I BOUGHT THIS CAR 6/21/2016. NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TIMING CHAIN. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX IT. I HAVE 106K MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HONOR THE RECALL AS IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AT ALL TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR QUIT RUNNING. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS CAR A YEAR YET AND THIS HAPPENS. IT'S NOT RIGHT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES. FROM SEVERAL MECHANICS I HAVE TALKED TO SAID THEY ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. THEY NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET.

I HAVE BEEN BATTLING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL 2018 AND NOW 2019. NOT TO MENTION THE STABILIZTRAK AND HARD TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE BEEN GETTING A MISFIRE IN ALL MY COILS. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STUTTER, DRINK HIGH VOLUMES OF GAS AND ALMOST SENT ME BROKE. I HAVE CHANGED EVERY COIL, EVERY PLUG, CHANGED THE STABILIZER, TENTIONER, BEARINGS, SWAYBAR LINKS AND MUCH MORE. I AM COMPLETELY DONE WITH CHEVY. THEY KNOW THIS MAKE AND MIDEL IS HORRIBLE AND WE AS CUSTOMERS NEED TO DO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS VEHICLE SOUNDS LIKE A TIN CAN WHEN IT STARTS. IT RATTLES AND STUTTERS WHILE DRIVING AND IT SHAKES WHEN STATIONARY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 09' TRAVERSE STARTED TO SHUDDER INTERMITTENTLY ON ACCELERATION AND THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT (SEL) CAME ON. I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND THE CODE WAS A P0302 (MISFIRE CYL). I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AND REPAIRED BY AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. ALL COILS AND SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH FUEL INJ SERVICE, PERFORMANCE RESTORE (OIL, GASKETS, ETC). NO DISCREPANCIES WERE NOTED WITH PREVIOUS COILS/PLUGS. THE CAR APPEARED TO BE FIXED. NO PROBLEMS WERE NOTED DURING AN 800 MILE ROUNDTRIP. THEN THE SHUDDERING RETURNED DURING NORMAL DAY DRIVING AROUND TOWN UPON ACCELERATION WITH THE SEL ILLUMINATING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK INTO THE MECHANIC, AND THE CODE WAS THE SAME (P0302). AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH BY THE MECHANIC, A GM TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS FOUND (#PIP5038B). I'VE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT, CASE # 9-5063655170.

THE REAR HATCH WOULD OPEN AND SHUT ON YOU. I OPENED IT AND HAD IT COME DOWN ON ME AND IT CLOSED ON MY LEGS. THE RECALL # 257343 WAS DONE FOR THIS BUT WAS DOING IT AGAIN. I WOULD THINK SINCE IT'S DOING THE SAME THING IT WOULD BE COVERED AGAIN....IT WASN'T. I PAID TO HAVE FIXED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
UNSAFE CAR TO DRIVE IN WITH MY KIDS. I HAVE NO TRACTION CONTROL AND VERY SPORADIC POWER LOSS! I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS GOING ABOUT 30MPH AND SPUN OUT OF CONTROL AROUND A CURVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THANK THE LORD NO ONE WAS HURT AND NEITHER WAS THE VEHICLE. I TRY TO TAKE OFF FROM A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND IT'LL EITHER TAKE OFF SUPER FAST AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, OR TAKE OFF SLOW WITH NO POWER AND ALMOST GET REAR ENDED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED 6 MONTHS AGO AND THE LAST 3 MONTHS HAVE BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING WITH ISSUES OF THIS VEHICLE. I'VE ALREADY PUT $300 INTO IT AND NOW IT'S SAYING TO CHANGE THE CAT CONVERTER. I CALLED THE #1 LOCAL SHOP TO GET A QUOTE AND HE ACTUALLY SAID HIS NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER HAS STOPPED ISSUING THIS PART TO CHEVY TRAVERSE BECAUSE OF ALL THE RECALLS! SO WHAT DO I DO NOW????? I AM A MEDICAL COURIER AND THIS TRAVERSE IS MY SOURCE OF INCOME. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED CHEVYS AND DON'T BUY ANY OTHER BRAND, BUT C'MON. I DON'T HAVE $3000 TO FIX ELECTRICAL ISSUES!! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT AND MISTAKE!! VERY UNSATISFIED :(
