2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Electrical System Problems

The contact owned a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact discovered that the driver's side door, the driver's side seat, and the ceiling had caught on fire and was burned; the windshield was also cracked. The vehicle was unoccupied during the fire. A Fire Department report was filed the following day and the Fire Department inspected the vehicle and determined that the wiring was hot to the touch and could have possibly caused the fire; the vehicle was deemed totaled. The local dealer was not contacted. A Police report was not filed. The vehicle remained at the residence. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.

Two items: Item 1. Transmission switched to neutral by itself traveling at 65 mph. At about 5-6 seconds after the incident, transmission resumed with no further problem. This has happened 3 times. First time was mid 2022. Second and third times happened in late 2022. Appeared to be an intermittent problem. Took to dealership. It happened to a mechanic who drove the vehicle. Dealership thought they fixed the problem. A dealership mechanic, while addressing item number 2 below in 3rd week of April 2023, experienced the motor going into neutral. They had replaced the ignition switch to possibly fix item #2, and were test driving the car, when during the test drives, the motor went into neutral by itself two separate test drives. Item 2. While driving at highway speeds on a freeway in mid February 2023, the engine stopped (speedometer and RPM gauges went to zero). The whole dashboard...

The airbag light on the dash keeps coming off and on randomly. Stays on for a period of time or goes off after a couple seconds. Also for electrical, I was driving down Hwy and the vehicle died and turned back on within 5 seconds. Had to jiggle battery cables for it to come back on. I had two small children in the vehicle and I don’t feel it’s safe to drive any longer.

It happened 2 yrs ago in May. My kids and I were waiting in the vehicle and it cut off all of a sudden. My boyfriend checked it out and wasn’t sure what the problem was. The vehicle got towed. Mechanic said it was a bad ECM. Whomever sold me the vehicle had an Arcadia ECM. The mechanic from the dealership I took it to said it’s on back order. 6 months later he said there’s nothing they can do for my vehicle. So it stayed in my yard for so long. We bought a used ECM from a used auto part. Today my boyfriend had to go on YouTube just to figure out what’s wrong. He was under the hood almost the whole day and now it’s fixed. The only problem is the check engine light is on.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the electrical plug was damaged by the previous dealer who performed maintenance work on the vehicle. The contact also stated no warning lights were operable on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

I HAVE HAD ALL ELECTRICAL WORK DONE. THE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT ON MY TRUCK. I REPLACE THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS FREQUENTLY. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN I PUMP GAS. THE TRUCK STALLS AND DOES NOT WANT TO CRANK. I HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE AND IT IS DOING IT AGAIN.

I KEEP HAVING TO GET THE AIR CONDITIONING FIXED. I HAD ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL WORK DONE AND REPLACED AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT WENT BACK OUT. I REPLACED THE CONDENSOR. I HAD MORE FREON ADDED AND IT STILL BLOWS OUT WARM AIR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THE AIR TO NOT WORK. VERY FRUSTRATING! WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT STILL DOES NOT WORK.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TRAVERSE WITH 94,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD I HAD ' SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRACK, ENGINE POWER REDUCED' MIT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND MY VEHICLE I HAD TO LIMP HOME.

ENGIN BURNING OIL. ALSO SAYS CAT UNDER PERFORMANCE BAY 1 I HAD A MECHANIC FIR IT TWICE DUE TO MISFIRE ON 2 CYLINDERS. LIFT GATE ELECTRICAL ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES AND OTHERS IT GOES UP THE STARTS TO CLOSE HALF WAY UP. IV BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD A FEW TIMES. PASSENGER WINDOW WON'T ROLL UP OR DOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE. ALL ISSUES I WAS INFORMED WERE DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING ISSUES.

TRACTION CONTROL AND STABLIZER LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. RADIO COMES ON AND OFF.

