2015 Chevrolet Traverse

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET TRAVERSE AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP WENT OUT AT 59,520 MILES AND COST ME WITH HOSES AND FLUSH OF FUEL SYSTEM FROM KUNI CHEVROLET 3,051.85. I BOUGHT THE CAR MAY 7, 2016. POWER STEERING PUMP SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY STATED WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 45,183 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHEVY TRAVERSE AND NEEDS TO BE SET AS A RECALL. CAR WAS SQUEALING AND MAKING GRINDING NOISES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN MAKING TURNS OR CHANGING LANES, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL STEERING SYSTEM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO FERMAN CHEVROLET OF TAMPA (LOCATED AT 9751 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619, (813) 623-2411), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 8-4636845588. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DECELERATE, WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND NOTIFICATIONS THAT TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF, AND STABILITRAK IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ONCE WHILE DRIVING (STRAIGHT ON 25MPH ROAD) ONCE-MOST RECENT- WHILE IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER FIRST TIME, HAD VEHICLE SERVICED AND HAD A PURGE VALVE REPLACED PER COMPUTER ERROR CODE. VEHICLE IS AWAITING SERVICE AGAIN. TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE, SHUT OFF IS REQUIRED (TWO TIMES) BUT ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. WEATHER WAS FAIR BOTH DAYS-OVERCAST, BUT ROADS WERE DRY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A VERY WET SUMMER, PREVIOUSLY A WINTER WITH A LOT OF SALT AND ANTI-SKID TREATMENTS. VEHICLE DOES NOT TRAVEL MUCH OTHER THAN TO MY CHILD'S SCHOOL AND BASIC ERRANDS. ONLY IN MY POSSESSION 2 YEARS AS OF JULY.

MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING, I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. I TURNED BACK ON AND POWER STEERING WAS BACK. THE FOLLOWING DAY I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS LEAKING AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR AND NOW JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. I HAVE THE VEHICLE SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE SHOP AGAIN ON MONDAY.

HAD TWO TO THREE TIRES REPLACED DUE TO FLATS DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT CAUSED FLATS , TIRES CAN NEVER HOLD A PROPER INFLATION OF 35 PSI , SOME TIRES GO VERY LOW (27PSI )CAUSING PANIC TO MY WIFE AND FAMILY AS WE DRIVE VEHICLE . FLATS WERE NOTED WHILE DRIVING AS LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS CAME ON. I PUT 7/7/2018 ONLY TO ACCESS DATES COULD FOLLOW CHEVY SERVICE DEPT

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT HAVE INVOLVED SERVICE STABILITREK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COMING ON ALONG WITH ENGINE POWER REDUCING WARNING. I'VE LOST POWER AND HAD SPEED DRAMATICALLY REDUCE PUTTING ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND VEHICLE SLOWS TO A STOP. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 40 MPH, SECOND TIME I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE FREEWAY AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I LOST STEERING IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER PROBLEMS MENTIONED. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT WILL BE GOING BACK TOMORROW AS MY HUSBAND HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN TONIGHT WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME I TOOK IT THEY SAID A HOSE HAD COME LOOSE AND ENGINE MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THIRD TIME I TOOK IT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES INDICATING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THE CAR DID NOT ACT UP WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT FOR A DRIVE. CAR IS ALSO SHIFTING FORCEFULLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 65 MPH. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (LEMOND'S CHEVROLET BUICK & CADILLAC, 412 E MAIN ST, FAIRFIELD IL 62837, 618-842-2147) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY STOP, LOCK UP AND SHUTS DOWN, ALL POWER IS LOCKED. VERY SCARY AND NOT SAFE. ONCE IT STOPS IT WILL RESTART AFTER AWHILE. UNABLE TO TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF MY LIFE OR OTHERS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS PASSENGERS & DRIVER NEED TO PUSH IT TO A SAFE SPOT IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 11/1/18*JB
