NHTSA Complaint #10629392 — 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TO CHECK POWER CHARGING SYSTEM BUT THEN IT WENT OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER MY AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF AND THE POWER SAVING MODE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED A FEW MINUTES BY THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT. LATER THAT EVENING I HAD MY HUSBAND FOLLOW ME TO A NEARBY AUTO SHOP TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT. THE AIR WOULD NOT EVEN COME ON AND I DROVE LESS THAN 2 MILES TO THE SHOP. NEAR THE AUTO SHOP AFTER HAVING THE CAR CHECKED OUT AND TOLD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE INTENT TO RETURN THE NEXT DAY SINCE IT WAS CLOSING TIME AND NO WORK COULD BE DONE. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE POWER FAILURE AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED ON A CAR LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 50,000 MILES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2012 TRAVERSE AND IS NOT CONSIDERED A FLAW OR CAUSE FOR CONCERN OR RECALL. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? *TR