ME AND MY WIFE OWN A 2010 TRAVERSE AND 2 DAYS AGO THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND SHE WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FEW SECONDS IT TOOK TO TURN THE HAZZARD LIGHTS ON, IM NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT ENGINE ISSUES ARE BEING SUBMITTED BUT NO ACTIONS IVE BEEN A LIFE LONG GM OWNER AND THIS IS A TURNING ME TOWARDS LOOKING ELSEWHERE MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR MY 3 CHILDREN HAD THEY BEEN IN THE CAR AT THE TIME THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP BY A GOOD CAR MANUFACTURER PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS

DIFFICULT TO TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS. WHILE I HAD IT AT DEALER FOR OTHER RECALL ISSUES I WAS TOLD THE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST AS IT WAS NOT A RECALL.I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION. I ASKED IF THAT WERE THE CASE WHY GM DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR IT.A CAR THAT WAS ONLY 3 YRS. OLD AND UNDER 60,000MI. SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.I GOOGLED WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO GO OUT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME FRAME AND READ THAT MOST LIKELY IT WAS NOT GREASED OR ASSEMBLED PROPERLY! A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAD TO REPLACE HERS AT HER COST. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS A DANGEROUS DRIVING PROBLEM. AS FAR AS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING THE BACK SEAT HEAT CONTROL WILL SOMETIMES JUST RANDOMLY...

MY VEHICLE BEING TRACK BY LAW ENFORCEMENT-MAPPING AND STOP AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK UNDER DIFFERENT VECHILE CODES EBD,EPS,TRAC AND RADIO WAVES BY TELCOMMUNCATIONERS CODING MY CAR MOST RECENTLY STOP ON 7-13-2020 .THIS IS MY COMPLAINT FOR INVESTIGATION. MY TAG IS RTT0049.

IT'S DRIVABLE JUST I NOTICED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIKE DASHBOARD RADIO GO DIM OCCASIONALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE MAYBE TAKE A HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR FOR THE LIGHTS TO GO REGULAR AND IF I HAVE THE RADIO AT HIGH VOLUME WHILE DRIVING AND I DECREASE SPEED THE VOLUME LOWERS ITSELF JUST A CONCERN THAT IT MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON BUT NO RECALLS FOR IT. *TR

MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES. FIRST THE DVD PLAYER WENT OUT THEN THE AIR AND HEAT QUIT BLOWING, DURING THIS THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY LOSE POWER COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING BUT COULD BE BUMPED BACK ON BY JAMMING ON THE GAS OR RESTARTING THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED LOCKING IN MY KEY AND SETTING OFF THE ANTI THEFT ELECTRIC LOCKDOWN. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SOME OF THE ISSUES STOPPED BRIEFLY (THE ANTI THEFT AND POWER LOSS) BUT THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED WITHIN A MONTH AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER START OR ALLOW THE BATTERY TO CHARGE VIA JUMP OR CHARGE PACK.

ON JAN 4 2020 I WAS DRY ON THE EXPRESSWAY DOING 70 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN MY CAR MADE A DING NOISE AND MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS OFF THEN IT SAID IT WAS POWERING DOWN AND THEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF NOWHERE THAT HAPPENED I READ THAT GMC HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS QITH THE SAME SITUATION. I WAS VERY SCARED AND VERY EMOTIONAL AND I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED THIS IS A REALLY BAD SAFETY PROBLEM AND I READ THAT TTHAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENED TOO

THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS INTERMITTENTLY GOING INTO "LOW ENGINE" MODE, WARNING BLINKS FOR ONLY A SECOND THEN THE CAR WILL NOT GO MORE THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS TO ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS- IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING ON THE FREEWAY? DOES THIS ISSUE NEED TO RESULT IN A DEATH BEFORE IT IS LOOKED INTO BY THE COMPANY? THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEARS- HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO WARNING SIGNS WHATSOEVER. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN I GO ABOVE 40 MPH, THE THE RPMS GOES TO 9+OFF THE CHARTS AND I CANNOT GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR. SINCE IT HAPPENS ONLY RANDOMLY MECHANICS HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING ISSUE SINCE IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS FOR THEM. OUR LAST VISIT SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT AT A PRICE THAT IS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR, THAT IS HARD TO STOMACH. LOTS...

