NHTSA Complaint #11328087 — 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR THREE CHILDREN TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. HER 2014 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH AND SHE WAS FORCED TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD, NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED AND SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AS WELL AS, THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT. JUST AS SHE MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. SHE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO START THE CAR, BUT HAD NO SUCCESS. AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF BEING STRANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH MY THREE CHILDREN, SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE TO THE NEAREST AREA TO SAFELY WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST FIVE MONTHS! WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS, INCLUDING THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AND SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO GET IT RESOLVED BUT HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS. WE WILL NO LONGER PUT OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHICH WAS THE REASON WE PURCHASED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ISSUED A RECALL. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS ALMOST KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFAULT IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR
