AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOLD BACK TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE THE AIRBAG SERVICE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURE WITH THE MASSIVE AIRBAG RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO. NOW MY CAR DASHBOARD IS GETTING VERY DIM WHILE DRIVING AND THEN BRIGHTENS AND AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY PROBLEM, WITH NO RECALL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITRAK: VEHICLE DASH SAYS "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND SHUTS THE ENGINE OFF WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING AND IN TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS CROSSING A BUSY SIDE STREET, ON 2 STATE ROADS, AND OTHER PLACES. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO, I CAN RESTART IT THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE UNTIL IT OCCURS AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. THE PCM WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AFTER 3 DAYS OF KEEPING THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME, IT WAS KEPT OVER A WEEK AND THE PCM WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURED WITHIN 24 HOURS AND HAS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL MY COMPUTER SYSTEM TOLD ME I HAD LOW AIR PRESSURE IN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND PUT AIR IN MY TIRE. AFTER EACH FILL I RECHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE THROUGH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND IT CONTINUES TO DROP IN NUMBER. I SPENT AROUND 20 MINUTES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT DIDN'T LOOK FLAT BUT MY VEHICLE WAS RECORDING IT WAS. I DECIDED IT MUST BE A COMPUTER ERROR AND PROCEEDED TO FILL MY OTHER TIRES AND VACUUM MY CAR. I PULLED OFF AND SOMETHING TOLD ME TO ASK THE GENTLEMAN GETTING GAS IF MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE LOOKED FLAT, HE SAID, 'NO, IT'S YOUR BACK RIGHT TIRE, I CAN HEAR THE AIR ESCAPING' SURE ENOUGH I COULD HEAR IT TO, AND COULD SEE A LARGE CRACK IN THE TIRE. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE HOME BUT IT GOT TO LOW AND HAD TO PULL OVER. SO MY COMPUTER SYSTEM IN MY NEW USED CAR WARNED ME ME ABOUT A PERFECTLY GOOD TIRE AND PULLED MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM A TIRE THAT HAD A HOLE IN IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND FEEL CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND COMPENSATE ME FOR HAVING TO SIT IN A BIG LOTS PARKING LOT FOR 2 HOURS WAITING FOR ASSISTANCE WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN HOME WAITING IN MY LIVING ROOM HAD I NOT WASTED SO MUCH PRECIOUS TIME FILLING A TIRE THAT WAS PERFECTLY FINE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE CAR HAS STARTED TO DO A SHIMMY AND THEN THE CAR COMPLETELY TURNS OFF AND WON'T START AGAIN. THERE IS ALWAYS GAS IN THE CAR, AND THE OIL IS CHANGED REGULARLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A SMALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BOX UNDER THE GAS TANK THAT WAS FILLED WITH DIRT AND GETTING POOR CONTACT. THE SMALL BOX WAS CLEANED OUT AND ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVE GEL WAS USED. THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 9 DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. IT HAS TURNED OFF MOSTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE LATEST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 11/6/2018

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
AC WON'T COME ON OR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING COMES ON, SOMETIMES IT SETS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE P0119, IF THE RECIRCULATE BUTTON IS NOT ON THEN IT LIGHTS UP AND AC COMPRESSOR SHUTS OFF, PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET EVERYTHING COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND RESTART THE CAR, SOMETIMES EVERY THING CLEARS UP BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL RESTARTS TO GET CAR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. HAPPENS DRIVING ON ROAD OR STATIONARY. CHECKED BATTERY BUT SEEMS TO BE OK, CHECKED FUSE BOX AND THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX IS LOOSE, THE HOLD DOWN SCREWS IN THE FUSE BOX APPEAR TO BE STRIPPED AND WILL NOT TIGHTEN, SHIMMED THE BOX TO THE FRAME TO PREVENT IT FROM SHAKING AROUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM LAKESIDE CHEVROLET IN ROCKWALL, TX AS A CERTIFIED USED CAR, IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SERVICE AIRBAG ISSUE BUT THEY DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. KEEP LOOKING FOR RECALLS BUT NOTHING YET. THERE ARE CONSIDERABLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM WITH CARRYING THIS VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER IS THAT THEY DON'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY FACTORY DEFECTIVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS GAGE/SENSOR IN THE TANK IS MESSED UP. THE GAGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE JUST UNDER 1/2 A TANK BUT WHEN I FILL UP IT TAKES ALMOST 15 GALLONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN 18-20 GALLON TANK. THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCE WHEN I HAVE HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT, FILLED TANK COMPLETELY AND THE GAGE TOOK OVER 48 HOURS TO RESET. I LOOKED TO THE GAS USED/LEFT DIGITAL READ OUT AND IT SAID I HAD USED 60 GALLONS ON A 1/2 FULL TANK. DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM IS AWARE BUT MADE NO OFFERS TO REPAIR.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES. THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR AS IT SUDDENLY LOSES POTENCY AS THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN THE MOTOR LOSES POTENCY, IT PUTS "TRACK CONTROL ON" AND "TRACK CONTROL OFF" RIGHT AWAY, AS WELL AS A SIGN TO SERVICE "STABILITRACK". I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY DID A COMPUTERIZED SCAN WHERE IT SHOWS THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE OXYGEN SENSOR, LOW AIR ENTRANCE, PROBLEMS WITH THE INJECTORS, LOW VOLTAGE PROBLEM, BRAKE SYSTEM OFF, ETC. IN CONCLUSION, A SERIES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR WHICH ARE NOT REAL. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS TO CLAIMS DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. TO THIS DATE, I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY RECALL OF THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 70MPH AND MY TRAVERSE STARTED SHAKING LIKE THERE WAS TRASH IN MY FUEL PUMP. THEN I GET A MESSAGE THAT MY TRACTION CONTROL ISN'T WORKING. THEN MY TRAVERSE LOSES SPEED (AND WE ALMOST GET HIT) AND THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO 20MPH. I MADE IT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND THE DASH READ STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. IT IS NOW AT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AS IT IS UNDER A CARMAX EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME HE COULD NOT EVEN GET IT TO CRANK AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS OUT OF GAS (NO. 100 MILES TO E) THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 64000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. I AM THANKFUL MY CHILDREN AND I WERE NOT KILLED WHEN WE LOST POWER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND UNACCEPTABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I RECEIVED AN ALERT THAT SOME 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSES HAD A RECALL THAT REQUIRED A COMPUTER UPDATE; HOWEVER, RESEARCHING MY VIN # SHOWS NO RECALL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL ELECTRICAL TYPE ISSUES THAT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS LOSING CONTACT WITH SEVERAL MODULATORS. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN MY POWER TRAIN MODULATOR, FUEL PUMP MODULATOR AND MY ON-STAR MODULATOR. I STRONGLY FEEL LIKE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT BUT I FEEL THAT IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I HAVE AN ISSUE THAT WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.
