2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Complaints

I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, EITHER ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THAT SAYS SERVICE STABILITRAK/REDUCE ENGINE POWER/TRACTION CONTROL. THE NEXT DAY IT WILL RUN FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BOUCHER CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 1421 E MORELAND BLVD, WAUKESHA, WI 53186, (262) 549-1000). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL WAS LOW AND THE TIMING CHAIN, ACTUATOR, TENSIONER, AND CRANK CAM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING LIKE A OLD, OLD TRACTOR. I WAS TOLD THE MOTOR KEEPS LOSING OIL PRESSURE KNOWN THAT TYPE ENGINE HAS PROBLEMS BUT YET NO RECALL. I SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PAY FOR A NEW MOTOR AND INSTALLATION ON THIS. JUST GOT THAT FIXED AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION WENT ANOTHER EXPENSE ON MY PART. WHAT NEXT!! THIS CAR IS A LEMON LAW PROBLEM!! WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT? PLEASE HELP!! WHERES THE RECALLS?? THIS 2012 TRAVERSE IS SCARY TO DRIVE NOT KNOWN WHATS NEXT GOING TO HAPPEN ON THE ROAD. CANT GO ANYWHERE THAT INVOLVES DISTANCE.. I WAS STALLED IN THE INTERSECTIONS IN TOWN ON A BUSY STREET WITH LITTLE CHILDREN AND AN ELDERLY LADY.

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE, IVE ONLY OWNED IT LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND HAD ISSUES WITH SERVICE STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL AT LEAST 6 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR LOOSES POWER, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IVE EVEN HAD BLACK SMOKE COME OUT OF MY HOOD AND TAIL PIPE TRYING TO KEEP IT RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY SO MY FAMILY AND I WERENT KILLED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CODES IT THROWS MAKES NO SENSE . AFTER THEY WIPE THE CODES, LET IT SIT ITS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY TRAVERSE OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE, IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FAMILY DYING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, OR A CHILD BEING KILLED BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS LOST POWER IN THEIR ONLY CAR IN TRAFFIC AND A TRUCK HIT THEM. PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. I DONT WANNA DIE BECAUSE I BOUGHT A TRAVERSE. I CANT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT RIGHT NOW.

TAKATA RECALL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK SERVICE, AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE LIGHT ALSO. SICK IN TIRED OF THROWING MONEY INTO THIS TRAVERSE. I LOVE THE SUV BUT I CAN'T AFFORD ALL OF THIS MECHANICAL ISSUES.

ONE DAY JUST STARTING MY CAR NOTICED SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE ANY AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED MINI COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO NOTICED A RECALL FOR MY MODEL FOR AIRBAG ISSUES BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. MY WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WILL NOT DISPERSE AS WELL WIPER ARM HAND WAS REPLACED LINES WERE CHECKED AND FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND STILL NO FLUID AVAILABLE WHICH AFFECTS VISIBILITY WHEN ANYTHING SPLASHING ON THE WINDSHIELD.

FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITRACK LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CODES FLASHING, THEN AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT, VEHICLE WON'T GO FORWARD, IT JUST STOPS RIGHT THERE,AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS STOPPING OR STARTING.

LIFTGATE MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE THEN FALLS DOWN VERY QUICKLY WITH ALOT OF FORCE.

BACK HATCH DOES NOT STAY OPEN, WILL SUDDENLY FALL AND HIT YOU IN THE HEAD. OTHER 2012 HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE

WITHOUT ANY WARNING GOT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITY TRAK,SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT CORRELATION. I'VE LOOKED ON LINE AND HAVE NOTICED MANY TRAVERSE OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO A HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR REFUSES TO GO FASTER THAN 25 MILES PER HOUR. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 4 YEARS AGO AND IT DOES'NT EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN THE MESSAGES CAME ON AND I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL IN TO A GAS STATION BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON A 55 MILE AN HOUR ROAD AND THE CAR QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 25MPH.
