2017 Chevrolet Traverse

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving between the 1500 - 2000 RPMs the engine would begin to feel as if it were misfiring. The vehicle would seem to hesitate and jerk whenever accelerating as if there was a delayed throttle response. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer twice at which time the spark plugs and boots had been replaced. Sometime after doing so, while driving approximately 35 MPH there was suddenly grinding noise coming from the front-end. After slowing down to approximately 20 MPH, in response to the grinding noise, the vehicle suddenly jerked then stalled. There were no warning lights. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The vehicle was towed to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. Additionally, the engine oil pan was faulty causing engine oil to leak from the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

on approx 09-18-2020 I was driving from Chicago to Wisconsin Dells, when I was also there the Check Engine light come on, when i got off in Wisconsin Dells you could hear a knocking noise coming from the engine. the next day I had the vehicle towed to Don Larson Chevrolet in Baraboo, WI. they ran a check and informed my the the engine was NO GOOD, The vehicle only had 67,500 miles. GM said that they would pay 50%, but we were still stuck paying the other $4,000.00.

The electrical in the car is bad. I know others with Chevrolets and are having the same issue. The power windows nor doors work on my passenger side with the key or door controls. Also their is a squeaking noise when braking in my brake pedal. With new pads and rotors the car don’t stop smoothly, feel vibration in the steering wheel. The car is already having an error for the EVAP canister purge control valve. The car isn’t tht old to be needing to replace this already.

7/5/22 it has now been over a month since we started to have our car serviced at Ourisman Chevrolet of Bowie. On 7/3/22 while driving up a hill in our neighborhood the engine shut off, the brakes gave out, and the power steering stopped working. Had we been anywhere else my children, husband, and I could be dead from being in a serious car accident. This problem was confirmed by the dealer and reported to be caused by a "defective part" being installed. When I inquired about why there wasn't a recall for this part I was informed that it is a rare defect but they the service department receives a vehicle with identical problems every 3-4 months. We received no warning lamps, messages, or other signs that this was going to happen. During the week of Memorial Day we noticed the fuel gauge misreading and the air conditioning blowing warm. This problem was repeatedly reported. The air conditioning was repaired. The fuel gauge continues to misread.

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN MY 2017 TRAVERSE, WHEN I GO TO CRANK IT, IT'S TAKES A WHILE TO START AND THEN WHEN IT DOES START, IT IDLES REALLY HIGH. SOMETIMES IF I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE JUST CUTS OFF. TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE WITH MY FAMILY, THE ENGINE CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE I LIVE IN ATLANTA, GA AND OFTEN TAKE THE HIGHWAY AND I'M AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE CALLED CHEVY AND I AM WAITING ON A CALL BACK BECAUSE I HAD TO LEAVE A VOICEMAIL. I LOOKED FOR A RECALL AND COULD NOT FIND ANY. THIS IS VERY ODD CONSIDERING ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2017 TRAVERSE, BOUGHT IT WITH JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES ON IT BACK IN 2017. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THE CAR WOULD DIE ALMOST EVERY DAY. FINALLY GOT THAT ISSUE FIXED. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE WASHER FLUID STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID IT HAD A HOLE IN IT. I HAD IT REPLACED. A FEW MONTHS LATER MY ENGINE STARTS MAKING A REALLY LOUD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD GET SO TIGHT WHEN I TURNED IT, THAT I COULDN'T TURN. I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD IT HAD A HOLE IN THE STEERING PUMP AND A PIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE PUMP. I HAD THAT REPLACED. A FEW WEEKS LATER I'M GETTING GAS AND TRY TO START MY CAR AND IT STALLS. I TRY TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTS, BUT IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE STAYS ON E, EVEN THOUGH I JUST FILLED MY TANK UP. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW AFTER GETTING GAS. MY STEERING HAS STARTING MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN I TURN IT. MY ENGINE IS SO LOUD WHEN I'M DRIVING, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT A NORMAL SOUND. WHEN MY CAR SITS IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE IN YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE WHISTLING AND REVVING UP ON ITS OWN, AND THEN IT ACTS AS THOUGH IT WANTS TO DIE.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING ABOUT 18,000 MILES IT NOW HAS THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND IT'S STILL AN ISSUE. IT GETS SO BAD TO WHERE THROWS YOU FORWARD WHEN IT SLIPS. IT SLIPS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I'VE HAD IT INTO THE CHEVY DEALER MANY TIMES THEY SAY THAT'S NORMAL. HOWEVER A TRANSMISSION SLIPPING IS NOT NORMAL. THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING.
