SERVICE BRAKES
GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF A BRAKE PEDAL RUBBING NOISE ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT INFORM OWNERS ABOUT A REMEDY. THE SQUEAKY/RUBBING BRAKE PEDAL NOISE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR THIS MODEL AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS ON THE GM LINEUP. I AM ASKING GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BY DOCUMENTING MY CONCERN AS WELL AS ISSUING A RECALL SO IT MAY BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT CAUSES SOMETHING TO GO WRONG AND POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT, I FELT THE CAR SHUDDER, AND THE ENGINE DIED. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. DROVE IT HOME. IT PRODUCED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT WITH HIS ANALYZER, AND HE TOLD ME THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE IGNITION SOMEWHERE. I GOOGLED RECALLS FOR MY MODEL YEAR AND RECALL 14515B POPPED UP. NOBODY AT GM (TOLL FREENUMBER) OR THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MEMO EXISTS. IT DESCRIBES PERFECTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RECALL (14007) REPAIR WAS SUPPOSEDLY DONE MAY 2014 AT JEFF GORDON CHEVROLET IN WILMINGTON, NC. CAR WAS PUT IN THE SHOP OCTOBER 2017 AT SAME PLACE FOR SAME PROBLEM THAT PROMPTED A RECALL, INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING. EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED REPAIR THIS TIME. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED AND PROBLEM FIXED, ACCORDING TO JEFF GORDON CHEVROLET. JUNE 27, 2018 - WE RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH FUEL GAUGE SHOWED A QUARTER OF TANK REMAINED. CAR SHUT OFF. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT IN MOTION. WE WERE SITTING IN A CUSTOMER'S DRIVEWAY. JEFF GORDON CHEVROLET WILL NOT COVER REPAIR, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WE ARE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. HOW CAN AN OBVIOUS ISSUE THAT WAS PART OF A RECALL NOT CONTINUE TO BE COVERED?

AIR BAGS
IN 8/2017 I TOOK MY 2014 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH 42K MILES TO SHOP FOR SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT THAT CAME ON. SINCE THAT TIME, IN THE PAST 10MONTHS I HAVE HAD AT DEALER 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME THING. I CURRENTLY AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND CANNOT GET CHEVROLET TO CALL ME BACK TO FIX AIRBAG ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGE AND NO REPLY FROM CHEVY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS PUTTING MY FAMILIES SAFETY AT RISK. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED PROPERLY IN THE 6 TIMES IT HAS BEEN AT A GM DEALER NOR THE FACT CHEVY DOES NOT CARE AND WILL NOT CALL ME BACK. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO BUY BACK THIS CAR IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT CORRECTLY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS GOING THROUGH A DRIVE-THRU, AND LEFT THE PARKING LOT. WHEN I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN I HEARD A CHIME, AND A ' TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND SERVICE STABILITRAK' LIGHTS CAME ACROSS THE SCREEN ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. SO I DROVE BACK TOWARD MY JOB, AND ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE RPMS STARTED TO GO UP!, SO I STARTED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM 3 MONTHS AGO, AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY APPOINTMENTS FOR TODAY, SO I LEFT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TOMORROW. AS I WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND DECLINE IN SPEED, THIS LASTED ABOUT 2 MINUETS AND THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL, I PARKED MY CAR AT WORK, AND WENT BACK IN FOR 4 HOURS. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF, AND IT DROVE FINE HOME. HOPING THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX IT, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER! I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A WRECK TODAY! I HAVE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSE! I HAVE ALSO READ THAT IT HAS YET TO BE FIXED, I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY FOR THEM, AND NOW IT COULD HURT THEM! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THIS IS THE LONGEST IT HAS LASTED. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3-5 OTHER TIMES, JUST A SHORT 5-10 SECONDS AND THEN BACK TO NORMAL!

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
THE STEERING HAS A WHINING NOISE AND THE BRAKE HAS A SQUEAKY NOISE THAT BOTH FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE ISSUE ON BUICK ENCLAVE, SATURN OUTLOOK, CHEVY TRAVERSE AND GMC ACADIA AS WELL AS OTHERS. NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN ISSUED BY GM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REMEDY THESE ISSUES.

AIR BAG WARNING FOR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT COMES ON SOMETIMES, AND MAY GO AWAY WHEN A PASSENGER SITS, OR ADJUSTS THE SEAT, HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT ALWAYS GO OFF WHEN THE PASSENGER TRIES TO ADJUST HIS POSITION, OR THE POSITION OF THE SEAT. IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN IN MOTION, OR SITTING STILL, WITH OR WITHOUT SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DRIVEWAY, CITY STREET, HIGHWAY, EXPRESSWAY, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. WHO KNOWS, MAY BE A LOOSE WIRE, PRESSURE SENSOR, OR SOMETHING ELSE UNKNOWN. DEALER WANTS $105.00 JUST TO CHECK IT OUT. OTHER GM VEHICLES EVER HAVE AN AIR BAG PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SUBJECT TO RECALL?
