I keep having to get the air conditioning fixed. I had all of the electrical work done and replaced and a few months later it went back out. I replaced the condensor. I had more freon added and it still blows out warm air. This is the 3rd time that I have had the air to not work. Very frustrating! when the car is in motion, it still does not work.

I have had all electrical work done. The lights keep going out on my truck. I replace the low beam lights frequently. I also have problems when I pump gas. The truck stalls and does not want to crank. I have had that problem fixed before and it is doing it again.

Check engine light came on in car. Code stated that it was the fuel pump control module. When I researched this issue I found where GM recalled hundreds if not thousands of vehicles to include Chevy Traverses during the 2010 model year because of faulty fuel pump control modules or (chassis electronic control modules). GM recall, bulletin # 14515B. I spoke to several GM dealers in town who gave me the run around about how this was not a safety recall because of faulty parts but an "informational bulletin". long story short I had to pay 300 dollars to get a new module programmed. The damage would have been a lot worse if I would have let them run more diagnostics prior to fixing the issue. I complained to GM who said there was no recall on my vehicle and referred me to NHTSA. From what I understand the module can become contaminated because of wet conditions. On June 12, 2017 cheyenne wy had a very large hail storm that my vehicle was caught in while driving in the city and the module may have gotten wet causing the problem. My complaint is that GM recalled this same part on all these other vehicles to include 2010 Traverses but for what ever reason my VIN number is not included. I believe it should be because my vehicle had the exact same issue as to why they recalled all these others. I still have the faulty module if anyone wants to check it out because it is the same part and part number which was recalled. My vehicle should be included in this recall and I should be reimbursed my money for this repair.

I bought this Traverse used with only 7,000 miles. After about a year, the radio and screen would not turn off after turning the car off and opening the door. It would remain on even after turning the ignition on and off or opening the drivers door several times. The front passenger window does not go down using the driver side controls, despite multiple attempts to fix it. I have learned to live with the issues when recently addition problems have appeared. For some reason it feels like I am driving with the emergency brake engaged or pulling a heavy trailer. Most of the time I have to press harder on the gas just to make the vehicle go. As a result, the gas mileage has dropped significantly. Also, suddenly the air conditioner for the driver blows only warm air while all the other vents blow cold. There is a constant clicking sound behind the dash and I am about to replace a second actuator. Finally, there is a loud noise from the engine like it is still running after it is turned off and the key is out of the ignition. I have to turn the ignition on and off again for it to stop. Even then, the engine fan remains on, which it never did before. All these started just as it was about to hit 80,000 miles.

Gas tank does accurately show how much gas I have left. The fuel gauge constantly fluctuates. I was driving and my mile range showed I had 54 miles worth of gas left. I made a stop and the car was idling and when I got back in the car it showed I had 89 miles worth of gas left. When I got to my destination I got the low fuel warning message. I have watched my fuel gauge and mile range go up incrementally while in park. This issue is the same issue as a recall with later models and it can cause a terrible accident if my car stalls or shuts off because there was not as much gas in the car as the gauge states. Similar recall below with same exact issues. Recall subject : inaccurate fuel gauge reading report receipt date: Apr 30, 2014 NHTSA campaign number: 14V223000 component(s): Electrical system, fuel system, gasoline potential number of units affected: 51,640 manufacturer: General Motors llc

Not sure I should do this but it has occured 2 times bow. My Traverse eccelerator gets stuck down and you cant atop. The only way to stop is put in nutral if you have the time. I am afraid to have my wife deive this. It happened for the 2nd time since I have owned it the other day. The breaks wont worm unless you put it into nutral!!!

Car stalled out 1 month prior to this particular incident in the middle of a residential intersection. Check engine light did not come on either. Took the car into Goodyear for a check and nothing showed up on their computer, car was driven for 20 min without incident either. Was advised to try and use a fuel injection flush. Gasoline could be smelled inside the car after the stalling incident. 9/13/15: While driving on the freeway the check engine light came on, car started to slow down dramatically. Strong smell of gasoline started to seep into the car. Car finally stalled out as we approached the shoulder lane. The smell of gasoline was very strong at this point, inside and outside. Car was towed to Goodyear. Hooked up car to the computer and there were 6 things wrong with the car. Was told to take it into the Chevy dealership where I bought the car in 2010. Owner of Goodyear store also informed us that prior to our car coming in, 3 cars of the same make, model, and year came in this past year for the same problem. They advised all of the other 2010 Chevy Traverse owners to go back to the dealership. Brought in the car to dealership. Upon starting up my car, the entire service area started to smell of gasoline. Car was hooked up to the computer and I was then told that I would have to pay $2200 to fix the "multiple problems". the 5 out of 6 fuel injectors were misfiring. Fuel pump, injectors, spark plugs, and more need to be replaced. Check engine light never turned on once since I bought this car in 2010, until the incident on 9/13/15 on the freeway. My warranty just ran out in may of this year, without incident! now that my warranty has expired, this happens!

Throttle body went out at 66000 K miles. Was told by dealership that the sensor on throttle body shorted out. At the point that it went out. Power to the engine was reduced and car immediately decelerated, almost causing an accident.
