UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN IDLE OR PARK THE FAN MAKES A TICKING NOISE. I TURN AC OR HEAT UP OR DOWN AND THE NOISE CONTINUES AT TIMES THE NOISE IS LOUDER. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED AND THEY TOLD ME I THINK IT WAS THE EVAPORATOR WAS EMPTY SO THEY REFILLED IT AFTER I PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE FOR WARRANTY. ABOUT A YA LATER I HEARD IT AGAIN I WENT TO A FRIENDS SHOP THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING HE FILLED IT AND IT'S BEEN ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR AND IT'S MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING BUT YOU DO HEAR IT WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE WITH THIS. MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID NOW AND I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. WHAT OTHER ISSUES IS THIS CAUSING TO MY VEHICLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AND I ACCELERATED THE CAR UP AN ENTRANCE RAMP ON TO A 65 MPH HIGHWAY (INTERSTATE 40, DURHAM, NC) TO MERGE INTO MODERATE TRAFFIC HEADING WEST. THE CAR THEN BEGAN ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN DESPITE TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND PROBABLY REACHED 70 MPH. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH SLOWED THE CAR IN A SHUDDERING MANNER, BUT DID NOT DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, I BRAKED AGAIN, WITH A SIMILAR RESULT. TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY, SO I BRAKED AGAIN AND HELD THEM HARD, WHICH SLOWED THE VEHICLE. ON THIS THIRD TRY, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED, AND I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. IT'S NOT BEEN USED SINCE, SO ITS STATUS IS UNKNOWN. NO ACCIDENT AROSE FROM THIS INCIDENT.

STEERING
12/23/19 WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT BEGAN MAKING SLIGHT WHINE NOISES WHICH INCREASED DURING TURNING, TIRES SEEMED A BIT LOOSE WITH DRIVING, THEN WHEN PARKING IT WAS AS IF NO POWER STEERING AT ALL- CHECKED PS FLUID TINY BIT LOW, ADDED SMALL AMOUNT. 12/24/19 SAME PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING ONLY EXTREMELY MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN, 12/26/19 HAD CAR CHECKED BY MECHANIC OUR POWER STEERING PUMP HAS GONE OUT AT 81K MILES AND IN ALL PROBABILITY OUR RACK AND PINION, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR TRAVERSES, THERE HAS BEEN A SPECIAL SERVICE COVERAGE EXTENSION ( HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2014/SB-10056459-3388.PDF) THRU 100K MIKES FOR TRAVERSES 2009-2011, THOUGH WHEN I SPOKE TO REPRESENTATIVE SHE SAID 2007 - 2011 YEARS, AND THE PARTS THAT NEED REPLACING ARE THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBERS THRU 2015 TRAVERSES. THE 'REASON' I WAS GIVEN IS BECAUSE 'IT IS FOR VEHICLES PRODUCED IN 'SPECIFIC- UNDISCLOSABLE LOCATIONS' WHICH ARE IN 'SPECIFIC YEARS AND VIN NUMBERS' AND YET THE PART IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT IS BEING UTILIZED IN THE ENTIRE SPAN OF AT LEAST THE YEARS '2009-2015'. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL SINCE IT CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH YOUR STEERING AS WELL AS TIRE FUNCTIONALITY. WHY ARE THE YEARS PAST 2011 BEING DISMISSED? I WAS INFORMED BY BOTH OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLINE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR GM THAT OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EVENT. HOW CAN THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE BE EXTENDED TO COVER ADDITIONAL YEARS SINCE ALL OF THE PARTS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED ARE EXACT ONES UTILIZED IN EACH YEAR? THANK YOU.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SINCE AUGUST( AROUND 08/25/19), I'VE BEEN HAVING A SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFCATION WHICH I'VE TOOK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICES. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE A SENOR TO BE REPLACED AND PAYED FOR THE REPLACEMENT. SEPTEMBER ( AROUND 09/18/2019), THE SERVICE AIR BAG CAME ON AGAIN LESS THAN A MONTH WITH THE SAME NOTIFICATION. I WAS TOLD THEN THERE WAS A SECOND SENOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HERE I AM NOW IN NOVEMBER (11/20/19) WITH THE SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFCATION ON MY DASH BOARD AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING CHEVROLET ONCE MORE ABOUT THIS. I RESERACH THE RECALL BUT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I'M UNSURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE LIGHT EITHER POP UP AT THE START OF TURNING ON THE VEHICLE OR DURING THE DRIVE. NORMALLY ON THE FIRST DAY OF NOTIFICATION IT WILL GO OFF AFTER SECOND CRANK BUT WITHIN 3 DAYS WILL RETURN AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS PART IS NOT A CHEAP PART PLUS ADDING DEALERSHIP FEES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WE HAVE 2 ISSUES. 1ST WAS IN JULY 2019, OUR POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT WITH ON 60,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TRAVERSES. 2ND CONCERN IS IN SEPTEMBER 2019 OUR VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION CAPABILITIES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE DISPLAY SAID HAVE STABILITY CONTROL SERVICED. WE HAD TROUBLE MAKING IT HOME AND AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW HOURS IT THEN RAN FINE. IT WAS LIKE A COMPUTER GLITCH ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH OCCURRED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WAS VERY UNSAFE. WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT 50 MPH ON A CLEAR NICE AFTERNOON AND SLOWED TO 25 WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS AND REAR EXTERIOR LIGHTING RETAINED WATER EACH TIME IT RAINED BETWEEN THE BODY AND BULBS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE WATER INSIDE THE LIGHT BULBS COULD CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BELLAVIA CHEVROLET BUICK (199 NJ-17, EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ 07073, (201) 355-2885) WHERE THE LIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED BEFORE THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,351.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING, MY REVERSE CAMERA CAME ON, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL TURNED OFF, ALERTS FOR PARKING ASSIST OFF, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAX. LOSS ENGINE POWER AND WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 10MPH WHILE FLOORING THE GAS. THIS HAPPENED ON A LOW TRAFFIC ROAD THANKFULLY OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE DIED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE ALERTS BEGAN WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL, THE ENGINE LOSS WAS NOTED WHEN I TURNED. APPARENTLY THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES OF FORUMS REGARDING THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TRAVERSE. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL? HOW MANY PEOPLE MUST DIE IN ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY ENGINE POWER LOSS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING?!

SERVICE BRAKES
I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON SIMILAR YEAR MAKES/MODELS IN REGARDS TO BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE FREQUENTLY HAS BRAKING ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL. IT OFTEN ALWAYS HAS NOISE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED THAT SOUNDS LIKE AIR BEING EXPELLED FROM THE LINE. THIS HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE RATES OF SPEEDS IN MULTIPLE DRIVING CONDITIONS; INCLUDING SLOW CITY DRIVING, HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, IN RAIN AND IN SNOW AS WELL AS DRY DAYS. THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2016. IS THE 2015 CHEVY TRAVERSE BEING INVESTIGATED AS WELL OR WILL IT BE? THANK YOU!

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE FIRST TIME MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEN ONE DAY WAS NOT ON. JUST RECENTLY ON 5/15/19 MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AT ALL. MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WILL NOT DISPERSE AS WELL WIPER ARM HAND WAS REPLACED LINES WERE CHECKED AND FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND STILL NO FLUID AVAILABLE WHICH AFFECTS VISIBILITY WHEN ANYTHING SPLASHING ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY ONE DAY WHEN I STARTED UP MY CAR.
