2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Engine Problems

White smoke was coming out the car and my car eventually sat on fire. I had to call the fire department.. fire department stated that it was a electrical issue

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle stopped abruptly. The check engine, traction control, stability control, and air conditioner warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly decelerated. The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who determined the failure was due to the throttle body. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The throttle body was previously replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Mileage: 120,000

The air conditioning stopped working after working amazing, Traction Control Disabled light keeps coming on, The RPM's would rev up seems like it gets stuck then drops to normal. stabilitrak messages with the ABS warning light lit up, Power steering (or power control) goes limp (at the worse times pulling out in traffic) It’s on issue after the other. Once I get one fixed another goes, then we’re back to the first one that was replaced that is now not working again. I still have a car payment so I’m without my car more than I’m driving it. I have to save up to get it fixed, and I won’t drive it until I know for sure it’s good. I was almost killed way to many times in it so to all the issues that GM knows about.

Traveling at 70 MPH on a highway Traction control/stabilitrac and engine turn on and acceleration stopped, car wont accelerate causing to cars behind me to start swirling around due to my car lost of acceleration, then pulled over to the shoulder thankfully with no accidents, then turn off car and turn on again and car worked normally for about 100 miles and it did it again.

The head front left head light has had to be replaced 3 times in 3 months same for the left turn signal. Another issue I have is each time I put gas in, the car gets stuck trying to turn over Until I pump the gas.

Vehicle died while taking off from the intersection. Leaving us stranded on a busy highway. Engine had sized but oil has been changed every 5k miles with synthetic. No warning light just shut off and wpuld not restart. With 6 kids in the car

I was driving down the freeway at about 67 MPH when the message "Traction Control Disabled" came on my display & the car immediately went into "limp mode"! By some miracle I was able to muscle the car out of the slow lane, onto the shoulder as I lost my power steering once in limp mode. I waited a few minutes, car started up just fine, so I shrugged it off. Fast forward 1 week later & the same thing happened to me on my way home on a curvy mountain road. The power steering was again non-existent & luckily, there was no one behind me, nor did anyone come around the corner & hit my disabled car. Once again, it started up, no problem; however, this is when the harsh forward thrust started happening, & the transmission seemed to be slipping gears. The RPM's would rev to the 6000 range & immediately fall down to 1500. I took it to the dealer & sadly paid $3,400 for a new tranny on a 5-year-old car. (No warranty, of course). I started having the same issues about 2 years later, only this time the driver was not so lucky as they were mid-curve on the mountain road. Right as the roadway came out of the bend, the car went into limp mode, power steering lost & wheels stuck in a right turn position, car went off the roadway & into a telephone pole, broke that in half due to the angle of the pole in the mountainside & down the steep embankment about 40-50 feet. All airbags deployed & driver was able to walk away (hike away) but the car was a total loss. Driver was traveling 40-45 mph. There was no indication, no warning, just from travel to nothing.

2012 chevy traverse. Feb 20 2020. Milage 127691 My valve cover gaskets failed causing the cabin to fill with smoke. Sept 11 2020 right front axel seal failed causing ptu to lose all the transfer case fluid and bearings. Transfer case replaced. Feb 22 2021 milage 141464 transmission slipping had new one installed. Jan 5 2022 milage 153350 had timing chains replaced. Check engine light came on. Back on june 29 2012 Chevrolet issued a bulletin No. 11340B special coverage adjustment timing chain wear. It is for 2007-2009 traverse acadia outlook enclave equipped with the same 3.6L Engine as my 2012 and other years. they extended warranty coverage for 10 years 120k miles. seeing this problem existed in 07-09 models this should be looked at and to include other years as well. I am a member of 2 facebook traverse groups and there are a lot of others with the same issue. The owners manual says to change engine oil every 5000 miles I have done that. Please look into adding additional years to this recall. Timing chains should not fail stretch or need replacing as much as I have seen others needing to. A vehicle should go well over 200k miles before needing replacing.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle took a long time to start-up. While driving approximately 20-40 MPH, the vehicle would not accelerate then shifted into limp mode. The ABS, check engine, traction control, and service air bags warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the wheel bearings were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 99,655.

Mileage: 99,655

I was driving to the store and my car dinged and a message saying something like service stabilitrack flashed. The car slowed and I pulled over and turned off the car. Eventually I turned the car on and it was back to normal speed but then it sputtered like it was out of gas. That was 2 months ago. I've had it in the shop 2 times and my husband has been trying to replace every part suggested by gm and any other mechanic. The car continues to misfire and turn of at times during driving. This feature makes this vehicle completely unsafe. Any vehicle that simply cuts power should not be on the road as it poses unnecessary risk. Please do something.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to three different independent mechanics and on all three occasions, it was diagnosed that the timing chain failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.

