2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Engine Problems

TRAVERSE CAME TO SUDDEN STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH NO WARNING. TOW TO MECHANIC WHO FOUND THERE WAS NO OIL. ZERO OIL LEAKS LOCATED; APPEARED TO HAVE BURNED ALL OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. TRAVERSE HAD 81K MILES AND WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AT TIME. ALMOST 7 THOUSAND DOLLARS SPENT ON NEW ENGINE. WE ALSO OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH 72K MILES THAT WE RECENTLY DISCOVERED HAD NO OIL ON DIPSTICK IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL, WHICH ONLY GOT IT TO BOTTOM OF DIPSTICK. WE HAVE NOW HEARD MANY EXAMPLES (FRIENDS/FAMILY) IN WHICH THIS IS HAPPENING TO CHEVROLET'S WITH UNDER 100K MILES.

ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. NO OIL IN ENGINE. NEVER HAD A LEAK, CHANGED OIL 2800 MILES BEFORE INCIDENT, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READ NORMAL, NO IDIOTS LIGHTS ON THE DASH. WHERE DID THE ALL THE OIL GO IN 2600 MILES?

MY COMPLAINT IS WHILE I'M DRIVING MY CAR IS IT LOSES ALL POWER AND SHUTS DOWN AND MOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK, LUCKLY I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE WRECKING. WE HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF CHEVY TRAVERSE.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH ON THE HIGHWAY AND A DISPLAY SAID SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM. PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF CAR. ATTEMPTED ONE RESTART BUT THE ENGINE SOUNDED ROUGH SO SHUT IT OFF IMMEDIATELY. CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC FOUND 3 CODES RELATED TO THE TIMING CHAIN AND METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL AND FILTER. ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY, BUT WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 9830 WATERVILLE SWANTON RD, WHITEHOUSE, OH 43571, (419) 877-7658) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURES RECURRED A THIRD TIME WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE FAILED AND THE STEERING SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO YARK CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE...

EMAIL TO JACK DANIELSON FROM CONSTITUENT REGARDING HER 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. *AS *JS *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SUDDENLY DRIVE ROUGH AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OR A BLOWN TIRE OR SOMETHING. I LOST POWER AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. THINGS BEGAN TO LIGHT UP ON MY DASH ABOUT THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM NEEDING SERVICING. THIS WAS TERRIFYING SINCE CARS WERE FLYING BY ME AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE EVEN ON LOCAL ROADS AT SLOWER SPEEDS SUCH AS 30MPH. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND FAMILIES ARE IN THESE VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE. I AM ALSO GETTING A CHECK ENGINE CODE FOR TIMING. MY VEHICLE IS JUST AT 70K MILES AND I USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER TO/FROM WORK AND PRIMARILY JUST IN MY TOWN. FURTHEST I DRIVE IS 20 MINUTES DOWN THE HIGHWAY...

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WITH OUR KIDS IN THE CAR ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE AIRPORT AND ONCE TO MY WIFE ON HER WAY HOME FROM WORK. BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AT 65+ MPH. DRIVING FINE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN VIOLENT SHAKING, AND LOSS OF POWER. CANNOT STEER AT 65 MPH THAT IS LITERALLY DEADLY. SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT COMES ON. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAD A 6,4,AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED AS A RECALL IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD. I WENT THROUGH 16 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ON A CHEVROLET FORUM ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE? FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT MAY NOT BE WORTH TAKING INTO A MECHANIC AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB JOHNSON CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 1271 W RIDGE RD, ROCHESTER, NY 14615, (866) 915-9664) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,500.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRAVERSE ON AN ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DASH SAID SERVICE STABILITRAC, ENGINE POWER REDUCED... JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I LOST ACCELERATION AND HAD TO TAKE THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID GETTING RUN OVER BY A SEMI THAT WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED! I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ISN'T A RECALL OR SOMETHING FOR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE!!

STABILITRAK/ TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT REASON. ABS BRAKES LIGHT COMES ON IN MESSAGE CENTER. VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND ENGINE IDLES ROUGH. OCCURS SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING DRIVER/PASSENGERS STRANDED IN DANGEROUS ROADWAYS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES AND IS SERVICED REGULARLY. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED TWO MONTHS AGO FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHERE AN ALIGNMENT TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. TWO MONTHS LATER, PROBLEM RETURNED.

I NOTICED THE CAR RUNNING A BIT ROUGHER THAN NORMAL AND ADVISED MY HUSBAND. THEN THE CAR TOOK A COUPLE ATTEMPTS TO START. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED THE ISSUE WITH AN OEM READER AND RECEIVED ERROR CODES THAT INDICATED IT MIGHT BE THE TIMING CHAIN. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO AGREED BUT ADVISED US THAT GM HAD A TIB WHICH EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH THEIR TIMING CHAINS. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GM DEALERSHIP. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS LOOSE AND ADVISED THAT IT DAMAGED THE ENGINE WHICH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $9000. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE ADVISED THAT, ALTHOUGH THE SAME ISSUE, THE TIB DID NOT APPLY TO OUR VIN. I HAVE CONTACT GM SEVERAL TIMES TO DISCUSS WHY THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM...

IN DECEMBER OF 2018 I TOOK MY CAR TO DIANE SAUER IN WARREN OHIO BECAUSE THE STABILIZER TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING VERY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO DIANE SAUER AND SERVICE MANAGER KEITH SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT. I TOOK MY CAR BACK IN JANUARY 2019 WITH SAME PROBLEM BUT WORSE. SO BAD I GOT OFF THE BY-PASS AND HAD IT TOWED. DIANE SAUER HAD MY CAR FOR TWO WEEKS AND NEVER CALLED ABOUT THE CAR. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY CALL THEM. AFTER TWO WEEKS THEY SAY THE ENGINE WAS GONE. KEITH TOLD GM IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE. I PROVIDED GM AND DIANE SAUER WITH ALL RECEIPTS OF MY OIL CHANGE. I BOUGHT THAT CAR FROM DIANE SAUER BRAND NEW!!! I TOOK CARE OF THE CAR AND AFTER SEVEN YEARS THEY SAY...

PURCHASED CAR USED IN DECEMBER '15. NUMEROUS TIMES CAR WAS DRIVING AND A WARNING WAS GIVEN ON DASH "REDUCE ENGINE OWR, SERVICE STABLITRAK". CAR WAS TAKENTO MARTY FELDMAN IN LIVONIA, MI (MAY 17)AND PER INSPECTION STATED NEEDED NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. PROBLEMS PERSISTED WITH SAID VEHICLE FAST FWD TO MARCH 2019 CAR WILL NOT START AT ALL. VICTORY CHEVY IN MILAN, MI STATED TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT NEEDS REPLACED. ONLINE A QUICK SEARCH FINDS THESE SAME ISSUES WITH THOUSANDS OF TRAVERSE N EQUINOX MODELS!!! A RECALL IS NEEDED

THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A NOISE IN THE ENGINE, TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. A WEEK LATER THE CAR STARTED TO DRIVE BADLY AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED WORSE. AFTER WORK I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START. THE NUMBERS ON THE SENSOR READER STATED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. WE GOT IT SERVED BY A MECHANIC AND THE TIMING CHAIN WHEN IT SLIPPED DAMAGED THE ENGINE. NOW WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRAVERS FOR OVER A YEAR AND WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE WE NOW NEED TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN IT. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURE WERE OF NO HELP TO US. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MENTION, WE DID HAVE OUR OIL CHANGED REGULARLY.

