2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Electrical System Problems

This vehicle is notorious for multiple electrical failures. The alternator fried the battery fried, both of which were replaced. This vehicle still wouldn't start. The wiring harness to the PCM is notorious for having shorts. The pcm itself is notorious for going out really early. This vehicle is almost undrivable and it dies while you're in the middle of driving where you can't stop. I do not know how this vehicle has been kept on the market without being recalled. I do not know how more people haven't been in accidents because of it. And even worse, it's notorious for the airbags messing up. I think I would be more understanding if it weren't for the fact that this vehicle has been well maintained. It has regular maintenance. It's never overdue for an oil change or a fluid top up. I have children that ride in this vehicle and now...

Care loses connection shuts off while driving and unable to accelerate. Loses steering control

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that after turning off the vehicle, the engine was still running independently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that water was entering the hood of the vehicle causing the vehicle to have electrical issues and the fuse box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 132,000.

THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES WHILE DRIVING IT SEEMS LIKE THE BATTERY IS GOING DEAD OR IT DOESN'T WANT O TO GO ANYWHERE. TIMING CHANGE THE GAS GUAGE NOT READING RIGHT IT HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE

AS DESCRIBED BY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, OF OTHER OWNERS...OBDII CODES P0008 AND P0017, IN CONJUNCTION WITH "SERVICE STABILITRACK, AWD DISABLED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF". WE HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE SENSORS, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY(AND SENSOR), REPLACED DRIVER FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY (MAGNET THAT HAS TO DO WITH SENSOR CAME OFF). THE ABOVE TWO CODES PERSIST. PURCHASED USED VEHICLE WITH 118XXX MILES AND WITHIN A YEAR THESE CODES APPEARED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, WHO INSISTED IT WAS TIMING CHAIN, WITH ESTIMATE OF $2300. HOWEVER, SECOND AND THIRD OPINIONS DISAGREED...SUGGESTING SENSOR ISSUES, THROTTLE BODY ISSUES, ETC. WHY HAS THE TIMING CHAIN OR TENSIONER NOT BEEN RECALLED, IF THIS IS THE ISSUE? FORTUNATELY, OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT GO INTO LIMP MODE...HOWEVER, WE'VE BEEN TOLD THIS COULD HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF THE NHTSA WOULD DO A DEEPER DIVE AND GENERATE A RECALL. GOING TO ADDRESS CAMSHAFT BANK SENSORS NEXT BEFORE POSSIBLY...

DRIVERS INFORMATION CENTER DOES NOT WORK IN DAYLIGHT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING IS WORKING. SO IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR I WON'T KNOW TILL AT NIGHT.

MAIN WINDOW SWITCHES HAVE FAILED AND THE WIPERS DO NOT WORK ON THE HIGHEST SETTING.

SO FAR I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH MY SUV, BOUGHT A 2009 FOR 6,000 AND HAD TO PT 7,200 IN IT TO GET IT RUNNING RIGHT. I TRADED IT IN AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS BEING DIAGNOSED AT THANKFULLY. NOW I HAVE A 2011 AND STARTING TO HAVE MANY ISSUES UNFORTUNATELY. FIRST IT STARTED 3700 MILES AFTER I GOT MY 2011 BY LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A TURN AND ALMOST WRECKED 3 TIMES GOING TO THE HOSPITAL. I WAS ABLE TO PUT POWER STEERING FLUID IN AND GOT MY POWER STEERING BACK BUT IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IF I CAME IN AT 3500 MILES THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE PUMP AND WHOLE RACK UNDER WARRENTY, BUT THEY DIDNT. SO I GOTTA TOP IT OFF EVERY FEW MONTHS, NO BIG DEAL. SUSPENSION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, ROUGH IDLE,...

MY MECHANIC SAID MY TIMING CHAIN IS LOOSE & THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. ALSO MY RADIO GOES REAL LOW IN A HIGH PITCH TONE & I CAN'T HEAR IT SO THAT MEANS MY TURN SINGNALS ARE LOW & EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES A SOUND IS VERY LOW. ALSO MY WINDOW CONTROLS ARE ALL STARTING TO NOT WORK ONE BY ONE. I ONLY HAVE 89000 MILES ON MY CAR. MY MECHANIC IS TELLING ME I SHOULD GET RID OF MY CAR BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT CHEVY WAS A GOOD CAR.