Mileage: 95,000

DASH IS THROWING DIFFERENT CODES SUCH AS SERVICE AND CHECK TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRACK, AIR BAG, AND AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT WILL SAY REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MY FOOT WOULD BE ON GAS NOT WANTING TO BARELY MOVE. ONE TIME I ALMOST GOT HIT. OTHER SEVERAL TIMES I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND WE WOULD HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY WAIT A LITTLE AND CAR WOULD BE OK AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAT IT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AND THANK GOD WE HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUES FOR THE 4TH TIME. CAR FEELS AT TIMES LIKE IT IS BOGGING WHEN ON GAS PEDDLE AS IF SOMETHING HAD A CLOG IN IT AND STARTS PULSATING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON.

Mileage: 165

MY MECHANIC REPLACED MY A/C REFRIGERANT HOSE DUE TO A LEAK AND MY A/C CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR. HE SAID THAT HE HAS REPLACED THE SAME PARTS ON A NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLES SIMILAR TO MY 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE. HE SAID THE DAMAGE TO THE A/C REFRIGERANT HOSE WAS DUE TO A BAD DESIGN WHERE A BRACKET IS LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO THE A/C REFRIGERANT HOSE.

Mileage: 82,675

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON HAD THE CODES CHECKED AND I HAD THE ENGINE TAKEN APART TWICE BECAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN HAD JUMPED CAUSING IT TO RUN ROUGH AND LIGHT CAME BACK HAD TO DO AGAIN AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE IS THE SAME AS THE ENCLAVE AND ACADIA WHICH BOTH HAVE HAD RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

WE PURCHASED A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE FROM RAY CHEVROLET IN FOX LAKE, ILLINOIS IN LATE FEBRUARY. WE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A VERY HIGH REPAIR COST THAT WE INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING REIMBURSED FOR ON CASE NUMBER [XXX]. WE ASKED FOR REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR IS COMMON TO THIS VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN # SB-10052863-8590 (12-06-01-009D DATED AUG/2013) SUBSTANTIATING THIS. WE WERE DENIED COVERAGE FROM GMC STATING THAT OUR VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE BULLETIN. OUR VEHICLE HAS THE SAME TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM AS THOSE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED, YET OUR VIN WAS EXCLUDED. WE BELIEVE THAT EITHER YOUR CONTAINMENT OF THE ISSUE WAS CONDUCTED IN ERROR LEAVING SOME VEHICLES LIKE OURS OUT OF THE SCOPE OF CONTAINMENT OR THAT VEHICLES ARE PURPOSELY LEFT OUT OF THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM TO CREATE A FALSE REPORTING AND AVOID RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. OUR CLAIM WAS ESCALATED TO A SENIOR ADVISOR AT GMC WHO AFTER A SHORT INVESTIGATION STATED THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ARE COVERED WITH. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! WE HAVE BEEN GMC CUSTOMERS FOR OVER 40 YEARS. WE ARE ASKING AGAIN FOR A REFUND OF THE REPAIR COSTS AS OUR VEHICLE HAS THE SAME TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE AN EQUITABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS, WE WILL BE SURE TO PUBLICIZE THE ACTUAL HAPPENINGS TO THE PUBLIC FOR ALL TO KNOW AND BE AWARE OF HOW GMC TREATS LONG TERM CUSTOMER LOYALTY.*DT SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

AT APPROXIMATELY 99,000 MILES, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON AN OUT OF STATE TRIP. AN AUTO STORE READ THE CODE AS TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED. AND STATED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED SOON. WE RETURNED HOME FROM OUR TRIP AND SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVED A WARNING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED." THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE QUICKLY. IN ATTEMPTING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR THE TRACTION CONTROL FUNCTION QUIT OPERATING.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS CAR CUTTING OUT/STALLING FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I KEEP TAKING IT IN TO MECHANICS TO GET IT FIXED AND IT SEEMS TO WORK THEN RANDOMLY LEAVES ME AND MY DAUGHTER STRANDED. SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL ONCE AND KEEP GOING... OTHER TIMES IT HAS TAKEN ME 3-4 HOURS TO GET HOME. I'VE HAD A MAJOR TUNE UP DONE, REPLACED THE FULE PUMP, FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, MAP SENSOR, PURGE VALVE CANISTER, CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, AND REPLACED RELAYS. IT HAS STALLED ON FREEWAYS, AND MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC LEAVING ME STUCK IN UNSAFE LOCATIONS. SIMILAR MODELS HAVE RECALLS BUT NOT MINE. GUESSING THEY PICK AND CHOOSE HOW MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO VIDEON CHEVROLET OF PHOENIXVILLE LOCATED AT (600 NUTT RD, PHOENIXVILLE, PA 19460) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

