    The Shifter Control Assembly keeps malfunctioning 3 times in the last 4 years on our 2019 Chevy Traverse. When my wife puts the shifter in Park and proceeds to shut down the vehicle, the Traverse will not recognizes that she is in park already, and will not let her shut off the vehicle. She must then reverse and forward the care several times until the sensor or solenoid engages and recognizes it is in park. This creates a dangerous and frustrating situaiton. The dealership has confirmed this is an ongoing inssue with the Traverse, and Chevy Customer service also confirmed on the phone that this is a weel known issue and she was not sure why they did not recall or take care of this issue already. Official problem is "Internal Failure to Shifter/Solenoid Assembly". This has caused issues 3 times and our vehicle is not even at 90K miles. This is not a wear ant tear part, but a core functional item that should not go bad repeatedly in such a short period of time on a newer vehicle. Chevy Customer care has encouraged me to file this complaint and get this on record and have the NHTSA begin to work with the manufacturer.

    I had 1 air conditioner stop blowing cool air and it was covered on the warranty. In 2023, my AC stopped working again and had to be replaced again. Recently, my AC went out again. All three times it stops blowing cool air. I only have $70k miles on it.

    Own a 2019 Chevy Traverse that was bought brand new and properly maintained with regular, synthetic only, oil changes. Engine failed due to “failed rod bearing” at only 55k miles, 3 months outside of Chevy’s regular warranty. While replacing the engine, it was found that the catalytic converter also needed replacing.

    When placing the Traverse in park the car will not shut off and warns that the car is NOT in park while other indicators show that it actually is in park. Confusing and worried that it is not in park and that the car con not be safely shut off. Flipping the shift knob and button numerous times has, so far, finally allowed the car to shut off safely.

    Torque converter is bad. Codes will not come up when test ran. Mechanics mis diagnose the issue until it’s too late. Mechanic now doesn’t think it’s worth it to replace- wants whole new transmission.
