The trunk liftgate closes on people and can crush someone if you aren't strong enough to force the door open. It also will not stay open.

Engin burning oil. Also says cat under performance bay 1 I had a mechanic fir it twice due to misfire on 2 cylinders. Lift gate electrical only works sometimes and others it goes up the starts to close half way up. Iv been hit in the head a few times. Passenger window won't roll up or down from driver side. All issues I was informed were due to faulty manufacturing issues.

Was in a motor vehicle accident. I was going approximately 10 mph. Other driver accelerated to unknown speed and struck my vehicle in the driver door. Door was crushed to the point that it was up against my thigh. Neither of the side airbags went off. Vehicle has approximately $10,600 in damage and I am recovering from a fracture in my lower back. Curious with this kind of damage and injury why the airbags did not deploy.

Traverse 6-cyl

  • 30,000 miles
Vehicle was driven back home after a 20 min journey. Switched vehicle off, removed keys, I came back to remove last bag from vehicle - white smoke was coming from under hood. Tried to put out with a small fire extinguisher. Flames now coming from hood and out of front grille. Called 911. Within 20 mins car was a total loss, with damage to adjacent home. Informed insurer and GM customer care. GM claims dept have investigated and no GM fault determined. 18 month old vehicle must not catch fire by itself, more action required. Vehicle is now in the hands of our insurer. Please note we are in Canada - we also have informed Transport - but we feel the us authorities should be aware. Seabright, nova scotia, B3Z 3A3.