Mileage: 102,000

MY VEHICLE HAS 99,000 MILES ON IT AND IS OUTSIDE OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. MY TIMING CHAIN AND ACTUATORS ARE BEING REPLACED. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MY SPECIFIC MOTOR. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE TIME AND MILEAGE THAT IS RECOMMENDED. THE TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO NOT DRIVE CORRECTLY AND BOG DOWN AND NOT GET POWER WHEN APPLYING THE GAS. WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY I APPLIED THE GAS AND THE TRAVERSE SPUTTERED AND WOULD NOT GET UP TO SPEED TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 99,000

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF. WHEN THIS MESSAGE COMES ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION PANEL, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES APPEAR: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND SERVICE STABILITYTRAC SYSTEM. AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER YOU'RE DRIVING 5 MILES AN HOUR OR 55+ MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF THE TEMPERATURE IS UNDER 40 DEGREES, IT HAPPENS MORE TIMES THAN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS GREATER THAN 40 DEGREES. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE TEMPERATURE DIPS VERY LOW. I DRIVE A MINIMUM OF 300 MILES A DAY M-F AND THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OF MY RESOURCES. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL, IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND WAIT FOR 3-5 MINUTES. THIS WILL RESET THE TRACTION CONTROL BUT IT DOES NOT TURN OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

Mileage: 112,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ALSO EXPERIENCED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FROM A JUMP START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN MECHANICS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETERMINED A FAILURE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,200.

Mileage: 116,200

WHEN DRIVING CAR FORWARD ON ROADS AND WHEN BACKING UP THE CAR/ENGINE STUTTERS. WHEN IN REVERSE THE CAR HAS CUT OFF, WHEN DRIVING FORWARD THE ENGINE RATTLES WITH A 'TIN LIKE' SOUND. WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND IDLING, IT WILL CUT OFF AT TIMES. UPON RESTARTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM INITIALLY AND HAD TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT TO DETERMINE THE DIAGNOSIS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD NO LONGER FALL UNDER THE GM WARRANTY. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE AND HAVING MY CAR LOOKED AT BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

Mileage: 165,900

THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL. EATS OIL, TICKS AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. I DON'T HAVE 3K TO FIX MY CAR.

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES REDUCE SPEEDS ON ITS OWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL DROP TO 2ND GEAR. THE SEVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THE DASH WILL READ TRACTION CONTROL OFF. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL ALSO MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT ITSELF AND RETURN TO NORMAL DRIVING OR IT HAS TO BE TURNED OFF TO RESET. SOME FORUM USERS SUGGEST REPLACING THE THROTTLE DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP. THIS IS CAN CAUSE CONFUSION WITH A DRIVER WHICH MAY RESULT IN A COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (MIKE SAVOIE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 1900 W MAPLE RD, TROY, MI 48084 PHONE NUMBER 248-566-6523) WHERE THE TIMING CHAIN WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TWO YEARS THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SAME REPAIR WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

Mileage: 80,000

WHINING AND WINDING SOUND ON ACCELERATION AT ALL SPEEDS..RUMBLING NOISE FROM ENGINE. STRUT LEAKING AND FRONT SUSPENSION ISSUES. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER.

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.

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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE OF THE TRAVERSE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT BUT THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ON A 2 LANE ROAD THAT GETS A LOT OF FAST TRAFFIC AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY.CAR WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN BUT ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON.TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT LIT UP BRIEFLY A WEEK BEFORE THE INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF ENGINE SHUT OFF-THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY INDICATION. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED-SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NO ONE IS TAKING THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE ROAD! THIS IS SO CRAZY DANGEROUS-SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING TO GET THESE VEHICLES OFF OF THE ROAD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING BELT WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HARPEL BROTHERS (2305 EAST 10TH ST, GLENCOE, MINNESOTA 55336, 320-864-5181) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 102,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