CAR BEGAN RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH WITH LACK OF POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND OBD SHOWED CODES OF P0016 AND P0017. VEHICLE HAD A BAD TIMING CHAIN WHICH WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $3200. VEHICLE SHOWS 66409 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

WHILE DRIVING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL THE DASH DINGS AND SAYS TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRAK, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 15MPH. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WITH THE KIDS AS IT IS UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED TO 20 MPH. ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND REDUCE POWER CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES WERE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT REGAINED NORMAL ACCELERATION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR. THE REPAIRS DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LOSE ACCELERATION. THE SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR FAILED AND THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTED REPAIR FOR THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT, WHICH ENDED IN 2017. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE DEALER WAS...

2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. CONSUMER RECOMMENDS ISSUING A RECALL NOTICE ON THE VEHICLE MODELS ENGINE. *AS *TR

ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED. THEN THE VEHICLE HAS VERY LITTLE POWER TO ACCELERATE OR NAVIGATE HILLS. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED TO ME, I PULLED OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND IT JUST WASN'T RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND I HAD VERY LITTLE POWER TO DRIVE FORWARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND "STABILITRAK" SUDDENLY APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. NEXT, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. FELDMAN CHEVROLET OF LIVONIA (32570 PLYMOUTH RD, LIVONIA, MI) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *DT*JB

THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN IT WILL GIVE YOU A MISFIRE IN ONE OF THE CYLINDERS. ALSO THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO ALMOST SHUT DOWN. THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE CAR ALSO FEELS FUNNY. MY MECHANIC HAS CHECKED EVERYTHING AND CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE STUFF THAT I DESCRIBE BEFORE IS THE LATEST THINGS TO OCCUR.. I HAVE COMPLAINED FOR A LONG TIME NOW ABOUT THE ILLEGAL TRACKING OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL OF MY VEHICLES. I HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THE MEDIA AND TO THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS HERE WHERE I LIVE IN GWINNETT COUNTY GEORGIA. THIS ILLEGAL TRACKING IS BEING DONE FOR THE PURPOSE OF GANG STALKING.....THE TRACKING INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE AND ALL MY OTHER VEHICLES HAS BEEN SHARED WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE OFF RAMP OF THE HIGHWAY INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET CADILLAC (3855 EASTEX FWY, BEAUMONT, TX 77706, (409) 892-5050) WHERE IT WAS ALSO DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CHEVROLET ISSUED A REPORT THAT ENGINES IN THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE METAL SHAVINGS, WHICH COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT POINTED OUT KNOCKING NOISES TO THE DEALER WHEN SHE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,084.

I WAS DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, SHORTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED. NO LIGHTS. WHEN I BRAKE CAR, SEEMS TO TAKE LONGER AND THEN JERKS TO ENGAGE BRAKES. SHOP RAN CODES AND NOTHING CAME BACK.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR INITIALLY DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER AND SHOOK A LOT THEN EVENTUALLY CAUGHT UP AND DROVE NORMALLY. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AT HOME, IT SHOOK AGAIN AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE BEGAN LOSING POWER, AND TOTALLY LOST POWER, AS I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. NO NOISES, NO WARNING, NO MALFUNCTION LAMPS UNTIL VEHICLE STOPPED. ALL HAPPENED WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE. REPAIR SHOP SAID ENGINE WAS A LOSS DUE TO INTERNAL DAMAGE. THE SITUATION COULD HAVE VERY EASILY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE.

TIMING CHAIN. VEHICLE HAS SERVICE STABILIZATION SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGES COME UP ON DISPLAY. VEHICLE VERY SLUGGISH AND WILL SAY "REDUCE POWER" ON DISPLAY. DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT 55 MPH AND CAR GOES COMPLETELY LIMP. HAVE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF BUSY ROAD WITH WIFE AND KIDS IN CAR AND HAVE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP, NO POWER TO WHEELS. LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING FORWARD DOWN A CITY STREET IN TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. DEALER DID NOT SPECIFY WHAT PART OF ENGINE BROKE, BUT IT WAS A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND FAILED TO RESPOND. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO MOVE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A BUS TERMINAL WALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT, PASSENGER, AND REAR PASSENGER OCCUPANT SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. **TR *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPETE LOSS OF POWER. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,163.

