  Vehicle recall in May 2023 for 2016 Chevrolet Traverse (GM recall # N232404980 - NHTSA 23V334) for exploding driver airbag inflator causing metal shrapnel to fly into the cabin. Letters from General Motors should have been sent by June 26, 2023. To date I have not received a letter or instructions on how to remedy situation. Multiple local Chevrolet dealerships have been contacted (Stonebriar Chevrolet, Frisco, Texas and Classic Chevrolet, Grapevine, Texas), both dealerships have stated that General Motors has not created a fix for this dangerous issue to date. Public records also indicate a repair has not been created.

• 12/20/2019· SEAT BELTS

  I GOT INTO MY CAR, SPECIFICALLY IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER. I ALWAYS SIT HERE, BECAUSE I HAVE TO CARE FOR MY 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND MY 4 YEAR OLD SON. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE BUSY LANES OF CALIFORNIA, MY SEATBELT CLIPS OFF THE LATCH. AT THIS POINT WE'RE ABOUT 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME, AND THERE'S HEAVY TRAFFIC. I TRY MULTIPLE TIMES TO PUT THE SEATBELT BACK INTO ITS PLACE BUT IT WILL NOT CLIP ON. I CANNOT HOP TO THE FRONT SEAT OR JUMP OVER TO THE BACK DUE TO HAVING OUR SEATS DOWN FOR EXTRA SPACE FOR ITEMS THAT WE HAD BOUGHT. ASIDE FROM THIS, WE'RE STUCK IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. NOTHING DIFFERENTLY WAS DONE THIS DAY. THERE WAS NO PULLING OR PLAYING AROUND WITH THE SEATBELT, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING ON ITS OWN. I WAS SCARED FOR MY SAFETY. ASIDE FROM MY SAFETY BEING AT RISK, I GOT HAVE GOTTEN IN TROUBLE WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR NOT WEARING A SEATBELT. I'M WRITING THIS TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT SEATBELT NEED TO BE CHECKED AND TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. THE SEATBELT ON A CAR SEAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO CLIP OFF, AND A CAR SEAT COULD HAVE FLIPPED OVER CAUSING INJURIES OR A SCARED ON A MINOR. THIS HAS TO BE TAKEN IN CONSIDERATION AND VERY SERIOUS. A SEATBELT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND MANDATORY.

• 12/09/2019· STEERING

  I PURCHASED A 2016 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT HAS APPROX. 80K MILES THAT ARE MOSTLY "HIGHWAY MILES". I BROUGHT MY TRAVERSE INTO THE DEALER ON 12-9-19 FOR A BRAKE SERVICE AND ASK THAT THEY CHECK THE POWER STEERING WHICH HAS BEEN MAKING "WINDING" NOISES DURING VARIOUS TURNING RADIUSES. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP OF A TSB REGARDING THE POWERING STEERING PUMP/LINE. APPARENTLY DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW BY GM, THE POWER STEERING HOSE AND A/C TOUCH AND DURING THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, RUB EACH OTHER. THIS IS KNOWN TO PRODUCE A HOLE IN THE POWER STEERING LINE CAUSING THE POWER STEERING FLUID TO LEAK. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO FAIL. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN FLAW, SIMPLY REPLACING THE HOSE WON'T ULTIMATELY FIX THE ISSUE. FURTHERMORE. IF THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILS WHILE A DRIVER IS MAKING STEERING INPUTS, IT CREATES A HIGH PROBABLY THAT A CRASH CAN OCCUR RESULTING IN SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. I SPOKE TO GM CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 12-9-19 AND WAS TOLD, THEY DO NOT SHOW TO HAVE A FIX AND BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE, THEY DO NOT PLAN TO ADDRESS IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LIVES IT TAKES TO INITIATE A RECALL, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT AS A GOVERNING AGENCY, YOU WOULD NOT TAKE THIS ISSUE LIGHTLY.

  THE CENTER CONSULE HAS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT BROKE OFF AND IT KEEPS POPPING UP AS I AM DRIVING. IT HAPPPEND TWO DAYS AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND INTERFERRED WITH MY DRIVING WHEN I TURNED AND IT HIT MY ARM AND IT ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH I AM CAREFUL, ITS STILL KEEPS POPPING UP AND INTERFEERING WITH MY DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IF I CAME IN 1 MONTH AGO, IT WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN COVERED ON MY 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUMPER TO BUMPER. I BELIEVE THIS HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL FOR IT TO BREAK IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND I DO NOT USE THE CENTER CONSULE MUCH.

• 11/25/2021· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Vehicle has had 3 separate occurrences - January, October and November of 2021 - the vehicle suddenly losing its "power" by not accelerating over 40 mph, hard shifting to where it jerked uncontrollably. The dash board message center would say "service stabilitrak" "service traction control" "traction control off". The orange traction control light was also Illuminated on the dashboard. No check engine light was presented, and no codes were stored in the computer. 1s occurrence dealership changed battery, 2nd occurrence could not find an issue, customer refused vehicle back so dealership cleaned ABS tone rings. On all occurrences the customer was close to being rear ended on the major interstate due to losing sudden power. Dealerships are only able to "guess" on repair, due to no codes being stored in the computer. Many complaints for the same issue can be found in a Traverse Facebook group, on Google, and many other personal Traverse owners. There needs to be an open recall and investigation with this issue. None of these fixes are covered under the warranties, and customers must pay out of pocket as the dealership has it coded under "maintenance".

WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE MODULE HAD A SMALL SPACE THAT CONDENSATION COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN AND THE MODULE ACTUALLY ENDED UP BULGING. WHEN ASKED IF IT COULD BE REPLACED, THEY SAID THAT THE SPECIFIC PIECE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IS NOT MADE BY GM ANY LONGER AND I WOULD NEED TO CONTACT GM, BUT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A RECALL AT A LATER TIME. THE NOTIFICATION INSIDE THE CAR WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CHECKED ALL SETTINGS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING WAS HIT BY ACCIDENT. EVERYTHING WAS THE WAY IT NEEDED TO BE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN THAT VERY NEXT WEEK TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE PIECE (WRITTEN ABOVE). SO I HAVE NO SIDE DETECTION ON A VEHICLE I JUST PURCHASED IN FEB 2019.
