NHTSA Complaint #10897118 — 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN APRIL 2016, WITHIN 72 HOURS I NOTICED IT WAS MAKING SOME HORRIBLE NOISES. MY FAMILY MECHANIC SAID THE IDLER BELT TENSIONER WAS BAD, MULTI MOTOR ISSUES, 2 FUSES WERE BLOWN, 2 BAD WINDOW MOTORS, AC WAS NOT SUPER COLD AND THE AIRBAG RECALLS WERE ALL STILL PRESENT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET SERVICED AND ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES WRECKED IT IN SERVICE AND NO ONE TOLD ME SO I FOUND IT WHEN I GOT HOME, THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR CLOSE TO 5 WEEKS TO REPAIR IT AND THEN TAKE IT TO AN AUTOBODY SHOP SINCE THE DENT WAS BAD ENOUGH WERE THE REAR QUARTER PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW THAT I HAVE IT BACK, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTI TIMES WHERE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IN THE RAIN. AND TODAY THE AC STOPPED WORKING. I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS THE CASE FOR EVERYONE BUT AFTER RESEARCHING IT, IT DOES APPEAR I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THESE CHEAPLY MADE "AMERICAN" SUV'S. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND ALTHOUGH I MAKE GOOD MONEY- I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH SAVED UP TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DEALERSHIP AND CHEVY.