Mileage: 102,000

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM THE EXIT THE SUV STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT WAS COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND TRIED RESTARTING IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK AND IT WAS READING EMPTY. TWO QUARTS OF OIL WAS ADDED AND IT STILL WOULDN'T START. THE SUV HAD BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 4K MILES SINCE PURCHASED WITH NO OIL CHANGE BUT AT NO POINT DID THE OIL LIGHT COME ON TO SAY IT WAS LOW. IT WAS TOWED TO RINCON CHEVY WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE AND ENGINE TO HAVE NO COMPRESSION. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED FROM, WALDORF HONDA, AND THEY CONTINUED TO SAY THE OIL NOT BEING CHANGED AT 3K MILES FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY CONTINUED TO IGNORE THE FACT THAT I CALLED THEM THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE THAT I NOTICED A HESITATION WHILE DRIVING. TOLD THEM A SECOND TIME IN PERSON ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. I HAVE READ OTHER INSTANCES ABOUT THESE SAME TYPES OF PROBLEMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE AS FOR RIDING IN THIS SUV WAS A MAN, AN EIGHT MONTH PREGNANT WOMAN, AND A THREE YEAR OLD CHILD THAT WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY WHERE SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY ARE STILL PUTTING ON THAT IT'S MY FAULT AND ARE SURPRISED THAT THE WARRANTY COMPANY IS OFFERING TO PAY ABOUT 30% OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. SAYING THAT REPLACING THE MOTOR IS THE ONLY OPTION AND ALSO THE ONLY WAY TO FIGURE OUT THE HESITATION ISSUE, A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

I AM ON MY 3RD ENGINE SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. SINCE DAY 1 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAC. RANDOMLY SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON FOR THOSE AS WELL AS REDUCED ENGINE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE HAS LOCKED UP ON ME TWICE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CAR IDLES OR I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT MY SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. MY TRANSMISSION IS NOW AN ISSUE. I HAVE SPENT OVER 15K ON REPAIRS FOR A VEHICLE I BOUGHT FOR 17K..I WAS LIED TO WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BEING TOLD I WAS THE 2ND OWNER INSTEAD OF THE 5TH. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS A CODE.

MY CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND STILL IS ONLY AT 70,000 MILES. PRIOR TO A 1000 MILE ROAD TIME WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN I WENT IN FOR A REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TO PREP FOR THE TRIP. AFTER GETTING BACK MY STRUTS WENT OUT, APPARENTLY A CHEVY DEFECT. AFTER PAYING UPWARDS OF $1,000.00 TO REPLACE AND CHECK EVERYTHING WE HEADED ON THE ROAD. NO LESS THAT 60 MILES FROM HOME, WHILE GOING 65 ON THE FREEWAY, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. POWER STEERING, AC, THE WHOLE THING JUST SHUT DOWN! WE BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY TO BE SAFE FROM THE TRAFFIC, AGAIN, MY CHILDREN ARE IN THIS CAR IN 90+ DEGREE WEATHER ON THE SIDE OF A FREEWAY! I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS AND FINDING OUT THAT CHEVY, AMERICAN MADE CRAP, HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE TO FAMILIES, PUTTING THEM AT RISK, LEAVING THEM STRANDED AND HAS NOT DONE ANY RECALLS ON THIS DANGEROUS MATTER. THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN, IT LOST POWER, IT LOST EVERYTHING AND WE WOULD HAVE BE SLAMMED BY MULTIPLE OTHER CARS IF MY HUSBAND DIDN'T MAKE A FAST MOVE OFF THE FREEWAY. HOW CAN A LONG TIME, AGAIN AMERICAN, CAR MANUFACTURER PRODUCE SUCH A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT CAN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO 100K MILES? SO NOW I AM PAYING ON A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WILL COST BECAUSE I HAVE TO TOW IT TO SOMEONE WHILE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. DO NOT BUY CHEVY!

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN WHILE EXITING A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP, AND OUR CHEVY TRAVERSE SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND I TEMPORARILY LOST POWER STEERING/CONTROL OF THE CAR, HAD NO ACCELERATION, AND ALL INSTRUMENTS WENT WONKY (TURNING ON/OFF, GOING BACK AND FORTH). I WAS FORCED TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP ONTO A DANGEROUSLY NARROW SHOULDER WITH MINIMAL ROOM, AND HAD TO COAST THE CAR TO THE END OF THE OFF-RAMP-- AND THEN WAS STUCK AT THE OFF RAMP AT A RED LIGHT IN RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AT THE SUGGESTION OF OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS EXITING OUR DRIVEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. WE HAD IT TOWED TO OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND AFTER 4 DAYS OF RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS AND TEST DRIVING IT, THEY FINALLY CONCLUDED IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION MODULE. WE NOW HAVE TO PAY $ 1,700.00 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR THE CAR, AS WERE ONE YEAR OVER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY (BUT ONLY 55K MILES ON THE CAR). AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, OUR TRAVERSE ONLY HAD APPROX. 57K MILES ON IT.