THE SPEAKERS WILL QUIT WORKING WHEN IT IS EITHER WET OR COLD OUTSIDE. ASIDE FROM THE STEREO NOT WORKING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS ALL WARNINGS DO NOT SOUND AS THEY COME THROUGH THE SPEAKERS. WARNINGS INCLUDE BACKUP SENSOR SEAT BELT AND MUCH MORE.

MY SERVICE AIRBAGS FRONT DRIVER WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR NO RADIO NO BLUE TOOTH

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 75 MPH, THE MOTOR SIEZED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE MOTOR LOCKED AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE COMMENTED SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINEERING OF THE ENGINE SPECIFIC TO OIL. HE IS CONCERN THAT CHANGING THE ENGINE MAY RESULT IN THE SAME SITUATION GIVEN THE MOTOR'S DESIGN.

SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTER TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SMELLS HOT THEN START TO DRIVE OFF AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND ABS GO WILD THEN I PULL OVER TURN OFF THE ENGINE OPEN THE HOOD AND THERE'S SMOKE LETTING IT COOL THE KEY WON'T REVERSE OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THERE'S NO POWER AT ALL

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN AN INTERSTATE AND THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED OUT AND OVERHEATED MY CAR I HAVE DONE HAD EACH HOSE AND HOUSING AND THE THERMOSTAT AND THE RESERVOIR TAKE REPLACED IN IT ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT'S IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN IT STARTED AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY.

LESS THEN A YEAR AGO THE BATTERY GAUGE STARTED DIPPING BELOW 14V TO 12V PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY ONE DAY(BATTER GAGUE DID NOT DIP) AND COMING TO A LIGHT ON A 2 LANE SMALLER MAJOR ROAD THE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON CHECK ENGINE, STABILITRAK, BATTERY, ETC AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. FORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO CRUISE THROUGH THE LIGHT AND SOMEHOW EVERYONE WAS OUT OF HIS WAY SO HE COULD COME TO A STOP O THE SIDE OF A ROAD THAT THE SPEED LIMIT IS 50 ON. THE WINDOWS WERE OPEN COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. TOW CAME OUT AND HIS JUMPERS WERE ZAPPED. TRIED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET INTO N SO COULD BE FLAT-BEDDED TO THE MECHANIC. THE ALTERNATOR WAS FRIED, AND FRIED BATTERY AND MESSED UP AC. REPLACED ALT AND BATTERY AND OTHER PARTS THAT WERE FRIED. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER...

THE VEHICLES CONTROL PANEL DISPLAYS MULTIPLE ERRORS SUCH AS ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, PARK ASSIST OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, BRAKE (IN RED), ABS AND ALL THE GAGES GO UP AND DOWN, AUTOMATIC LOCKS-LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAYS. ATTEMPTING TO PULL THE CAR OVER, THE TRANSMISSION WONT GO INTO PARK. MULTIPLE TIMES IT WON'T START AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE FAILS TO GAIN SPEED WHILE DRIVING.

THE AIR CONDITIONER STILL FAULTY. REPLACED HOSES AND FREON. THE STRUTS STILL LEAKING FLUID AROUND TIRE AREA SINCE PURCHASED. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AT DIFFERENT FORUMS ABOUT THIS. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY ANF WHEN I HAVE IT TESTED IT JUST SAYS O2 SENSORS. THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR 1-2 DAYS AND THEN GO OUT AND REMAIN OFF FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AT A TIME. EVERYTHING IN THE CAR IS PLASTIC AND KEEPS POPPING OFF. I HAVE REPLACED SO MANY DOOR AND SEAT PIECES THAT THIS IS CRAZY EVEN DOWN TO REPLACING MOTOR MOUNTS. I LOVE CHEVROLET BUT THIS BY FAR HAS BEEN MY MOST AGGRAVATING AND COSTLY PURCHASE.... I USED TO GO TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER FOR SERVICE BUT I NOTICED WHEN I LOG IN TO MY CHEVY/GM PROFILE THEY DON'T LOAD ANYTHING INNTHE SYSTEM FOR CHEVY TO SEE YOU ARE REALLY MAINTAINING YOUR CAR. THESE...

