I bought the car in August of last year and drove it for about 3 days before it started giving me problems. First incident I was driving my children home from the hairdresser and the car completely went out us on the highway, after repeated attempts for a half hour or so I was able to start it and drive it back home very slowly..this happened twice I went to get it diagnosed and codes came up for crank shaft sensor and o2 sensor, before I could even get that fixed more problems came up, the steering wheel began to become stiff and almost impossible to turn, while picking my son up from school I was trying to pull away from the curb in the drop off spot and almost hit another car and a child because the steering wheel stiffened up on me!!! I was told I would need an entire steering rack!!!...also the key has gotten stuck in the ignition and wouldn't start and I had to have it towed to a mechanic for that as well. Driving up hill one day I lost power that made it seem like it was stuck in low, then we lost reverse altogether as well as the ability to climb hills. I got the transmission repaired, barely made it home before it started doing the exact same thing, no reverse and won't go up hills, so I had to get it towed back to the shop to fix it once again, now I find out that the computer went bad as well and was causing the car to perform in neutral. This car has given me nothing but problems since I bought it! It is very dangerous to be on the road! I don't understand how they're even still in circulation!! This is by far the worst experience I've ever had with a vehicle! Upon doing research online I seen that there were HUNDREDS of people with these cars experiencing the same problems. Something has to be done!! I had the car almost a year and only got about a week's worth of use!!

I was pulling out of my driveway in reverse and control of the car was lost. I could have been killed. I just bought the car and I was never told of any issues or recalls with the car as it should have went through a safety inspection. Even when I looked online the vehicle was cleared for recall repairs. No service engine lights alerted me of any problems. This happened instantly and without warning. My vehicle was in motion backing into a city street.

I have a 2009 Chevy Traverse with vibration problem while driving in around 3gear and around 5 gear. Driving city and highway vibration come and go away for couple second. I raplaced wheel hub bearing both side, lower control arm and bushing, driveline shaft, cv boot axle. Vibration is really rough, feel it from front and back of vehicle. When start up driving around ok, about 10 min of driving vibraation starts. I have read many forum online Traverse, acadia and Saturn having same problem. I feel this problem should be recall and isn't safe for me or other people with this problem. Second problem is radio system not working, from getting inside wire connector on side door, causing a short to amplifier.

Gears lacking to go to next.

My ltz started shuddering at about 25-30mph @ around 130,000 miles. Check engine line is on sporadically. If you push the gas harder, it picks up and moves on. This seems to be the problem with many '09 models. There needs to be a recall/fix for this issue. We use this car only for family trips or big grocery trips. I'd hate to get rid of it. Paying $45,000 for a vehicle means it should last for a very long time!

The driver informed the contact that there was a burning wire odor under the hood, which entered the vehicle throught the vents.

When you stop up a upgrade to the light, the car rolls back.I would have to give it gas then release the brakes.I never had this to happen in any other car we had.it kind of scare me, because I almost roll back in another car. The other situation is the parking brake doesn't release like it suppose to.I saw a recall on some Traverse, but my vehicle doesn't have one.I need this to work properly, because these SUVS' then be hard to put in gear on slight inclines

While my car was in motion on city street I had sudden loss of gears and car would not shift into higher gears nor move more than 25 mph. Had diagnosis that I needed new transmission at Chevy dealership. Dealer repeatedly denied that issue was related to special coverage bulletin #14404, transmission clutch wave plate, well documented defect with 2009 Traverse and then wanted to charge me ridiculous fee to diagnosis after I replaced transmission. Had transmission replacement at local shop and old transmission disassembled to reveal broken wave plate in 3 pieces. Chevy cust. Service now refuses to reimburse for any costs since repair was not made at dealer despite the fact my car met requirements for special coverage

Traverse stopped at a city intersection and failed to move or start after that. Timing chain broke at 158,000 causing damage to catalytic converters. Failure of power steering was an ongoing problem for months that caused wheels to lock up during turns and then suddenly release causing much over correction because of having to pull so hard on the steering wheel when it would go out.

While spouse was driving vehicle with kids on expressway, the vehicle shut off by itself. Spouse pulled over and waited about 10 minutes before vehicle started again. Couple of days later, vehicle would not start at all. Took to dealer a couple of weeks later as vehicle still would not start. Dealer found the electronic chassis module(ECM) was shorted. There is a known recall for this same vehicle and symptoms. Dealer and GM state this vehicle is not part of recall however same model and year across country has same issue.

As soon as my vehicle reached just over 102,000 miles, my engine completely shut down while we were driving our kids to practice. I have taken it to the Chevy dealership that has been repairing my vehicle since we purchased it (1.5 years prior to the engine shutting down) and they have informed us we need a completely new engine because the crankshaft is completely blown. When they finally got it started up, it sounded like a bag of hammers being violently shaken. In the 1.5 years that we have had the vehicle, the timing belt has gone out, an electrical issue that caused the car to shut down completely as well, and another repair that my husband handled shortly after we got the car. Chevy has told us we are out of luck and that we have to pay for a new engine. When the dealership checked the value of the vehicle because we were going to try to trade it in, they told us the car, in perfect working condition would only be worth $6,000, even though 1.5 years prior, it was worth $20,000. The engine replacement is going to cost us more than the vehicle is worth! from what we have seen, a lot of these cars (same year make and model) are having the same problems and should be recalled completely!