STABILITRAK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS MANY OF THE WINDOWS, ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT AND STABILITRAK COMES ON, ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THERE IS LOSS OF POWER THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECOND, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR TWO YEARS IN MY TRAVERSE AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHY. FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, WHEN FILLING THE TANK WE HAVE TO TURN ALL ELECTRONICS OFF AND THEN AFTER THE FILL WE HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL AND COAX IT INTO STARTING. AGAIN, LOCAL MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THAT WON'T COST A FORTUNE, SO ADVISED TO CONTINUE DRIVING IF WHAT WE DO WORKS. FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON PERIODICALLY AND THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS REALLY COLD. AT FIRST NOTHING ELSE HAPPENED, BUT THE LAST THREE TIMES WE DID LOSE POWER. I WENT DOWN TO 40MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THEN AT 21 BELOW LAST NIGHT WE COULDN'T GO OVER 10-15 MPH. AFTER TURNING THE CAR...

IT STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING AND KEYS GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION MULTIPLE TIMES . ACCELERATES ITSELF OR FAILS TO PICK UP THE SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MANY FIXED AND THEY GO RIGHT IN THE SAME PROBLEM.

DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK/LOCK AND THEN THE CAR SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RPM GOES TO ABOUT 7,000. THIS HAS KILLED THE ENGINE TWICE. GM HAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER 8-423-8930914. TCM, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND NEUTRAL SWITCH HAD BEEN REPLACED AND NO CHANGE. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS - 75, 55,40,8MPH AND STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 30 TIMES IN THE 34 DAYS THAT WE HAVE OWNED IT. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES.

ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO ONE ATTEMPT TO GET INTO VEHICLE. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES WEEKS. ALSO HOOD LATCH LIGHT ON DASH COMES AND GOES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ERIC VON SCHLEDORN CHEVROLET BUICK (805 E GREEN BAY AVE, SAUKVILLE, WI 53080, (262) 284-8000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,847.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND AFTER LATCHING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IN PLACE, THE SEAT BELT ICON REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOR AT LEAST TEN MINUTES BEFORE IT WENT OFF. THE DEALER (AUTONATION CHEVROLET, 3707 WEST COLONIAL DRIVE, ORLANDO, FL 32808) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH ON THE VEHICLE TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED THIS EVENING IN MY 2010 TRAVERSE AS WELL AS SERVICE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL. AS I ACCELERATED MY FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WENT DOWN AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT WOULD SHOOT UP TO FULL. I AM ONE OF MANY TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE WITH SPECIFICALLY A CHEVY TRAVERSE.

I BOUGHT THIS TRAVERSE USED WITH ONLY 7,000 MILES. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR, THE RADIO AND SCREEN WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND OPENING THE DOOR. IT WOULD REMAIN ON EVEN AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION ON AND OFF OR OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN USING THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROLS, DESPITE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT. I HAVE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THE ISSUES WHEN RECENTLY ADDITION PROBLEMS HAVE APPEARED. FOR SOME REASON IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED OR PULLING A HEAVY TRAILER. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO PRESS HARDER ON THE GAS JUST TO MAKE THE VEHICLE GO. AS A RESULT, THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY. ALSO, SUDDENLY THE AIR CONDITIONER FOR THE DRIVER BLOWS ONLY WARM AIR WHILE ALL THE OTHER VENTS BLOW COLD. THERE IS A...

THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL NOT TURN OFF OR REMOVE DUE TO LACK OF SIGNAL FROM TRANSMISSION

GAS TANK DOES ACCURATELY SHOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT. THE FUEL GAUGE CONSTANTLY FLUCTUATES. I WAS DRIVING AND MY MILE RANGE SHOWED I HAD 54 MILES WORTH OF GAS LEFT. I MADE A STOP AND THE CAR WAS IDLING AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR IT SHOWED I HAD 89 MILES WORTH OF GAS LEFT. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I GOT THE LOW FUEL WARNING MESSAGE. I HAVE WATCHED MY FUEL GAUGE AND MILE RANGE GO UP INCREMENTALLY WHILE IN PARK. THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME ISSUE AS A RECALL WITH LATER MODELS AND IT CAN CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF MY CAR STALLS OR SHUTS OFF BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AS MUCH GAS IN THE CAR AS THE GAUGE STATES. SIMILAR RECALL BELOW WITH SAME EXACT ISSUES. RECALL SUBJECT : INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING REPORT RECEIPT DATE: APR 30, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:...