2ND OWNER. AT 91K MILES WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BLEW OUT. COST $600 TO FIX. AT $111K MILES ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PARKED THE VEHICLE AS DEALERSHIP SAID IT KEEPS HAPPENING FOR 2011 TRAVERSE AND THEY ARE WAITING FOR RECALL. 6 MONTHS LATER DECIDED TO TAKE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED QUOTED $3800. ON WAY TO DEALERSHIP (20 MINUTES AWAY) GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR CAR STARTED MAKING MACHINE GUNS NOISES AND SLOWING DOWN. PULLED INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD AND PARKED CAR. CALLED A TOW COMPANY AND HAD THEM TOW IT BACK TO THE HOUSE. LUCKILY, OUR NEIGHBOR WORKS AT A MECHANIC SHOP AND CAME OVER. HE TURNED THE CAR ON AND IT SHUT RIGHT OFF. AFTER HIS EXAMINATION HE SAID MY ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND WOULD NEED TO REPLACE IT. ALREADY HAVING TO RESET THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NOW I...

I HAD TO REPLACE AN ENGINE AT 30K MILES DUE TO 'METAL IN OIL". NEVER ONCE MISSED AN OIL CHANGE AND NO WARNING OF ANY ISSUE UNTIL CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WHILE TRYING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO SIDE STREET.. AFTER REPLACING ENGINE HAD TO GET NEW WHEEL SENORS AS THEY WENT BAD 2 WEEKS LATER. ONE AND A HALF YEARS LATER HERE WE ARE DASH FLASHING SAYING 'SERVICE STABILITRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGIRE POWER REDUCES". CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ON. MECHANIC SAYS I WILL NEED A NEW ACCELORATOR PEDAL ALONG WITH THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR ITSELF AT THIS POINT IS UNDER 50K MILES. ALSO PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT GO UP OR DOWN WITH DRIVE SIDE DOOR LEVERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT ON HIGHWAY WITH 130,000 MILES ON IT WHEN MY TRAVERSE LOST ACCELERATION AND STALLED OUT WITH CARS FLYING UP ON ME AT 65-70 MPH,I FINALLY COSTED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND TECHS COULDN'T FIGURE THIS OUT , AFTER A WEEK OF SERVICE TECHS COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, I WAS FINALLY NOTIFIED BY DEALERSHIP THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH MOTOR AND ELECTRICAL AND IT'S NOT WORTH FIXING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO WITH THIS .

THIS IS TOWARD CHEVROLET AND ANY OTHER VEHICLE MAKERS THAT REQUIRE EXCESSIVE USE OF DEALERSHIPS FOR MINOR MAINTENANCE. I HAVE COMMUTED 40 MILES DAILY FOR 18 YEARS, I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED FORD VEHICLES AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH DOING MINOR REPAIRS MYSELF. WITH MY CHEVY VEHICLE I HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP OR REPAIR SHOP TO CHANGE A SIMPLE HEADLIGHT BECAUSE OF THE GREEDY DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THEY DID THIS ON PURPOSE SO THEY COULD MAKE MORE MONEY AT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SALES. IN THE PAST WHEN I DROVE FORDS IF MY HEADLIGHT WENT HOME I WOULD STOP A COUPLE BLOCKS FROM MY WORK AND POP ONE IN. I STOPPED ON EXIT RAMPS AND ADDED A NEW ONE MANY TIMED, KEEPING A EXTRA IN MY GLOVE BOX LIKE A PREPARED DRIVER. WITH MY TRAVERSE I HAVE GO IN AND HAVE THE TIRE TAKEN OFF AND THE WHEEL...

MY TRAVERSE HAS BEEN LOOSING POWER TRACK CONTROL CUTS OFF AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. AT TIMES IT DOESN'T SHIFT GEARS. WHEN THE TEMP GETS DOWN IN THE 30'S IT MESSES UP. CAN'T GO VERT FAR WITHOUT IT STOPPING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR.

