2018 Chevrolet Traverse

BOUGHT 2018 NEW. TWO DAYS AFTER DRIVING OFF LOT PASSENGER SEAT MELTED ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CAUSING SEAT FAILURE. GM FIXED FOUR DAYS LATER DRIVER SEAT SAME THING. WEEK LATER HEADLIGHT CONNECTION MELTED AND HAD TO BE FIXED SPENT A WEEK IN SHOP. STARTED CLAIM AT GM TO TAKE CAR BACK AFTER A MONTH OF RUN AROUND AND STALLING THEY OFFERED ME $250 IN ACCESSORIES AND DROPPED THE PROBLEM AS IT IS ALL FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DIAGNOSTIC BLOCK UNDER THE DASH MELTED SO THEY COULDN'T USE IT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. MOST RECENT THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT FAILED AND IT WAS BECAUSE THE CONNECTION MELTED AND THE LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED. A WEEK AFTER THAT I WAS DRIVING ON I75 AND HEARD AN EXPLOSION AND THE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT WAS BLOWN OUT OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE CONNECTION WAS MELTED AND THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE 29 SEPT 20 AND TODAY IS 7 OCT20 THE CAR HAS ONLY 21700 MILES ON IT. I HAVE AGAIN CALLED GM AND STARTED AGAIN THAT THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS AS THOSE LIGHTS ARE LED LOW VOLTAGE SO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS SURGE OF HIGH VOLTAGE AND NO ANSWER. ALL REPAIR RECORDS ARE AT THE DEALER AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE 6 ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN TWO YEARS BUT GM HAS DECIDED TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY. IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE CALLING GM AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS RESOLVED AS YET.

AUTO WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN PUT IN PARK. MESSAGE INDICATES 'PUT IN PARK'. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. ENGINE WILL GO OFF, ELECTRONICS STAY ON. WOULD DRAIN BATTERY IF LEFT ON. ALSO, BLUETOOTH CONTINUES TO DISCONNECT. BRAKES SQUEAK CONSTANTLY, FROM THE TIME IT WAS DRIVEN OFF THE LOT. CAR STUTTERS WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER MANY TIMES, SUPPOSEDLY 'FIXED'. I WAS TOLD TO TRY HIGHER OCTANE GAS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE INCREASING. WE HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL CHEVROLETS, THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE AS FAR AS PROBLEMS WHICH, AFTER 2-1/2 YEARS, HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL??? CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER, AGAIN. *TR

I HAD PURCHASE A 2018 CHEVY TRAVERSE FROM CURRY CHEVROLET IN THE SAME YEAR, I NOTICE A LITTLE SLIPPING WITH A LITTLE JERKING SOMETIMES A FEW MONTHS LATER AND THE SHIFT TO PARK WAS ACTING UP. I CALLED CURRY AND ASKED THEM IS THERE ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALLS WITH THIS MODEL, SERVICE DEPT SAID NO, THEN I HAD CALLED A DEFERENT DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THE SAME, AND I HAD CALL CURRY ABOUT THREE TIMES REGARDING MY THIS PROBLEM, SO I KEPT CHECKING MY VIN# ON CHEVY .COM NOTHING COMES UP. SO I WENT ON LINE TO FIND OUT I WASN'T ALONE REGARDING THESE PROBLEMS EVEN WITH LATER MODELS. THEN I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE TWICE TO MAKE SURE THE INFO I WAS GIVING WAS THE SAME, I HAD EXPLAINED MY PROBLEMS WITH THEM, SHE SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS UNDER MY VIN# AT THIS TIME, I WENT OVER MY WARRANTY WITH BOTH CUSTOMER REPS, BOTH WERE ACCURATE THAT MY VEHICLE IS STILL COVERED. I ALSO RECEIVED INFO THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT #18-NA-121. I AM HOPING THERE WONT BE ANY PROBLEMS CORRECTING THESE ISSUES, I AM PREPARED FOR A FIGHT GETTING A LAWYER AND GOING TO MANY NEWS STATIONS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WOULD YOU PUT A DEFECTIVE PART NOT ONLY IN MY MODEL BUT OTHERS WITH OUT SOLVING THE PROBLEMS FIRST ACCORDING TO OTHER OWNERS THAT HAD POSTED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE POWERTRAIN. I AM TRULY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET, AND TO THINK I LEFT FORD & DODGE. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILED ON VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE FAILED CAUSING EXTREME DIFFICULTY GETTING THE VEHICLE PARKED. STEERING RACK HAD TO BE REPLACED AND COMPUTER RE-PROGRAMMED. VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALER WITH A SIMILAR TROUBLE CODE FOR A FOLLOW UP TO THE ORIGINAL REPAIR. IT TOOK GM OVER 4 MONTHS TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PART MAKING US DRIVE OUR VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY STEERING RACK NEVER ONCE PROVIDING A LOANER VEHICLE OR BUYBACK OPPORTUNITY. *TR

SHIFT TO PARK ERROR MESSAGE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THIS PREVENTS TURNING THE VECHICLE OFF, LOCKING THE DOORS, ETC. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED ON SEVERAL THOUSAND VEHICLES. HOWEVER, GM HAS ONLY QUIETLY FIXED PROBLEM CASE BY CASE AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. A NATIONAL RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ASAP TO FIX AND REPLACE THE SHIFTER. POSES A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL SINCE IT INVOLVES A FAULTY GEAR SHIFTER.

