2025 Chevrolet Traverse

Hi, I purchased a 2025 Chevy Traverse High Country back at the end of November. It only had 2200 miles on it when my transmission started slipping. I was really enjoying this SUV too. On January 13th I noticed something weird happening when I would accelerate. When I would accelerate if felt like my tires were slipping on ice followed by a jerk. I knew it wasn't ice after accelerating at each stop. This worried me because my 10 month old son was in the vehicle with me. I was worried it was going to stop mid traffic. I drove it home and called the dealer and asked them to get me a loaner ASAP because the Traverse felt unsafe to drive. Luckily I got a loaner that same evening after dropping it off. When I returned home I saw the tranny leak on garage floor. A large reddish pink puddle. It's been in the shop since Monday. The Service department is trying to find parts to repair it. According to them they won't be available from GM until February 28th, unless they find it elsewhere. According to them it needs two bolts that are backing out of pump causing it to leak. Cars been in the shop now 11 days and counting. This is a big safety concern that needs to be made aware of to the public. People are purchasing this vehicle without knowing there's possible issues with the transmission. There definitely needs to be a recall on this transmission until they figure which ones are affected by this problem.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 MPH, the RPM revved up to the "RED Zone". The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was not depressed at the time of the failure. The contact stated that the "Check Engine" and "Reduced Speed and Traction" warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was losing motive power. The contact pulled off the highway turned off and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to shift to drive (D); however, the vehicle was hesitating while accelerating. The contact stated that while shifting into gear the vehicle jolted. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact had driven the vehicle back to the residence and became aware in the morning that there was a puddle of transmission fluid underneath the middle of the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

I was driving down the interstate in 3 lane traffic at approx. 70MPH. Car had 1,700 miles on it at the time. Engine abruptly reduced power and the RPMs shot up to 6000. It was a struggle to not get rear ended and get to the shoulder. With cars on either side this could have been a very different outcome. Upon getting to the shoulder the car would no longer go into gear. Dealer diagnosed it as a transmission failure and would need a new transmission. There was transmission fluid all under the car.
