY DISHEARTENED. NOW I AM STUCK IN A CAR THAT CAN'T BE FIXED AND I HAVE A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

  THE VEHICLE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES YOU ALSO HEAR A CRUNCHING SOUND FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP YOU ALSO FEEL THE CAR JERKING. THE CAR HAS THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COME ON AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT ALSO SAYS YOU HAVE LOST TRACTION FOR THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR FEELS LIKE ITS GLIDING AND HAS DIFFICULTY STOPPING. THE ENGINE IN MY CAR HAS A NOISE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. AT TIMES YOU CAN EVEN HEAR THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING WITH YOUR WINDOWS UP. *TR
