Driving late at night with family down a state highway/city street with some stoplights and rotary, vehicle suddenly seems to be intermittently losing power or transmission slipping when driving. When giving gas entering rotary, intermittent slipping/power loss (like a skipping power/slipping transmission) worsened - felt greater loss of power and for slightly longer periods. Noted engine light came on. Worsening intermittent power failure/slipping/hesitation/jerking continued when giving gas to engine for ~1/4 mile until pulled into shopping mall parking lot. Felt lucky to be able to reach lot, called for flatbed tow to dealer. Dealer had vehicle for 1 week, and when assessment complete, reported dtc P0011, P0014, P0021 and P0024 cam codes. They visually inspected with no concerns, test actuator system operating. Search for bulletins revealed document 5251270 with no repair yet for anomaly, which describes "some customers may comment that the ses [service engine soon] lamp is illuminated. This lamp may have come on by itself or in some cases, the customer may experience drivability issues such as a stall, lurch, stumble, hesitation or power loss after an auto stop/restart." Notes technician may find the above listed codes. Cause is listed as "a software anomaly that allows the 'verify sync' status to not restart and reach full 'sync' when the engine restarts. The ECM then reports actual cam positions as '0' while it continues to command the actuators to move resulting in engine roughness and/or drivability concerns (as stated above) with the possibility of setting multiple cam phaser performance dtcs." Instructions on the bulletin are to check and clear codes and return vehicle to customer. Bulletin created on 5/7/2018 with 5 updates since. Brought vehicle back to dealer due to concerns of lack of fix and safety when recurs, dealer unable to replicate.

Car had about 10000 miles and in two separate occasions has stalled, steering wheel had stop working, couldn't steer, car turns off when stopped at traffic lights, alrms go off and dealer just says they can only reprogram the computer, no repairs available. On a third time braking system alarms went off and dealer had to replace the braking system. Vehicle has always failed while in motion. Dealer and manufacturer will be responsible if someone gets hurt because this car does not function as it should.

In early April 2019, approximately the first week of April, I was driving the Traverse on a hill and stopped at a stop light. When the light turned green, I attempted to step on the gas and pull forward, but the car rolled backwards. I looked down to see if I was in reverse, but the car was in drive. This specific incident occurred a total of two times. On April 23, 2019 around 9:40 am I was driving and my car stalled multiple times during this trip. I was not sure if the car was going to make it to my final destination. The check engine light illuminated. On April 24, I received a call from the dealership. The dealership informed me that the car showed 4 'codes'. P0011 'a' camshaft position ' timing over-advanced or system performance bank 1 P0014 'B' camshaft position ' timing over-advanced or system performance bank 1 P0021 'a' camshaft position ' timing over-advanced or system performance bank 2 P0024 'B' camshaft position ' timing over-advanced or system performance bank 2 these codes represented a software problem related to the engine. Tim informed me that according to the GM bulletin (pip5568E or document id# 5251270), the recommendation is to delete the codes and that there is not a software solution to the problem at this time. The dealership informed me that because of the severity of the symptoms I was experiencing related to the codes he did not feel comfortable with the recommendation from the GM bulletin and he would be escalating the issue to the GM district manager. The ultimate result is that they want to delete the codes and have me come pick up the car as there is no solution to the issue at this time.

On a normal sunny afternoon after about driving for 20 or so miles, we were approaching a red light in a line of traffic at a busy intersection, the vehicle appeared to start slightly jerking as I was coming to a stop. Once stopped the stop/start function operated. Upon releasing the brake to accelerate thru the intersection the vehicle started jerking and lurching uncontrollably then shut down completely, the instrument panel went dark. I could not get the car out of the line of heavy traffic, I had to put it in park right in the middle of the road and try the start button. Thankfully the vehicle started, the check engine light came on and stayed on but the vehicle appeared to be running normal again and we were able to proceed. This was very upsetting and dangerous as it occurred in heavy traffic at an intersection. I took it back to the dealership the next day (I bought this vehicle used 2 weeks prior, this was only my 2nd time driving it and I had only put 70 miles on it in the 2 weeks I had it). The current mileage is approx. 25,600. The hard code the dealer retrieved noted a camshaft sensor issue. The sensor was notreplaced, I was told that GM is aware of this problem and would be issuing a recall but they are not sure when. They said it was a computer program issue. I am very concerned for our safety while operating this vehicle as they said the issue may or may not happen again. Onstar sent me an email notifying me that my 2018 chev Traverse had and engine/transmission issue and to take it to the dealer asap. Thank you onstar, I am very aware of the issue and it was already at the dealer but I appreciate that you also recognize that there was a problem. Hoping GM does something very soon, this is a $50,000 vehicle with only 25K miles on it and it is not safe to operate under these conditions.

