Consumer Description

I HAD CONTACTED CHEVY CORPORATE ON THE STEERING ISSUE ON MY CAR WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NEEDLESS TO SAY THERE WERE NO HELP. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BECAUSE OF THE STEERING ALONE. SINCE THEN I HAVE OTHER ISSUES WITH MY 2011 TRAVERSE. NOW THE CAR SHUTS WHILE DRIVING. IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF GM OWNERS OF DIFFERENT VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I GUESS THERE WILL NOT BE A RECALL UNTIL SOMEONE DIES OVER THIS. SOME OF THE ISSUES INCLUDED ALL 4 STRUTS WERE BAD UNDER 100,000 MILES, RACK AND PINION GOING UP, STEERING ISSUES, LEAKING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, 3 TIMES THE AC ACTUATOR HAS GONE UP, ISSUES WITH THE LIFT GATE FAILING, LIFE GATE ONE TIME INJURED MY FATHER-IN-LAW, TIMING CHAIN FAILING PREMATURELY, AND NOW THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL IS GOING OFF. THE VEHICLE SHUTS UP WHILE DRIVING! MY WIFE GOT STUCK ON A BRIDGE AND WAS PUT IN DANGER DUE TO THIS. NOW THE TRAVERSE SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE SAID A WARNING WAS DISPLAYED ABOUT REDUCING ENGINE POWER. THE TRAVERSE WENT DOWN TO 20MPG AND THEN SHUT OFF ON A BRIDGE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
