SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH. LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES OUT OF NO WHERE WHICH IS WHEN I NOTICED THE RPMS WAS AT 0. AFTER WE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY, WE HAD IT TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE THE SAID THE TIMING CHAIN CAME OFF AND RUINED THE ENGINE AND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COULD BE FIXED FOR AROUND $5600. THE VEHICLE HAS 65K MILES AND BLEW UP? ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR A VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WASN'T WARNED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS THIS KIND OF HISTORY AND GM DON'T RECOGNIZE THIS IS A PROBLEM!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE HAD THE 2001 CHEVY TRAVERSE FOR 1 YEAR NOW. BOUGHT IT USED FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THE TRACTION CONTROL/ STABILITRAK WARNING HAS COME ON NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEAR, BUT HAS COME ON EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS PAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO LOSS OF POWER LIKE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, BUT IT DOES KNOCK OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE READY TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS OFF AND ON. SOMETIMES DOESN'T GO OFF AT ALL UNLESS I HIT A BUMP. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRE BAG AND RECALL NUMBER IS 14030. I CALLED GMC ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT SEE ANY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE BUT ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE RECALL NUMBER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF IT CAN BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS RECALL. I CAN'T GETC A PASSING STATE INSPECTION UNLESS THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS ON THE ROAD. STILL CONTINUE NOT TO WORK. WHICH IS NOT FUN TO DRIVE. HOPING FOR NO RAIN. NOT SURE WHY MINE DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL BEING ITS IN THE SNOW STATE AND THEY ARE REPLACING A PART. SO I AM SUPPOSE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF? ANOTHER ISSUE, OUR WINDOWS DON'T WANT TO ROLL UP BACK UP. OUR BACK RIGHT WINDOW HAS GOTTEN STUCK DOWN. THE BUTTON BACK THERE AND IN FRONT WON'T BRING IT BACK UP. WE HAVE TO TRY IT FOR LIKE AN HOUR, TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF, REAMING ON THE BUTTONS TO GET IT UP. IF THERE IS A SHORT CIRCUIT SOMEWHERE? WE CAN'T ADJUST OUR MIRRORS. ASSUMING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH ALL OF THIS.

ENGINE
ANOTHER 2011 TRAVERSE WITH A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AT 82K MILES. DRIVING HO E FROM WORK ON A BUSY ROUTE AND WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING HORRENDOUS NOISES AND LOST POWER ALMOST CAUSING US TO BE REAR ENDED. HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. HAVE OPEN CASE WITH GM (8-4399513745) BUT TOO DATE NOTHING BUT RUN AROUND. VIN IS NOT IN PARAMETERS FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOW MANY TRAVERSES NEED TO FAIL BEFORE GM TAKES OWNERSHIP OF THEIR GROSS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MAKES THEIR CUSTOMERS WHOLE AGAIN - THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED. THIS HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AFTER REPLACING WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR , BATTERY AND CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AFTER SUDDEN POWER LOSS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE. THEY ARE BLAMING THE CONSUMER IN EVERY CASE AND REFUSE TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE. HOW MANY MORE WILL IT TAKE BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS IN AND MAKES GM DO THE RIGHT THING? IN THE MEANTIME ANOTHER CHEVY CUSTOMER LEAVING THE RANKS. I WILL LET EVERYONE WHO'S ANYONE KNOW THE TRUE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMMITMENT OR SHOULD I SAY LACK THERE OF.