WHILE DRIVING, TRACTION CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY WENT OFF, THEN AUTOMATICALLY WENT BACK ON. HAPPENED AS I WAS EXITING A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY ROAD. WENT OFF AGAIN, THEN IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN, CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE NEXT PARKING LOT. GRADUALLY RAMPED UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH. TRACTION CONTROL AUTOMATICALLY CAME "ON" BUT SO DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND IT WOULD DRIVE (BUT I DID NOT GET OVER 40 MPH OR FURTHER THAN AROUND THE BLOCK). CHECK ENGINE STILL ON. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE AS HAD BEEN ABOUT 15 MINUTES EARLIER.

THERE WERE MORE THAN A FEW OCCASIONS WERE I AM DRIVING AND MY CAR WILL INSTANTLY SLOW DOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND SOMETHING SAYING TRACTION CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP THE LIGHTS HAD WENT OFF AND THEY JUST LOOKED AT ME, SAYING THAT THEY CAN'T FIX SOMETHING THAT'S NOT THERE. IT'S SCARED ME BECAUSE IT DECREASES SPEED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE OTHER CARS OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING AND WE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I'M NERVOUS ABOUT MY CAR WHILE DRIVING IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY.

P0017, P0018, P0019, P0068, P0089, P0106, P228C 2012 TRAVERSE ALL OF THESE CODE ARE ON THE SCANNER. THE VEHICLE WILL SLOW TO JUST ABOUT A STOP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. LOTS OF LIGHTS COME UP ON THE DASH, TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAC, THE CAR IS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WILL NOT TURN OVER. GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I HAVE CALLED, CONSIDERING THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE ENGINES IN THE TRAVERSE MODELS. CAR ONLY HAS 83K MILES ON IT AND GETS OIL CHANGES JUST ABOUT EVERY 3000 MILES. FROM MICHIGAN

CAR LOSES POWER AND WILL NOT START. ADVANCE AUTO DIAGNOSTIC TIMING CHAIN

WHILE DRIVING ON A 50 MPH ROAD IN MY 2012 TRAVERSE THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED. THE MESSAGES "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED", "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" CAME ON. THE SUDDEN DECELERATION FOR APPARENTLY NO REASON WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS WELL. I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT 10 MINUTES LATER, WITH THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRING.

WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE THE CAR SUDDENLY WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. IT COULDN'T MAINTAIN SPEED ABOVE 40-45 MPH. THIS OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. I WAS ABLE TO BRING IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED SEVERAL ENGINE CODES (POO18 & POO19) AND RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AS THIS REPAIR WAS BEYOND THEIR CAPABILITIES. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHERE IS WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STRETCHED TIMING CHAINS, TIMING OFF BY 2 TEETH, SHOES & GUIDES WORN OUT, & 2 ACTUATORS WILL NOT PARK. INVOICE FOR REPAIRS WERE FOR $4461.57. THE VEHICLE IS 6 YEARS OLD AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 87K MILES WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. DUE TO CAR BEING PURCHASED USED, EXPIRED WARRANTY , MANUFACTURER REFUSED REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS DESPITE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ENGINE MODEL.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL DISENGAGED AND THE SAME TIME. IT ALSO REDUCED ENGINE POWER (IT ALSO SAID IT WAS ON THE DASH BOARD) HOWEVER WITH NO WARNING STARTED TO SLOW TOO QUICKLY WHILE I WAS DRIBING DOWN STREET WHICH SPEED LIMIT IS 50 MPH. AS I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME WHO HAD TO SWITCH QUICKLY TO NEXT LANE. ONCE I MADE IT HOME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND THEIR HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM... I NEVER SEEN SO MANY OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER... I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND ARE MOSTLY WITH ME WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD. LUCKILY I LEFT THEM HOME THIS TIME. AND NO ONE GOT HURT. HOWEVER, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN...I STRONGLY BELIEVE IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPEN ON MY...

