NHTSA Complaint #10563660 — 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

DRIVING TO OUR WORK CHRISTMAS PARTY ON THE HWY THEN SUDDENLY 3 CHIMES AND "TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STEADILY TRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED" SHOWS ON DASH BOARD. WE PULL OVER TO THE NEAREST SAFE LOCATION. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MIN. THEN START AGAIN, WE DRIVE 5 MILES THEN THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. WE END UP HAVING TO PULL OVER ANOTHER 4 TIMES BEFORE WE REACH OUR DESTINATION. NEXT DAYTOOK IT IN TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP, CHARGED ME 100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. TOLD ME IT WAS THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACING , AND SPARKPLUGS AND INJECTORS NEEDS CHANGED. TOTAL WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT $1200, I DECLINED BECAUSE I WAS TOLD I HAD "BUMPER TO BUMPER" EXTENDED WARRANTY. COME TO FIND OUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED BY THIS "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT IS FOUND ON A LOT OF CHEVY VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON THESE VEHICLES FOR CHEVY NOT TO ACCEPT THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN HERE, AND THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE.....FIRST AND LAST GM VEHICLE WE WILL EVER OWN FOR SURE. *TR