MY TRAVERSE CAME TO SUDDEN STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH NO WARNING. I HAD IT TOW TO A MECHANIC WHO FOUND THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. NO LIGHTS, NO NOISE, ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WAS CLEAR. TRAVERSE HAD 82K MILES. WITH RESEARCH AND TALKING TO MULTIPLE CHEVY DEALERSHIP MECHANICS, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM HAPPENING WITH TRAVERSE. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, LUCKY I WAS DRIVING ON A SIDE STREET GOING 25 MILES. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME!!! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED DEATH TO MY FAMILY!!! THIS IS A DEATH TRAP AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES UP TO AND INCLUDING DEATH! PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN LOOK DEEPER INTO THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SUDDENLY DRIVE ROUGH AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OR A BLOWN TIRE OR SOMETHING. I LOST POWER AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. THINGS BEGAN TO LIGHT UP ON MY DASH ABOUT THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM NEEDING SERVICING. THIS WAS TERRIFYING SINCE CARS WERE FLYING BY ME AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE EVEN ON LOCAL ROADS AT SLOWER SPEEDS SUCH AS 30MPH. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND FAMILIES ARE IN THESE VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE. I AM ALSO GETTING A CHECK ENGINE CODE FOR TIMING. MY VEHICLE IS JUST AT 70K MILES AND I USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER TO/FROM WORK AND PRIMARILY JUST IN MY TOWN. FURTHEST I DRIVE IS 20 MINUTES DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO A RELATIVE AND BACK. PLEASE FIX THIS WITH A RECALL! IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE! THE RECALL SHOULDN'T BE ISSUED ONCE THERE IS A TRAGIC DEATH, IT SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE!! I'VE ALREADY HAD TO DEAL WITH MY WIPE BLADES COMING OFF AND HITTING EACH OTHER BECAUSE THE BOLTS CAME LOOSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME IN HEAVY RAIN AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT! THIS STABILITRAK AND TIMING RECALL NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE AIRPORT AND ONCE TO MY WIFE ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK. BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AT 65+ MPH. DRIVING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN VIOLENT SHAKING, AND LOSS OF POWER. CANNOT STEER AT 65 MPH THAT IS LITERALLY DEADLY. SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAD A 6,4,AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED AS A RECALL IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. I WENT THROUGH 16 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON A CHEVROLET FORUM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE? FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT MAY NOT BE WORTH TAKING INTO A MECHANIC AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO NAIL DOWN THE ISSUE AND I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO POUR INTO A PROBLEM THAT DOESNT HAVE A SURE CURE. ABAOLUTELY RIDICULOUS TO BE DOING FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO STEER. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

I NOTICED THE CAR RUNNING A BIT ROUGHER THAN NORMAL AND ADVISED MY HUSBAND. THEN THE CAR TOOK A COUPLE ATTEMPTS TO START. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED THE ISSUE WITH AN OEM READER AND RECEIVED ERROR CODES THAT INDICATED IT MIGHT BE THE TIMING CHAIN. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO AGREED BUT ADVISED US THAT GM HAD A TIB WHICH EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH THEIR TIMING CHAINS. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GM DEALERSHIP. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS LOOSE AND ADVISED THAT IT DAMAGED THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $9000. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT, ALTHOUGH THE SAME ISSUE, THE TIB DID NOT APPLY TO OUR VIN. I HAVE CONTACT GM SEVERAL TIMES TO DISCUSS WHY THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH TRAVERSES FOR SEVERAL CONSECUTIVE MODEL YEARS, HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE AS THEIR CANNED ANSWER IS IT'S OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WE HAVE 107,000 MILES ON OUR VEHICLE AND WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR HAD WE BEEN AWARE OF THE CATASTROPHIC ISSUES WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. I HAVE BEEN ONLINE AND SEE SO MANY FAMILIES EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM GM. THEY OFFERED US $3000 TOWARDS A NEW CAR, HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO READILY ACCEPT A CAR PAYMENT. WE HAVE TWO SONS IN COLLEGE AND ARE NOT LOOKING AT HAVING TO GO INTO DEBT TO CORRECT A PROBLEM THAT WE DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE HAVING. THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED A 153 POINT INSPECTION ONLY 4 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AND THEY DID NOT REPORT ANY ISSUES TO US. WITH THE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS REPORTING THIS ISSUE, I HOPE THERE WILL BE AN INVESTIGATION AND COMPENSATION TO THOSE OF US WHO TRUSTED IN GM TO MANUFACTURER A CAR THAT WE COULD ENJOY AFTER IT WAS PAID FOR. WE PAID OUR FINAL PAYMENT IN NOVEMBER OF 2018.

I NEVER SEEN SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER... I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ARE MOSTLY WITH ME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY I LEFT THEM HOME THIS TIME. AND NO ONE GOT HURT. HOWEVER, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN...I STRONGLY BELIEVE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING RUSH HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. I WOULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS A.S.A.P.

