WHILE DRIVING MY TRAVERSE TODAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT TWICE, THEN WHILE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE SUICIDE LANE ON A 4 LANE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OVER REV RED LINING AS IF IT COULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE WITH 16,000 MILES ON IT. ON ARRIVAL AT DEALERSHIP I INQUIRED IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAD TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL AND MAKE CARS THAT HAD REPAIRS COMPLETED DUE TO A STRIKINGLY SIMILAR ISSUE. I'M REQUESTING THIS BE REVIEWED OR INVESTIGATED AS THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS ON FORUMS ACROSS THE INTERNET OF OTHER 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE BETWEEN 10,000 AND 20,000 MILES MEANING IT MAY BE A LARGER SCALE ISSUE THE CONSUMERS ARE FACING AND THE MANUFACTURER IS PUTTING US AT UNDO RISK BY NOT ISSUING A RECALL OR NOTICE REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION MANY OF US SPENT $45,000 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.

WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT LEVEL SURFACE THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. I PULLED OVER SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE NEXT DAY AFTER PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST. I TRIED PUTTING IT IN L AND MANUALLY SHIFTING AND IT STILL WOULDN'T LEAVE 1ST. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE AS IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING. IT JERKS THE VEHICLE AND IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER EXPERIENCES THIS IT WILL BE FATAL.

ON FREEWAY AT 75MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, EVERY TIME IT GOES UPHILL THERE IS A CONSTANT SURGING FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT FROM 8TH TO 9TH GEAR BUT IT DOESN'T SHIFT DOWN AND KEEPS SURGING. I SUSPECT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR SOMETHING RELATED TO THE COMPUTERS AND HOW THEY DETERMINE WHEN TO SHIFT WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE DRIVE "D" INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD FLASH. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE AND ON MORE THEN 1 OCCASION, THE CAR JERKED FORWARD. SOME OCCASIONS I WOULD HAVE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AROUND A DOZEN TIMES TRYING TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH NO LUCK. DEALER BELIEVES THEY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY HARD CODES WITH THE OBD2 TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE REPAIRS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ONE WHILE ON A HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. THE OTHER OCCASION WAS WHILE GOING AROUND 45-65 MPH ON A CITY ROAD. THE DISPLAY SCREEN IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER FLASHED ON AND OFF FOR AROUND 10-20 MINUTES. WHILE THE SCREEN WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF, THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT CHANGE ANY OF THE MENU SCREENS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A SOFT CODE AND NOT A HARD CODE, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING.

ENGINE
WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE AUTO STOP ENGAGED AS USUAL. HOWEVER, UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT WOULD NOT RUN PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH/JERK FORWARD THEN LOSE POWER OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT FELT LIKE WE WOULD GET WHIPLASHED FROM THE MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF OF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT IN ORDER TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP FOR ADVICE. THEY ADVISED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT IN ORDER TO RESET THE SYSTEMS. WHILE THIS RESTORED THE ABILITY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN 3 DAYS (THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT) TO BE EVALUATED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO JOE BOWMAN CHEVROLET CADILLAC (2455 E MARKET ST, HARRISONBURG, VA 22801, (540) 434-6731) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS DAMAGED. WHILE PERFORMING THE REPAIR, THE DEALER FRACTURED THE TUBE THAT CONNECTED THE FUEL PUMP TO THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THERE WERE THREE MORE FAILURES WITH THE FUEL PUMP THAT WERE CURRENTLY LINKED TO THE ENGINE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE TUBE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 79 MPH ON I-65 IN TENNESSEE AND ALL THE SUDDEN CAR STOPS WHILE ON THE DRIVE MODE. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS ON MY RIGHT LANE, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR BOUGHT IT 6 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY HAS 3200 MILES ON IT AND IT HASN'T EVEN WENT THROUGH IT'S FIRST OIL CHANGE.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
OVER TWO DOZEN AREAS ON THE POWDER COATED SUB FRAME AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS HAVE RUSTY WELD BEADS WITH FLAKING PAINT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION AND FILED A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET. CHEVROLET SAID THE RUST IS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AND NO REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETED. THE AREAS ARE INCREASING TO RUST AND I BELIEVE THIS MAY LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRAME AND STEERING COMPONENTS.
