AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY 2015 TRAVERSE ACCELERATED TO 40-50 MILES PER HOUR TO MY HORROR. I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE INDY 500. THE CAR BACKED INTO A TREE IN MY FRONT YARD, THEN AT THE SAME HIGH SPEED LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND RACED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO 2 PARKED CARS IN MY BACK YARD. HAD THE 2 PARKED CARS NOT STOPPED ME MY NEIGHBORS FEEL I WOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE LAKE IN MY BACK YARD. MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF, YET THE ONE IN THE EMPTY PARKED CAR DID GO OFF. ALL 3 VEHICLES WERE A TOTAL LOSS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED GOING ABOUT 50MPH AND HIT A TREE IN MY YARD, THEN THE FRONT END LIFTED OFF THE GROUND AND THE CAR RACED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO MY FRIEND'S CAR. THEY BOTH HIT MY PICKUP TRUCK ALSO. ALL 3 VEHICLES ARE A TOTAL LOSS. FROM THE NEIGHBORS WHO OBSERVED THIS, IT'S A MIRACLE I WASN'T BADLY INJURED. ALSO I HAVE A TEAR IN MY ACHILLES TENDON ON RIGHT FOOT SO IN NO WAY COULD I HAVE MASHED ON ACCELERATOR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I OPENED MY POWER LIFT GATE USING MY KEY FAB. AFTER PUTTING ITEMS IN THE BACK, I PUSHED THE CLOSE BUTTON LOCATED ON THE LIFT GATE. I THOUGHT I HAD LEFT MY KEYS LAYING INSIDE WITH THE ITEMS I HAD JUST PLACED IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. KNOWING THAT THE SENSORS WOULD READ THAT MY ARM WOULD BLOCK THE DOOR FROM CLOSING, I COULD RETRIEVE MY KEYS. AS IT CONTINUED TO CLOSE, I REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT RECOGNIZING MY ARM. AS I TRIED TO PULL MY ARM AWAY FROM THE DOOR, IT CAUGHT MY THUMB AND CRUSHED IT. IT REMAINED CLOSED IN THE BACK HATCH UNTIL HELP ARRIVED TO OPEN IT WITH THE KEYS. I WENT TO MY DR AND RECEIVED XRAYS. I FRACTURED MY THUMB AND AM CURRENTLY RECEIVING PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENT. I AM CONSTANTLY IN PAIN. WHEN I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS, I WAS BRUSHED OFF.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN EMITTING COLD AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE, AND WARM AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE AUG 2018. DEALER SAID REAR EVAPORATOR COIL LEAKING DUE TO CORROSION. CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. REPLACEMENT PARTS $1,254 AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 2 YEARS. GM NEEDS TO USE METAL PARTS THAT DON'T CORRODE, AS COIL IS LOCATED UNDER THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. POOR ENGINEERING AS IT WILL GET LOTS OF CORROSIVE SPRAY WITH NO WAY TO CLEAN IT AS IT IS SURROUNDED BY A METAL PLATE WITH SMALL HOLES. THIS PART SHOULD BE ENCLOSED SOMEHOW AWAY FROM CORROSIVE ROAD SPRAY. I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER, AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM TO ME BECAUSE OF POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN.

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT AT 59,520 MILES AND COST ME WITH HOSES AND FLUSH OF FUEL SYSTEM FROM KUNI CHEVROLET 3,051.85. I BOUGHT THE CAR MAY 7, 2016. POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY STATED WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 45,183 MILES.

STEERING
MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING, I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I TURNED BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WAS BACK. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR AND NOW JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. I HAVE THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE SHOP AGAIN ON MONDAY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT HAVE INVOLVED SERVICE STABILITREK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COMING ON ALONG WITH ENGINE POWER REDUCING WARNING. I'VE LOST POWER AND HAD SPEED DRAMATICALLY REDUCE PUTTING ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND VEHICLE SLOWS TO A STOP. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, SECOND TIME I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I LOST STEERING IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS MENTIONED. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WILL BE GOING BACK TOMORROW AS MY HUSBAND HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN TONIGHT WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THEY SAID A HOSE HAD COME LOOSE AND ENGINE MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THIRD TIME I TOOK IT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THE CAR DID NOT ACT UP WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE. CAR IS ALSO SHIFTING FORCEFULLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON.