THE VEHICLE HAS 86K MILES AND IS 6 YEARS OLD. OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE NOTICED A SIMILAR ISSUE AS OTHERS I HAVE READ ABOUT. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON....THE DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK....AND THE ENGINE ESSENTIALLY DECELERATES FROM 60+ DOWN TO 30-40 MPH QUICKLY. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE ARE GOING TO TRY THAT AND IF THAT WORKS, GREAT. IF IT DOESN'T, NOT GOING TO GET ANOTHER CHEVY. THIS IS DANGEROUS...AND COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

PROBLEM STARTED AT 48,000 MILES ENGINE MISFIRES, DROPS POWER WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, SERVICE AIRBAG, SERVICE STABILIZER WARNING MESSAGES COME UP ON DASHBOARD ALONG WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AND REDUCED POWER OCCURS. CHEVROLET AND SERVICE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND VEHICLE AND CANNOT FIND ISSUE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS THIS COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WHEN DROPPING TO TWO ENGINE CYLINDERS WHILE DRIVING

I BOUGHT THE CAR 12/2015. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED ON ME ON 1-95 WITH MY CHILDREN AND I, WE WERE TERRIFIED. DURING A SERVICE IN 2/2016, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A 20,000 MILE DISCREPANCY. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ENGINE BUT THE A/C WAS NOT COVERED IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY. SINCE THEN, I BOUGHT MY CAR TO AUTONATION IN APROX. 12 TIMES. LAST TIME, I BOUGHT THE CAR OVER IN MAY, I DROPPED IN OFF BECAUSE MY CAR WAS SHAKING, GAS WAS COMING OUT THE PIPE AND THEN IT STOPPED AND RECEIVED MY CAR BACK OVER 24 HOURS LATER. WHEN I PICKED MY CAR BACK, I RECEIVED A ESTIMATE OF ATLEAST $3,000 AND WAS TOLD IF I WERE TO GET THE CERTAIN REPAIRS DONE TO THE CAR, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT, MY CAR WOULD STOP HAVING THE PROBLEM, WHEN THE CAR STOPS. AGAIN, THIS MONTH, MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AND THE TRUNK DOOR WOULD NOT STAY OPEN, I HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR UP WITH MY HANDS. THEN I TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, THAT REPAIR CENTER, STATED THAT MY COMPUTER HAS PROBLEMS, I NEED A NEW CONDENSER AND COMPRESSOR.

ENGINE ISSUES APPEARED AROUND 80K MILES. STARTED AS A PINGING SOUND WHEN DRIVING ONE DAY, WITHIN 20 MINUTES AND WITHOUT WARNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND POWER WAS VERY LIMITED. WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER, COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH DIFFERENT SITUATION IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPORTED ENGINE FAILURE AND "REPLACED 2 RODS." COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. NOT EVEN 1 YEAR LATER, AT 100,750 MILES, THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN. SAME SOUND WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. IMMEDIATELY PARKED AND HAD CAR TOWED AGAIN. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS NO LONGER WITHIN THE 100,000 POWER TRAIN MILE WARRANTY AND WILL COST UPWARDS OF $5,900 TO REPAIR. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APX 25 MPH AND SLOWING FOR A RIGHT TURN. CAR DIED IN BUSY TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTION ON A CITY STREET. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO OIL LIGHT AND NO ENGINE LIGHT. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT SOUNDED HORRIBLE AND HAD NO POWER. TOOK IT INTO A SHOP TO FIND THE ENGINE HAD FAILED DUE TO IMPROPER OIL PRESSURE. SPUN ROD BEARING, AND TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. CAR RAN PERFECT BEFORE THIS INCIDENT AND I ADHERED TO OIL CHANGE SCHEDULE . I STILL OWE $20,000 ON IT! GM AND CHEVY WILL NOT HELP, EVEN THO I BOUGHT FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE IN A YEAR. BLOWER MOTOR QUIT WORKING AND WIPER MOTOR. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FIND TO THESE TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR TIMING CHAIN AND ENGINE FAILURE IN 2009 TO 2011, THEN AGAIN IN 2013 BUT NOT 2012? WHY CHEVY?! COST TO FIX: $9,926. ALMOST HALF OF WHAT I OWE ON A VEHICLE IVE HAD A YEAR.

WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH TWO SMALL INFANTS IN THE CAR GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND RAPIDLY LOST SPEED, CAUSING US TO SWERVE INTO THE DITCH AND OTHER CARS BEHIND US SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND NEEDED TO BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY. AFTER CONTACTING GENERAL MOTORS, WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, AND IN SOME CASES AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN GIVEN. WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT FIT THAT DESCRIPTION BECAUSE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACILITY AS THE OTHERS. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ERROR AS THE KNOWN ISSUE BUT GENERAL MOTORS IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY ACTION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY.