3 RD TIME REPAIR SUNROOF -LEAKING ISSUE 3RD TIME REPAIR TRANSMISSION- TELLING ME TO PUT CAR IN DRIVE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF RESTARTED -ACCELERATED ON ITS ON WHEN VEHICLE IN DRIVE. ELECTRICAL PASSENGER WINDOW STARTING NOT TO GO DOWN MUST HIT BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS HAPPENING DAILY NOW. RIGHT FRONT MAKING A AWFUL SOUND 2ND TIME BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR. RADIO-AND XM NOT WORKING- BLUETOOTH NOT CONNECTING. THIS TRAVERSE HAS BEEN A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG NOW ELECTRICAL STUFF..

EXPORT VERSION ONLY. COUNTRY: COLOMBIA. 1. SHITF TO PARK. WHEN YOU PARK THE VEHICLE ASK YOU TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT IS ALREADY. DEALER IS WORKING ON THAT AS I WRITE THIS THREAD. TECH FOUND A RECALL OR BULLETIN FROM MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR OR POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT OF SOME PARTS 2. SERVICE STABILITRACK. IN MANY AND RAMDOM OCACIONS THIS SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND 20 SECONDS LATER GOES OFF. WHEN STOPPING AT A LIGHT. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE AND NO FIX YET 3. FUEL ECONOMY SYSTEM, IT DOES NOT WORK RIGHT NOW, AND IT HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN YOU STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. DELAER HAS UPDATED SOFTWARE IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. 4. LOCKING AUDIO CONFIRMATION. WHEN YOU MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS IT GIVES YOU AN AUDIO OR LIGHTS CONFIRMATION. IT DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE. DEALER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE. 5. ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE. THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE ACTIVATED IT SELF WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION 5 MPH AND THE E. BRAKE CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. TURN THE ENGINE OFF SEVERAL TIMES, PUT IN PARKING, NEUTRAL ETC ETC. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF BLOCKING TRAFFIC HAD TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT. TURN VEHICLE OFF AND CALLED THE FLAT BED. WHILE WAITING 15-20 MINUTES LATER TURN VEHICLE ON AND SURPRISE!!! IT WAS FIXED. MAGIC. THE E BRAKE WAS OFF AND THE VEHICLE WAS FREE. WHILE THIS WAS GOING ON THE E BRAKE LIGHT (RED) WAS ON, AND SERVICE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT (AMBER) WAS FLASING ALL THE TIME. DEALER DID AN UPDATE TO THE SYSTEM AND NOT SURE IF IT WILL HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED. ONCE AT MY HOUSE ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO BUT IT TOOK ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND IT FIX IT SELF SO I DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO IT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AT A SHOPPING CENTER BUT SHE LEFT IT IN THE LOT AND WENT BACK SHOPPING AND WHEN IT CAME OUT IT WAS FIXED.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, WITH AN ERROR WARNING US TO 'SHIFT TO PARK', WHEN IT IS ALREADY IN PARK POSITION. THIS RENDERS THE DRIVER UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND WILL LEAD TO BATTERY DRAIN. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN TO LUCAS CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON DECEMBER 31ST TO FIX THIS AND WERE MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, NOT YET AT THE RECALL LEVEL. IT HAS NOW BEEN A MONTH SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ORDERED THE PART NEEDED TO MAKE THE REPAIR, ASSUMING THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING WE WERE TOLD THE PART WOULD BE DELIVERED IN JUST A FEW DAYS.

FIRST ISSUE IS, WHEN YOU STOP DRIVING THE TRAVERSE, PLACE IT IN PARK AND HIT THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, IT WILL SHUT OFF THE ENGINE BUT NOT THE ELECTRONICS. THE CAR DISPLAYS "ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK" EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY IN PARK WITH THE RED P LIT UP. YOU CANNOT TURN OFF THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU REPEATEDLY START THE VEHICLE, PLACE IT IN DRIVE THEN BACK TO PARK. EVENTUALLY IT WILL WORK CORRECTLY. VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. I AM JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AS THE RECOMMENDED FIX FROM MANUFACTURER DID NOT WORK. ALL OF WHICH ARE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES DESPITE THIS BEING A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. ALSO, VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY HAVE A LONG DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHIFTS IN GEAR. YOU SHIFT TO D AND HIT THE GAS AND THE ENGINE REVS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL FINALLY START TO GO. THIS DELAY WITH ENGINE REVVING ALSO HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN AT A STOP AND ACCELERATING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND I HAVE HAD A FEW NEAR MISSES OF ALMOST BEING HIT BECAUSE OF THIS! THIS SECOND ISSUE ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN GOING FROM A STOP.