THE VEHICLE HAS 86K MILES AND IS 6 YEARS OLD. OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE NOTICED A SIMILAR ISSUE AS OTHERS I HAVE READ ABOUT. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT GOES ON....THE DOORS LOCK/UNLOCK....AND THE ENGINE ESSENTIALLY DECELERATES FROM 60+ DOWN TO 30-40 MPH QUICKLY. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE ARE GOING TO TRY THAT AND IF THAT WORKS, GREAT. IF IT DOESN'T, NOT GOING TO GET ANOTHER CHEVY. THIS IS DANGEROUS...AND COULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

PROBLEM STARTED AT 48,000 MILES ENGINE MISFIRES, DROPS POWER WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED, SERVICE AIRBAG, SERVICE STABILIZER WARNING MESSAGES COME UP ON DASHBOARD ALONG WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AND REDUCED POWER OCCURS. CHEVROLET AND SERVICE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND VEHICLE AND CANNOT FIND ISSUE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS THIS COULD CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WHEN DROPPING TO TWO ENGINE CYLINDERS WHILE DRIVING

MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY IS 5 YEAR 100,000 MILES, WE HAVE 90,000 MILES AND OUR 5 YEAR ISN'T UP UNITL NOV 15, 2017. DEALER SERVICE MADE US PROVIDE 3 RECEIPTS FROM THE MAINTENANCE SHOP, THEN REQUIRED RECEIPTS UP TIL 2015 WHEN WE LAST USED THE DEALER SERVICE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR 12/2015. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED ON ME ON 1-95 WITH MY CHILDREN AND I, WE WERE TERRIFIED. DURING A SERVICE IN 2/2016, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A 20,000 MILE DISCREPANCY. THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ENGINE BUT THE A/C WAS NOT COVERED IN THE STANDARD WARRANTY. SINCE THEN, I BOUGHT MY CAR TO AUTONATION IN APROX. 12 TIMES. LAST TIME, I BOUGHT THE CAR OVER IN MAY, I DROPPED IN OFF BECAUSE MY CAR WAS SHAKING, GAS WAS COMING OUT THE PIPE AND THEN IT STOPPED AND RECEIVED MY CAR BACK OVER 24 HOURS LATER. WHEN I PICKED MY CAR BACK, I RECEIVED A ESTIMATE OF ATLEAST $3,000 AND WAS TOLD IF I WERE TO GET THE CERTAIN REPAIRS DONE TO THE CAR, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT, MY CAR WOULD STOP HAVING THE PROBLEM, WHEN THE CAR STOPS.

ENGINE ISSUES APPEARED AROUND 80K MILES. STARTED AS A PINGING SOUND WHEN DRIVING ONE DAY, WITHIN 20 MINUTES AND WITHOUT WARNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND POWER WAS VERY LIMITED. WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER, COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH DIFFERENT SITUATION IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPORTED ENGINE FAILURE AND "REPLACED 2 RODS." COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. NOT EVEN 1 YEAR LATER, AT 100,750 MILES, THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN. SAME SOUND WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. IMMEDIATELY PARKED AND HAD CAR TOWED AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE OIL PRESSURE LOW INDICATOR ILLUMINATED THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING AN ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OIL NOT TRANSFERRING FROM THE RESERVOIRS TO THE ENGINE AND METAL BEING PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO OTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING RESULTS WERE ALL THE SAME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH TWO SMALL INFANTS IN THE CAR GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND RAPIDLY LOST SPEED, CAUSING US TO SWERVE INTO THE DITCH AND OTHER CARS BEHIND US SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND NEEDED TO BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY. AFTER CONTACTING GENERAL MOTORS, WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, AND IN SOME CASES AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN GIVEN.
