2018 Chevrolet Traverse

ON A NORMAL SUNNY AFTERNOON AFTER ABOUT DRIVING FOR 20 OR SO MILES, WE WERE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO START SLIGHTLY JERKING AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP. ONCE STOPPED THE STOP/START FUNCTION OPERATED. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE THRU THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND LURCHING UNCONTROLLABLY THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT DARK. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF THE LINE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC, I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TRY THE START BUTTON. THANKFULLY THE VEHICLE STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON BUT THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE RUNNING NORMAL AGAIN AND WE WERE ABLE TO PROCEED. THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING AND DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY (I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED 2 WEEKS PRIOR, THIS WAS ONLY MY 2ND TIME DRIVING IT AND I HAD ONLY PUT 70 MILES ON IT IN THE 2 WEEKS I HAD IT). THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROX. 25,600. THE HARD CODE THE DEALER RETRIEVED NOTED A CAMSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE. THE SENSOR WAS NOTREPLACED, I WAS TOLD THAT GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE WHEN. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER PROGRAM ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE AS THEY SAID THE ISSUE MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. ONSTAR SENT ME AN EMAIL NOTIFYING ME THAT MY 2018 CHEV TRAVERSE HAD AND ENGINE/TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ASAP . THANK YOU ONSTAR, I AM VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IT WAS ALREADY AT THE DEALER BUT I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HOPING GM DOES SOMETHING VERY SOON, THIS IS A $50,000 VEHICLE WITH ONLY 25K MILES ON IT AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, CAR STARTED EXCESSIVELY JERKING AND STALLING (VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHILE TURNING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT) TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND SAID GM DOES NOT HAVE A 'FIX' FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE ARE 'CONCERNS WITH ALL 4 OR PAIRS OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE DCTS P0011 P0014 P0021 AND P0024. DEALERSHIP CLEARED CODES AND WE WERE TOLD 'CHANCES ARE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN'

FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN FILLING AS IF TANK WAS FULL. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A FILL UP, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT OCCUR. DEALER STATED THERE WAS GAS IN THE VENT LINE AND CHARCOAL CANISTER, AND THAT THE TANK HAD TO HAVE BEEN OVERFILLED. DEALER ASK STATED THEY BLEW OUT THE LINES AND CANISTER AS A COURTESY, AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, WE WILL BE EXPECTED TO PAY TO REPLACE THE VENT LINE AND CANISTER. WE HAVE NEVER OVER FILLED THE FUEL TANK. AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF WE STOP. IF THERE IS FUEL IN THE VENT LINE AND CANISTER, THERE MUST BE A MISSING/DEFECTIVE PART IN OUR FUEL SYSTEM, EITHER ALLOWING FUEL IN, OR DELAYING FUEL CUTOFF UNTIL IT IS OVERFILLED. I FILLED UP ON 4/28/19, THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE SERVICE, AND THE PUMP STOPPED ERRONEOUSLY 6 TIMES BEFORE FILLING UP THE FINAL 4.5 GALLONS WITHOUT STOPPING UNTIL FULL.

AS I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO TO TURN GREEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATED AND THE VECHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND LERCH FORWARD AND WOULD NOT ADVANCE ALMOST AS AS IT WAS LOSING POWER OR NOT RESPODING TO THE GAS PEDAL. VERY SCARY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN SEVERAL TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOW REPAIR YET ISSUED BY GM. I PURCHASED MY CAR IN SEPT 2018 AND STARTED HAVING ISSUED JUST MONTHS AFTER. THIS IS SCARY AND UNSAFE.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRAVERSE TODAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT TWICE, THEN WHILE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO THE SUICIDE LANE ON A 4 LANE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO OVER REV RED LINING AS IF IT COULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE WITH 16,000 MILES ON IT. ON ARRIVAL AT DEALERSHIP I INQUIRED IF THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WAS INFORMED THEY HAD TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MODEL AND MAKE CARS THAT HAD REPAIRS COMPLETED DUE TO A STRIKINGLY SIMILAR ISSUE. I'M REQUESTING THIS BE REVIEWED OR INVESTIGATED AS THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS ON FORUMS ACROSS THE INTERNET OF OTHER 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE BETWEEN 10,000 AND 20,000 MILES MEANING IT MAY BE A LARGER SCALE ISSUE THE CONSUMERS ARE FACING AND THE MANUFACTURER IS PUTTING US AT UNDO RISK BY NOT ISSUING A RECALL OR NOTICE REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. NOT TO MENTION MANY OF US SPENT $45,000 OR MORE FOR THESE VEHICLES AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.

VEHICLE TURNED OFF DURING OPERATION. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 45 MPH ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF. COASTED THE VEHICLE INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT WHERE PARKING GEAR WAS APPLIED AND VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW PRESENT. VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. WAS INFORMED IT WAS A SOFTWARE ANOMALY AND IS CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED. NO REPAIR, SOFTWARE WAS RESET AND VEHICLE WAS RELEASED

WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT LEVEL SURFACE THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. I PULLED OVER SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT CORRECTED ITSELF. THE NEXT DAY AFTER PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST. I TRIED PUTTING IT IN L AND MANUALLY SHIFTING AND IT STILL WOULDN'T LEAVE 1ST. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE AS IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING. IT JERKS THE VEHICLE AND IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER EXPERIENCES THIS IT WILL BE FATAL.

SPORADIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE. DURING OPERATION OF VEHICLE A SUDDEN JERK OF THE TRANSMISSION OCCURS AND THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS IN TRANSIT. I AM FORCE TO PULL OVER AND STOP VEHICLE IN ORDER TO PROCEDURE. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 7 MONTHS. DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT GM REPORTED THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME.
