STEERING
WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS AND/OR DLE THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GOES OUT. THIS MAKES TURNS AND PARKING VERY DANGEROUS. THE FLUID IS FULL AND THERE IS NO NOISE FROM THE POWER STEERING ITSELF. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT OPERATES NORMALLY. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT WE WERE ON VACATION HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROX 6 HOURS AT ABOUT 70MPH. WHEN COMING OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS I SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY FOR A TIGHT RIGHT CURVE AND FOUND THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING. WE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND CHECKED THE FLUID. FLUID WAS FULL. PROBLEM PERSISTED AT LOW SPEED, TURNS AND PARKING. HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY NOISE OR OTHER PROBLEMS. I SEE THERE IS A EXTENDED SERVICE FOR SOME 2010 TRAVERSE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT APPARENTLY MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM I BELIEVE THE EXTENDED COVERAGE NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

ENGINE
RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS TRAVERSE 2010 LTZ FROM A PRIVATE OWNER AFTER 200 MILES ON THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TRIGGERED A FEW CODES P0008-P0017-P0420, UPON EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS AT FOUR DIFFERENT PLACES. FROM HIGH END AUTHORIZED CHEVY DEALERS TO LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THESE SAME ISSUES WERE RECALLED AND INVESTIGATED FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR 2009 ON THESE MODELS AND OBVIOUSLY IT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVE FOR THE 2010. WHY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS CAR YET, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE TO TAKE ACTION. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EMERGENCY AND FINANCIAL CRISIS WITH BIG CAR COMPANIES BEING BAIL OUT. PRIVATE OWNERS LIKE ME DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO COVER A REPAIR FOR OVER $3500. THIS WAS DEFINITELY MY MISTAKE BUT I WAS COMING FROM A LONG OWNERSHIPS LINE OF CHEVY CARS FROM CRUZE TO MALIBU AND NOW THE TRAVERSE . BUT THIS ISSUE IS JUST TOO MUCH . THE LIFE TIME OF CHAIN IT IS DESIGNED TO GO ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIFETIME. OBVIOUSLY THAT ISN'T HAPPENING FOR THE TRAVERSE 2010. PLEASE TAKE ACTION WE NEED A SOLUTION THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD ON THIS VEHICLES. *TR

VEHICLE WITH 110,000 MILES WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. HAS CODES P0017 AND P0008 REQUIRING A NEW TIMING CHAIN. TIMING CHAINS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR. WHEN DO MOTORS ONLY LAST 100K MILES? THIS KNOWN ISSUE FROM 2009 HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WOULD THEN START BACK UP WHILE STILL ROLLING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT LIGHTS IT SHUTOFF AND I THEN HAD TOBRESTART IT IT DID THIS ALL THE WAY HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SCANNER SAYS P0019 STATES IT'S THE CORRELATION N TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SENSOR. UPON RESEARCHING THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS IN PARTICULAR MOTOR. DOING THIS WHILE ON THE ROAD IS INCREDIBLE UNSAFE AND COULD HAVE CAUSE ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FIRST THE DVD PLAYER WENT OUT THEN THE AIR AND HEAT QUIT BLOWING, DURING THIS THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOSE POWER COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING BUT COULD BE BUMPED BACK ON BY JAMMING ON THE GAS OR RESTARTING THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED LOCKING IN MY KEY AND SETTING OFF THE ANTI THEFT ELECTRIC LOCKDOWN. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SOME OF THE ISSUES STOPPED BRIEFLY (THE ANTI THEFT AND POWER LOSS) BUT THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED WITHIN A MONTH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START OR ALLOW THE BATTERY TO CHARGE VIA JUMP OR CHARGE PACK.
