Transmission slipping through first and fourth gears, car slow respond, jerking, shudder. Afraid to drive car- because safety issue vehicle-will say put car in drive. When the vehicle is in drive. Vehicle will not go in auto stopped mode. Vehicle roars -to the right when driving right front bad. The dealer told me there is an internal recall on the transmission-they are aware of the issues. They are not making it public-they are just repairing as customers bring them in with complaints.

We were traveling on vacation and were 2.5 hrs away from home at this time. We stopped to put gas. When we exit the gas station to enter enter the street (before entering the fwy), there was a loud grinding noise and we lost control of the vehicle. We were able to steer to the side of the road without being able to apply any gear change. The car was still on, but we were not able to accelerate the car. None of the gears were functioning, including, parking, drive, and reverse. We were left up hill and it was scary because even when the car was placed on parking, it was going downhill. Without placing the break on the car, the car would just keeping rolling down. We were lucky that the traffic was slow so we were able to guide the park down hill where the land was completely flat. My 2018 car was towed to the dealer and the service department stated the cause of this incident was a broken axle!! I drive my 3 Y.O. to school almost every day and I drive on the fwy to go to school about 4 times a week. This malfunction could have caused our and others lives. My car is supposed to be ready on Monday, but I am scared to drive it again.

First issue is, when you stop driving the Traverse, place it in park and hit the button to turn off the engine, it will shut off the engine but not the electronics. The car displays "action required shift to park" even though it is already in park with the red P lit up. You cannot turn off the vehicle until you repeatedly start the vehicle, place it in drive then back to park. Eventually it will work correctly. Vehicle will not lock when this happens. This now happens every time I try to turn off the vehicle. I am just out of warranty and dealership says I need to replace the entire steering column as the recommended fix from manufacturer did not work. All of which are out of pocket expenses despite this being a well known issue. Also, vehicle will randomly have a long delay before the vehicle shifts in gear. You shift to D and hit the gas and the engine revs like it is in neutral and eventually it will finally start to go. This delay with engine revving also happens randomly when at a stop and accelerating through intersections and I have had a few near misses of almost being hit because of this! this second issue only seems to happen when going from a stop.

I was stopped at an intersection and the transmission did not allow the vehicle to move forward, it appeared to disengage even though the shifter and dash icon were set in "drive" mode. There is also an alarm sounding when I shut the vehicle motor off and the dash screen reads "shift to park". I found that I need to restart the vehicle and shift out and back in to "park" in order for this alarm to shut off. It appears there is a bad connection between the computer and the transmission or visa versa. GM has already issued several tsbs related to this vehicle as you might be aware.

I have started getting the error message shift to park when the vehicle is in the park mode. It is not possible to shut off the vehicle off while the error is present the issue occurs on all surfaces (flat and sloped surfaces ). the issue is happening more frequently and after research appears to be a well documented problem on this vehicle.

Transmission - will not engage into drive. When you try to accelerate transmission shutter, jerking, will not engage properly. You can feel it now until speeds of 55 mph. Sitting a stop light. The vehicle will engage speed on its own. Sometimes in the morning start will not engage. Stop engine goes to auto-stop. On dash start engine. Major problems. Already had ECM reprogrammed several times.

Started getting a "shift to park" message when trying to shut off the vehicle, even tough the gear shifter showed being in park. When this occurred, the motor would turn off, but the electronics in the car would remain on. Keep in mind that this vehicle uses a smart key with push button ignition and door locks. If the battery goes dead, you have to break into the vehicle. A quick google search showed this to be a common problem in the Traverse. The shop foreman at the local dealership confirmed this to be a common issue. The gear shifter (also electric) had failed and had to be replaced by Chevrolet.

2018 Chevy Traverse when decelerating around speeds under 35mph city driving the vehicle will randomly rev up and the RPM will go up to 4000 or 5000 RPM, this also happens while braking. Sometimes the car will jerk forward as if it was going to accelerate and other times it just stays at a high RPM for 5 seconds or less until I either come to a complete stop or try to accelerate and it does not respond. The engine sounds like it is in neutral and the accelerator is being held down. It also does not respond to the gas pedal when it is reving like this, and if I try to accelerate the car will eventually kick into gear and lunge forward. Took it to the dealer withing the first few months of owning it and they could not replicate the issue and said the computer did not return any issue. This problem comes and goes since I bought the car brand new in 2018 and concerns me, because it feels as if the car is accelerating on its own and may cause me to crash.

Several instances have occurred when I have put the vehicle in park and attempted to turn the vehicle off I received a message "shift to park", even though the vehicle is already in park. When this occurs, it will not allow me to turn the vehicle off. It will take several minutes of shifting the vehicle from drive to park before it will register the park position.

When I shut off my car it says to shift into park regardless of the fact that it is and won't shut off for a while I think the shifter has a defective problem

- Desoto, TX, USA

The vehicle auto-stopped at a stop sign. When it restarted and I made a right turn out of my neighborhood, the vehicle would not accelerate, it would only lurch. It lurched as if someone was punching the gas pedal quite aggressively. The vehicle's engine light eventually illuminated. The car had to be towed. At this time there is a service bulletin for this issue (from February 2018) but no known repair.

The car does not register when the car is in park after I turn it off. It reads 'shift to park' and I have to spend several minutes jiggling the shifter or restarting the car and going through different gears. It is a very big inconvenience. I took it to the repair shop as it started right after the warranty ran out. They said either the shifter needs to be replaced or the gearbox via a conversation they had with someone they had at Chevy. They were told Chevy and GMC are aware of it being a problem but it's not on a recall level yet.

Takata recall my 2018 Chevrolet 3lt AWD Traverse that was purchased in March 2018 and with only 15K miles does not recognize that it is in park when placed in park. When the engine is shut off, an alert pops up telling us to shift to park and will not fully shut down. We then have to wiggle and move the shift gear into different gears to attempt to get it to accept the fact that it is in park. Most times it takes 10 minutes or more to shut it down. This happens everytime the Traverse is driven. I have been stranded with my kids because of it not shutting down. We were told that we need a new shift gear assembly.

Issue 1 when you stop driving the Traverse, place it in park and hit the button to turn off the engine, it will shut off the engine but not the electronics. The car displays 'action required shift to park' even though the shifter is in park with the red P lit up. You cannot turn off the vehicle until you repeatedly start the vehicle, place it in drive then back to park. Eventually it will work correctly. It also seems to clear if I shift all the way down to L then back to park. Issue 2 randomly (but often) when you start the vehicle and shift it into drive there is a long delay before the vehicle shifts in gear. You shift to D and hit the gas and the engine revs like it's in neutral. Looking at the display the D keeps flashing then eventually it will stop flashing and the vehicle will go in gear. This is happening more and more frequently.

My vehicle's transmission is lagging. It sometimes won't go when in drive and given gas. The engine will rev up but won't move. It shifts hard as well. The shift to park indicator comes on when the vehicle is in park and not moving. The radio screen sometimes won't turn off or on, like it's froze. When I turn the vehicle off and all power is off, I can walk in the house and about 4 minutes later my radio comes on by itself. Even if the radio is powered off. The volume will only go up to 32-36, as far as sound, while the radio screen shows 63. It's not loud at all! when I turn the volume button down, the radio increases volume but still isn't as loud as before. It has less than 30,000 miles on it and it's very upsetting. I've already had to put in the shop to replace one faulty part already.
