problem #2

Traverse LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 32,000 miles

We leased our 2016 chevy traverse 1 year ago (traded in our 2012 traverse). We have already had a head replaced in it 2 months ago (covered by warranty). Now we have a dead battery that if its jumped by cables it will run till you turn it off, then it wont start on its own! So now it sits in our driveway! We have been told if its the battery its not covered by warranty...we do have appt to take to our dealer to have it looked at! We loved our 2012, no problems at all. This 2016 nothing but problems! Very frustrated !!!!

Traverse LS 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 200 miles

3 days old...less than 200 miles on odometer...reminding me why I haven't bought a NEW car in over 20 years.

I have a 98 Dodge Ram 232000 miles (bought used 4 yrs ago), 2005 Chevy Astro AWD 241000 miles (program car bought 18mos old). Guess which vehicles I have COMPLETE confidence will start every time I try for the next month...Pathetic considering the primary motivator for the purchase was to not have to worry about my wife

having vehicle issues with the astro van (a PREDICTION of that in the future mind you...they haven't even started).

After looking at posts related to electrical issues with this vehicle, I am wondering if I should simply make them take it back.

I suggested to the CS team yesterday that they simply call the dealer and have a battery ready. I would have my son swap them out and see if the problem recurrs. Apparently it makes more sense (to them) to have sent a flatbed wrecker 10 miles each way to take the car in to the dealer. So after the dealer opened and see a vehicle and envelope with owner info, we lose an hour or daylight because they don't know why it is there...on a Chevy dealer lot...3 days old...towed there via arrangements 100% made by GM CS...and now they are going to "run their tests and diagnostics" on the vehicle to attempt to determine the cause of the problem...aka, good luck having your new vehicle back in your possession today...Thanks!
