TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A TICKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS RE-DIAGNOSED THAT THE HARMONIC BALANCER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

CHILD SEAT:HARNESS:FRONT ADJUSTER, CHILD SEAT:HARNESS:STRAP/WEBBING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE BRITAX B SAFE 35 ELITE INFANT CAR SEAT AND THE RED RELEASE BUTTON FOUND ON TOP OF THE SEAT WHERE AN INFANT'S FEET/LEGS REST. MY DAUGHTER JUST TURNED 1 A FEW WEEKS AGO AND IS ABLE TO RELEASE THE STRAPS IN THIS CAR SEAT HERSELF. SHE RESTS HER FEET ON THE RED BUTTON AND WITH THE ROAD MOVEMENT OF THE CAR AND HER WIGGLING AROUND, SHE IS ABLE TO LOOSEN THE SEAT ENOUGH TO GET HER ARM OUT OF THE STRAP. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH FORCE WHATSOEVER TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BUTTON TO CAUSE THE STRAPS TO LOOSEN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SHE HAS LOOSENED HERSELF FROM THIS SEAT. THE BUTTON IS FULLY EXPOSED WITH NO COVERING IN AN AREA THAT CHILDREN REST THEIR FEET. AFTER VISITING SEVERAL CAR SEAT RETAILERS, I NOTED THAT BRITAX B SAFE INFANT SEAT WAS THE ONLY CAR SEAT THAT DID NOT HAVE A COVERING OVER THE RELEASE BUTTON. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THOSE CAR SEATS IF NEEDED. EVEN BRITAX'S OWN CONVERTIBLE SEATS AT LEAST HAVE A LIP OVER THE BUTTON TO PREVENT CHILDREN FROM RELEASING IT. EVERY SINGLE CAR SEAT I CAME ACROSS EITHER HAD THE RELEASE BUTTON UNDER THE PADDING, HAD A PLASTIC LIP THAT EXTENDED OVER THE BUTTON, OR WAS POSITIONED IN A WAY THAT A CHILD COULD NOT RELEASE IT (MUCH LESS AN INFANT). THIS CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN AND SAFETY FEATURE THAT WAS OVERLOOKED BY BRITAX. BRITAX CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME MY DAUGHTER WAS TOO TALL FOR THE SEAT YET SHE FALLS UNDER THE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS OF 32 INCHES AND/OR 35 LBS. THIS IS MY 4TH BRITAX CAR SEAT PURCHASE AND I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH THEIR BRAND UP UNTIL NOW. THE 3 OTHER SEATS I OWN ALL HAVE THE RELEASE BUTTON UNDER THE SEAT PADDING WHERE AN INFANT/CHILD CANNOT EASILY GET TO IT. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT SAFE IN HER CAR SEAT AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND. WE HAVE SINCE DISCONTINUED USING THIS SEAT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RECENTLY LEASED VEHICLE IS A HAZARD! ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES, DECELERATES AND BRAKES ON ITS OWN. TRANSMISSION CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE VEHICLE CAN NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT, IT DOES NOT MOVE WHEN PLACED INTO REVERSE AND SOUNDS LIKE A CAR BADLY OUT OF SHAPE. THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND MAKES LOUD CLUNKING SOUNDS AS IF THE DIFFERENT SPEEDS COULD NOT KICK IN. THE CAR HAS NEVER GIVEN ANY WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR ALL THE ISSUES IT PRESENTS. ELECTRICAL ISSUES: CAN NOT CHARGE PHONE ON IT. TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEIR REPORTS STATE NO CODES AVAILABLE FOR ANY POSSIBLE ISSUE. ONLY UNTIL THE CAR STARTED TO BURN AND SHOW SMOKE, DID THE MECHANICS ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. REPORT RETURNED SHOWS THAT THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH NO ROOT CAUSE FOUND, STEERING WHEEL AND ALIGNMENT WHERE NEEDED, SEVERAL PIECES KNOWN AS CLUTCHES/PATS HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALL THESE ISSUES PRESENTED DRIVING IN STREET TRAFFIC UNDER 40MPH AND IN SHORT DISTANCES.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SEPT. 17 2016, WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE CAR'S ENGINE SLOWED DRAMATICALLY AND STABILITY TRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, AND SLOW ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND TURNED IT OFF. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO TURN OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL. THERE WAS A PUNGENT SMELL ALL INSIDE THE CAR OF GAS AND OTHER FUMES, BUT I DID NOT SEE ANY FLUIDS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO START THE CAR WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. I ROLLED DOWN ALL OF THE WINDOWS TO LESSEN THE ODOR. THE CAR STARTED AS USUAL AND I STARTED BACK DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WITHIN 3 MILES THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING. I HAD LOST SEVERAL GALLONS OF FUEL IN 3 MILES. I GOT THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND IT DIED AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK OVER. WHEN I TRIED TO GET IT TO START, THE IGNITION GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT STOP TRYING TO TURN OVER. THE CAR WAS LOSING FUEL AND WOULD NOT RUN AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE PART SEVERAL DAYS LATER. ON NOV. 11, 2016, AS I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR BEGAN FLASHING THE EXACT SAME WARNING CODES AS IN SEPT. THE CAR WOULD GO ABOUT 5-10 MPH AND I WAS STRANDED IN A 6 LANE INTERSECTION. I TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT, ONCE AGAIN. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I HAVE NOT HAD A SEVERE ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. SOMEONE IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ALSO, THIS SAME VEHICLE'S BACKUP CAMERA WILL TURN ON WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. WHEN IT TURNS ON, THE CAR SWITCHES OUT OF DRIVE, WHILE I AM DRIVING FORWARD. I HAVE VIDEOED THIS HAPPENING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ON AN EXPRESSWAY AT 65 TO 70 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN EVEN WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE SPEED CONTINUED DECREASING WHEN WE NOTICED THAT THE RADIO HAD ALSO SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE OUR WAY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE WITHOUT ANY MISHAP. THAT'S WHEN WE NOTICE THE ENGINE WAS ALSO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND WAS PUZZLED THAT THEY WERE NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. MY WIFE IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN REPORTING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LOANER IN THE MEANTIME. I WAS TOLD THAT MOST LIKELY THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT MUCH CONSOLATION, TO US WHEN WE WILL BE RETURNING TO FLORIDA IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND WONDER WHETHER THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN WHEN WE ARE ON EXPRESSWAYS WITH FIVE TO SIX LANES, ALL GOING 70 MPH OR MORE AND WITH LITTLE ROOM TO GET OUT OF THE WAY TO SAFETY. LOOKING AT OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES, WHAT IS MENTIONED AS THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE SWITCH, THE BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR, OR WIRING TO ALL THESE COMPONENTS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED AND REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 80MPH. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR THE ACCELERATOR STAYED IN THE DOWN POSITION AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. WE WERE UP TO 90 MPH. I PUT MY FEET ON THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO 70MPH. THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL STUCK IN THE FLOORED POSITION AND FIGHTING THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO MANIPULATE MY FOOT BEHIND THE ACCELERATOR AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PULL THE ACCELERATOR UP IT RELEASED. THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND WE WERE ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START. CHEVROLET TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR AND MODULE WENT 'BAD' PER THE DEALER. THE SENSOR MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK PER THE DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH ON SECONDARY ROADWAY AND THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED WITH THE DASH CLUSTER INDICATING THAT THE STABILTRAK SYSTEM WAS OFF AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE MID 30'S AND THERE WAS PRECIPITATION ON THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 25MPH. THIS HAPPENED AFTER A LONG HIGHWAY RUN FROM NYC TO CLEVELAND. I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP IN A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT I SEE SIMILAR POSTS AND I'M NOT SURE THIS CAR IS SAFE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL, THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AS SERVICE AIR BAG IN MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO SERVICE MY AIR BAG BECAUSE I HAVE PASSED THE 30K BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AN AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING OR DEPLOYING AT THE WRONG TIME. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME THE LIGHT WAS ON. THE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES AND THEN GOES OUT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THEIR AIR BAG ISSUES AND FIX THEM ASAP