While at a traffic light, the engine auto stop engaged as usual. However, upon releasing the brake to proceed through the intersection, the vehicle restarted but would not run properly. The vehicle would lurch/jerk forward then lose power over and over again. It felt like we would get whiplashed from the movement of the vehicle. The engine light came on. We were able to make it off of the road into a parking lot in order to call the dealership for advice. They advised to turn the vehicle off and restart it in order to reset the systems. While this restored the ability to drive the vehicle, the check engine light has remained on and the vehicle will be going into the dealership in 3 days (the earliest available appointment) to be evaluated.

Started SUV then noticed check engine came on once driving. Went down a major road and noticed the SUV was losing power and wasn't shifting properly. Had my kids in the car and was able to turn around to get back to my house. Once I got it to a safe spot I pressed on the gas to properly park it. Then the SUV jerked forward in a sudden amd hard fashion and I almost hit the car in front of me.

- Oak Creek, WI, USA

While driving on rainy day about 20 mph the engine would alternate between a power surge to no power. This continued for several minutes while driving (nowhere to pull over) until the engine completely died. Both the jerking forward and the shutoff while driving could have caused a horrible accident but fortunately we were lucky. The street was a city street, it was a very wet environment, and I was going straight. Traffic was stop and go so the car speed never was higher than about 20mph. All events occurred while SUV was in motion. Engine light was on. Took car in for service. They said nothing is currently a reported issue during the dtc status check but there was a "history" of "lin bus 14 lost communication with device", and a few reports regarding intake camshaft and exhaust camshaft issues. Have not heard the dealer's assessment yet.

New lease under 8,000 miles and the transmission failed. While stopped at a red light on a heavily trafficked roadway, when I hi the gas there was a loud grinding. The transmission would not engage again as I sat in the middle of main roadway with car speeding by as my wife, my children and my niece sat in the vehicle with me. After trying to get the transmission to engage in "AWD" I was able to get the car off the roadway and into a much safer parking area. When put into "park" the car continued to roll unless the "emergency brake was engaged. The car is currently in a dealer in Maryland awaiting repairs more than a week later, and I am back at home on long island.

At 7,256 miles, the engine light came on. Dale willey automotive replaced the engine coolant fan motor & assembly, as it was intermittently turning on & off, causing a code to be fired for the engine light. The radiator also had to be replaced due to a leak. Also, a fuse had to be replaced that was installed incorrectly by the factory with a plastic coating covering the metal contact of the fuse which was causing intermittent power.

Was driving from nyc to toronto. We stopped 3 hours after for bathroom break and lunch. I did not leave the car therefore the car remained on. Drove for another 2 hours and stopped for a bathroom break at junius ponds travel plaza around 330pm. Turned off the car and thats when we realized we drove without the key. This is in the middle of winter with children in the car. We called onstar and Chevy but they could not assist in anyway. My parents had to drive to us to give us they key. It took them over 6 hours because it was rush hour. Imagine 6 hours being stranded with kids. Luckily we were at a rest stop with food, bathroom and most importantly heat. It turned out while my husband was busy packing up the car, he had switched into his winter jacket leaving his sweatshirt behind which that keys were in. The car was in park in our driveway. We drove off and there were no notifications. We even stopped at startbucks and put the car in park again. This is a major safety issue as this will make it easy for theft and risks the safety and health of the people in the car. Can you imagine if we had stopped at a place that did not have heat. Onstar only allows 2 remote engine start then it will tell you that the car engine has to be manually turned on before using the remote start again. Im not talking about if a child accidentally throws the keys out the window in the middle of the highway and the car should turn off. Im suggesting that the car should not be allowed to move from parking if the key is not in the vehicle. Imagine driving 5 hours 300+ miles away from the key and no warning.
