2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Engine Problems

I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL THE VEHICLE GET LIKE IT EITHER LOCKED UP OR WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER ACCELERATION.

VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. COULD NOT ACCELERATE. STRONG CHEMICAL ODOR.

WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTO-STOP KICKS IN, WHICH SOMETIMES WORKS WELL. OTHER TIMES IT KILLS THE WHOLE CAR, SHUTTING IT DOWN COMPLETELY. THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER GOES BLACK LIKE THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF USING THE START/STOP BUTTON. SO THEN IT TAKES A BIT TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN TO GO. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US 6 TIMES NOW WITHIN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS THIS CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO WHEN IT SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES SOFT AND DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR. ALL THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY START BACK UP AFTER BEING STOPPED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

ON JUNE 20, 2019, I BOUGHT A 2019 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO DEFECTS. ON JULY THE 18 WE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, DUE TO THERE WAS A VERY STRONG ODOR WHEN INSIDE THE CAR. IT WAS CAUSING BLOODY NOSES AND BREATHING ISSUES FOR MY FAMILY. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT IT COULD BE TASTED. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES TO DIAGNOSE CAR AS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE TOOK IT HOME. ON AUGUST 1, 2019, THE VEHICLE STARTS GOING CRAZY WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES. WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS THE HORN, LIGHTS, AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS START TURNING ON AND OFF AND THERE WAS A LOUD UGLY SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAD TO BE PARKED TO AND I HAD TO GO DRIVE CAR HOME DUE THE UNSAFE CONDITIONS OF VEHICLE. AS...

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND STOPPED AT LIGHT. THE CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF. I HAD TO PUT IN PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. THATS WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RECEIVED AN ADVANCED DIAGNOSIS THAT STATED ISSUE WITH ENGINE/TRANMISSION SERVICE WITHIN ONE DAY. TOOK CAR IN 7/16 AT 7:30 AND GOT BACK THAT DAY STATING THAT CAR TRANSMISSION COMMUNICATION DROPPED. THE VERY NEXT DAY 7/17 AM, SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK THE CAR THAT AFTERNOON BACK TO DEALER AND IT HAD BEEN THERE SINCE. THEY STATE THEY ARE WAITING TALK TO GMC. NOTHING YET.

WHEN BRAKING TO DO A U-TURN AND NOT STOPPING THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND DOESN'T COME BACK ON RIGHT AWAY. AND IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FROM A CAR FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION. WE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT FIVE TIMES NOW.
