ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED THIS EVENING IN MY 2010 TRAVERSE AS WELL AS SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL. AS I ACCELERATED MY FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WENT DOWN AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT WOULD SHOOT UP TO FULL. I AM ONE OF MANY TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WITH SPECIFICALLY A CHEVY TRAVERSE.

ENGINE
MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT TO HIGHER GEARS WHEN I ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. THAT SOMEHOW "RESETS" THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE BEHAVES NORMALLY AFTER THAT. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. FRUSTRATING THING IS THAT MECHANICS HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN ONCE. THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO ID WHAT'S WRONG. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. I'M TELLING THEM EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. AND THE CAR'S COMPUTER DOESN'T KICK OUT AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL KINDS OF ROADS. MY CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. IF I DON'T PULL OVER TO "RESET" THE ENGINE, I GET A HOT METAL SMELL FROM THE ENGINE. VERY FRUSTRATING....THE MECHANICS HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO START LOOKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. I'VE GONE TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY'RE ALL GRASPING AT STRAWS.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A SHOP, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE CODES INDICATE THAT YOUR TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT DOES NOT COVER THE 2010 MODEL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN CORRECTED WITH BETTER PARTS, BUT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THE 2007,2008, AND 2009 MODEL YEARS.

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILS WITHOUT WARNING WHEN MAKING TURNS, PARTICULARLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THEN AS QUICKLY AS IT FAILS, IT WILL RETURN AGAIN. THE CAR NOW HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT, BUT THIS ISSUE STARTED WHEN IT ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT, AND WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTEE. 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AS THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR IS PROPERLY FILLED. THE DEALER ACTUALLY TOLD US 'IT'S JUST TIME FOR A NEW CAR GUYS.' WE HAVE SPOKEN IN PERSON TO TWO OTHER OWNERS OF TRAVERSES AND THEY DESCRIBE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE MAY 2017 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WHERE THIS CAR WILL RUN PERFECT ALL DAY AND WHEN I SHUT IT OFF AND GO TO GET BACK IN IT IT WILL NOT START. IT IS LIKE IT IS DISABLED. BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MONTHLY AND WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS LAST TIME I WAS GETTING TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND THE MECHANIC HAD FINISHED FIRST PART AND ASKED ME TO START IT AND GOT NOTHING. ALL THE LIGHTS COME ON IT WILL NOT START TRIED SEVERAL TIMES HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF GARAGE AND CALL A TOW TRUCK AGAIN. DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. IN JULY WE REPLACED THE STARTER AND A BATTERY CABLE AND AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND PARKED IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING.

ENGINE
AT 68,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST ABOUT $3200 TO FIX. DOING SOME RESEARCH (OBD2 CODES P0008 AND P0009) THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE, SPANNING MANY MODELS AND MODEL YEARS.

ENGINE
MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS BUILT IN SPRING HILL TENNESSEE FACILITY IN 2009. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AT THE END OF FEBRUARY 2010. MY VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED PER MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTIONS, OIL WAS ALWAYS CHANGED, USUALLY AROUND WHIT 40% OF OIL REMAINING AND ALWAYS BEFORE THE OIL LIFE WAS EXHAUSTED. AT ~91000 MILES CAR DISPLAYED INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE SIGN WHICH BECOME PERMANENT AROUND ~94,000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO MECHANIC WHICH SHOWED MULTIPLE ERRORS, AFTER FIXING CAMSHAFT SENSOR THE CHECK ENGINE SIGN REMAINED AND MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAVE DRIVE CHAIN ERROR. THE ENGINE STARTED LOSING POWER, FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER I BOUGHT FROM, WAS TOLD CAR HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES INCLUDING CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND STARTER, RUSTED LEAKING Y-TIES BUT MOST EXPENSIVE WAS TIMING CHAIN AT ABOVE $2300. BOTH I AND DEALER CONTACTED GENERAL MOTOR CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE. AFTER TAKING MY INITIAL CALL, GM ASSIGNED CASE TO A SERVICE ADVISER WHO NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. SHE APPARENTLY RETURNED DEALER SERVICE MANAGER'S CALL AND ADVISED HIM TO OFFER ME $1000 DISCOUNT AT DEALER'S EXPENSE WHO ADVISED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT GM, AS MANUFACTURER OF DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. GM REFUSED ANY HELP WITH THE REPAIR OF VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THE TIMING CHAIN IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE..

STEERING
HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2010 TRAVERSE. EVERY TIME I TURN ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M TRYING TO PARK THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN LIKE IF THE VEHICLE HAD NO STEERING FLUID. IT'S PROBLEM THAT LOTS OF OWNER WITH THE SAME MODEL HAVE AND I THINK GM SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 78,000 MILES. DEALER INDICATED IT WAS THE DRIVE CHAIN NEEDED REPAIR ($2000-2500). THIS PROBLEM WAS COVERED BY SPECIAL POLICY #11340B ' SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT ' TIMING CHAIN WEAR " IN 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE MODELS. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD EXCELLENT MAINTENANCE AND CARE, USUALLY BY THE DEALER. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE AT ONLY 78,000 MILES.