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE INTERSTATE (WITH MY 4 CHILDREN IN TOW) MY CEL, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHTS CAME ON. MY SPEED WAS REDUCED TO AROUND 45MPH. I HAD TWO SEMIS BEHIND ME, THE ONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME HAD TO GET OVER VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID REAR ENDING ME. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND TOOK THE NEXT EXIT APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES AHEAD. ONCE OFF THE INTERSTATE I SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE, WAITED TWO MINUTES THEN RESTARTED, LIGHTS AND MESSAGES STILL ON. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BUT COULD ONLY GO AROUND 45MPH WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT WANTING TO GO. I PARKED IT AT WORK THEN AT LUNCH I DROVE IT ON CITY STREETS AT 35MPH. I PARKED IT AGAIN AT MY WORK. WHEN I GOT OFF I STARTED THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING, NO LIGHTS OR MESSAGES. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE TO THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY HOME. WHEN MY VEHICLE HIT 60MPH THE SAME THING HAPPENED, LUCKILY NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND DRIVE 45MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER STARTING AGAIN THE SAME LIGHTS AND MESSAGES APPEARED. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD MY VIN/YEAR WAS NOT PART OF THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO KNOWING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. *TR

2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON. ENGINE LOSES POWER AND REQUIRES THE VEHICLE TO. E RESTARTED TO REGAIN POWER. WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RESET THE COMPUTER EACH TIME. THE LAST TIME THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER THE DEALER HAS STATED LOW FUEL VOLUME. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON THE SAME DAY USUALLY WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD US TO TRY HI TEST ETHANOL FREE GAS. WE DID AS TOLD WITH A FUEL TREATMENT THEY PUT IN THE TANK. THE LIGHTS STILL CAME ON. WHEN THE TRAVERSE IS STARTED IN THE MORNING(COLD START) THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 47000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. WE HAVE ALWAY KEPT THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED. LAST YEAR THE TRAVERSE STARTED USING OIL A QUART OR MORE IN 1000 MILES WHEN DRIVEN ON LONG TRIPS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 CHEVROLET TAVERSE WITH 35,000 MILES FROM SUPREME CHEVROLET CADILLAC OF PLAQUEMINE ON 5/23/2016. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A LITTLE OVER A WEEK NOW, THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, THE STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS OFF, THE PASSENGER WINDOW POWER BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE WANT ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AT TIMES, THEIR IS A NOISE WHEN THE AIR IS ON AND ALSO WHEN I TURN IT OFF, AND GETS WORSE WHEN I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHTS FOR THE AIRBAG AND ENGINE, IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN I NOTICED THE BUTTON FOR THE WINDOW, THE STEERING WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS OFF, AND THE NOISE BEING MADE. THEIR WAS A RECALL ON 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IN DECEMBER OF 2015 AND EARLIER IN 2015, IM NOT SURE HOW LONG A RECALL LAST BUT IF I AM GONNA PAY ALMOST $41,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE I WOULD LIKE FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MY 3 CHILDREN AND FIANCE TO FEEL SAFE RIDING IN IT. IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO EXPLAIN FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME..

MAJOR SAFTEY RISK: MY TRAVERSE WAS WELL MAINTAINED WAS OFTEN FILLED WITH SOCCER KIDS. THE SAFETY FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY! WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTO BEGAN DISPLAYING THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES IN RAPID SUCCESSION: BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE, SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK. I PARKED THE CAR TO DROP OF MY KIDS, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER A JUMP, I HEADED FOR THE DEALER WHICH WAS 4 MILES AWAY. OPERATIONS APPEARED OK INITIALLY. ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE CAR ELECTRONICS WENT OUT. NOT JUST RADIO AND A/C, BUT ALL ELECTRICAL. I REALIZED THAT THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFICE ON A CHICAGO EXPRESSWAY. NO HAZARDS, NO WAY TO LOWER WINDOWS, I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO FIND A GAP IN THE TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PARK. FROM THE SHOULDER OF THE EXPRESSWAY, CARS CONTINUED TO FLY PAST ME AT HIGH SPEED. THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY CHAOTIC AND DANGEROUS. I WAITED FOR AAA TO ARRIVE. AAA WAS FORCED TO TOW (MY TRAVERSE IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE) RATHER THAN FLATBED BECAUSE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY WE THE CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. AT THE CHEVY DEALER, THEY QUICKLY READ THE ERROR CODES AND PRESENTED ME WITH A $1,400 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR. SHARING MY FRUSTRATION AND POINTING OUT THAT THIS TYPE OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WAS WELL BEYOND ANY REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF A PRESUMABLY SAFE VEHICLE, THEY FOUND A WAY TO LOWER THE COST TO $607. (I DO RESPECT AND APPRECIATE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP.) THIS CLEARLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND CHEVY SHOULD CORRECT THESE ISSUES ON THEIR DIME. I BOUGHT THE TRAVERSE WITH THE EXPECATATION OF SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. I AM NOW VERY SKEPTICAL AND AM HESSITANT TO FILL THIS 8 SEATER WITH KIDS THE WAY I USED TOO. MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES. THIS IS A POTENTIAL MORTAL DANGER TO DRIVERS, PASSENGERS AND OTHER INNOCENT BYSTANDERS!

