NHTSA Complaint #10552524 — 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SAN DIEGO TO AZ WITH MY 3 KIDS WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL MY WARNING DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE RADIO LOST POWER AND I LOST POWER STEERING. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 1 MIN AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT AWAY AND THE RADIO TURNED BACK ON AND THE CAR SEEMED TO BE FINE. FIVE MINS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED SO I EXITED THE FREEWAY IN ALPINE CA, AND DROVE TO THE ONLY MECHANIC IN THE ENTIRE TOWN. AFTER AN HOUR THE MECHANIC CAME AND TOLD ME MY KEY WAS BAD AND THAT THE COMPUTER WASN'T RESPONDING AT ALL TO IT. LUCKILY FOR ME I HAD THE SPARE AND HE TRIED THAT KEY AND IT TOO WOULDN'T START THE CAR. AT THIS POINT THE MECHANIC SAID I'D HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH HIM FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSING. I THEN RENTED A CAR AND HEADED TO AZ FOR THE WEEKEND. THE DAY AFTER THEY HAD MY CAR THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THE CAR STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM AND NOW THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER 2 DAYS AND $438.00 THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I CAME AND PICKED UP MY CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN I WENT TO START IT ONE DAY AND NO POWER, THE VEHICLE WASN'T RECOGNIZING MY KEYS AT ALL. I POPPED THE TRUNK AND LOOKED AROUND THE TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED FINE. NOW A MONTH LATER I DRIVE TO GO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AT NIGHT AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR 10 MINS AND IT WON'T START AGAIN. THE CAR HAS POWER BECAUSE ALL THE DASH WARN LIGHTS ARE GOING OFF AGAIN BUT IT WON'T START. I ENDED UP LEAVING MY CAR AND WALKING HOME WITH MY 3 KIDS AGAIN AT NIGHT. I'M SURE TOMORROW IT WILL START JUST FINE BUT I NEED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT CAN'T AFFORD FOR THEM TO NOT FIX IT AGAIN AND JUST HAND ME A BILL FOR THE TIME SPENT ON IT! ANY IDEAS????? PLEASE HELP I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO THROW AWAY, THIS IS A NEW CAR BASICALLY AND THIS IS CRAZY! *TR
