Consumer Description

I NOTICED THE LAST FEW DAYS THE ENGINE OF MY 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE WAS SLOW TO START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, BUT IT WAS STILL HOLDING A GOOD CHARGE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I WAS DRIVING IT AT 35 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. FIRST TIME IT EVER HAPPENED. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS SLOW TO START. WHEN IT DID, I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A ROW. EVERY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL WORKING. I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I THEN DROVE IT TO A PARKING SPOT ABOUT 30 YDS AWAY. WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC / CHEVY WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH, YET NO RECALL.
