Consumer Description
My 2013 Chevy Traverse LT began Very ruff Idling, Battery Charging system, Traction control, Stabilitytrak, and Check engine lights would come on. Smoke coming from engine area. Had Vehicle towed to dealer. The same day I got it back had the same problem. The truck cuts off while driving down the street almost creating multiple accidents. The first time this happened, I was on the expressway driving about 60 MPH when the traction control light came on, the truck reduced power and completely cut off while driving. An 18 wheeler truck that had slam on breaks to keep from rear ending me. This most recent time this issue came about, While driving on a city street, suddenly the truck did the ruff idol and cut off while driving. I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler again. Thank god these 18 wheeler truck drivers had the skills to make it around me. I am so scared to drive the truck. At this point i want to get rid of it but I'm scared someone else may get my truck and have an even worse outcome. I have had this issue so many times that I fear this will happen in a even more dangerous spot and this truck will get me killed in a really bad accident. I am Highly recommending that GM or someone look into removing this truck from the roadways of America as this is hazardous to all drivers driving safely down the road. My truck is currently being looked at by the dealer and GM. I am not looking to drive this vehicle ever again. Some of the issues has been: Code P0107 map sensor Alternator began smoking Stability Trak dashboard lights come on and engine looses power Traction control light comes on and truck cuts off battery charging system light comes ruff idol and truck cuts off Under hood Fuse box will short out and cause multiple electrical issues Purge Valve broken Power steering hose went bad Coolant hose connector broke 2 times in the same spot Please look into this issue with this model, this is very unsafe and dangerous for the road.