'TIMING CHAIN'. RECENTLY ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS ON AND GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE LT 3.6L WITH ALMOST 113,000 MILES. I USED MY SCANNER AND CODES P0008 AND P0017 APPEARED. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT, 1. THE CODES ARE FOR THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN. 2. TONS OF CUSTOMERS THAT OWN THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR AS MINE ALONG WITH MANY DIFFERENT GM MODEL VEHICLES THAT HAVE THE 3.6 L ENGINE, ARE HAVING THE SAME CODE AND ENGINE PROBLEM. 3. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 120,000 MILES ON SOME OF THE 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE'S AND OTHER GM MAKES AND MODELS. GM ADVISED ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED AND I SHOULD BRING MY VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST GM DEALER TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO ADAMS CHEVROLET LOCATED IN HAVRE DE GRACE,...

DRIVING THE TRAVERSE STARTED TO SMELL WIRES BURNING IN THE CABIN DASHLIGHTS STARTED GOING CRAZY AND DINGING . WAS ABOUT A MILE TO WHERE I COULD PULL OVER SAFELY .. STARTED TO PULL OFF THE BREAKS AND STEERING SEEMED TO STOP WORKING AND THE VEHICLE DIED.. I NEARLY HIT BRIDGE PILLAR NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER OR STOP.. THE CAR WAS FULL WITH MYSELF 4 CHILDREN AND A NEWBORN.. I AM TOLD THE MOTOR IS RUINED AND NO ONE CAN PINPOINT THE OTHER PROBLEMS.. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE AROUND 6000$ WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN DONE BECAUSE HONESTLY I'M SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO FIX THIS VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT..

TAKATA RECALL, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE, RECALL NUMBER 14V266, FUEL GAUGE STOPS WORKING WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE, PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOES NOT ROLE UP WITH THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROLS.

STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE. PROBLEMS ERUPTED AFTER I FINISHED PAYING IT OFF. I HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 YEARS NOW AND 100K MILES NOW. FOR THE PAST YEAR THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. AT FIRST I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SPENT OVER $3500 TO FIX IT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. THE DEALER WAS ASKING FOR ALMOST $4000 STATING THAT IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE NOT FIXED BEFORE. EVEN A MECHANIC FROM THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING WITH SAME ISSUES. AT FIRST THE "TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM OFF" COMES ON THE SCREEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM". NOW AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON THE SAME MESSAGES APPEAR. JUST A WEEK AGO I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY CONTROL, AND SERVICE TRACTION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE OPENING THE LIFTGATE WITH THE KEY FOB, THE LIFTGATE UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHEN I WAS ON THE ROAD. STILL CONTINUE NOT TO WORK. WHICH IS NOT FUN TO DRIVE. HOPING FOR NO RAIN. NOT SURE WHY MINE DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL BEING ITS IN THE SNOW STATE AND THEY ARE REPLACING A PART. SO I AM SUPPOSE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF? ANOTHER ISSUE, OUR WINDOWS DON'T WANT TO ROLL UP BACK UP. OUR BACK RIGHT WINDOW HAS GOTTEN STUCK DOWN. THE BUTTON BACK THERE AND IN FRONT WON'T BRING IT BACK UP. WE HAVE TO TRY IT FOR LIKE AN HOUR, TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF, REAMING ON THE BUTTONS TO GET IT UP. IF THERE IS A SHORT CIRCUIT SOMEWHERE? WE CAN'T ADJUST OUR MIRRORS. ASSUMING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH ALL OF THIS.

TAKATE RECALL AFTER TURNING CAR ON IT DRIVING THE GAGES GO DEAD NOT WORKING AND AC BUTTONS WILL NOT WORK, THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT WILL GO BACK TO WORKING. AND IT TELLS ME TO SERVICE AIR BAG, SERVICE AWD.

WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 45 MPH MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY LOCKS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKED AND THE CAR SHIFTED SO HARD I AM SURPRISED I DID NOT WRECK MY VEHICLE WITH MY SON AND INFANT DAUGHTER. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DO THE LOCK SWITCHING AND NUMEROUS LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON MY DASH. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH NONETHELESS. I HAVE HAD MORE SENSORS, WATER PUMP ETC. THAT YOU CAN EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS BY FAR THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BY A CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICES TWO DAYS AGO AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON. I AM NOT EVEN SHOCKED AT THIS POINT. I AM SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE THAT WE ENCOUNTERED....

WHILE DRIVING MY TRAVERSE MY TRACTION CONTROL WILL TURN OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK WILL COME ON AND IT WILL SAY ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND WILL SLOWLY START TO SLOW DOWN. IF YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY TO HIT THE GAS AGAIN IT WILL SHAKE AND KIND OF STUDDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON A CITY STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CITY STREET WAS ON A CURVY ROAD AND THE HIGHWAY WAS A STRAIGHTAWAY. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION. IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF FOR 10-15 SECONDS AND RESTART IN WHICH SOMETIMES IT WOULD STOP FOR A WHILE AND OTHERS IT WOULD ONLY STOP FOR A MILE OR LESS. THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR IT HAS DONE IT AND BOTH YEARS IT HAS DONE IT IN THE COLD. LAST YEAR WE CLEANED THE WHEEL SENSORS AND IT...

THE HEADLIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE WIRING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED BUT RUNNING IN A DRIVEWAY. THIS CAUSED ABOUT 2000 IN DAMAGES TO THE VEHICHLE.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM DINNER WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING ON IT'S OWN AND THE CAR BEGAN JERKING. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE KILLED. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTED THAT THE BATTERY WAS SUPPLING ENOUGH POWER AND THE TEMPERATURE GAGE WAS NORMAL. AT THIS TIME, THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER, THE RPMS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY AND THE WINDOWS AND LOCKS WERE CLICKING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME (5 MILES), BUT THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED THE ENTIRE DRIVE. THE SECOND I WOULD LET ME FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE WOULD KILL. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID WHEN HE HOOKED IT UP TO THE MACHINE TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, THERE WAS SO MUCH WRONG HE COULDN'T ACTUALLY TELL WHAT WAS CAUSING WHAT. THE COMPUTER AND ENGINE BOTH WERE...

WIPERS STOP WORKING WHEN THE LEFT SIGNAL TURN WAS ACTIVATED, WIPERS WOULD RESTART WHEN LEFT SIGNAL WAS TURN OFF AND IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION. WHEN DRIVING WIPERS WOULD PERIODICALLY STOP WORKING AND WOULD RETURN TO FUNCTIONING WHEN LEFT WIPER WAS PARTIALLY ACTIVATED AND NOT PUSHED DOWN COMPLETELY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE, THE ALARM SYSTEM WOULD SOUND. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF THE ALARM SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE KEY COULD NOT BE TURNED IN THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IF THE KEY FOB WAS USED TO OPEN THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHEN RAINING WATER ENTERS INTO AC/HEATING BLOWER ACCESS PANEL AND ACCUMULATES THERE ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE BLOWER MOTOR TO FAIL. ALSO WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN WATER RUNS OUT FROM PANEL ONTO PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. HAD TO HAVE BLOWER MOTOR REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH NEW ONE. A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS NEEDED AS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE LTZ WITH JUST UNDER 75K MILES. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2014 BEFORE THERE WAS A RECALL. TODAY, I GOT OUT OF CLASS, PICKED UP MY CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL AND WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE. THIS IS A 2 MILE TRIP ROUND-TRIP. I WAS DRIVING PAST THE KIDS SCHOOL STRAIGHT AHEAD ON CITY STREETS DOING ABOUT 15 MPH, JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM OUR HOUSE, THE WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN TO BEEP AND THE DIC HAD SEVERAL MESSAGES. "ENGINE HOT A/C OFF" "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED" AND "ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE". IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE THE TRUCK. THE HIGH IN CHICAGO TODAY WAS 60 DEGREES AND I ONLY MADE THE ONE TRIP MENTIONED ABOVE. I PLAN ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW BUT I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS A PROBLEM PEOPLE ARE HAVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ERRORS POP UP FOR STABILTRAK/TRACTION CONTROL/ENGINE POWER REDUCED THEN YOU GET ABOUT THEN YOU LOSE ABOUT 20% TO 60% OF POWER. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING.

