VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, SUSPENSION
DRIVERS SIDE 2ND ROW SEAT BELT DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY LATCHED. AT 100,000 MI POWER STEERING PUMP WENT, MONTH LATER LOST CONTROL OF STEERING, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE RACK. 15 MONTHS LATER THE SEALS IN THE RACK HAVE BLOWN OUT AGAIN. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE SAFETY ISSUE! THE DEALER DID NOT SEE AN ISSUE AS HE LISTED 3 OTHER MAKES THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. AT $1400 PER REPAIR THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE! ALSO INFORMED ONE FRONT STRUT HAS NO OIL AND THE OTHER IS LEAKING. MY CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IS A MONEY PIT. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT ON AN INCLINE WILL CONTINUE TO COAST BACKWARDS UNTIL YOU EITHER BREAK OR GIVE IT GAS, THIS IS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE.

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF DURING TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR WHILE MOVING. WORN TIMING CHAINS; TIMING CHAINS AND GUIDES REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF OLD CHAINS WHICH WERE STILL USED ON THE TRAVERSE BUILT IN APRIL 2010. CHEVROLET HAS MANY DOCUMENTED BLOGS OF THESE TIMING CHAINS BEING BAD BUT STILL USED THEM IN THEIR BUILDS.

AIR BAGS
VEHICLE HAS 140,000 MILES ON IT AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT AS WELL AS "SERVICE AIR BAG" SHOWING UP IN MY INDICATOR IS ON CONSTANT. MY MECHANIC IS STATING THIS FALLS UNDER AN EXISTING RECALL #15536, BUT YET MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THAT SPECIFIC RECALL SO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO REPAIR THIS. MY MECHANIC STATES THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS THE ISSUE. THIS LIGHT INITIALLY STARTED AS JUST FLASHING ON OCCASION, NOW IT IS ON SOLID, NEVER GOES OFF. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN MY VEHICLE. NO REASON AS TO WHY THIS WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOME AN ISSUE.

STEERING
WHEN YOU TURN A CORNER, PARK IN A PARKING SPOT, BACK UP THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ANYTIME YOU TURN THE WHEEL THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IT WILL COST OVER $2,000.00 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL. I DO NOT BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER MY TRUCK STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED THAN SLOW DOWN AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO CUT OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THAN THE ENGINE POWER STARTED TO REDUCE .WE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WE TOLD SEVERAL DIFFERENT CODES SHOWED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD STRETCHED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER LOOKING UP RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM OTHERS ARE HAVING WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WERE WILLING TO HELP. I WAS TOLD THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT BIG AS OF NOW BUT IN THE FUTURE IF THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THEM PROBLEMS THEY WOULD SEND ME OUT A RECALL ON IT. MY PROBLEM IS HOW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS DO THEY NEED BEFORE THEY RECALL TIMING CHAIN FOR THE TRAVERSE. I FEEL THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IF THE TRUCKS WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS. A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN BE HURT BEING THIS.