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN THE VEHICLE GETS WET FROM RAIN OR ANY KIND OF MOISTURE I LOSE ALL WARNING CHIMES, BLINKERS ON OCCASION, AND THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER AT TIMES. DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2009 WHERE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUED FOR VEHICLES HAVING FAULTY TIMING CHAINS BUT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS SOLD AS A 2010 I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHILE DRIVING AROUND A BEND WITH THE DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WHILE MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR ON A TRIP. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN FROM DRIVER SIDE. DRIVER SIDE TRIES NOT TO GO DOWN. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT DAYS APART. PASSENGER HEAT DOES NOT WORK WHILE DRIVER AND BACK HEAT WORKS. TIRE GAGE SAYS REAR TIRE PRESSURE LOW WHEN IT MEANS THE FRONT. WHEN AIR IS ADDED THE NEXT DAY IT SAYS TIRE PRESSURE LOW AGAIN. POWER LIFT GATE FALLING. THESE THINGS HAPPEN WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

STARTER FAILED; DIFFICULTY STARTING; INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY. HAD TO REPLACE THE STARTER; POSSIBLE RECALL. COST $482.68

ME & MY FAMILY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING 65 MPH, & SUDDENLY THE CHIME IN MY VEHICLE GOES OFF, & IN THE DISPLAY WINDOW IT READS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILITRAK & PARK ASSIST OFF. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT & I BELIEVE THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COME ON. THEN THE VEHICLE JUST SLOWS DOWN & WHEN I TRY TO PUSH THE GAS TO GO, IT WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON & LUCKILY I WAS JUST A FEW MINUTES FROM HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO GREG MAY HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED IT, THEY PUT IT ON THAT MACHINE & THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THAT SAME DAY I TAKE IT & THEY TELL ME IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. SO I DRIVE MY VEHICLE HOME & TRY TO COME UP WITH THE...

TOOK THE CAR RIGHT TO WALDORF CHEVROLET ON 2298 CRAIN HWY IN WALDORF, MD. THE DEALER COULDN'T EVEN GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THEY CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND CALLED ME AROUND 12:00 PM AND SAID YOU COMPUTER BOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IS COMPLETELY SHOT.

WHILE AT A STOP SIGN OUR 2010 TRAVERSE SHUT OFF. IT POWERED DOWN EVERYTHING, IT WOULD START UP AGAIN BUT WOULD SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES AGAIN. MY SON WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND NOTICED WHEN HE PRESSED DOWN ON A CERTAIN SPOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR THE CAR SHUT OFF.

JULY 1ST 2014: I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL AT WORK AND HEARD 3 DINGS, LOOKED AT MY DASH, SAW THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT FLASH, AND THEN THE CAR POWERED DOWN. I COULD NOT GET IT TO RESTART AND CALLED FOR A TOW. AFTER A FEW DAYS IN THE SHOP I GOT MY CAR BACK AND ALL SEEMED FINE. THEY CLEARED SOME "CODES". AUGUST 23RD 2014: I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING - WENT TO START MY CAR AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN. SAME AS ABOVE, CALLED FOR A TOW. A FEW DAYS LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK. THEY CLEARED SOME MORE "CODES".

WE CONTACTED GM AND RECEIVED AUTHORIZATION FOR THE DEALER TO CONDUCT A DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM. THE RESULT CONCLUDED THE "SDM" HAD FAILED. THE DEALER COULD NOT TELL US IF THE RECALLED CONNECTOR COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. WE WERE REQUIRED TOP PAY $300 TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WE FEEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. ESSENTIALLY, TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE TO OPERATE AND CORRECT A PROBLEM IDENTIFIED BY RECALL IT COST US $300. *TR