I TURN OFF REMOVED THE KEY. THE CAR ON(RUNNING) NO STOP, THE DEALER ONLY FOR TEST AND DIAGNOSE, $800.00 I CAN BELIEVE.. ONLY 48000 MILES THE SECOND OWNER.. 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE PLEASE NO,BUY ANY CHEVY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE ENGINE STALLED WITH OUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE DIC DISPLAY ERROR READS STABILITRAK NEEDS SERVICING, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT SLOWED ME DOWN FROM 70 MPH TO 25 MPH IN LESS THAN 20 SECONDS. I HAD TO GET OVER 3 LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC ONTO THE SHOULDER. THIS VEHICLE ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS WITH GM VEHICLES REGARDING THIS ISSUE. JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V266000 (SEAT BELTS) AND 14V118000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE TWO RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

JUST LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON THIS CAR YEAR AND MODEL, THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE BLEW HOT AIR OUT WHEN AIR WAS ON, THEN IT BLEW HOT AIR OUT BOTH BEFORE IT BROKE COMPLETELY. I AGREE WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS, THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN A 4 YEAR OLD CAR. THEY WANT 1500 TO FIX. ALSO, THE TWO PUMPS WENT OUT THAT PUMP OUT THE WASHER FLUID, THEY SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, THIS IS A FOUR YEAR OLD VEHICLE, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENING. THEY WANT ANOTHER $500 TO FIX IT. BOTH THIS ARE HUDGE CONCERNS GIVEN IT IS A 4 YEAR OLD CAR AND THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.

MY CAR NEVER COOLED WELL. THERE WOULD BE BURSTS OF COOL AIR AND THEN WARMER. IT WAS NEVER AS COLD AS OTHER CARS I RODE IN. WE BEGAN NOTICING A STRANGE NOISE ON ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT IN A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY HAD A MECHANIC JUST COME LISTEN, BUT NEVER HAD A REASON TO SEND IT IN FOR SERVICING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN FORMALLY ON 6-25-13 TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MISSOURI WHO FIXED THE CAR AFTER IT WAS HIT BY A DISTRACTED DRIVER AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS FAILED! NOTHING WAS FOUND, ALTHOUGH THE BODYSHOP MAN WROTE UP THE WORK ORDER WRONG AS A SURGING. IT WAS A STRANGE SURGING CLICKING ON ACCELERATION, BUT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS UNDER THE DASH. WE THEN WOULD NOTICE THE AIR WOULD WARM SIGNIFICANTLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. I ALSO TOOK IT INTO HAMILTON WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THEY FOUND...

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM MY MOTHER'S HOUSE, MY 2011 CHEVY TRAVERSE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST POWER. THE WARNING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" CAME UP. THIS MADE MY CAR GO FROM 45MPH TO 25 MPH AT AN EXTREMELY ALARMING RATE WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS TODAY, ALL FILLED WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY GM IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THEY ARE WAITING FOR MULTIPLE INJURIES OR GOD FORBID DEATHS BEFORE THEY REACT. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, AND HAVE PUT A LITTLE OVER 10,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED, AND YET, JUST FROM READING SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THE FORUMS I HAVE READ I FEEL LIKE I MAY BE AT A LOSS ON THIS VEHICLE. I IMPLORE...

ALL OF A SUDDEN OR VEHICLE IS ONLY BLOWING HOT AIR INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT WAS FOUND THAT IT WAS THE "BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR". THIS IS A $1200 DOLLAR REPAIR. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM HAS DONE NOTHING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE ALARM ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE TRACTION AND THE POWER REDUCED WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TWICE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, MY DAUGHTER AND THEN MY SON-IN-LAW WERE DRIVING THEIR 2011 TRAVERSE ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN SUDDENLY ITS SPEED UNCONTROLLABLY DROPPED FROM 70 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. MY GRANDDAUGHTERS, BOTH LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD WERE IN THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER PANICKED AND BARELY ESCAPED BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. AFTER MY SON-IN-LAW EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM A SECOND TIME, THE DEALERSHIP AGREED THAT THERE WAS CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND EVENTUALLY DETERMINED THAT AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION IN THE THROTTLE BODY WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AS A RESULT OF SPEAKING TO OTHERS ABOUT THE INCIDENTS, MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND BECAME AWARE OF THE FACT THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