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY WENT ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER TO 5MPH WITH ENGINE RUNNING ROUGHLY. I LIMPED INTO CHEVROLET DEALER WHO REPLACED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY. CHEVROLET CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL BUT A FRIEND WHO HAS 2001 TRAVERSE WAS SENT LETTER INDICTING A POSSIBLE PROBLEM COULD OCCUR INDICATING SAME CIRCUMSTANCE-"THE ENGINE TO RUN ROUGH , CAUSE THE MALFUNCTION-INDICATOR LAMP/AND OR REDUCED POWER MESSAGE TO ILLUMINATE,AND REDUCE THE ENGINES POWER.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND THE STABILLITRACK LIGHT CAME ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THE DRIVER CENTER SAID THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUT OFF AND IT ALSO STATED TO SERVICE STABILLITRACK. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO SLOW ITSELF AS WELL. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. THE WARNING LIGHTS FINALLY WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN AND THE TRACTION CONTROL TURNED BACK ON, ON IT'S OWN. THE CAR SEEMED OK DRIVING HOME FOR 2 MILES AND ENGINE POWER SEEMED TO RETURN TO NORMAL BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME HESITATION IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS TOO. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE SOONEST THEY CAN GET ME IN TO CHECK THE CAR IS MONDAY. I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY WOULD NOT COMMIT TO SAFETY OR RELIABILITY BUT REFUSED PROVIDE ANY RELIEF UNTIL MONDAY AND GAVE ME NO OFFER OF A LOANER CAR. I JUST DID SOME INVESTIGATING ONLINE TO RESEARCH WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT CAN OCCUR AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. MANY FORUMS LIST MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD OCCUR AGAIN AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM LOOKS TO BE INTERMITTENT AND WILL OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AT ANY SPEED. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, STARTED UP HILL AT 55 MPH IN TRAFFIC. FOLLOWING ALARMS CAME ON: TRACTION CONTROL DASHBOARD SYMBOL; STABILITRACK OFF; ENGINE POWER REDUCED; TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO 40 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO FASTER. ONLINE FORUMS INDICATE THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY OR ECU PROBLEM, KNOWN TO GM AT LEAST SINCE 2010. IT HAS BEEN HANDLED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS DEPENDING HOW MUCH THE INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN. I REGARD THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IT COULD LEAD TO A REAREND COLLISION AT HIGH SPEED WITH CONSEQUENT LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND LOSS OF LIVES. BELIEVE GM HAS USED SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION TO BURY THE FORUM DISCUSSIONS ON THIS, BUT IF YOU SEARCH FOR CHEVY TRAVERSE THROTTLE BODY DEFECT YOU CAN EASILY FIND IT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS ENGINE DEFECT, WHICH DANGEROUSLY STOPS THE CAR WHILE DRIVEN. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TRIED TO REPAIR ONCE BUT FAILED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2012. ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2013, THE ENGINE OF MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO "MAC MAIK CHEVROLET" IN HOUSTON FOR EXAMINATION AND REPAIR. ON OCTOBER 11, 2013, THE DEALERSHIP GAVE IT BACK TO ME ASSURING THAT THEY REPAIRED IT. TWO DAYS LATER, ON OCTOBER 13, 2013, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD, AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CAR AGAIN SUDDENLY CAME TO A HALT, BLOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES AND ENTIRE ENGINE. THE CAR RAN INTO AN INTERSECTION BEFORE IT CAME TO FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. THANKFULLY, NO OTHER CAR WAS IN THE INTERSECTION. IT WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS THAT THEY FOUND ANOTHER PROBLEM AND AGAIN ASSURE THAT THEY FIXED IT. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO GENERAL MOTORS, WHICH SIMPLY RESPONDED THAT THEY THINK IT IS NOW FIXED. NO REASONABLY PRUDENT PERSON WOULD EVER DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. I WAS IN EXTREME DANGER TWICE DUE TO THE DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY ACTION UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
