Traverse

  • 60,000 miles
I live in cold climate with snow and ice conditions.when in motion, usually when the engine has reached running temperature is when the issues tend to occur. I notice it happens more often if there is ice build up on the rims causing an imbalance in the wheels but happens when the car is free of any ice or snow build up. The results of this is out of no where engine power is reduced, stability trak, park assist exct. Warning lights come on. This has now happened to me several times now in different conditions making this Chevy Traverse unsafe for my family of five, this is my only vehicle and the closest Chevy dealership is 135 miles away. With all that being the case I did research on my vehicles issues to find many websites and forums of countless people having the same issue with GM vehicles up to 8 years older than mine any many vehicles of the same year and model. Yet no recalls are found on these models and have put many people in dangerous situations. I have not took my Traverse to the dealer yet because I feel like I would get took advantage of like the hundred or so posts that I read about people that have been and wrote about there dealer horror stories. This is a well known issue that GM needs to fix for there consumer's and has failed to do so for the past eight years

Traverse

  • 22,000 miles
This has happened 3 times while driving down the interstate at 70mph. While driving all of a sudden my dash starts flashing traction control off & then flashes service stabilitytrac & my engine loses power and starts jerking kind of like your are running out of gas. This lasts until you stop and turn off the car for about 5 min then restart it. But it keeps happening when I get back on the interstate.

First problem is that the fuel guage fluctuates. Second and most frightening, while I was drinking on wed. The 19th of July with my son, my Traverse completely shut off. I took it to the dealer that night, got it back the following Monday and was told that the problem couldn't be duplicated. I'm guessing this is the standard answer to these problems. It's not acceptable to me I that I know that this has been a previous issue with this vehicle. I am also frighteningly aware that there have been deaths caused by this. I am still driving the vehicle trusting that GM stand behind their vehicles as well as they technicians. Please, please fix this problem!! I am aware of the previous recalls on earlier Traverses and I want it to be known that this issue is in fact still an issue. A very serious issue!!!
